Amon not the only FFIII character making an appearance?

This could very well be a coincidence, but the name seems very similar to Xande from FFIII.

Is it possible we might see a reappearance of this overlooked FF villain?

Haven't we already seen a picture of the garlean emperor? I think he is on the ARR website.

You're thinking of the Garlean Empire, Emperor Xandes is the Allagan Empire.

Oh yeah, my mistake lol.

I think hes supposed to be an allusion/reference to said FFIII Emperor like the Crystal Tower is to its counterpart in FFIII. Or like how Garland in FFIX is an allusion/reference to the original Garland of FF.

I don't think it's a coincidence at all - looks like another reference to FFIII. :)

"An enormous, vast, gigantic, underground tower! Do you not see? <sigh> Of course you don't... It could only be the lost tomb of Xandes─the first emperor of Allag of whom I spoke mere moments ago. But wait, there it more to tell! You see, it is impossible that a normal building, however large, could release so much ethereal energy. An immense crystal on the other hand─that most certainly could."

Aye, it happened. The Crypt of Xandes I lies in the depths of Silvertear Falls. What you saw took place there, when van Darnus finally tracked me down. I thought myself as good as dead.

They did mention that Cloud of Darkness will be in there. I don't think a final boss from another FF has ever been in another main entry before.

I wonder what race he would be... Roegaydn? Highlander? Elvaan?

Was that concrete or were devs just giving examples of things that they wanted to put into the game?
