Warrior of Lights.... Storyline... (3.3 - 3.4 Spoilers.)

[Galactimus]

Something is really confusing me about the Warrior of Lights storyline. Not the character we play in the game but the actual Warrior running around with a Great Axe; and his four party members.


Timeline
~~~~~~

1.0 Final Fantasy XIV
Opening: Warrior of Light is an Archer doing Guildleves with others adventurers. Fighting a Malboro alongside his other four party members (who eventually become his static group.)




2.0 Realm Reborn
Opening: The Warrior of Light (literally a Warrior now) and his companions (a PLD Roeg, BRD Miqote, BLM Elvaan, WHM Lala) stand no chance against Bahamut and are transported by Louisoiux(sp) to the Reborned Realm of Eorzea and continue adventuring in a new era.


3.0 Heavensward
Opening: The Warrior of Light flees Uldah, becomes an Ishgardian refugee, and changes his job from Warrior to Dragoon.


3.3 - 3.4 - This is the messed up part
MSQ: The Warrior of Light, and his entire party, are added to the Main Scenario Questline of FFXIV. Now they have become Warriors of Darkness, who have arrived from a different world / dimension. You find out the five of them died trying to save their own world from being destroyed by Light.


4.0 Stormblood
Teaser Trailer: Warrior of Light is.. very much alive again.. and has now changed jobs from Warrior to Monk...


So, it was my understanding that the Warrior portrayed in all of these cinematics is the actual Warrior of Darkness we end up fighting with our own character. All four of his party members are exactly the same one's from the original 2.0 opening. However, since he's now appearing in the 4.0 trailer, I can only assume he somehow becomes a "Dues Ex Machinist" in 3.5 and brings himself back to life.


Or.. maybe he just Returned to his Home Point in Little Ala Mhigo...
