I want to be a Warrior of Darkness! D:

[Gramul]

the Flood of Light shows up - and it's just as bad as Cloud of Darkness, seeking to lay claim to all souls.

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.

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

I have sunglasses.

Not entirely sure, did not follow FF3 because its release was in Japan during my childhood and its remake were from handheld.

From the Final Fantasy Wiki:

Final Fantasy III


The Cloud of Darkness.
In Final Fantasy III, the Cloud of Darkness dwells in the World of Darkness and desires to use the power of the Void to reduce all existence to nothingness. The Warriors of the Dark that had been imprisoned within the Dark Crystals of the World of Darkness explain to the hero party that a delicate balance between the powers of Light and Darkness must be maintained in order to hold the Void at bay.

They go on to state that whenever an imbalance or "flood" of Light or Darkness occurs, the Cloud of Darkness appears to follow through with its plans. Whenever an imbalance occurs, four individuals are selected to become Warriors of Light or Darkness depending on the imbalance (i.e. Light Warriors against darkness, Dark Warriors against Light). To combat the Cloud of Darkness the Dark Warriors decide to aid the Light Warriors in the battle so their combined powers of Light and Darkness may overwhelm it.

So a bit of mistake in diction. Whenever the force of Light or Dark get too powerful, the Cloud of Darkness comes from the Void itself to try to claim the world for the Void.


As I said, I doubt FFXIV will follow this vein, not exactly anyways.

So basically, Darkness is just kind of an asshole.

The Anti-hero type - but still antagonist to the main story in FFXIV's context.

Light and Darkness are two forms of life and morality, dynamically opposed. The Void is the concept of a true death and nothingness.

Seems to me the void wouldn't be a problem if Darkness didn't try bringing it up any time Light had a party without him.

except its less "having a party" and more "having a party, then a drive-by happens" which can occur on both ends, like gangs do.

I just have trouble seeing the actual problem with a world of Light in the context of these games.
From the looks of it, the only problem in that seems to be the Darkness trying to ruin it.
