Come to think of it, it doesn't make any sense for him to be there simply to give us our one time only AF gear.

I can see us gathering various materials via FATEs and hunts across Norvrandt to provide him with what he needs to upgrade our weapons, then us testing them out in some kind of instanced area for subsequent stages. Maybe.
If they're Amaurotian themed, then an 'enchanted' instance of some kind could be in the table, perhaps showing what parts of the world were like for them before the apocalypse.
