<p><em>Final Fantasy Type-0</em> is set in Orience however it seems to be connected with <em>Final Fantasy XIII</em> as ultimately the world is being manipulated by  fal'Cie in the forms of </p>

</ul>

<p>since these fal'Cie seems to have came from Pulse or Lindzei and more or less going after the the same end goal Pulse's and Lindzei's fal'Cie on Gran-Pulse and Cocoon were after, does this mean that Orience is somewhere on Gran-Pulse? or is it another artificial world like Cocoon or something else?</p>
