Of course, an RPer is free to ignore that, but the game cinematics and some missions seem to hint at that. I've also seen cinematics of certain NPCs in charge, but not directly involved in fighting. I am pretty sure those cinematics are solely for the benefit of the player (not their character) to remember/fill-in details. It is mostly for the "benefit of the viewing audience". It is unclear if the NPCs remember these events or not, possibly not, although I can see some "fuzzy memory if they should ever run into a certain masked black-clad antagonist.
Couldn't find anything about it for FF XIV though, aside from how CE owners get a Warrior of Light hat or something.
The mantra about most MMOs is that *you*, the *player* are important and "the hero" so from that perspective, it would be natural to envelope all players in this blanket that they could be a "Warrior of Light"; the FF series re-uses concepts and in different forms, so the "group of 4" could definitely expand. Also, look at the last cinematic: The Iconic people in that fight that got saved by Louisix (sp) are more than 4 and could definitely be considered "Warriors of Light". By the same nature, those Iconics should represent "us". That's just how these cinematics on these MMOs work.
