Obviously the GC leaders have some idea since it happened to them, but there are very specific reasons for Kan-E confiding this; the player character being touched by the Mother Crystal, and then doing some stuff important enough to be made an envoy between cities. It's certainly not something I've seen any other NPC hinting at any knowledge of, and I've been looking for all the NPC dialogue I can.(06-15-2013, 08:43 PM)ArmachiA Wrote: Currently my guild has it set up where they think the people who were sent forward in time are dead or they MIGHT have been sent forward in time but they just can't remember if they were or not. We're assuming that the memory of what happened that day is hazy, but no other memories were changed.
A friend of mine's entire character is based off of her being at the battle but not being sent forward for whatever reason, she says she's just making it so her character's memory of what happened to everyone there is fuzzy and she can't confirm whether or not her friends are dead or one of the Warriors of Light.
That's really the only change we've had to make so far, but it could change more as the story reveals itself.
I had the impression that people assume that those who were "lost to us" died and were named Warriors of Light for that reason/their sacrifice. But then there's the whole fuzzy memory thing, so based on what they're currently giving us, I think that's a great way to RP it.
That said, the only way I can think of for someone to have been at the battle but survived without being thrown forward is for them to have fled and gotten out of range of both Louisoix's spell and Bahamut's attack. That's more or less what happened with Gaius Van Baelsar, I think, though he didn't flee so much as leave since he knew there was no point staying.

I'm still wondering how the hell do they have FMS when a giant dragon razed the lands dust. That's not something you can forget!That wasn't forgotten. The only, only thing that was forgotten was the identities of those who were sent forward.
