Not only that, but if you notice, Van Darnus is Legatus of the VIIth legion, with his fight and storyline sharing some simalarities to FF7.

Van Baelsar himself is Legatus of the XIVth legion, which would imply that along the storyline we'll run into at least another 12 Legatus, possibly each with it's own distinct tie to the FF series. Maybe whoever the IIIrd Legatus is has to do with the Crystal Tower?

After all Yoshida did say he wants this game to have many throwbacks to the series.
