Explaining the Term "Warriors of Light"

[PapesseLudovique]

An NPC explains that they're called 'Warriors of Light', because those who try to remember the faces of the heroes from The Battle of Carteneau always see the warrior's faces shadowed by a bright light behind them. Even those who fought alongside the Warriors. Thus, the people came to call them Warriors of Light.

Every character made is a Warrior of Light, and participated in the past events (as far as the story goes). As indicated with Cid's flashback scene aboard the airship.
Players who participated in said events simply get a special tattoo, and alternate intro.

But all players' characters are the heroes from Carteneau, sent five years into the future. No one recognizes us, because of the magical "Warriors of Light" effect. Which is done simply as a plot device to make each character equal. That no player is more special or legitimate, than another.
