Unukalhai, if you talk to him after completing the 3.3 Warring Triad quest line, states that there's worlds other than Hydaelyn, and that he came from one where use of eikon-harnessing technology resulted in the world being effectively destroyed. So, this is just further confirmation of that.
It's always been a fun little musing of mine that - given who the Warring Triad are - Unukalhai might be from the world of FF6. Though, its War of the Magi was due to said Warring Triad fighting amongst themselves and turning people into magic soldiers (aka espers). However, it also had an Empire who used Esper-powered Magitek in a bid for world domination that ultimately ended with the entire planet being reshaped and basically left dying by a treacherous court mage.
Continuing with that thought, perhaps these other worlds that are being mentioned are the realms of the other games. Hence why Gilgamesh exists in FFXIV after crossing the void. Remember, he's not just a holiday event thing like Lightning or the FFXI Samurai/Visit from Shantotto. Which leaves you to wonder which of these game worlds - if true - are the ones that became engulfed by Darkness and Light, respectively. It could be quite the stretch though - especially considering most of the references to the other games are just that... references.
On the other hand, wasn't it mentioned somewhere that all the FF universes ARE interconnected through the Void or whatever? Perhaps in the Dissidia games? If they're delving more into that, then we could have quite some interesting information coming at us in the future.
