When did Darius go from 'this is just my character in a video game' to 'here's Darius Stormcrow and his 53 pages of lore'?
It's the opposite, actually! Darius began as "Here's an OC with a million pages of lore" and got a version of himself dropped into FFXIV as a character for the setting.
In terms of his FFXIV lore starting to take shape, I'd say it was around late 1.0 when we knew that 2.0 was on the way. He was always gonna be a Garlean deserter, but initially he was gonna be a conscript from Ala Mhigo. At some point in Heavensward, he got a rework to be half-Garlean.
