I'd have preferred Arbert to stick around and play the part of the Warrior of Darkness but I suppose that can't be helped now.
It does raise a few interesting questions about the impact of this calamity. Is it simply what the Warrior of Light is doing or are they're boarder factors that have led to this conclusion?

When the idea of us becoming the Warrior of darkness that was kind of the first thing that kind of came to mind to me giving Albert original plea to us to 'Forge a different path' and that 'Light and Darkness doesn't matter, it's what you do with it' speech. I was kind of thought this different path might be that we have the master the power of both Light and Darkness in order to actually resolve the problem. I still think this is a possibility because if we are being threaten by a Calamity of Light and yet we've been told that we are engaging in Garleans during Fanfest, would defeating Elibius and Solus make these matters worse? I’d bet there is definitely more to all of this then what our initial impressions from Fanfest and the 4.5 trailer suggest.
