All FF games do this.Actually, Cloud of Darkness might be the same as FF3, just like Gilgamesh which is always the same in all games. But for the rest, they're probably different things.
There is an entire wiki that lists all of the FF game references in FFXIV.
Some of the obvious ones:
FF3 allusions in the Allagan backstory. Is FF3 the prequel to this game? No >>
Matoya and Matoya's cave is from FF1. Did she and her cave travel to Eorzea? Probably not.
Elidibus is a summoner in Tactics and he has the summon Zodiark. Did he suddenly decide to become an Ascian and appear in Eorzea and use his summon to destroy Hydaelyn? Prolly not.
Golden Saucer in VII
Magiteck from VI
Cloud of Darkness from 3 (first note)
....
The tactics gear from the 60 dungeons...
Everything in this link:Â http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final.../Allusions
All FF games do this too. Not just FFXIVÂ
You can take it for what it is...but in my personal opinion, it'd be best to just remake the character FOR Eorzea...
I did not play FFXI 'cause no PC and I didn't really grow up with internet anyways...but regardless of the story I think it's highly unlikely that they would end up in Eorzea.
Aaaah quick edit:
FF3 and 4 and tactics seem to have more in common with Eorzea stuff than FFXI outside of the face. A lot of the MMO core lore (time/spacial keeping, general race look--which was standard for more than just FFXI...a lot of game shave human-like, elf-like, animal-like, little people-like races--and what not)may have been from FFXI, but lore wise, it's not really connected. A lot of character models seem to be the same and some names (like xys is an upscaled version of abc)...but there's not much story impact from what I'm reading.
