Please React to the attack on titan season part 2 trailer
React to the trailer for the new danny boyle film “Yesterday”
Please react to devil may cry 5 game awards trailer
gerg i know you havent done an overwatch reaction in forever but id HIGHLY recommend the "dragons" short as a reaction vid (if you havent already seen it on your own of course). definitely the best of all the overwatch shorts imo and the number of views compared to the others speak for itself.
Pls react to 2.0-5.0 expansion trailers!
Also to note that this cinematic is the culmination of a patch-long event. On the Dalamud quest-line, you and other adventurers (players) attempt to foil the White Raven's plan to crash Dalamud (the Red Moon) onto Eorzea....but you fail to stop him and you watch the Moon grow closer, helplessly. The last week before the 1.0 servers shut off was crazy: Zone musics were replaced by a haunting echoing version of Answers (this trailer's theme), Imperial soldiers littered the maps, Aetherytes were corrupted (teleport points), voidsents attacked cities and camps relentlessly (spawned by GMs). Some players participated in the battle you see in the trailer while others sat with friends, looking up at Dalamud, waiting for the server shutdown. When the servers died, this trailer was released.
This event is known as the 7th Umbral Calamity and was something actual players went through. I'm pretty excited for the upcoming Calamity....considering that one wont include a server shutdown
was gonna like but i didn't wanna ruin greatness
As many times as I have watched this, I'm always impressed at the ability they had to tell a story without anyone ever speaking...
I know, right?? When i first saw this cutscene, after finally defeating Phoenix/Louisoux at Coil T12 back on ARR, i was keep saying to myself "OH MY GOD, this cutscene WORTHS ALL my effort "
Like, I've never played final fantasy, any of them except 7 actually. This cutscene alone is absolute art. Beautiful. Awesome. Epic.
That peaceful smile at 7:25, when he's content to have saved the others, and has accepted his death, always make me tear up T_T
This is essentially Square Enix's way of burning this game before they did the remake. Only Square Enix would put this much effort into shutting down a game XD
Its called marketing my dude. They announced,advertised, and got on the good side of the original player base all in one well made video. Honestly pretty genuis.
@@Floridamangaming729 now would you mind tell the other developer to do their marketing also
Yoshida is the one who had the idea of shutting it down, not even SE wanted to do so, but to save the franchise they had no other choice but to oblige Yoshida’s genius idea
@@Floridamangaming729 yeah definitely better than what the folks who got really into destiny or that game with iron man suits that I already forgot the title or that other Avengers game that is almost as good as dead now
@@gembocobo9484 Destiny somehow gets away with it though. The other two not so much.
5:08 That dragon was actually sealed inside that giant orb as both a prison and a power cell for the ancient civilization, and the dragon, Bahamut, isn't too pleased about being stuck in that thing.
I'd go so far as to say the cinematics are even more impressive because they were actually made in 2012, not 2015 :)
The first half of the video played when the game shut down in November 2012, the second half (after the heroes are sent away and the Elven grandpa sacrifices himself in the final battle) was visible by clearing the hardest raid in the relaunched version that came out in 2013.
Because it was so hard to beat, many players never got to see the second half, so in time for the first expansion launch in 2015, they finally uploaded the full version to UA-cam so everyone could catch up in time to see the story continue, that's why the video says 2015 despite the cinematic being from 2012 :)
I know your comment is years old, but wow, what great facts! Seriously I can't believe I never heard about the second half only playing after the hardest dungeon was beat. Been playing g since 2015 (on and off) and never heard of this before!
Also please watch the Heavensward, Stormblood and shadowbringers trailers. XIV’s expansions
Definitely
Heavensward definitely takes the cake.
@@bakedturkeys2132 yeah. Heavensward was great.
The red moon Dalamud was actually a 6000 year old space station build by the Allaghan Empire to contain Bahamut. It was essentially used to be a prison while the primal soaked up the sun's aether and then the satellite beamed it down to the Crystal Tower. The energy received was so powerful it caused the 3rd Umbral Calamnity and utterly destroyed Allag.
Play final Fantasy xiv. It’s legit one of the best games on the market right now
I not when this cinematic was made which is what makes it so glorious.
