First Playthrough - Final Fantasy 14 journey to 100% - Day 2
1Five years after the Battle of Carteneau, the Warrior of Light, destined to be the champion of the Mother Crystal Hydaelyn and received her Blessing of Light, arrives in one of the three city states of Gridania, Ul’dah or Limsa Lominsa. After performing heroic deeds locally, the Warrior gets noticed by one of the members of an organization called The Scions of the Seventh Dawn – a third party apolitical organization made up mostly of Louisoix’s disciples aimed at stopping the Primals and creating peace. The Scions invite the Warrior in to the organization and explain that they have the gift of the Echo. An ability that allows the Warrior to see and even in some cases interact with the past and to know the hearts of others. It also renders them immune to the brainwashing enslavement that Primals use called ‘Tempering’. Because of this gift, the Scions send you to help track down and ultimately defeat the Primal Ifrit.
Defeating Ifrit gains you to notoriety and fame across the Grand Companies who court you for membership. It also arouses the attention of the Ascians who view you as a threat to their unknown plans. There is also news that the Garlean Empire has returned under the banner of Gaius Van Baelsar in an attempt to conquer Eorzea. As you continue your quest with the Scions, you learn of the nature of the Primals: that they are summoned by the prayers and sacrifice of crystals by their followers – usually beast tribes – to aid them against, more often than not, the Grand Companies. The kobolds are threatened by Limsa Lominsa’s intrusions into their territory so they summon Titan, requiring you to beseech aid from the Company of Heroes that once felled Titan long before.
Next, the Ixal summon Garuda but before even having the chance to investigate the Garlean Empire re-emerges to assault the Scions of the Seventh Dawn at their own headquarters and injures, kills, or captures the majority of its members. Forced to choose between stopping a Primal or helping your friends, the Warrior of Light pursues Garuda. In need a mode of transportation to breach the Howling Gale where Garuda dwells, the Warrior and Louisoix’s grand-son Alphinaud reunite with Cid Garlond, a Garlean that joined the Eorzean Allied Forces during the war with his homeland but went into hiding after his airship – the Enterprise – crashed in the frozen wastes of Coerthas.
In the process of searching for the airship, the Warrior of Light inadvertently gets involved in the complicated and fanatical theocratic politics of the northern nation of Ishgard and earns the loyalty & friendship of House Fortemps in the process. You find and repair the airship and do battle with the vicious Garuda but find that victory is short lived as the Garleans arrive headed by Gaius who mocks Garuda and her Ixal followers, as well as the other beast tribes (many of which are hostages of the Ixal to force them to worship their ‘god’). What results is the kobolds and the amal’jaa summoning their primals as well, and Garuda, Titan and Ifrit all assaulting the Garleans. Which is exactly what Gaius wants as he unleashes their newest discovery: an ancient Allagan machina known as ‘The Ultima Weapon’. The Ultima Weapon swiftly kills and absorbs all three Primals, fueling the machine to full power. Gaius departs with what he came for – a fully charged super weapon to conquer Eorzea with.
