No, they wanted to connect or at least reference these past games originally. After the poor reception EP5 initially got they basically had to scrap a lot of what they planned in order to manage a Free Field Quest on time. The intention was there they just had to scrap it.
still offended the veteran fans simply because : at least in official media , she is sacred .
and as the legend says : the mastermind of EP4 worked up to EP5 1st chapter and then he got kickout by the force for doing stuff with no course.
i mean if he/she wanted to involve characters from the original saga then Zio from phantasy star 4 was an obvious option as a villain .
Ragol probably exists somewhere in the universe (as in the universe, not the game) but there's been no mention of it or any efforts to go there/acknowledge it. Dark Falz/Dark Force exists, Profound Darkness exists, but Pioneer 2 and all of that is somewhere very far away and we have had zero contact with any of it, nor any knowledge of any timeline (could've happened in the past/future).
If PSO2 is connected to anything, then it's clearly the origin of everything, since we know the creation of the Profound Darkness was an event not that far in the past. Every other game in the series, Falz is some sealed ancient evil thing, the same about the PD origin, something in the very distant past.
There's unlikely any direct connection but due to the similar design of the ships between both games I'm suspicious that it was Pioneer 3 that found Xion. (Pagini randomly name drops this after trading photon drops.)
