    I always watch everyone's reaction to this, it just blows away everything that came before it. And it somehow manages to be more confusing with context than to someone who hasn't played FF14.
  • I remember my first time watching this trailer. "Master Matoya" Me: "wait... what?" "Minfilia" Me: "Wait. What?!" "Warrior of Darkness" Me: "WAIT... WHAT?!!" Such a great trailer!
  • @crimsonpotemkin
    That Minfilia line is always like a sucker slap to anyone watching it for the first time. Works every time.

    I love that the male singer for that song is Jason Charles Miller, a.k.a. the ARR Raubahn voice actor.

    This trailer still gives me goosebumps after all this time. :face-red-heart-shape: Cant wait to be an emotional vampire throughout your msq journey :chillwcat:

    Reactions to this trailer are always great. But it's always best when you get them from someone who's played up to this point in the story first, because the reaction to Thancred's final line is always amazing. Just watching the reactor shut down for a few moments as they process what they heard and how can that even be possible, and bringing back the memories to when I got hit by that exact same thunderbolt.

    Incase you didn't realize.....the Jobs the main character uses is in order of the Releases of FFXIV and the expansions..... 1. Archer, because in the Original Release of FFXIV the main character was an Archer 2. Warrior, because in A Realm Reborn, the re-release of FFXIV he changed into a Warrior 3. Dragoon for Heavensward 4. A Monk followed by Samurai for Stormblood.... 5. A Dark Knight for Shadowbringers.....

    The way the crowd reacted to DRK!Meteor's little smoldering glance at the end when this was debuted. Next-level.
  • @NozdormusRage
    Let the pain begin, but also let commence the most well-told story in any video game I've ever played.

    It is absolutely insane to me how effective of a trailer Shadowbringers is. If I see any streamer or player who wants to react to it, I will be there, every time the experience is fresh and new. Whatever they did for this, it absolutely worked and really should be showcased in a museum or something. And I'm so glad that you responded to it with that same level of hype that I think everyone has, even to this day. It's such a good trailer, just, like, woah.

    A huge turning point, in the story, for the game in general... And we got Ishikawa Natsuko as the main writer, which i attribute a lot of the success to. I can't believe she won't be for Dawntrail, maybe someone else will do great but i'm going to miss her inevitably and this person will see why soon after this
  • Yeah, you noticed the step up in quality for the trailer. Thing is, everything about the expansion has that quality increase. The story, the execution, the pacing, even the voice work and the music. You’re in for a roller coaster ride, enjoy it! Here’s the first of many… Welcome to Shadowbringers! I hope you brought tissues.

    My wife was laughing at me cheering with you along this trailer. it is SUCH a banger, I'm so hyped it play it twice more over!
  • I love that Derplander goes through all his jobs from 1.0 to Shadowbringer's Dark Knight during the battle.
  • @okay_sunshine
    One brings shadow, one brings the light! My heart was racing watching you watch this. I'm so excited to watch you experience Shadowbringers!
  • @hayatotheninja
    Everything about this trailer is top tier. The pacing, the music, the visuals, the voicing.

  • @NakuruKouChannel
    this trailer is a masterclass in visual storytelling (and storytelling in general!) and it's always a delight watching new players react to it! welcome to shadowbringers :)

    This trailer is one I recommend watching after you beat the .0 story line, as well to see what you understand like even the beginning section has lore behind it iirc
