🌱 1st time reaction to SHADOWBRINGERS TRAILER | FFXIV

Forge ahead!

Watching people react to Shadowbringers is my favourite pastime.

Welcome to ShB! the trailer goes harder than it has any right to

Rock man! Crystal Father!

Love that she is shocked at trailer being 6+ minutes long but then at the end she is like "It's over already!".

2:48 best part of the video

So, fun fact about the Viera (bunny people): While they were introduced into Final Fantasy XIV in Shadowbringers, they've actually existed in Final Fantasy since at least 2003 in Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced and one of the main characters in Final Fantasy XII (Fran) is also a Viera. Just thought that's a neat fact about them for anyone who only knows them from FFXIV. :D

Congrats on making it this far! It may be a liiiiittle late, but to answer your first question: Nope! You aren’t (weren’t?) ready.

That wtf at the end killed me

It makes me a little sad whenever people don't recognize the lion and giant lady statues from Lost City of Amdapor (Hard). I know it's an optional dungeon or whatever, but it only makes me think the dungeon should become mandatory so there's at least that connection being made.

LETS GO, you made it to Shadowbringers!

"Become the Warrior of Darkness" ... I mean the expansion is called "Shadowbringers" so... yeah. hehe. I know, this all blew our minds back in the day too, we were like "WTF?" wondering if we were supposed to become evil or something. You'll find out as you play, of course. We won't spoil, or at least I won't. I just want to reassure you that we all had the same "WTF?" moments when we saw the trailer for the first time too.

Oh Shadowbringers and Endwalker is such a good pair of expansions! I love the story

You are in for a ride. We all felt the same things back in a day.

never get tired of ppl react to this for first time

GO KRISTY!!!

Welcome to Shadowbringers

One, rewatch this trailer when you finish with 5.0. You will be amazed. Two, this is honestly the most artistic of the trailers. ARRs shows the Battle of Cartenau and Bahamut as well as setting up some raid bosses/characters. Heavensward gives us the direct tension of Ishgard vs the dragons and the landscapes of the expansion. Stormblood gives us actual scenes from the expansion and a little scene or two from each, but Shadowbringers...it takes absolute poetic license with the events it chooses to show. Several events are represented symbolically rather than directly shown. Not gonna say more lest spoil, but God I love this trailer.

I would argue that Shadowbringers has the second best story of any Final Fantasy game ever (IX still being my absolute favorite=

"How many years have come and gone since that day" Good question....i would like to know. Anyway, enjoy ShB.
