Storyline Spoiler: So I just beat the game...where are ...

[Phelios]

Where are the main characters from 1.0. You know the original heroes of light? I was looking forward to meeting them and stuff and the cinematic pretty much show that they got teleported into the future by the old man with the beard.

So where are they? I had to say, the entire time I was able to enjoy the story UP until the final dungeon when I was told "You are not allow to watch the cut scene, skip it." so I am not sure what happen except that I came out and no orignal heroes was there.

What happened? Where are they?

[Ryel]

They are the players from 1.0

[Alwryn]

I'm right here.



Seriously though, as Ryel said the warriors of light are the legacy players.

[Nullie]

I'm right here.

You're only alive cause of me. You know that don't ya? /nudge

The one time I decide to post on the forums, THE ONE TIME, and poof! Ish!

Can't it be a team effort? No? Then I redirect all praise to ish, lest I stop receiving heals.

You know it is! No way I could take that death sentence ever.

Still doesn't change the fact that you're alive cause of me.

Exactly, were are those guys? Are they NPCs or just vague representation of 1.0 players? All this time I keep on thinking I was a replacement hero waiting for the real guys to show up...but that's it? It stops with me?

Welcome to 2.x.

Wait, so the CGI character that look like main characters are not really characters? Then who the old man that die? Just another representation of players? I thought those guys were like Aldo/Alto from FF11. You know the boy who survivied became an adventurer and afterward a ninja or something.

The adventurer party in the CG cutscenes is SE's representation of the players/adventurers. You can't actually meet them in game.

The old man (Elezen, actually) that died was Louisoix. He was a major NPC in FFXIV 1.0, and the leader of the circle of knowing before Minfilia took over. The broken staff on the wall above Minfilia's seat was his.
