The Relic Weapons and justifying why the Jobmasters have them

[Morningstar1337]

...according to the Main Scenario Story Arc, Daybreak, The Lightbringer, Eorzea's Sword in the Darkness, Hydaelyn's Champion, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons.

...You know as much as like the first two names, I haven't really heard/read "Daybreak outsie ST (or maybe I forgot that). Also Lightbring could be taken to man soemthing much more sinister, but I digress.

unless Square Enix has a way to explain it without limiting themselves, or actively decides to limit themselves by trying to explain it, the answer may very well be, unless I've overlooked something (a scenario we should never discount), don't think too hard about it.

Okay, FYI the Lore AMA thread hasen't closed yet (How long does TGS last anyway?) SO I think I'll go ask them about it.

I haven't really heard/read "Daybreak" outside ST

It was mentioned one time, but it was the first time it was ever hinted that your deeds would cause the coming of the Seventh Astral Era.

But all is not yet lost. Sensing the gravity of the situation, our master—the Allseer—has arrived to begin his search for Daybreak—one of the valiant blades mentioned in the Divine Chronicles.

Ne'er till land consumes sun can sea bear moons,
Heavens spew crimson flame, hells seep black dooms.
Stray seeds quicken in ash's gray embrace,
Valiant blades forged under the Twelve's good grace.

Seven waning moons see seven suns rise,
Divine order roils, fallen corpses writhe.
Souls from aether far, strangers from strange lands,
Yester with thine eyes, morrow by thine hands.

Louisoix hinted at the very end of 1.23b, on his way to lead the Eorzean Alliance at the Battle of Cartenau, that you were the thing he'd come to Eorzea to find, so he knew everything will be okay - thus implying that you are "Daybreak." If you look back at the Divine Chronicles, "valiant blades forged with the Twelve's good grace" (the forces of light / good) rise amongst destruction to fight "hells black dooms ... souls from aether far, [and] strangers from strange lands" (Voidsent, Ascians / Primals, and Garleans), allthewhile seeing yester with their eyes (the Echo) and making the morrow with their hands (securing the Seventh Astral Era).

In almost every instance of people speaking of you since defeating the Ultima Weapon, you've been referred to as the "blade of light" and "bringer of the dawn" (dawn = daybreak), etc. etc. etc., which all ties back to Yoshida's New Years hint that "The Blade of Light" would meet the "Blade of Might" in A Realm Reborn, and that both blades would vie to lay the primals low. (You vs. Gaius van Baelsar and Ultima Weapon vs. The Primals).

It takes a lot of puzzling out, but it's all linked and Daybreak was the one that started it, so I always start with it when I go through the list of titles instead of just saying, "You." Lightbringer, though, that one notsomuch. That was a sword from FFXI, it just fits with the general theme and I keep throwing it in there by mistake. For what it's worth, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons probably aren't in the game, either. (Yet.)

Somehow this post triggered a sense of Deja Vu. Thought the Mother of Dragons would make for some interesting interactions in the expansion
