A warrior highly skilled in the art of the sword. He also excels in using his shield both defensively and offensively.

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.
Alternate look
- Amethyst Armor - Warrior of Light changes color schemes for red armor, almost resembling the Fighter class sprite from the original Final Fantasy. In EX Mode, he gains vibrant red, silver and black hues.
- Classic Red - A second alternate costume that changes his appearance entirely to resemble the Fighter sprite from the original game, now featuring lighter, red-colored armor and short red hair. 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
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. He is decent in combat, having no strengths nor weaknesses. His HP attacks focus on the process of the light, blinding his opponent with blessed energy blasts.

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.
- His final Bravery to HP Attack 'Bitter End' is probably named after Roxy Music's final track 'Bitters End' from the band's debut self-titled album.
