Here it is, a priest of the Light of Kiltia in FFXII making the sign of the Blood-Sin from Vagrant Story.
The Light of Kiltia is the biggest religion spanning all of Ivalice. They believe in the god of light, Faram.
It originated in Ordalia, which was to the east of the Ivalice (the kingdom in FFT). This is probably why it stuck out but morphed into "Farlem" milennia later in FFT.

It is interesting that a religion based on the god of light is making the prayer sign of the tattoo that gives its user control of "The Dark".
This could also mean that the Dark always existed as a form of negative energy as the opposite of the Mist in FFXII being everywhere.

By the time of Vagrant Story, the mist seems to have disappeared. People having lost the ability to use magic (which in FFXII is done using mist). However, users of the Dark are able to use magic.
In some ways, they could also be the same form of energy, just used differently.

The great crystal in FFXII has a huge ball of magicite in its core. Fran even comments Ashe could destroy all of Ivalice if she wished it. This means that the Occurias had control of the Mist itself. The evolution of every species were dictated by them. 
Now, what event happened in the history of Ivalice that caused its destruction? My guess is that the Great Crystal was ignited and caused it.
This means that Ivalice now had finite amount of Mist, down to it being almost non-existent by the time of Vagrant Story

This means that, potentially, the Dark in Vagrant Story is a kind of energy that harnesses the mist left in the bodies of animals and people killed under its influence. That's my theory anyway.
What fuels my theory is that the Tyrant boss, the organic boss who is closest to the Great Crystal, disappears in stream of light particles. The same way some enemies die in Vagrant Story!
Another thing to note is that the summoner Elidibus in FFT, who holds the secret thirteenth auracite, has a command called "The Dark".
This auracite has the Ophiuchus sign. In FFXII, the same sign is assigned to Zodiark, a dark-based esper, and the strongest one.
