I want to be a Warrior of Darkness! D:

[codofwisdom]

I have thought of how interesting it would be for a FF game where you play as the Warriors of Darkness. As you say, there needs to be balance. What would a world overcome by light be? Would it persecute anyone who made a single sin? Would the world become grey, and dull?

But currently, Eorzea is not such a place. Darkness is running pretty freakin' rampant. We kind of need every warrior of light we can get.

Eventually, there might be a FF game where darkness needs to right the balance. But it is not this game.

You have to farm 1 mil tendies to unlock Warrior of Darkness.

Also Gaius was right, we should have joined the Empire

Hitler did nothing wrong.

I brought this up last time this topic came about, but I feel it bears repeating:
Can anyone tell me exactly what a Warrior of Darkness does, and how it'd function any different from a Warrior of Light?

if the Light becomes too strong it will seek to consume the world.

Why does no game ever explain why this is a problem?

Oh no! Order, unity, happiness, peace and love have consumed the world! We are doomed by paradise!

The only one that did that was Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Where order also equaled stagnation, constraint and turning every living thing into stone.

FF3 Concept. When the force of light becomes too bright, a mirror of the Cloud of Darkness, known as the Flood of Light shows up - and it's just as bad as Cloud of Darkness, seeking to lay claim to all souls.

That said, I don't expect FFXIV to follow this concept to the letter. Warriors of Darkness is likely an antagonist concept in this game, so no, players who are crying they want to be a Warrior of Darkness will have that wish go unfulfilled, cause they're asking to be the badguy - something SE won't do.

Did you guys notice that the limit break 3 is the same as the dark knight move from Tactics. Shadowblade/night blade/Sanguine Sword

You don't understand how happy this makes me. Ever since 1.0, all I wanted was Dark Knight. Specifically the original FFT style of Dark Knight. My life is complete lol.

Whether by unyielding light or eternal darkness, a man is rendered blind.

Good people can be brought to the position of disobedience, just as evil can take root in power. Morality does not know an "element", nor does those what persue right action.

Now, how would that work?
If the light has my soul, did I die? Am I in pain? Are we all frozen by endless energy? What has become of this?
And for that matter what would darkness do? Because I sort of always assumed it just turned people greedy and spiteful enough to desire harm to everyone else. Leading to all life bringing war and destruction unto itself until its end.
