According to this - http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...l=1#post898626 - they're both proxy's for our own characters (for trailer and advertising purposes it would seem) as well as characters that exist in Eorzea on their own. Since they are confirmed to exist, and this party of five is identical across the board...unless we learn later that they are a twisted version based on them but with a different origin, it's the same set of characters.
