Â I've had my character time-warped at the time of the Calamity to the present day. Â There's been no explanation of this. Â She was presumed dead along with thousands of others. Â My character isn't a Warrior of Light as there can be only one but I feel like Louisoix's power could have unintended consequences. Â I've heard that this is actually the case from spoilers but I'm only concerned in the time-travel.
She is of two minds about her experience: either she "skipped" the last five years somehow, or she cannot remember them and no one else seems to remember her existing during those years. Â Eorzea is a big place though, so she's leaning towards the notion that her own memory is bad and she just hasn't met anyone who knew her. So I could go either way with regards to time travel.
Of course, having her jump forward in time tends to lead credence to the idea that she is somehow special or chosen. Â But I think it's more likely that it was just random, like lightning. Â I certainly don't play her as though she were chosen or special. Â Until the Calamity, she just wanted to have a family and a garden.
The one True case of Time-warp from that is if a legacy char comes over from 1.0 to 2.0. I think even the cutscenes reflect that, as well as the slow "Remembering" everyone gets through the MSQ as it hits them that Hey! You're the Warrior of Light! You did That Thing!
Which shows it's possible, but also ascribes to Squeenix's habit of "Chosen One" storytelling.
Aether messes things up though. There's no real reason you couldn't wake up in the middle of Cartineu 5 years later and have no idea what just happened. Â There could be a LOT of reasons, from Time Shenanigans, to Void Portals, to Dues Ex Realm Rebornia at Cartineau.
It's not bending much to do such, as long as you weave the reason into the char and use it to give drive to some action.
