Related games have a way of "becoming" sequels over time, regardless of what was "intended" initially. Was Frenzy ever actually marketed as a sequel to Berzerk? Was Illusion of Gaia supposed to be the sequel to Soul Blazer? And so on. Game titles are notorious for being confusing and unclear, especially when localization is involved, and we tend to link games that share similar aesthetics and mechanics, regardless of whether or not they "should" be connected. Personally, I like to be as inclusive as possible. So, for example, if you want to experience everything that the world of Dragon Slayer has to offer then, yes, definitely check out Xanadu Next.
