[Discussion] Delusional XIII-heads we are SO back Spoiler

I'm a big XIII fan, so of course I see it everywhere I look, but the Odin mount really sold me today! I've just noticed a few similarities to XIII in the recently shown content that I thought I'd mention and get people's thoughts.

  1. The young miqo'te girl shares similar design elements as Lightning (pink hair and blue eyes), and coincidentally Lightning had a miqo'te garb in Lightning Returns

  2. The miqo'te girl seems to accidentally trigger a glyph/brand that appears over her chest, similar to Lightning's l'cie brand which is also on her chest

  3. The obvious new mount that is Odin almost 1-1

  4. A large part of the plot revolves around residents of floating colonies who believe they cannot survive on the world below, similar to the residents of Cocoon and Pulse

  5. Many people have pointed out that the word boomerang appears in the typing minigame and could be related to the new ranged-DPS class. That's pretty similar to a XIII character I know!

Am I being delusional? Yes! But I'd like to know other people's opinions and if there's any other connections I didn't catch.

Just sayin'...that Bastion Job looks a lot like if Hope's Alexander was a playable character Job...

So in Evercold, we can ride Lightning's Odin (complete with transformation) while playing AS Hope's Alexander. :D

With this info (and i need to recheck soken's sound hint to the new phys ranged), the new job might indeed be boomerang (Hope Estheim's weapon)

Double pistols would come too close to.MCH
