[Lore Discussion] Heroes of the First

[EdwinLi]

I'm very sorry but I think it might be implied that they're dead because their soul crystals got used up. They killed their original bodies on the First so they could travel Ascian-style to the Source. The soul crystals were basically drained in that trip. Their last request was for Minfilia to bring them home so they could die on their own world.

The Job Role Quest is said to bring Arbert and his companions back alive.

As for how, it can be easily implied their souls have been reincarnated since by the First timeline, Arbert and his companions caused the Flood of Light 100 years ago but enough time has passed since their return to be fully reborn into a new body.

"The Heroes of the First have previously appeared in the main scenario. The Shadowbringers expansion will tell the story of their return to the First after the events of Patch 3.4. These stories will be told through new Role Quests that include battles."
