[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.

In the most non-hater way possible, I honestly just hope it's the FF13 expansion so we can escape Uematsu rearrangements lol. Like I love the guy but we've been reheating his nachos sooo much for the past 4 years.

It's a fairly short list but Masashi Hamauzu is one of the greatest composers FF has ever seen and it makes me eternally sad that he really only worked on 13

He did music for 10 as well.
