About the question with Cid, I've never played 1.0, and only started playing recently. This is somewhat echoing what others have said already, but I'm just trying to understand this scene, because it's been confusing me too, since I started playing.

Is it possible that he's just simply remembering you from 1.0? When you start ARR, the adventure's guild person says that no one can remember the WoL, and called them such as all they can see when they try to recall them is, the shadow against the light. When he says something like "That light, that was you wasn't it?" Is he simply saying that before, he was like everyone else, in that, when he was trying to remember this important person from his past (1.0), all he could see (remember) was a blinding light. But now "that light" he's realised was you, making him the one person who remembers that the WoL was in fact, you.

I was discussing this thread/question with my husband, and I wondered if this was the case, why wouldn't he tell the others that your character was the WoL from 1.0? He replied that, if that is the case, then likely there wouldn't have been any point in telling anyone else, as they would still just see the shadow/blinding light.

Like I said, I've never played 1.0, so I'm still confusdd about several lore related things, but am I understanding this scene correctly?
