 I do like the idea though of being able to join the Scions and fight against the Primal threat, whether you're the WoL or not. It also makes fighting Primals in dungeons etc. make sense and for an adventuring char it does let you make a difference in the world and justify why you didn't just stay at home. So I guess I could just take pieces of the main plot and leave out the chosen one stuff.
Well, you can still fight Primals as a random Joe-Shcmoe! The Flames, according to lore, have fought and defeated Ifrit numerous times, actually! They just throw large numbers at him, and take casualties. He can't just temper everything, and he has to consciously do that, so they're able to beat him with overwhelming force. You can also have the Echo, which makes you immune to tempering, anyways! The Echo is not reserved solely for the warrior of light. In fact, according to the lore, a LOT of people have it. Many of the pepople who both survived and witnessed the Battle of Silvertear Skies awoke with the echo, that's when it first started appearing. From then on, many others awoke with it, including every player character in the 1.0 storyline, since that story was less about a special snowflake super hero Warrior of Light, and instead about the Warriors of light, pluralized. They were abundant (and less strong than the current superhero WoL), but not anywhere near as abundant as people with the Echo. It's still RARE, but it's not locked out of player lore. You could have it, justifiably, and thus could fight primals without being tempered.
