Nope, different world but that's fine.Assuming the final DLC answers this question I guess we find out tomorrow!
Finished the DLC Wave 4 Xenologue, it's fun but difficulty is really imbalanced. I had to drop down to normal which was too easy, but I couldn't survive the first half of chapter 1 on Hard. Your character's Emblem relationship levels carry over to the Xenologue, but their levels and inventory are locked. Which is a big step down and a bit disorienting if you've already beaten the game. I'm not exactly sure where this would unlock in the storyline, but suddenly only having steel weapons was weird. I got over that though.
What I didn't get over is that you immediately have two new units whose death is a game over (like the main character). And one in particular absolutely sucks! It's part of the plot but ugh. Still, since the DLC is about the bracelets I made good use of Tiki and Soren and once I got that pattern down it was manageable, but again just felt imbalanced.
There are several plot twists I didn't see coming at all, and the overall mirror/dark world effect is well done and I like seeing this version of the characters. You get two new classes and new characters when you beat it, but if you've been debating whether or not to get the DLC I would say that the bracelets added in waves 1-3 were of much more interest and use, so use those to decide whether or not to purchase. If you've already bought the DLC you shouldn't avoid playing the Xenologue, there's some neat stuff in here. Just note that it seems to be either way too easy or way too frustrating. Ah well.
