Remember in Living on a Prayer, how one of the NPCs mentions that it's ironic that we should call upon the Aethyr -- Which we previously kind of owned (in the form of Garuda and Iffy)? Well, that insinuates that the primals and Aethyr are one. So let's assume that the Twelve are also of the same energy. (Or not, doesn't really matter).
At the very end of End of an Era, just before Louisoux smiles, the light begins to change into a bluer tone as it gets brighter, and I hear some noises which at first sound like just a bestial roar. Listening closely, though, I head the whinny of a horse, a couple growls and a screech. I don't know about you, but I can only think of one guy in FF who rides a horse.
I'm not saying Louisox survived -- I think it would mean a lot more to the story if he did die (despite how much I wish he didn't after his badassness in the trailer). I do think that look on his face was something other than "I accept my death" though. Right before he smiles, he looks like he sees something he recognises, or was waiting for.
I have a feeling that the primals showed up at the last minute to help, despite what we've done, so all our prayers and fighting had a purpose. It's worth mentioning, too, that the GC leaders (apparently) survive and are still doin' what they do in 2.0, and they were right there too. Which I don't think is possible if Bahamut's attack went unstopped.
