I do not own the rights to Final Fantasy 14. Square Enix does own the copyrights to all FFXIV related topics, dialogues, characters, and miscellaneous information within this AU. There is some deviation in the game, like the WoL beginning. If your question is: Is this a Retelling of the Game? ...Yes and no. There are deviations sprinkled in between actual dialogue.
Other than that, I hope you enjoy! You don’t need to have played the game, since it covers the introduction to ARR well.

Come follow my Warrior of Light as she travels the continent of Eorzea to discover what it means to truly help the people.
