Dont you feel something's lacking?

So, we stopped the Garleans from conquering all of Eorzea with Ultima Weapon
We ended a thousand year old conflict between dragons and Ishgardians
We liberated two whole countries

The question is, where is our fan club?

Sure our usual quest givers knows us and are pretty much buddy-buddy with us, but what about the masses?

Where are the children playing "Im the warrior of light, and you are the black wolf!"?

Where are the fan boys/fan girls that swoon while screaming "Warrior of light-sama!"?

Considering how much of a big deal we have become, youd expect someone would have asked for our autograph by now.

Humility.

Probably has some iota to do with how much lore time has passed. All of ARR took place in under a year (due to a similar question being asked in 2014). HW hadn't been released yet. No idea what the time span is now.

I want to say I've gotten the impression that it's mostly the Companies, the Alliance and adventurers that know of us. What happened in the Coils, for instance, is a do-not-speak-of-the-events-that-have-taken-place-here. The fight with Ultima Weapon, I'd gather, would be similar (it's not like IRL we know what our soldiers do out on the field in war, except what is told to us... and this is a modern setting).

I honestly think it's mostly people don't know a face to match the title. Everyone seems to have heard of the Warrior of Light (at least from primal slaying), but when you look at the dialogue, people tend to be surprised that you're the Warrior of Light.

Adoring Fan from Oblivion hairstyle for Lalafells when?!

It's probably for the better that the general public doesn't seem to know we're the Warrior of Light.

It would draw a lot of attention both good and bad.

How would the potential fans recognise us?
Remember that there is no photography nor any TV in Eorzea.
Even if there are fans of the Warrior of Light, most of them will never have seen any kind of picture of the WoL. They may have heard descriptions, but those will often be somewhat exaggerated.

In short - people in general will not know that you are the WoL unless they are told.

I just want people to stop asking me to their mundane chores. Honestly I'm hardcore relating to Mr. Incredible at this point.

[FelixDaCat]

Thumbs up just because of the meme!

[BillyKaplan]

People knowing us, and people knowing OF us are two different things. The example of children playing at being the WoL vs. the Black Wolf is a good one, and I really wouldn't mind seeing some lines like that thrown around. It's nice when characters we interacted with in the past appear again and reference it, but a lot more people should at least be talking about us, even if only by title and not name (mandatory cliche "hey you have the same name as the WoL but you can't possibly be them because of this arbitrary funny reason")

You're an adventurer, running mundane chores for gil and spoils is part of the job description. Now if they can please stop having people who KNOW we're the WoL do it, and insult us further by lampshading it, that'll be sweet.
But it's still funny. Imagine you commission the adventurer guild for something and you get the WoL to run it. It's like the story about Bill Murray eating some guy's fries and telling him that no one'd ever believe him.

That's what I meant; I'm not sure if it's just me but it feels like it's becoming a more common occurrence lately - "I realize such a task is beneath someone of your stature, but would you mind doing this task that is beneath someone of your stature?"

[Derio]

Should be a side quest in the next expansion where you meet your fan club.
