Warrior of Darkness: alter ego or something completely different?

[Neophyte]

I believe the right example about purpose of our character being in the dark side or the light side is clearly exposed in the Dark Knight quest line. For those, like myself, who are lvling up a DRK, you know what I mean. I keep believing that the derplander and his party are representing us, the players of FF14. And my way to see the trailer about them is, from my point of view, a way to show us that it won't be the derplander and co who will do all of this : it's going to be us... And even if it isnt us directly, it will be a dark doppleganger of us who will. A set of a specific job's quest did it already at lvl 50, remember. In such trailer, they couldnt show a specific player like me or you people. That's probably why the derplander and co are in this trailer. That it's going to be us. I believe that we are going to taste a bit of our darkside... and probably change once we realise the consequences of our actions...

So if you're a lalafel WHM you'll gonna brake Ravana's shield with a Stone-spell?
And who'll attack Y'shtola, if not the Broegadyn PLD?

I consider this and this as proof, that derplander and his group are real.
To be honest THIS was proof enough for that.

I still cannot comprehend how anyone would think that this scene was just a cover-up... this is as likely as Elidibus being a lalafell in 3.1 and Niddhog getting the appearance of Hraesvelgr...
I mean, who cares what they show us in ingame-cutscenes at all ?!
