Ascians and Espers FFXII relationship to FFXIV (Lore) - Potential SPOILERS!

[Zell]

FC mate of mine, Arngrim Heimdall (Hyperion) posted this.

I had no idea! You think we'll be fighting the Ascians in their Esper forms in the future?

I apologize if this is common knowledge but i HAD NO IDEA. It's pretty cool.

Edit:
More from my friend Arngrim,

" FFT had an optional boss names Eldibus who was a dark wizard that learned to summon Zodiark. The Ascian messenger in 2.1 story was also named Eldibus. Also we know from the end of the 2.0 missions that Zodiark is the true god of the Ascians. Zodiark has never been in any FF game outside the Ivalice ones."

" Each esper in FFXII had a counterpart "Scion". Five of those names match the names of the Ascians we've seen so far. Also, the glyph over the Ascians' face match the glyph used to summon them in FFXII."

We have the judges from XII as well and we know that Hydaelyn is connected to Ivalice (XII world) in strong ways.
