Will we meet Allagans in the first?

So each of the shards have their own unique history that is unrelated to what has happened in other places. Got it!

I guess a better question to ask is, what (speculated) similarities does our current world share with the new world? We know about the races already.

Based on that, everything that we are and have become (Warrior of Light) is meaningless in the First since, based on the trailer, our blessing of light is useless. Are we back to being nameless adventurers? Also, does this mean we are “done” with the current world with the exception of the empire? If that is the case, I am both worried and excited about starting from square one lol.

That question can be answered from our complement. Does Zodiark allow Ascians to tap his power without his consent? Keep in mind, Hydaelin/Zodiark is just the will. They may not have any clue/say on what we or the Ascians do when we tap their powers using the crystals.

what (speculated) similarities does our current world share with the new world?

Artificially it's diverse, naturally a lot of common things. Nature doesn't like taking the long route of inventing things. It will try to be efficient and do what its already know how to do. People think shard splits will split/heading to very different directions but naturally it will look like this. Norvandt is basically mini Eorzea (with added Flying), naturally look the same, but artifically named different.

The #1 thing the worlds have in common is their geography. There should be zones that have different climates and different flora and fauna but are, for all intents and purposes, the same environment as one from Eorzea, just named differently. Imagine if Earth split into 13 copies 200,000 years ago. Place names, histories, and country borders would differ but the continents would largely be the same. For example, the country we know as the USA, might be 15 different countries in one world (imagine if the borders dividing the US were drawn differently), and in that same world, what we call Europe, which is comprised of dozens of countries could just be 1 nation with many states but they all speak the same language etc.

The blessing of Light is not useless on the Source,however on the First with Light threatening to fully take over obviously fighting light with light will not work judging from the trailer. In order to bring the dark back u need to fight the light with it thus warrior of darkness. And i doubt we are done with the Source. Zenos,Elidibus,Solus and the emperor are still alive,primals are still an issue~ The only square one we are starting at is that we will probably not be known of who we are on the First. In a way you may be right we are nameless adventurers but im curious how the people of the First will react if they realise we are a warrior of light xD

The First has a prophecy about a warrior that will bring back the night, which IMO was likely seeded by E'nigma Tia to make things easier for us, but whatever. If our arrival in Lakeland is anything like the trailer(erasing a kuribu and splitting the sky), or even just emerging from the sealed Tower(which just spontaneously appeared one day), we begin the expansion as far more than just adventurers.
