It's strange looking because the plot hooks are bad writing.
Again, the events of 2.55 require that the WoL be the dumbest person on Eorzea, to the point where the only reason they would have survived everything was through sheer dumb luck.
That may sound awesome to some of you, but to me it's just a level of disbelief suspension I cannot attain.
In general, I am always surprised when players cannot suspend their disbelief regarding a character's stupidity. I find it harder to believe in characters that behave intelligently.
In the specific, the Warrior of Light is a character who has slaughtered half of Eastern La Noscea to get the ingredients for a feast in his own honor and never questioned why, spent about five levels and interminable hours of the players' life not realizing that the Inquisitor from Ishgard (whose name escapes me) does not have his best interests at heart when denying him access to Stone Vigil, hired a Mamool Ja sex offender to teach dancing lessons to Costa del Sol girls (among other absurd acts of letter delivery), and enabled the shared delusion of Hildibrand's competence.
Your conception of your own character as the Warrior of Light may be of one more competent, but from the things he does? He's a goddamn moron, and that's been established since Level One. The groundwork was already laid.
