** The original ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel'' gives us Colonel General Shvein Hax, the man commanding the all-out invasion of Gasco on behalf of the Berman Army. Like Fool and Bruno, his ultimate goal is to [[spoiler:reawaken a LivingWeapon to wield its power for his own ends]], but that's where the similarities end. Unlike Fool, he has an entire army at his disposal as opposed to just the Black Cats Gang, and he's also not [[TheUnfought too lazy or cowardly to fight the heroes himself]], since he actively encourages the children to try and fight him once his plan is in motion. And unlike Bruno was seemingly motivated by nothing more than a desire to TakeOverTheWorld and [[ForTheEvulz attain power purely for the sake of it]], Hax is motivated by PatrioticFervor and doesn't even bother trying to be a VillainWithGoodPublicity since he truly believes what he's doing is righteous and is aided mostly by [[MyCountryRightOrWrong subordinates who feel the same]]. Another thing that separates him from Bruno is that [[spoiler:he ''succeeds'' in gaining control of a Titano-Machina through using the Tarascus to reawaken and become one with the Vanargand, whereas Bruno failed to do so and seemingly had his life force consumed back into Lares]]. To a lesser degree, Hax is also the first villain to be a MirrorBoss, as [[spoiler:his Tarascus tank is functionally similar to the children's Taranis]].

''Little Tail Bronx'' (リトルテイルブロンクス, ''Ritoruteiruburonkusu'') is a SharedUniverse of games created by Creator/CyberConnect2, inspired by the works of Creator/HayaoMiyazaki (with ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' and ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'' being among the most prominent influences) with a few hints of ''Franchise/MegaMan'' here and there. Populated by [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic dogs and cats]] known as Caninu and Felineko, ''Little Tail Bronx'' is set in a WorldInTheSky with fantastic airships, vehicles and personal mechas galore. Beneath the cheerful surface, however, there are also many ruins and weapons [[LostTechnology from ages long past]] scattered across the endless sky of floating islands, and there are quite a few villains out there that have taken a devious interest in them. When those times come around, it's up to new heroes to rise up and embark on journeys to save their world.

** ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel'' features an ensemble cast with no definite main character, but Malt Marzipan is viewed by most to be the ''de facto'' protagonist. Compared to how Red Savarin is an adventurer-for-hire who enjoys getting in a scuffle, Malt is an average farmhand boy who enjoys peace and the country lifestyle. Malt also acts as a [[BigBrotherInstinct doting older sibling figure]] to all the other kids on the Taranis (sometimes to his own detriment) and manages to be a competent leader figure, in contrast to Red's more immature and laid-back attitude. The contrast grows once ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel2'' is taken into consideration, making Malt a borderline cynic compared to Waffle Ryebread's AllLovingHero nature and Red's downplayed KnightInSourArmor attitude, and despite Red being the most aggressive out of the main heroes, not even he would outright wish death to anyone.

''Little Tail Bronx'' is a SharedUniverse of games set in a WorldInTheSky inhabited by cat and dog people called Felineko and Caninu. It was created by Creator/CyberConnect2. The games in this series are:

* CosmicHorrorReveal: [[spoiler:Every game is rife with this, as each adventure usually starts with "local hero in a mecha is tasked with stopping an egotistical villain from trying to TakeOverTheWorld", before suddenly throwing everything out of scale and ramping up the stakes with the introduction of the warped Titano-Machina, which are presented as AlwaysChaoticEvil with legends and stories about how they bring about great calamity every time they are awakened. What makes it interesting is that the Titano-Machina are all ''man-made'', using the gifts bestowed upon humanity by the godly Juno. ''Solatorobo'' initially subverts this by introducing Lares early on, with most of the plot involving Red and Elh running around trying to stop it and Bruno... only to end up Double Subverted thanks to the second half of the game, with Baion using Lares and Lemures to open Tartaros, which sits firmly within another dimension, to enact total genocide through the CODA command.]]

* AlternateHistory: As shown by [[https://archive.org/details/solatorobo-supplemental-material-translation-english/Reset%20Information%20From%20Artbook information]] shared in a ''Solatorobo'' art book, [[spoiler:the history of the series' universe mainly diverges from our own at around the mid-20th century, following the initial discovery of the Juno in 1971 and its utilization by humanity in the decades following. Also mentioned is that a war broke out in the Middle East in March of 2003, followed by WorldWarIII a year later, and the "Reset" that restarted all life on the planet some time afterwards.]]
