The Warrior of Darkness [SPOILER]

[EdwinLi]

you may be on to something.

Ya at this point this may not be far from the truth.

I won't be surprised if they decide to have the WoL die at the end of 3.X era or during 3.X era MSQ but then have the WoL return a few years later in Eorzea time frame after his or her death during the 3.X MSQ since the WoL is need once more but that just a hypothesis I have if it is true that the WoL has been draining Hydaelyn's Aether due to her constantly giving the WoL more of her own power to fight the "darkness".

[Gaiussenpai]

I wonder if the Ascians saying Hydaelyn is a parasite and she is now encroaching on the realm of gods means we might have to put her in balance since there is too much light now.

[Lemuria]

There's something, it might be a separate fight for everybody and not a group trial. Because I'm sure he won't take the appearance of 8 guys.

They could be sneaky about it, so each player only see's their version of the warrior. They could otherwise have the same skills and spells, so gameplay wise no one would be any the wiser.

[Sapphic]

he's absolutely terrified. no human should have that power.

My character isn't human....

he's absolutely terrified. no mortal should have that power.

Fixed :P

Who's to say the WoD is an NPC? How hard would it really be to become a WoD? About as hard as it was to turn into an Au Ra.

[FinalWolf]

When you...

Kill the King Thordan and he becomes the Archbishop again, he looks at you scared and your face is covered by shadows, asking what or you are you. I was wondering what's deal with him...

I did have a theory we might be zodiark or a reincarnation of him

Assuming FFXIV is following FFIII's concept of dark and light (and Elidibus' reference to equilibrium suggests they are) the warriors of darkness are born of a separate crystal of darkness. You do not choose the light or dark, and they do not represent good or evil. The warriors of darkness are essentially our equivalent fighting on the other side of the balance. It would be impossible for players to ever switch to being warriors of darkness because we are born of light, not darkness. It's simply an impossibility within the entire concept of the duality.

Unless SE pulls something like the WoL dies near the end of 3.X era and loses all his Light due to his or her death. At that point the WoL may be given a choice to return as a WoL once again or as a WoD.

Assuming SE may give players a Choice to start a new character in 2.0 era or 4.0 era in 4.0 release.

After all once a WoL dies..
SPOILER!

All the light is released from the WoL just like what happened to Ysayle

Pretty sure they said the Warrior of Light is the one nearing the realm of gods

Yep the WoL is become very power to the point people may start thinking he is a God or Goddess.

This aspect is shown quite nicely in the DRK Job storyline where you go back to meet old NPCs and some new ones by showing how each one views the WoL.

This also does make me worried as well because ya the WoL is all powerful but how long before someone decides to show the world the WoL is not a God among Eorzea but just a person that can be killed.

After all the entriety of Eorzea completely depends on the WoL as of now when it comes to Wordly threats like Primals and the Garlean Empire.

Their entire Hope depends on the WoL being alive and if the WoL dies most people would probably give up and let the world burn.

Just how much long will the WoL be allowed to continue until the world is forced to realise that the WoL even has a limit as well?

I'm guess in 3.X.....
