🌱 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.

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.

"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.

LETS GO, you made it to Shadowbringers!

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

That wtf at the end killed me

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

GO KRISTY!!!

never get tired of ppl react to this for first time

You'll get it as you play. I just started it myself and his reason for saying it makes sense when you get to that part. Still I've got to level up another job to get any benefits from the quests and side quests. Started at level 80 and can't go higher. I just wanted to do my next Summoner job quest, that's all.

Shb and Ew trailer hits different. Even after completing the game this shit still blows my mind.

Make sure you stock up on Kleenex

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.
