"A Warrior of Light who suddenly appeared in the world during a time of darkness with a crystal in hand. After defeating Garland and rescuing Princess Sarah of Cornelia, he embarks on a long journey to restore light to the crystal and return peace to the world as the prophecies foretold."

Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia description
  • Crushes enemies with deft, balanced sword techniques.

A warrior highly skilled in the art of the sword. He also excels in using his shield both defensively and offensively. In the original title, after rescuing Sarah, the princess of Cornelia, from Garland, he, along with three other light warriors, departed on a journey to save the world from being completely destroyed by the forces of Chaos.

The Warrior of Light is also a playable character in Dissidia Final Fantasy (2015). He was one of the first six playable characters announced for the game on February 14th, 2015, alongside the Onion Knight, Terra Branford, Cloud Strife, Lightning, and Y'shtola Rhul.

How to unlock[]

As a hero for Cosmos, Warrior of Light is unlocked from the beginning, and also serves as your guide through tutorial.

Appearance[]

Warrior of Light's appearance is based on Amano's concept of the Warrior character in the original game. He appears as a young man who has fair skin, long, silver hair, and blue eyes. He is adorned in aqua blue armor with some yellow features complete with a khaki cape. The unique thing about the Warrior is that he has two long golden horns on his helmet facing upwards. In EX Mode, his horns point forwards, wears a golden cape and his armor is red in some features.

In EX Mode, he gains a slightly more muscular build and his hair is swept back, becoming the Knight class from the original game.
  • The Nameless Warrior - A free DLC costume can be purchased from the Playstation Network to feature WoL without his helmet, showing off his long, silvery hair also his sword appears to be cracked. His EX Mode appearance is the same as his default's EX Mode but with no helmet still.

Abilities (Dissidia)[]

The Warrior is described in the game as a Paragon. He is a well-balanced character specialized in using sword techniques to attack his opponent, and uses his shield offensively and defensively.

Trivia[]

  • His Level 100 Exclusive Weapon, the Barbarian's Sword, surpasses even the Ultima Weapon in the 20th Anniversary edition of Final Fantasy.
  • Unlike Onion Knight and Bartz, whose design is a fusion of their sprite with the Amano art from them, Warrior of Light is fully based on Amano's vision of him, while his alternative form is just a palette swap to fit the alternate art from the warrior himself.
  • Though its most likely coincidence, most of Warrior of Light battle quotes are similar to Riku from Kingdom Hearts series, (though some of them change the theme of Darkness for Light) mostly:
  • A running gag among fans stems from Warrior of Light's static expressions as he never displays any facial expressions aside from stoic and composed.
  • The sixth and final command for Oversoul will always be the left directional button. In Dissidia 012 it was changed so it is now random.
