Echo awakenings happened en-masse in 1.0 (which we're supposed to take as like a prequal now), but not everyone used it to fight primals. The only people that get the WoL disgnation are the 1.0 players that were in the Battle of Carteneau or the players that take the MSQ as their lore. (Or at least the Echo and game-beating parts of it).http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Warri...antasy_XIV
Quote:Near completion of the main plot, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and all player characters (i.e. including those created in Realm Reborn) are referred to as Warriors of Light by the leaders of the Grand Companies. The player character is referred to as a Warrior of Light specifically by Hydaelyn.I will continue to contend that anyone with the Echo is a WoL simply by association with Hydaelyn.
Quote:The Warriors of Light are stated to be the band of Adventurers (i.e. the players) that helped protect the city-states and form the Eorzean Alliance during the events leading up to the Seventh Umbral Era. They took to the field during the Battle on the plains of Mor Dhona and were apparently lost during the unleashing of Bahamut. Their name derives from the fact that whenever people try to remember them, all they can remember is a silhouette surrounded by a blinding light.
I think that ^ is the more relevant part of what was linked; everything that came after it seemed to be from a gameplay perspective.
I can add to this.Â
I played 1.0. got to maybe lv35 on Botany. (Yes, I was /that/ guy who only leveled something to get the goobbue mount and legacy status. It made my laptop burn like fire the entire time).Â
I have the legacy tattoo, but I wasn't a Warrior of Light by the game's definition. I didn't get any special cutscenes or references to my time in the game. I wasn't able to fight in the server-dying battle. It's more of a contradiction, because I have some of the Warrior of Light things, but not all of them.
