Line 44:
* ''[[Super Sentai]]'' (less so for ''[[Power Rangers]]'').
** ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' as well: the main character will have large bug-esque eyes in suit-form, they will kick things, and they will ride a motorbike. Apart from that, everything changes from season to season, with the exception of ''Black'' and ''Black RX''.
* The [[Charlie Brooker]] series ''[[Black Mirror (TV series)|Black Mirror]]'' consists of three short films: the first one is set [[Next Sunday ADA.D.]] and involves the Prime Minister being forced into bestiality on live TV, the second is set in a distant [[Cyberpunk]] dystopian future where the masses are sedated by reality TV and [[Casual Video Game]]s, and the last is set in a [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|near-future]] world where people's memories can be stored like TV shows on a Tivo/Sky Plus box. The connection? All three are about the dehumanising influence of technology, with a particular focus on the pros and cons of total connectivity.
* ''[[Tales of the Unexpected]]'' is a series of unrelated short stories revolving around blackly surreal horror behind everyday lives.
 
Line 50:
 
* The ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' series has few actual sequels. Most games take place in alternate realities, although there is some small overlap. All the worlds do exist in the same multiverse, though, since [[Word of God]] confirms that Gilgamesh is the same person in (almost) every appearance.
* [[Square Enix|Enix's]] Heaven/Earth series: ''[[Act RaiserActRaiser]]'', ''[[Soul Blazer]]'', ''[[Illusion of Gaia]]'', and ''[[Terranigma]]'' all revolve around restoring a destroyed Earth and defeating the great evil that was responsible for destroying the Earth, with the main character disappearing after his job is done. They were all at least published by Enix.
* The ''[[Team Ico Series]]'' consists of ''[[Ico]]'', ''[[Shadow of the Colossus]]'', and ''[[The Last Guardian]]'' which are standalone games that take place in the same universe, share visuals and gameplay, and are all connected by the appearance of horns on certain characters, which mark them as sharing the blood of a god.
* ''The [[Seiken Densetsu]] Series'' by [[Square]], include a mythical sword that from all other famous Swords are based from(as in they are all the same Sword, just different name on different eras), also, the world commonly has it's own [[Tree of Life]], and there are various espers guarding the elemental forces of the world(probably orbs).
