ANIMATOR REACTS to *Final Fantasy XIV Flames of Truth* (First Time Watching) Gaming Cinematics

The original cinematic played in-game in the final moments of the 1.0 version. At first, you don't know what happened after the warriors are teleported away. In the new version of the game, you venture into the Coils of Bahamut (the remains of the dragon), and find out what happened to Louisoix (the elf mage). That's when you are treated to the remaining part of the cinematic and learn how Bahamut was defeated. SPOILERS. Bahamut is what's known as a primal - a "god" born purely of faith and desire that devours the land's strength to sustain itself. In order to defeat it, Louisoux become a primal himself - Phoenix, a manifestation of sacrifice and rebirth. The song that plays throughout the trailer is also incredibly significant to the lore of the game, even through the current expansion.

Watching people react to this cinematic never gets old XD. It is truly a gem of cinematography.

Here's the order for cinematic trailers! Super glad to see you reacting to these, FFXIV has some crazy trailers. 1.0 Launch Cinematic 2.0 A New Beginning 2.0 Flames of Truth Heavensward Stormblood Shadowbringers Endwalker

You have no idea how many FFXIV fans are going to come out of the woodwork with this. We as a community adore watching other people experience this game. Watch order: - Heavensward Trailer (this containes major spoilers for the end of A Realm Reborn) - Stormblood - Shadowbringer - Endwalker Just know that the man that we follow in these trailers is supposed to represent you, the player

The thing about this Cinematics is it evolves as you play the game. You will get to know who are in the cinematics, where it was, why it happened, who let it happen, when it happened, what happened after, and soon the identity of the help given. The story is very good, perhaps one of the best stories I have ever experienced in any piece of media. And I'm not exaggerating.

Every FFXIV trailer is exceptional, but aside from this one, Shadowbringers is the most impressive. You won't have any idea what's going on, but it's so well done that it's hard not to be blown away regardless.

6:05 this song totally hits different after the latest expansion Endwalker. It brings me to tears everytime

The one you watched is the version with the hidden ending that you get for finishing the 1st raid. The original cinematic ends after he teleports them away and then you see them appearing in the present.

It's so crazy, they basically made the shutdown and relaunch of the game into a literal in-game calamity where one of the moons called Dalamud, slowly actually descended closer and closer everyday in the game while the music in the zones drained more and more and got replaced with this music that slowly got louder in the distance until it finally crashed when the servers went down and this played for everyone. It was the most epic way possible they could have handled the relaunch.

I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES. This is a combination of the first trailer and a later one from story. Order is this release, Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker.

Barebones lore explanation. First a bit of background Emprie wanted to go full scorched earth tactics on Eorzea so they used an ancient piece of tech that allowed them to basically bring the moon down to earth. The Eorzeans has a plan to stop it by summoning their 12 gods (which you kinda see in the video) but the fanatics of the empire tried to stop them. Hence the battle on the trailer. So, well, trailer happens. Moon falls and SURPRISE the moon is a satelite built by the ancient civilization to imprison Bahamut (and use him as a power source). The Eorzeans repurpose the summoning to seal Bahamut but as we see it fails. So as a last meassure Luisoix (aka the old man) uses a spell to send the combatants 5 years into the future and supposedly dies in the explosion. That's what we thought anyway. What comes after this is another video you get later in the game. So, to summon stuff you need prayer, faith and a whole lot of aether. Luisoux's vision of crystals is showing us he sees and feels all the aether around him that is there because of the failed sealing, plus all the prayers of the eorzeans for basically well... Wanting the realm to be reborn after this crisis. So Luisoix takes all that aether and prayers and (something not really clear in this video) he becomes the physical manifestation of Pheonix, common symbol of rebirth. And with that power he kicks Bahamut ass as we see.

Been watching you guys for a while and I'm really, REALLY excited to see you guys react to the Final Fantasy XIV Cinematics. As Ninetails explained, The first part of this cinematic was what the players of the 1.0 era saw as they were shutting down the servers and rebuilding this game from the ground up. The second part of the cinematic (Which was after Louisoix, who most call the gandaulf of 14, had the warriors escape upon realizing Bahamut couldn't be contained.) is part of a Raid series you can unlock once beating the main game. 1.0 tanked horribly in sales, a lot of issues in terms of graphics and gameplay as well as the severe lack of communication between the devs and people were what led to the catastrophe. (Prime example being that a flower pot LITERALLY had the same amount of Polygons as an actual player model). In your off-time and if you're really wanting to learn more, I'd suggest No Clips Three part documentary on the series.

It is already pretty impressive, I know, but playing through the story, after 11 years of lore development, you get to know the meaning of the lyrics, the war, the role of the heroes... Final Fantasy XIV just feels... Fulfilling. And rewarding. It's a beautiful, beautiful story.

Did you know that the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime?

The lore and story in this game exceeds pretty much most books and TV series I’ve experienced to date, by a long shot. It’s not a video game, but a 10 year long journey for anyone to experience.

FF14 after the re-release is still one of the best MMOs for sheer freedom...so many classes and paths to go down...new classes and races popping up all the time. Also that "small child" that healed that dude is an adult race known as a Lolafell...they're just tiny. XD

This is a Raid cutscene from "The Coils of Bahamut". Bahamut is the King of the Dragons since Final Fantasy I, where he was a mission npc.😁

First! And also loving to see you doing XIV, the game I am playing with a lot of joy since 2013!

So what had happened was like you said. The original final fantasy 14 mmo wasn't very good and didnt launch very well. They had made many updates to the game that did actually improve things but by then the damage had been done. So when they announced that ff14 was going to be shutting down its servers on a specific date. In game the had a quest line initiated that everyone had. But Noone could do anything about. The moon (Called Dalamud) started small. But every day the moon got closer. You could even hear a whisper of that song (Called Answers btw. I love it so much) out in the background while playing. The day of hundreds of players logged in to watch and wait for the servers to shut down. And were treated to that amazing original cutscene. And at the end announced that they would be able to come back in ff14 a realm reborn. Its just insane how square turned what was a failing mmo into one of their biggest successes.
