May be FFXIV more FF than we thought?

[Dannythm]

So as I said, until the release of ARR I'm replaying all FF's through FF to FFXIII-2 (the main series, but I'm thinking on including the PSx tactics too) just the main story, not the secrets or 100% completion, so I can identify all the FF elements that Yoshi decides to include in ARR.

So, while replaying FF, I arrived at the Crescent Lake and... met with the Circle of Knowing. So, below are some of the things they told me (do not continue if you haven't played the original FF and want to, spoilers ahead):

So there are legends and prophecy that will be fulfilled, so I guess this is typical from a fantasy game, but it reminded me to Uradinger.

Hmm... Twelve Sages... lead by the stars and prophecy. Twelve gods... but the circle of knowing in FFXIV had six members... maybe some perished? if they truly are Allegan that's a high chance not all of them remain, or not all of them showed up? It's still suspicious...

Some fiends seized the power of the orbs (crystals)... like Bahamut maybe did through Atomos to the Aetherites? The similarities keep going...

Didn't the beastmen tribes had altars to summon the primals and we needed something special to be able to loot them? It's not the same but may be inspired, and we haven't crushed them for real anyway.

Ohhhh... what was that? the end of an era? Fiends (Primals) wanting world destruction? Where have I seem something like that?

We awoke the power of the echo by watching a light, then Luoisoix saved us through a light and at the end of the trailer a light shines making Lou smile...

Different Umbral eras caused by different elements?

Oh and also Garleans, Garlean Empire, etc.. sound too much like Garland, even the aesthetics are somehow similar. Also akin the Judges armors in FFXII, but those are probably based around the same idea.

So, what do you say, is the current lore of FFXIV more inspired on the original FF than we have been told? For me it sure seems that way, and I'm really loving it!

Post in this thread if you found other stuff too similar to other FF's as for now, that doesn't seem to be concidence, and no, FFVII meteor is too obvious . Or how would you tie other FF story/places/elements into XIV's world, with what we know so far...
