It's not the same. FFXIV ones doesn't stand on one leg, they're not so 2-dimensional-like like in other games and they don't have the feel of awesomeness. I don't care about the realism on cactuars as long as they can be in their most awesome form.

Marquis Elmdore complete with Celia and Lede (theyre borrowing from other ff, why not add a nod to tactics)
Final Fantasy 3
Cloud of Darkness

Would be awesome to see her as the final boss in the Crystal Tower raid. Would bring a ton of nostalgia to the game.
Final Fantasy IV
Four Elemental Fiends

I always thought it would be a neat fight with all four of them at once. Like their fight in the Giant of Babil, they take turns fighting you, and maybe at 10% they all come at you at once with a shared HP pool.
Final Fantasy V
Gilgamesh
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__...gamesh_PSP.png
This one is a given. His background story makes it that he can appear in any Final Fantasy world and I think it is time he took a visit to Eorzea. Good excuse to drop Genji Gear and possibly nostalgia weapons.
Tonberry

No doubt he will make his inevitable appearance, but don't we always want Tonberrys in our Final Fantasy games? Maybe become some type of summon for Arcanist/Summoner.
Final Fantasy VI
Ultros
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__...ltrosFirst.PNG
While already done in FFXIII-2, I think they could have a place in here some how. We already have artwork of Typhoon for FFXIV, naturally he needs his partner in crime, Ultros, yes? Maybe not a fight, but some form of cameo appearance from him.
Doomgaze

This was a very awesome monster to go against, and has great designs that would work well in this game.

EDIT: Nevermind, before today -- when I first encountered it -- I had no idea they exist in XIV. They weren't in XIII or XIII-2, so...

Behemoth & Behemoth King