Yeah right theyll get right on that...rofl
Best mmo*
The old world *B O M B E D*
xD
Also one of the greatest communities, if there's a question a person will answer! So many friends to make and so many things to learn as you make a story based journey through your characters perspective!
All I know is that this was the video they played at the final moments of the original XIV before A Realm Reborn began. The whole time during the last moments there was that huge meteor floating above everyone and it was crazy to watch firsthand.
In short: THIS is how you kill a server.
Especiall when they had monsters invading the cities and being able to get relic weapons from under bed.
technically its not the same one, the one shown at the final minutes of 1.0 did not include the scene where louisoix powers up and doesnt show bahamut dying, i believe this was the trailer for ARR and the intro every time you loaded it up
@@rafaelcastillo670 close, but incorrect. the ending where Louisoix becomes a primal and defeats Bahamut is revealed when you meet him at the end of your journey in the coils of bahamut (raid), as the player character, the intro shows everything up to the teleport, and then you watch the WoL teleported 5 years laters to a more vibrant Eorzea with your fellow warriors of light. and run to a new Eorzea, a realm reborn.
7:20 this was all we got when the 1.0 servers went down... we were told the game would be reworked and rereleased but we players were left wondering what became of the world we came to love... after watching such destruction wrought and our "not gandalf" saving us at the last moment by sending us... to where? And watching him fade away like that still brings tears to my eyes!
That last bit after the song ends came out later.
There's a lot of story here, some which can't be fully explained without explaining things that are still going on today. But to help explain a bit on backstory (if you care):
The big ball coming down is dubbed Dalamud. Dalamud is, in 1.0, one of the two moons in the sky over the planet placed there by a previous civilization called the Allag that crumbled. The idea of Dalamud was they took the dragon there, Bahamut, and forced him into a ball, then sent him into space in order to use it to draw energy from the sun, and send it back to their civilization. When the civilization fell, the energy Bahamut was absorbing had no where to go so instead he absorbed it and grew in strength. That is until Dalamud was called back to the planet.
Bahamut is a Primal. A Primal is a being that is brought into existence by the sincere prayers of people, they can be killed but can keep coming back as long as there are people to continue to pray and offer energy to do so. In the midst of this fight, they attempted to re-seal Bahamut, but with the energy he absorbed he was too strong. The old man's name is Louisoix and I sincerely believe died in that moment and, as an answer to the prayers of all people across in Eorzea, was reborn a primal capable of stopping Bahamut.
There's more story in there in less prevalent ways. But I hope this helps some people understand a bit more of this video.
This opening movie STILL gives me chills. So good! What's even crazier is this was basically what played at the end of the 1.0 saga as the servers were shut down. The developers literally BLEW up the servers to come at us years later with wonderful Realm Reborn 2.0 as an apology for the disaster of 1.0!
FF14 is a great game lmao
Y’all gotta react to the ShadowBringers expansion trailer!
like anyone that plays the game even knows what is going on, lol.
@@Gee-xb7rt Uh..what? Literally anyone that plays that game can tell you whats going on. It has a great story.
Now THAT is how you end/begin a game! As terrible as 1.0 was, I still kind of wish I played back then so I could witness all of this firsthand. I really wish I could know what this was like to be one of the players who actually stuck with the game for so long. To see the moon slowly descending on Eorzea, to take part in the game's last moments, to see THIS trailer, and then get ARR. The story of this game's failure and rebirth is so fascinating to me, but I didn't start playing until just before Stormblood released, so it's all secondhand to me.
The entire cinematic is stunning to behold, sure, but I feel like without any prior investment in the story and the emotional impact the cinematic creates in relation what's unfolding, it's not even a fraction as good. It always brings me to tears, no matter how hard I try to fight it.
Just as one point, this is not a trailer for FF XIV. The first part is the trailer from the end of 1.0 up till the 'player characters' are teleported away, but after that point the trailer went in a different direction. This cinematic was an explanation of what happened after we were teleported given to us in the final section of the 8-man raids before a big twist happens. Good reaction either way just wanted to clear that up ^_^/
FFXIV is my favorite MMO of all time. You guys should do the other cinematics too.
