Nope!
Well, not exactly. I saw their pitches or summaries or something. So I had some idea of what they were doing, but to this day, I don't know the full stories -- still waiting to get mine. XD (Hopefully they're waiting to send them all together, and since mine is last...)
I'll say this, though: What they were doing really didn't influence my story in any meaningful way. But I think I knew what I wanted to do even before I saw theirs. I think I asked about them after to see if there was anything to tie them together in such a way, but in the end, not really.
Hmm, so their stories didn't influence yours.
That Metool better not turn into Data the monkey. Or will it? Hehe

My thumbs hurt! Finished Zero 2!
I was suppose to only play one boss after that darn Phoenix burning guy but the other boss was so easy (in Casual mode) that I continued until all three of the first four were beaten.
Then the cool bomb thing happened so I had to play. Then Harpuia was a boss in the next set of four so I had to play (cuz I want to know why he saved Zero) but no info so beat the others.
Then to Neo Arcadia. I just wanted to try the start but there were temples after with the Guardians. Had to push until Harpuia, who... is fighting Elpizo? So he's good now?
This is the point when I HATED not being able to skip the boss cutscenes. Had to die three times from Harpuia pushing me to the edge with his whirlwind before I realized I had to cling to the edge to survive.
Beat him. Beat the repeat bosses (Phoenix guy still tough but with Thunder, he goes down faster. Frog was hard too). Beat Elpizo with second try (he's easy? But I died the first time and had to endure the loooong cut scene).
Who the hex is the Dark Elf? Why does Zero know her? I haven't finished X6 and X7 but the only ladies around were Iris and Layer, Alia, Palette.

Started Zero 3 and Harpuia, Fefnir and Leviathan fought Omega and there's a floating head named Weil? Anyway, have to stop and just play ZX to prep for comic reading. Ugh, just rambling.
Have to say, Casual mode makes thing easy but I KNOW I'm missing on a ton of cool stuff. I doubt I'll play the games on regular mode since I still have to play other games like Breath of the Tears Zelda, MetroiDread and a Pokémon Silver I borrowed. I need to sleep, uuuugh
