Stephen supposedly not making a distinction between the Great Will and the Axiom is also not really evidence of the two being the same and can easily be interpreted as him only talking about the Axiom specifically and not the Great Will. Interestingly, every mention of 理 in the Japanese script of the Diamond Realm DLC lacks the \\\"大いなる\\\" part and only uses 理, so he might not even be referring to the Axiom as an entity here and may be just talking about a general \\\"bending the laws of the universe.\\\"
As long as there is no explicit confirmation from the devs that the Great Will and the Axiom are one and the same, this wiki should keep them separate. People troping things that seem \\\"obvious\\\" to them has led to more than one trope or audience reaction being taken to the cleanup thread, because sometimes what seems \\\"obvious\\\" isn\\\'t actually what the creators intended.
Finally, for what it\\\'s worth, Japanese fans apparently treat the Axiom as an equivalent of the Great Will rather than the same entity with a different name. Which, given the difference in their names\\\' meanings, is understandable.

The thing about \'\'IV Apocalypse\'\' is that it\'s a different setting that operates under different rules. It\'s a separate universe with different cosmology, and said cosmology does not feature the Great Will in it. Heck, even in the Diamond Realm DLC, the different worlds that the heroes come from have different cosmologies; for example, Demi-fiend\'s setting has Kagutsuchi as YHVH, while Flynn\'s setting has Lucifer being split off from Satan and meant to play the role of a scapegoat.

A lot of games will have references to previous games, but they will also have enough differences that you can say the settings are operating under different rules.

The fact is that there is nothing suggesting the two are the same thing, and unless a dev explicitly mentions that \\\"Yes, the Axiom is supposed to be \\\'\\\'the\\\'\\\' Great Will,\\\" putting it as a fact on this wiki is troping speculation. Again, I am inclined to think that the two are separate entities that fulfill a similar story narrative.
