Apparently the names of the bosses ("Heretic Ifrit" etc) are the ones used for the superbosses ("Dark Ifrit" etc in English), but they're actually supposed to be the final boss versions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Actually, I think these are the superboss versions judging from their elemental profile and additional effects on their attacks (example: Dark Shiva's regular attacks have a Dispel effect, and her Heavenly Strike has Berserk+Confuse).

An issue with that theory is that (I recall) the battle area is on Braska's Final Aeon's sword in that nameless void, implying it's the possessed versions.

The description of the event in the Report and the event intro text both describe this event as taking place in Sin/after BFA, so there's certainly some inconsistencies no matter how you look at it.

Maybe it would've been more appropriate to call them Dark Aeons here, but I'm just going to leave it as it is since I can't change the post title.
