FFT's end can be summed pretty much from this post in GameFaqs from a user named philsov:

the ending?

After Ramza and Co defeat Altima, they are either outright killed or deus ex machina'd back to the real world and never heard from again. They are officially thought dead, and while it would make MUCH more thematic sense to have them fittingly die, it's a final fantasy and heaven forbid this game is a full blown tragedy.

Delita succeeds in unifying the land and becoming king.

Olan writes about everything Ramza did, but the Church didn't like it so they killed Olan via live burning at the stake.

Ovelia, being queen, eventually comes to the realization of how much of a manipulative and backstabbing ass Delita was, feels betrayed, and lashes out against him. Delita kills her in retaliation. (Delita survives the attack)

Delita, having just killed the only person he truly cared about, is wrought with grief and wonders "Ramza, what did you get?" Ramza of course was not a manipulative and backstabbing ass, so it's an overarching question of "Do the ends really justify the means?"

In short, history remembers Delita as the hero, Ramza died in obscurity, the Church is still corrupt as ever (though the infected Shrine Knights and Co are gone), and a small portion of the side characters sadly die. You did everything, saved the world from demonic resurrection and takeover, and get zero credit.

The end.


Does this mean in the world of FF14, people know the whole thing as bolded above or do they know they only know what the church allowed to be known (Delita good, Ramza bad)?

Should be interesting which version of the war of the lions made it in the final cut, so to say.
