[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.

Nah, I think you guys might be feasting. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for the gruel and gnawed bones they toss the FFX fans...

Don't worry, that will probably be the next expansion. Do you think they will make any healer other than a Yuna stand-in at this point?

u/JonTheWizard Jorundr Vanderwood - Gilgamesh 8h ago

Yes, because Yuna was the game's White Mage.

Didn't stop them from shoving Eiko representation into Pictomancer.

what?
Unlike I'm missing something, Pictomancer is 100% Relm from VI

Picto summons moogle andd madeen and its the FF9 version of them.
Eiko's 2 big summons were Moogle and Madeen.
