Please guys, can we cut that out? It's getting really unpleasant here. Let's just respect each other's opinions and try to talk about the game itself. Also, please keep in mind that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit - doesn't make you sound smart, quite the contrary - but that's beside the point now.

Crop - from what I can see in the trailer, they are using the "Fabula Nova Crystalis" name, so I guess it's still part of it, but those games are still very loosely connected, not even taking place in the same world. I think there's just some vague mythos thing going on that is the same for all the games. Basically, the crystals and all that trout. So yeah, it's a totally different world.
