We have very clear evidence of characters from other games coming to FFXIV but what about the one or two times where it seems like they're already part of the world? Did the events of those games happen in FFXIV? Do those characters exist in FFXIV but their stories are different? Could the characters traverse the multiverse and meet....themselves?
I think in this particular case, it's SE doing a throwback. Much in the same way we somehow got clothes from multiple different previous Final Fantasy titles from Veterans rewards. It's there for OOC fun, not necessarily an IC reason. Aside from Gilgamesh (and the couple other events), we haven't seen any named characters from other titles travel to/stay in Eorzea.
