We've seen what Garlemald's capital looks like already - it very closely resembles Vector from FFVI appropriately enough (albiet snowbound). So that's out I'm afraid.

FFIX was the last great FF aside from 14, the more references the better.
Hopefully more bosses like Ozma and COSTUMES. The garnet dress for example would be amazing, kuja outfit (with his epic hair), etc.
Oh maybe, but surely I want something to resemble Lindblum in the future, really loved the aesthetics of that city. Maybe when SE finally introduces Airships as personal mount of housing, it can be introduced in Lindblum inspired city, an instanced area where all airships are docked.
5.0 spoilers.
Aside from other things mentioned in this thread, I also got IX feels from the fight with Hades.
In IX, you fight Hades in an area constructed of memories. He's found in the ocean room.
In XIV, you also fight Hades in a memory/ocean zone.
I thought his design was similar to Oeilvert too:

"When Zidane and his party enter Oeilvert, they find it was built by the Terrans and holds devices that record Terran history. The holographs strewn across the ruins depict a Terran civilization that was advanced and inquisitive about its world, yet ultimately dying." - from here: https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Oeilvert
Also, you learn about the construction of warships like IX's Invincible in Oeilvert. That warship is a reference to an airship from III, but IX's is notable for absorbing people's souls.
One of XIV!Hades' battle themes is fittingly titled "Invincible."
