Thread: 3.1 MSQ Reaction [SPOILERS]

I doubt yda is garlean mainly because she didn't have her face covered around the refugees, which would very unlikely let a garlean help them if they knew about it.

3.1 referenced a lot of the other games, but in particular FFV with Krile, FFIII with the Warriors of Darkness, and FF1 with the Crystal Eye. And one biiiiiig theme in all three of those games was people who saved the world being forgotten.

In FF1 it happens when you defeat Chaos' time loop paradox and create an alternate reality where you never existed. In FFIII it happens when the Dark Warriors defeat the Light in a Pyrrhic victory and are forgotten by the main society on the floating continent. In FFV it happens TWICE, once when the legendary twelve defeat Enuo, and again when the Dawn Warriors return to their own world after defeating Exdeath.

So in FFXIV, we have the original Warriors of Light, whose names and faces have been forgotten after the Calamity and Louisoux's time nonsense, only to be replaced by the new Warriors of Light.

FFIII, which is the only one that directly names the previous heroes as "Dark Warriors," they saved the world from being consumed by Light, after a technologically advanced civilization harnessed too much of it.

Well, Light in FFXIV would functionally be aether. And what have we been doing? Killing Primals left and right, releasing their aether. Turning on Allagan machines that process and/or collect aether. Releasing enormous amounts of aether to kill Ascians and/or dragons. Not to menion Garlemald and all their shenanigans.

What if all the good we're doing is creating an imbalance of Light, and the Warriors of Darkness--the forgotten heroes of the past--are here to set things straight?

Thanks Fenral, I do have some other thoughts so I will post there!
