sorry to burst your bubble.. but have you REALLY thought this through?

lets say we do your little trick of just preventing the wipe and everything from happening.

where is the justification for your existence? there is none. at all. the ancients would fix their issue, or not, but it is highly improbable at that point that a "warrior of light" would ever be created or needed.

I can see it now... partway through endwalker, SE Yoshi and the team, put up a screen saying.. "thanks for playing Final Fantasy 14, but the world you were in and helped created is gone. have a great day, see you in the future..."
