History FinalFantasyXIV / TropesSToU

** Invoked in a now removed quest "A Ladle in the Darkness" and "All upon the Watchtowers", the Warrior of Light takes on the task of obtaining basilisk meat and making stew to distribute to the soldiers encamped outside of Castrum Merdianum. This is done in the same vein as the famed Gridanian general Vainchelon, who showed how he was a FatherToHisMen by cooking their meals and sharing it with them. The Warrior's decision to do the same lifts the spirits of the scared and downtrodden soldiers in the Eorzean Alliance and strengthens their feelings of camaraderie.

** The Garlean people are taught by their government to hate all other races as "savages" for pushing them out of their ancestral homeland in modern day Corvos and for not being as technologically advanced as them. Overcoming this prejudice is a major challenge in ''Endwalker'' when [[spoiler:the Ilsabardian Contingent brings humanitarian aid to the ruined Garlemald]]. Thankfully, not all Garleans buy into this bigotry, with some children like Volusus not showing any signs of it.

* TheSlowWalk: The Warrior of Light does this during the "''The End of the Song''" quest in truly awesome fashion. [[spoiler:The forces of Ishgard are pressed to the brink against Nidhogg's armies, on the verge of collapse...until the [=WoL=], Ser Aymeric, and Alphinaud [[BigDamnHeroes fly in on the backs of Hraesvelgr and his allies]]. The [=WoL=] leaps down and starts a slow walk towards Nidhogg as the rest of the Ishgardian force retreats.]]

* UnconventionalWeddingDress: The game allows players to dress for their wedding however they like. While the game offers a wedding dress to female players (which, if paying for the wedding, can be dyed in any color), it is possible to marry naked, in full armor or in a GoofySuit.

*** You start off having a dream sequence of you facing down Lahabrea in the signature equipment of your starting class's Job. You then wake up on the way to your starting city alongside Alphinaud, Alisae, and Brendt the Peddler.

** In "[[WhamEpisode The Parting Glass]]" and [[DarkestHour its immediate aftermath]], the culprit's plot goes off more or less without a hitch. [[spoiler:The Sultana is dead, as is Lord Lolorito's peer/rival Teledji Adeledji, Raubahn is in prison awaiting execution for [[PayEvilUntoEvil murdering Teledji]], and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn have been broken and branded as regicides]]. Afterwards, however, the culprit runs into the problem of trying to run a FrameUp on someone beloved like the Warrior of Light. Most of the public only knows rumors about what happened, and almost nobody believes the accusations against the Warrior, so the FalseFlagOperation fails. The few people that believe that the Warrior is guilty decide they'd rather just turn a blind eye, mostly because the Warrior has a reputation as a OneManArmy, so any attempt to arrest them would basically rely on the Warrior feeling charitable enough to come quietly. The other leaders of the Eorzean Alliance further made it clear to the Ul'dahn Syndicate that they are not to go public with the charges against the Warrior until they can present concrete evidence, [[{{Realpolitik}} ostensibly because of the unrest that would occur]] if the realm's most beloved hero were accused of something like what the culprit intended. Then ''Heavensward'' comes around, and reveals that things [[SpannerInTheWorks didn't go so smoothly after all]]. [[spoiler:Very little of what happened at the Bloody Banquet was intended by Lolorito. Teledji Adeledji may have wanted to overthrow the Sultanate and install himself and his fellow Monetarists as the rulers of Ul'dah, but Lolorito recognized that he was already running the show in all but name. He stood to lose far too much and gain too little by going along with Teledji's plan. As such, Lolorito had the poison intended for Sultana Nanamo [[FakingTheDead replaced with a sleeping potion]], and had intended to use his [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem influence]] to publicly acquit the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, including the Warrior of Light, of all charges. But the Scions' refusal to stand down and be brought in by guards -- who, for all they knew, intended to simply execute them all on the spot -- [[PoorCommunicationKills spoiled that part of the plan]]. Plus, Raubahn [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe literally sliced Teledji Adeleji in half]] right in front of Lolorito, and it would be all but impossible for Lolorito to ignore this blantant act of murder without giving away his position, forcing him to call for Raubahn and the Scions' arrest immediately.]]
