Lahabrea has a penchant for making fire creations, according to Emet in 'Ere Our Curtain Falls'. I think that's more of a nod to Hephaestus than anything else. The name Pandaemonium may well have nothing to do with previous references in the series, although it is fun seeing potential links. We haven't really seen any major motifs that link up with FFII/XIII/IX yet, and I would have expected the musical score to hint at it stylistically. FFII has some fairly memorable tracks.

Then again, the character in white in the back might introduce themselves as Minwu for the laugh and everything would change. Who knows, really.
