A thought: Where are the other recurring characters such as...

If we go to the moon (which I'm almost positive we will, since that is literally Zodiark's corpse and where the Ascians live), there might be a 24-man raid or savage dungeon where we will see Magus Sisters/4 Archfiends from FF4. Having the FF1 fiends is tricky because Kraken, Lich, and Tiamat already exist as different kinds of mobs. The 4 fiends from FF4 have more personality and style, anyway. They've nearly existed all bosses from FF1-6, so I think we may start seeing more bosses from FF7+ honestly. Especially with Garlemald being front and center, there's tons of machina in FF7 to draw from. Proud Clad, Airbuster, Heligunner, Carry Armor. There's X-ATM092 from FF8, BGH251F2, and Mobile Type 8

I'm new to the FF series, but I was hugely into the Phantasy Star series (namely 3 and 4) I'm finding a lot of cross-over lore in this game now that I'm better understanding it. I highly recommend people who never played Phantasy Star on Genesis take a look at it. Start with 4 then go to 3.

Anyone who knows both series feel the same?
