I want to be a Warrior of Darkness! D:

You guys are worse than the adventurers who give the Imperial Salute.

...and I persecute those people mercilessly!

And I give that salute.....Mercilessly!

Depends on what Lore they set the WoD in FF14 since the WoD in FF3 are people chosen to protect the world while keeping the Balance between Light and Darkness by keeping the Light in check since if the Light becomes too strong it will seek to consume the world.

Just like the WoL who are people chosen to protect the world while keeping the Balance between Light and Darkness by keeping the Darkness in check since if the Darkness becomes too strong it will seek to consume the world.

Makes sense. The Warrior of Darkness can probably summon Primals, too (since doing that is killing Hydaelyn).

I never understood the appeal to be "the bad guy" lately.

It's not so much as to be the bad guy, so much as I kinda just don't want to be the Scion's goffer anymore. :B

Plus, like EdwinLi said, FF3 had Warriors of both Light and Dark to help keep the balance. The Warriors of Light protected the World of Light from Darkness, while the Warriors of Darkness protected the World of Darkness from Light.
Final Fantasy Dimensions lets you play as both in episodes, each unlock jobs the other couldn't get.

I really hope that XIV doesn't go the cliche route of Darkness = evil and that the Ascians aren't just flat villains. :B

And that is why I don't get this appeal to be a "dark" warrior. It's just the same overarching goal with a different paint job.

It's like some people prefer chips to mash

[Hau]

I don't want to be a warrior of darkness , I'm just saying light and dark are just there doing their thing. It's gods and man that make a big deal out of it.

I guess I would actually prefer to be a WoD XD. I'm a night person for sure so it fits me better

[Illya]

Please look forward to Mass Effect: Heavensward

Also Gaius was right, we should have joined the Empire

[saber_alter]

meh. back to striving to find a balance between light and dark.

[Averax]

That position has been filled by <insert unnamed character here>

To be honest, its seems to me that the Ascians have been doing a bang up job of championing the Darkness and they seem far from interested in balance considering the talk about being consumed by the Darkness. More to the point, we must have been doing remarkably well considering anyone thinks we are disrupting the Balance considering by the last information we had the Mothercrystal has been getting progressively weaker.

Like I said. As if the Ascians have any baring on what is Balance. And they need a Warrior of Darkness? We barely managed to kill one of them. XD Its hard to come up with that much Aether to slice another in two.
