Have I been completely oblivious before, or...

If you look at the picture of Solus (old) in the post above, then this image...

...the resemblance - if only of the outer parts - is clearly there.

Not saying it's identical, but a clever way of making something resemble another without outright making it obvious.

It also strongly looks like his FF12 design, with the 'fish' body making up the top, and a modified side motif.

I've seen both the throne and the statue from 2.3 [The picture you linked is from 2.3 Defenders of Eorzea and the statue I mentioned before] and I honestly don't see any resemblance.

I even went to look at the Defenders of Eorzea trailer that the Zodiark screenshot is from to see when they zoom in on it. I'm sorry, just think its reaching in my opinion.

This one I agree too, you could compare the sides of the throne to the XII model.

Sorry about potato drawing, I'm on my phone. The statue is very dark, but look closely and you can see the side pieces clearly.

Those protrude backwards from behind the statue, slant outward then loop back connecting into the base like, well big bunny loops. Its easier to see in the trailer than in the front on screenshot. I can see now why you see a resemblance though and where, though knowing how the statue is I don't feel the throne was designed as a nod to it. Would still say I agree with Enla in that is resembles XII Zodiark.
