The Great Betrayal!

[lololink]

FFIII is the perfect example of this. When you enter the World Of Darkness, you encounter the Warriors of Darkness there. They're summoned to bring balance whenever LIGHT overflows the dark. I wonder if the World of Darkness ties into the Main Story line...

So this makes perfect sense.

Except that the world of darkness isn't a parallele universe in FFXIV, it's the void. FFXIV isn't a universe with a balance of two worlds.

the forbidden land of eureka and the world of darkness are never stated as the void directly and using dissidia exdeath the one titled 'guardian of the void' and 'god of nothingness' when he fights cloud of darkness says 'The Void you desire is false.' meaning the world of darkness may not be a true void, but still in the eyes of the warriors of darkness they saw the warriors of light being evil and if i recall don't they kill the 'flood of light' as the warriors of light kill the 'cloud of darkness'?

Err, Rammbroes or graha cleary says that the world of darkness is how the allagan named the void, and the cloud of darkness is not the cloud of the world of darkness, it's darkess for void, the cloud is a being of the void that is here to destroy the world engulf it in his dark cloudness ( if you can say that ) where time is stopped, it appear when the world isn't balanced, may it be because of light or darkness, so there isn't any cloud food light or wathever. The warriors of darkness aren't the ennemies of the warriors of light as they have the same goal. And I wouldn't take anything from Dissidia if I were you.

that is within FFXIV, i am talking within FFIII where the original lore was stated, this cloud of darkness has been taken and altered to fit within the world of FFXIV and its established lore, as for disced yes it is a side story set in world B but it still would play on the fact of the characters original land and was only used a s a reference to FFIII's world of darkness NOT FFXIV's world of darkness.

as with the warriors of darkness using other games in which they have appeared are the polar opposites and enemies of the warriors of light (then normal combine to fight a evil stronger then what they had intended this includes multiple spin offs as well as ffiii) also FFIII's cloud of darkness was 'banished' from the world of darkness, that could be on how they tied this entity to the one we are seeing in FFXIV. just saying if your going to use the lore on a area / entity that is infused with multiple lores and settings it becomes a rather confusing mess,

also the allag empire froze time by its own mages, that was stated to prevent there destruction, that had nothing to do with the void- entity that we will be facing,

the confusing ness of this entity is followed along other characters such as ultros typhoon and gilgimesh typhon and ultras are monsters from the world of balance not creatures of the void, and gilgimesh was human not voidscent in FF-type-0 he even talks about his village of birth. but in other final fantasy's he is referred to as a void like creature or one with no birthplace, a contradiction.

In wich games ? Because warriors of darkness only appear in FF 3 and FF Dimensions and they are good guys in both games.

Didn't we already do the grand "Scions secret base is attacked, everyone is broken up and must survive until they can regroup, some lives are lost" and so on. Doing that again seems redundant.

Kind of, only this time they seem to put up much more of a fight. Last time it was basically a slaughter. Based on the trailer, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see everyone pull through and re-group.

Also, not seeing where people are getting the idea of a betrayal in the trailer. . .

dimensions and i beleave 2 games on mobiles that had mention of this (all the bravest also mentions warriors of dark) but that game is nothing more then cash grab so i do not think that counts

but regardless to go back to the original post of mine FFXIV clouds of darkness may not be the same thing as FFIII's cloud of darkness


edit: a friend of mine, has told me bravely default (a technical final fantasy game that yoshi-p worked on) has a 'true ending' in which you were found to be warriors of dark destroying the crystals for the creator 'oroborous'
