Of the two, I preferred him as the latter. Later he was represented in promotional material as a Samurai, one of the new jobs introduced in Stormblood. However, WoL didn’t stay a monk for long. This time as another fast-paced damage dealer, Monk. When Stormblood was announced, we saw that WoL’s job had changed once again. The second expansion, Stormblood, brought a very eastern feel to Final Fantasy XIV Online. Apart from the Warrior armour in 2.0, this Dragoon armour set is one of the coolest that WoL has ever worn. However, WoL makes Dragoon look gooood in Heavensward’s opening cutscene and has probably been the only time I ever wanted to take up the job myself. Now Dragoons have never had the best reputation on Final Fantasy XIV Online as they’ve always been referred to as “floor tanks.” While they can be powerful, some don’t last very long in battle. The threat of Nidhogg caused WoL to have a change of heart, switching from being a heavily armored Warrior to a fast-paced Dragoon. In Final Fantasy XIV’ Online’sfirst expansion Heavensward, our Warrior of Light put down his axe in exchange for a polearm. While being in love with his armor and aesthetic as a whole, I never leveled a Warrior far enough to obtain the same gear he wears in cutscenes. Which is where 2.0 came in as “ A Realm Reborn.” I liked to think of the Warrior as WoL’s default job as it’s how I’ve always seen him. Before the 1.0 servers had shutdown for good, a cinematic played show the Bahamut breaking out of the Dalamud, causing the Calamity that wiped out the realm. While WoL was represented as a ranged DPS during 1.0, he ended his time in 1.0 as a Warrior. I’m not saying that Archer’s are trash, but I’m glad that his job eventually changed. To me he’s always been a melee character in the middle of all the action, not off to the side dealing damage from afar. It was also unexpected as I’m used to seeing him being a rough and tough sort of character. As a player who started in 2.0, the WoL’s job as an Archer is a little more forgetful.
