Come to think of it. The protag of the first game makes more sense to me.

In addition to the general connections, both started as rookies with no experience in the field who got special treatment due to special circumstances out of their control as their mentor disappears. Naturally, both would be seen as one of the best chances at humanity's survival, especially as the story progressed. Both are also rather stoic and seemingly unfazed by the tragedies occuring around them, keyword being seeming.
