Zack is the only Final Fantasy character to appear in the game. Other Final Fantasy characters were originally planned to appear but Tetsuya Nomura thought that they would have made the story go too far off track.
Zack was chosen to be the only Final Fantasy character due to the fact the development team wanted a character that was from the past to fit with the prequel story.

Vanitas' name is derived from the Latin word for "Vanity" or "Emptiness". The name was chosen for its meaning, the similarity to the name "Ventus", and as it's a written pun on "Sora" in Japanese.
Tetsuya Nomura: I wanted to give him a name that meant "empty", and so I looked for something that would be appropriate. When I was searching I found a word that meant "emptiness" in Latin, "Vanitas". It looked a lot like Ventus's name, and in Japanese it has the kanji for "sora" in it, so I thought it was perfect. Of course in Vanitas's case it doesn't mean "sora [sky]" but "kara [empty]" [These two words are written with the same kanji, but are said differently and have different meanings.]
