I just randomly happened upon this, but I want to call attention to this. The Scholars of Baldesion take some inspiration from Final Fantasy V. Let's review some Evidence:

The full name of FFV's Krile is Krile Mayer Baldesion. Another interesting point is in one cut scene (I believe the final CS in 2.2) Minfillia says "Krile... if only you were here." That really struck me...

I'm betting the leader of the Scholars of Baldesion is this Krile person. Most likely she'll be a fairly young Sharlayan girl. She may also have some connection to Moogles or some draconian species.

I'm sure there are other V references around them I'm missing.
