Exactly, they're the bad guys. I've also heard that they are refered to as the terror knights a while ago. I know in the translation, Balthier says of the judges, "Judges? More like executioners." If you've seen the trailer, that guy in the black armor is a judge. The guy in the logo is also apparently a judge.

I think it's been made clear that the FFT, FFTA and FFXII are all different Ivalices with certain similarities... at least that's what I've heard a lot.
