How many Versions of the Story Are There? (Spoilers)

[Atreides]

I play on a new server and have been called "Warrior of Light" in the ending cut scenes.

There is a huge reference from Cid if you were a 1.0 player who completed United we Stand. The final scenes specifically referenced he already knew that I was one of the previous Warriors of Light, and he kept this information hidden until the very end when the shrouded memory was lifted from the Scions.

The Scions concluded that Cid already knew that I was a Warrior of Light. He confirmed it. As a 1.0 player, I was pretty happy about this after going the entire story being a shrouded memory to everyone, having knowledge all along the way that everyone was talking about me without even knowing it.

The impression I get as a non-Legacy character is that I'm supposed to be a new hero, in the vein of a Warrior of Light. It's more like stepping into a role than being a reincarnation. Frankly, they leave it a bit ambiguous and for that I'm glad. As someone who is non-Legacy, I'm happy with the way they did it. If they'd pushed to being a reincarnation of a 1.0 player (i.e. not me), that would have been a bit irritating. Due to there being two story lines (and no Legacy characters on my server), this has been solidly avoided.

I'm still kinda curious as to where the other 1.0 characters stand as far as lore goes. Like, there's the 1.0 characters who got the new cutscene, people like me who didn't, and then the new 2.0 players.

I guess everyone gets to be a Warrior of Light in the end though, just curious about the story at this point.

well from what I understand there are 3 different questlines, all 3 differ slightly but not that much, its only how the NPC recognise you as, theres the warrior of Light the ones that Beat White Raven, theres the Meteo survivors the ones that didnt beat White Raven and then theres the new characters created in ARR.

Warrior of Light get responses like "you look Familiar"
Meteor ones get ?
New Characters get ?

I dont know the second and third ones since I havent restarted or had a character that hasnt beated white raven.

I didn't beat the White Raven and I got the "You look familiar" story sequence. If the quest "United We Stand" was the qualifier for that sequence, then you just had to destroy the transmitter not beat the White Raven.

After beating the current story just to update, I'm fairly certain, even though my character is 1.0 and has the legacy tattoo, as far as my story is concerned I'm like every other 2.0 character. Which isn't bad, I wasn't actually playing 1.0 when the "world ended" so I can't be too upset about being left out of it. It seems like 2.0 characters are all warriors of light though, just new ones.

I was confused by one cutscene though, the one where apparently I go back in time and give Cid his goggles, what was that about? I don't ever remember doing that, lol.

ofc not because that in the present, in the "now" you go into cid's past with the echo and somehow he sees you there.

the given discription is that you can use Echo to travel the memory of the said person they can see you and intract with you just as you can interact but cannot change anything, but can help person change their preception of events that took place, so what you did was give Cid symbole of his memories i.e. those glasses, they helped him recover his memories think of it like bread crums you just went into his memories and left the bread crums from him to follow so that he can remmeber what he forgot in first place.

Yea, you had to get past United We Stand to get the 1.0 storyline for ARR.
Anybody who didn't didn't, we get the same story as 2.0 players. Kinda sucks but nothing people can do but be mildly annoyed, since nobody seems to remember being told about that qualifier before the one thread in General Discusion. :/
