#FFXIV Warrior of Light

[ungrateful-cyborg-moved]

I've seen very different approaches towards the MSQ from WoLs of all kinds out there, so I'm curious.

(As for all polls, reblog for bigger sample size please)

What did your Warrior of Light have to give up?

Slight Shadowbringer spoilers below 'Read More', but-

You know, at one point I want to make an FFXIV-alt for story purposes. The tallest character I can make. They join the Scions and go through the story. They fight primals, get accused of horrible crimes, faces assassination attempts and more. They lose people. They win some. They celebrate the victories they get. They keep fighting for their friends and the world(s).

Then, at some point in Shadowbringers the topic of age comes up given the time differences between-

-the Source and the First, and WoL casually comments: "Oh, I thought you two were younger than me," to Alisaie and Alphinaud.

"What do you mean?" One of the adults ask, at first confused, but with the slow realization none of them had ever actually asked how old WoL is before. And why would they? They always assumed WoL was an adult with how tall they were, rivaling even Urianger and Estinien. More than old enough to join organizations and armies to fight for the future of their world(s) at any rate.

"Well, everyone always treated Alphinaud and Alisaie as the youngest, so I guess I just assumed that was the case as well. Turns out they're older than me though."

Let WoL's adult friends' horror grow as they realize WoL is a child as well, just like Alisaie and Alphinaud. Let them flinch in horror as they realize they, the Scions, were the ones who essentially made WoL a child soldier. They never asked how old WoL were.

Like many tall people, WoL was assumed to be older than they were simply because of how tall they are.

Let the Scions like Urianger, Thancred and Y'shtola realize they - albeit unknowingly - put WoL through a similar if not the same situation as the past Minfillia(s) went through. That WoL has more in common with Ryne than they expected or like.

And as the story goes on they try so damn hard to lessen the burden for WoL. No 16-18y old should be made to go through what WoL has gone through. Let the Scions cry and rage as they realize they're powerless to change WoL's fate - because they CARE, damn it! WoL is part of their family! And if nothing else they are currently the adults who spend the most time WoL's life. (And isn't that a horrifying thought for them to realize?) .

.

"How old were you when we asked you to join the Scions?"

"Oh, 16. It's the legal age to become an adventurer, and I left for (city) the day after my birthday," WoL happily replies, sounding a bit nostalgic. "Feels like ages ago, doesn't it?"

.

At the end of the day WoL is still the one who is forced to shoulder the burden of saving the worlds from destruction. No one else is strong enough.

Let the WoL not really understand why their adult friends are looking at WoL in aghast horror and grief at the revelation.

"What's wrong?" WoL asks, as if their adult friends' world haven't just been flipped on its' end.

Everything is wrong... And they're powerless to change it.

another solus outfit, this one suggested by @/opteekaal! he had this top as a glam before, but it wasn't the titty out version (which is obviously superior LOL)

after this outfit and the last one i'm no longer threatened by ffxiv's outfit details lmao. but i am going to pick a simpler one next time. maybe.
