...buuuut that's tricky even in XIV, since PVP is tied directly to adventuring companies established with the Grand Companies. So if you were good at, say, Wolves' Den, it would also mean you're a ranking officer/soldier of some degree in your city-state. As far as the lore is concerned (I think!) the only way into the war games is through the Companies.

First, thank you for your reply, as it shed some light on the situation which ultimately led to me seeing and understanding exactly what I was proposing in my OP. It had really skipped my mind that things like: slaying Bahamut Prime, quelling the Illuminati threat within Alexander, and other related content...Is all handled by the WoL canonically.Â

In my opinion, I think there is some leeway in terms of Primals, certain dungeons(which don't house major lore characters) and the like, since those beasts are able to be killed over and over. ( Hell, the story of extreme mode primals is just that. The worshipers simply re summoned the primal. )

Second, the arena PVP game modes are not tied to grand company. You are simply given a team (Fangs or Claws), which alternates each game.

Soooort of. In the case of Primals that have the power to Temper/Drown/Whatever it is strongly implied you're not walking out of the fight if you're not empowered through some means similar to the Warrior of Light: It doesn't have to be the main character but you have to be otherwise-blessed to not die during the encounter.

PVP is a weird space. We know the Warrior of Light is recruited into it specifically because of his rank with a Grand Company, but is that everyone? Well, maybe? Again, it's implied: You unlock these modes through Grand Company NPCs looking for a few good men to go out and do battle, and the Frontlines lore is a war-game to keep Carteneau occupied so no one goes digging for Omega.

Buuuuut a lot of this is being inferred. The lore book will hopefully shed a lot of light into this, but that's still months out.
