This is a bit different. If the FFXI items are in Hydatos then it adds credibility to the leak, but it doesn't change the fact the items actually are easy guesses. One of the items is already represented by a minion we have (Vermillion Cloak on the Wind-Up Tarutaru), and the other item (or two if you count both Discord leaks) are also pretty easy guesses as there aren't a whole lot of singular iconic pieces of equipment that stand out from FFXI that would make good call backs. Scorpion Harness, O. Hat, Emperor Hairpin etc.. So Vermillion Cloak, Kirin's Osode, and the Haubergeon are pretty easy guesses. It'd be different if those leaks came out before Eureka was added and any of those FFXI pieces were in the game.

Blufever's leaks have been solid, but even their leaks were vague at best when it came to the notion of a new player race. I only think a second race is coming when that vague info is paired with other evidence such as comments from the director and the overall peculiar way they went about announcing/showing viera as female only currently.
