Insane Theory: Are YOU a Primal?

[Levy9]

Now you got me needing to research, because I thought we were one of the guys who was teleported (from the ARR intro).

The people teleported away from Bahamut in the ARR intro are the Warrior of Darkness and his crew.

Well, even that is extremely ambiguous, especially as Derplander and his friends have long been used as player stand-ins during trailers, dating waaay back to before even 1.0 was released (have a watch of the Dragonsong music video and you'll see what I mean).

We really don't know much about the Warriors of Darkness other than they do resemble evil clones of Derplander and his friends so until more is revealed about their true origins, I'm going to take it with a grain of salt.

That's a fair point. I think that Derplander and crew were originally intended to be stand-ins for player characters but it's possible that they've been reinterpreted to be canon characters instead of stand-ins. The reason I say that is because of the echo wherein the Warrior of Light sees into the past of the Warrior of Darkness during their first encounter. In the past the WoD and crew appear exactly as they appear in the trailers. They have the exact same color palette from the trailers and they're attempting to kill an Ascian. So it appears to me that they are the characters from the trailer who used to be fighting against the Ascians before being changed somehow or convinced to work for them.
