Quote:Bayhone: Has there been a slow and controlled revival regarding the use of white magic, in the training of adventurers of white magic, or is 'The Player Character' the one and only White Mage trained outside of the Padjal?
Fernewhales: Actually, this is a really good question as it ties into the Warrior of Light theme as well, cause you think there are 2.5 million Warriors of Light out there. This is one of those story things that you kind of have to look past. If everyone was the warrior of light then no one gets to have that sense of being the hero. So even though you're playing with all of these people who think they're the Warrior of Light, only you are the Warrior of Light. I meant you. No I meant you. But there is only one, there is only supposed to be one. It's the same thing here as well, though there are a lot of White Mages out there, story wise, it's supposed to be you, you're the one that was chosen to do this. You're the one that's getting this training from the Padjal What I was told to say by [name I didn't catch] is that there are also other ways of getting white magic as well. They did the revival right, because it's the fallen city of Amdapor, and they had their White Mages and they're reviving that Magic, there are other groups trying to revive their White Magic using more nefarious means and that these people might show up in a future patch
Ok this is pretty much a word for word transcript of the response given by Ferne at the Las Vegas Fan Fest Lore panel (I took out the asides and uhms and ahs.). I will be pulling answers from this.
Quote:though there are a lot of White Mages out there, story wise, it's supposed to be you, you're the one that was chosen to do this. You're the one that's getting this training from the PadjalOnly the One player character is supposed to be A Non-Padjal White Mage. Only they were chosen to receive their training from them. They have taught no one else.
Quote:They did the revival right, because it's the fallen city of Amdapor, and they had their White Mages and they're reviving that MagicThey in this instances references the question asked, which was about the Padjal, so the revival is seemingly the One Player Character (see the point above.)
Quote:there are other groups trying to revive their White Magic using more nefarious means and that these people might show up in a future patchOther than Amdapoor, or the Padjal, there are indeed other groups trying to get White Magic, whether for themselves, or to simply cause chaos for the realm, we don't know, but the ways of getting it are nefarious.
So essentially, unless you found a Soul Stone in Amdapoor, or you have used nefarious means, it is outside of the lore. Note however, that outside of the lore does not mean Don't do this, or you can't do this, it does mean that there is no official cannon to support it. It becomes Grey Area that could very well have to be retconned by future reveals.
