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.
"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.
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.
Fun fact: The Dark Knight being the poster class for this expansion made no sense, because Dark Knights don't channel dark energies. Canonically, they channel feelings. Dark Knights are actually magical girls.
@@kwistyyFFXIV Having emotional friends, I will say it is not a box you need. Prepare a truck load of it for Shadowbringers, this story has left many people in complete tatters.
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.
I never understand why streamers watch these "trailer" cutscenes on UA-cam when they could just have easy access to them from the main menu of the game, with the bonus of getting to see what the title screen for that expansion looked like right after.
i didnt know this was a thing so people informed me afterwards :) ill be able to do it from main menu for endwalker thankfully! thanks for being condescending about it tho! :D
@@kwistyyFFXIV Wasn't directed to you specifically just a comment in a very general sense, if you decide it to take it as condescending that was your choice. Hope you have a blast in Shadowbringers!
@@for_the_lore5567 I sure you can understand why I would think this is targeted at me 😅 I'm glad I know this now! I'm excited to watch endwalker when I get up to it !!
Forge ahead!
I AM FORGING
I'm sorry, but of course Jesse the Emotional Vampire is here.
Jesse is everywhere XD
Lmao seeing Jesse become an emotional vampire with the rest of us is the most glorious thing
Of course you'd be here, Jesse! 😂
All of us Emotional Vampires can sense it!
Watching people react to Shadowbringers is my favourite pastime.
Unironically same
The exact same for me. I liked the EW MSQ slightly more, but the ShB trailer is a lot better in hyping it up
Fr
Love that she is shocked at trailer being 6+ minutes long but then at the end she is like "It's over already!".
Rock man! Crystal Father!

I don't think I've ever actually watched the earlier trailers so I'd love to go back to them!!
I just can't stop watching it lol, I really wish I was around the time this just released
I watch the Korean fanfest reaction every now and then to relive the hype!
2:48 best part of the video
I do a pretty good impression of whatever-the-fuck-he-is
Oh Shadowbringers and Endwalker is such a good pair of expansions!
I love the story
Genuinely one of the absolute best game trailers of all time.
never get tired of ppl react to this for first time
That wtf at the end killed me

Hope you are enjoying the content, Forge Ahead!
Shb and Ew trailer hits different. Even after completing the game this shit still blows my mind.
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.
Thankyou!!! I absolutely was NOT READY

8:27 "Emotionally traumatized" .... yea...... yea... Feelsbringers does that..... :D Hope your enjoying the journey 13 days late :D
it SHOOK ME to my core!! ive just gotten past minifilia's hair colour change :')
The only thing better than watching people react to the Shadowbringers trailer is watching them react to.... well.. you know the bit I mean.
IM PANICKING WHAT BIT
@@kwistyyFFXIV nothing much, just the most awesome single moment in video game history, but I don't want to over-sell it.
Yes, Crystal daddy!
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.
Welcome to peak

HI YOUTUB-... Wait a minute..
hi youtube
Hi youtube
I would argue that Shadowbringers has the second best story of any Final Fantasy game ever (IX still being my absolute favorite=
did she just called the angel "the unicorn with a sword?"
Shadowbringers? What's Shadowbringers? I mean I've heard of Tearbringers, but I dunno what this Shadowbringers is you talk about. lol
after you finish 5.0 story quest you defo need to come back and watch this again XD
The line between light and dark is so very thin...let's cross it together.
