We got hit hard by copyright on this one...had to cut some out :/ What's your FFXIV Character / Job?! Follow my Twitch, I'm streaming tonight!: twitch.tv/philiphartshorn Also check out my main UA-cam Channel with 200K subs: ua-cam.com/users/philhartshorn
I know I already mentioned it. But Shadowbringers is my favorite Final Fantasy game of all time. And I only went through it just recently. Heavensward is one of my favorite FFs. Up there with FF7. Stormblood is really, really good. And ARR is a 8/10 overall, if you count post 2.0 patches. Music slaps. Story especially so. Even raids are really important to plot and amazing, since they're mostly based around other FF games! Lovely for us FF fans!
this game is the first time ive ever questioned whether or not 7 and 10 are the best story games of all time. to think theyre able to make these stories this good without any romance at all or specific main character story attachments
As someone who actually enjoyed and hated a realm reborn, it was all about playing how I like to and not how everyone thinks I'm supposed to play. My favorite thing to do was to interact with the environment, have a moment to turn off all my HUD and listen to the rainfall. In some cases, I turned off the BGM because it was overstimulating with all the other sounds going on. I liked riding my chocobo more when I could hear it's footsteps and the birds chirping. Other times, I liked walking to hear BGM in Coerthas central highlands. The music pauses in silence to let you hear the wind. It was really immersive that way. My favorite thing to do in dungeons when first timers are watching cutscenes is to breakout in dance. 😂 I mostly play bard and wmage so I play "hide and heal" or "hide and bard" when traveling the map. This is where I cast cure on an unsuspecting passerby as they try to look for where it came from, but I hide so they can't tell. Or, I hide behind a bush and break out in song as unsuspecting passerbys try to find where the music is coming from. I got quite a few laughs and face palms in pvp when I started dancing, but when I took out the entire opposing team at least once, I could see they we're not expecting that from the same person. ROFL 🤣 Heavenward picks up a bit more than a realm reborn so I didn't goof off as much. The trailers are always fun to rewatch.
SHadowbringers is by far the best expansions, its award winning, and in my top 3 of all time, up there with Borlderlands 3 Tiny tinas, and the witcher 3s expansion that were entire games. im a max level everything, i main ninja 80, and machinist 80. come game, I gotchu on boosts and know how. im an officer in the one of the top rated free companies on the server consistently
Shadow bringer is all the feels! With how much you're steeped in the final fantasy lore you'll love all the throwbacks, raiding thru crystal towers the first times was just so gratifying on a nostalgic level, most of the job specific gear are direct nods to old games, there are too many too list but it seems like something you would particularly appreciate. It's a 10 years of story to get thru but they have made it more user friendly within the last couple years so it's not such a time sink, they want it to be able to be enjoyed casually. I think it's time! haha
Closer examination from someone with filmmaking knowledge makes me appreciate the finer details of these trailers more than I already did. Didn't even think that was possible 😂
My jobs are.. DPS: Samurai Tank: Dark Knight Healer: White Mage My favorite expansion is Shadowbringer, but I have a soft spot for Stormblood (FOR DOMA!).
Warrior main here! Just got to Heavensward myself, but I'm enjoying it a lot so far! Even started leveling up dragoon 'cause I think the armor looks sick lmao. I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on the ARR cinematic trailer. I can't really say any more right now in case you haven't seen it yet, but it gives me goosebumps each time I watch it. Would like to see someone's reaction from a filmmaker's perspective!
Broo, in the past i was did same that you, today FF14 is a religion to me LOL. This game have so much soul when heavensward starts. The budget, the music, the setup, the world building and etc. I hope you can back again to FFXIV one day!
I mean 'several cutscenes will play in sequence' is a thing in ff14. some of them definitely last more than an hour. its a warning to not start if you dont have time. lol
I'm a reluctant astrologian main, but equally often find myself a dragoon or a gunbreaker these days. Heavensward is my favourite expansion story-wise, but if I am to look at an expansion as a whole, Shadowbringers brings lot of quality of life updates and decent gameplay. Stormblood had the best raids (and Return to Ivalice!)
I’m a BLM. Am still in stormblood, but so far post-HW has been my favorite. It really picked up for me there. Tbh I wasn’t really a fan of ARR, dk if I would’ve even continued if I wasn’t told that stuff got better, but I feel it was worth it. Things do get better, but it took a long time for me at least
My main is Dragoon. Currently Doing Ultimate fight as an Astro and Dancer is like my third Class i play the most. But i have all class up to 80 and can somewhat play all of them. ( other than black mage. I can't do Black mage). Shadowbringer is by far the best expension for me, story wise. Just the sheer emotion i got out with it was amazing.
I started as a Dragoon, but I play Red Mage right now. May take up Reaper in Endwalker, but that remains to be seen! My favorite expansion, hands down, is Shadowbringers. If you get through ARR, ShB has so so so much pay off. It brings tears to so many. And my favorite raid series is Omega. It was the first raid series I completed while it was relevant on Savage difficulty and I got my Omega mount. Sat out Eden due to IRL stuff going on, but I'm excited about EW. I think where you got hit with copyright is sadly due to the heavy spoiler nature of that particular trailer. Seeing what happens at the end of ARR at the start sets up too many spoilers.... which... The Dev Team avoids including spoilers like that now.
You can see my most recent Documentary on the Shaolin Temple on my main channel, we are celebrating 3 million views this week. I got invited by the religious leaders of the Buddhist warrior monks to live among them in China and train while filmmaking in that sacred ground (a rare privilege). I hope you enjoy it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I suggest you put a Big spoiler in the title because this cut scene contain the biggest and most important spoiler for those who have not played through ARR. this will literally ruin some players experience
My favourite expansions of FF are probably in the order that everybody has them in. Anybody who puts anything else than Shadowbringers on top needs a very personal reason as to why it's Heavensward. People who put Stormblood on top are trolling or forgot about 4.0.
