Like I said, it is a stretch, I was more linking the fact that the whole situation is already a FF6 reference, the Emperor and his "minion" are docked on the floating continent looking for the warring triad/ultimate power and Regula has gone off on his own agenda, just like how it is in FF6. Personally I would also like the emperor to not be killed, rather betrayed by Regula, and the rest of the plot play out as predicted (all warring triad defeated, Regula rises as a "god", we defeat Regula).
