CG Midlander

Was it brought up how the concept art of the jobs on that job "wheel" are mostly characters from the Opening Cinematic/End of An Era?

A good amount of the concept art going all the way back to pre-release has featured these party members. It seems go to the other way, that the members of the CG party are based on some of the concept art stock characters. Here's the Call Me Maybe Lalafell back when the Armory System was first announced.

Was there confirmation that this advertised party was the Heroes of Light?

Technically all adventurers are the Warriors of Light from their own perspective. These party members seem to represent us, which is why we've never heard of any of them having names. They're on the same path we are, but in their own way.

But that still leaves one question—was the party an actual party, or were they merely symbols meant to represent you, the players? Well, you can breathe easy knowing they are both. They all ventured into Eorzea at the same time as you did. They all did similar quests, and lived through similar adventures. They exist as your characters exist (in a virtual world-sort of existence). The fact that you haven’t come across them is probably the same reason you haven’t come across my character, Amanda Hugginkyss (or maybe you have? /wink). They’re just somewhere else. Though, maybe you’ll stumble across their party in the future. Or maybe you won’t. How’s that for committing to an answer?
