Ooh, Sounsyy raises good points worth echoing here. Warren also came to exist during 1.0, and as a no-roots wandering type he was a bit disheartened when he came to stop at Ul'dah. The world was already gone to hell in a handbasket even then, and his early characteristics were a lot more "keep to yourself, work for your meals" sort of blue-collaredness. One of the things I miss the most going into ARR was how the miner's guild changed. Now it seems... clean. Organized. Legitimate. 1.0's seemed a lot more like what you think of when you think coal miners nowadays: Dirty, grungy. They had a "bar" there with "dancers" and the place was obviously also a whorehouse.
Warren's initial arc to picking up a weapon in earnest were defined by wanting to protect people from that dirty world, even if he himself felt he was going to live and die in it.
