It's more likely that the spell made people forget about their individual features. They know the Warriors existed, but can't tell anything specific about them.
We'll have to wait until we play through the storyline to know all the details, I guess.
During my play through on one of the beta weekends.. The one where they introduced the duty finder, I believe.. I was doing the primary chain through Ul'dah, and just before you're sent off to the other capitals, whatshisface - Big black dude - tells you the story of the Warriors of Light.
I'm almost postive he says exactly what Ildur said.. That all they remember about the Warriors of Light is that they existed. They can't remember the face, or name, or anything about them.. Just that they were alive, and they saved Eorzea.Â
He described it as looking up at a hilltop, and seeing a silhouetted figure.
Personally, I think this leaves ARR open to interpretation. We can read that as saying WE are the Warriors of Light returned, or we can read that as saying SE will eventually bring in some NPC's who are the 'official' Warriors of Light.
