Who they are
The Warrior of Light represents the earliest Final Fantasy pattern: a party acts when elemental balance fails. The role is archetypal by design, not the same person as XIV's Warrior of Light.
Their story belongs to Crystals and the classic worlds. The original anthology pattern: different worlds repeatedly asked to restore balance without sharing one timeline.