It really makes more sense if you know the context of when this was first seen. When FF14 version1.0 was about to shut down it's servers, they did it with style! As gamers were finishing up the last of the game, a red dot appeared in the sky. Over weeks, it got larger. And when it came time for the servers to shut down, players gathered for an assault by the enemy armies under a red moon. Then the servers shutdown and the video was played for the first time. At least most of it. The original video ended where everyone teleported away. They would materialize in a new land, ready for a new adventure. The entire old man fight vs Bahamut wasn't a part of the original video.I thought that part was WTH??? But the first half...damn. That's a crazy epic way to experience the end of your servers shutting down!!!
Flames of truth is not FFXIV trailer, the 1st part is the ending of the 1.0 they destroyed to rebuilt a new world
The 2nd part is the explication of the event we waited for 2 years to understand after we kill the 12th boss of the 2.0 raid.
The epicness we felt when we got the cinematic was freaking awesome
Just so you know. :P
This is the 2nd version of this event.
The 1st ended when the sage guy got whited out after teleporting the heroes out of there. The 2nd version wouldn't be aired until years later after the patch of the final part of A Realm Reborn's raid went live, where we all finally get to see what happened all those years ago. Not that Bahamutt, the dragon, was already dead, we already knew that since the first part of the raid, but not HOW he died or who/what did it for that matter. Since what could have possibly done so much damage to him that destroyed his right arm and everything below his chest?
"They should make a movie."
Funny you say that. Visual Works (the division of Square Enix that makes these cinematic trailers) is the reconsolidated remnants of Square Pictures, who, as I'm sure you know, developed and released Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.
The gist of what’s going on: Evil empire is trying to conquer the world and the alliance is opposing then better than they expected. The empire decides to crash one of the moons onto Eorzea (the place the game takes place). Little does anybody know Bahamut (the dragon) was trapped inside of it and had been absorbing the suns energy for 5000 years and was pissed at existence. The wizard teleports the warriors of light 5 years into the future and kills Bahamut
Evil empire.. idk if I agree with them just being evil mc evil. "ends justify the means" empire doesn't sound as good though I guess.
Matt Fortress If you’re caught up with the story then you’d know they’re evil lol
@@RaddyC Also Bahamut isn't just pissed, he's literally insane at that point because he was imprisoned alongside several other dragons so that their cries for help would keep him tied to this plane of existence.
@@RaddyC I'm all caught up in the story, The Ascians are the evil ones. The empire is suffering because of them.
@@rucession5760 Bahamut has been dead for five thousand years. The Elder Primal Bahamut is merely a grim simulacrum brought about by the Allagan manipulation of the dragons' desire to see Bahamut again. So you might say he's like the hopes and dreams of all dragons tortured by Allagan contrivance for millennia. The Ascians merely gave Allag the technology to do so.
FFXIV is the first final fantasy game I have played, and my personal opinion is that this game is amazing. Got me interested in the series.
Honestly, while I haven't played very many final fantasy games, I have never hated a final fantasy game (even the community's least favorite of the series like ff13/ff15). I will say ff14 is probably the one I have played the most just cause of how addicting it is
This was the first and only MMORPG I've ever been able to get into, and I tried plenty. I always loved the idea but whenever I tried to play one it just didn't grab me.
FFXIV definitely did.
Unlike what many stated, that this was 'The video that played when the servers of 1.0 were shut down.' - As stated by one commentor, only the first part was this video, where the 'important figure' calmly awaits the fires of Bahamut incinerating everything.
The Part after THAT are a cutscene that plays once you finished the 2nd to last part of the 'Binding Coil of Bahamut' series of instanced dungeons, where a lot of lore exposition happened, with a lot of sadness involved, too.
(looks at my calander)
Your reacting to this NOW?!?! 😱
Someone who donated to their patreon requested it.
Lol yea I was watching reactions to this specific video last week so when this came up in my suggestions I thought "how have I NOT found theirs before"!!
Well duh, because they only just uploaded it xD
Just found this reaction and I think an important thing to note, despite all the heroics, and amazing feats shown, the world still burned. It shows in the game very well that there are consequences even in the light of heroic actions.
That was the opening video for ARR. it was used as a description for the end of 1.0 and the beginning of 2.0, the rebirth of FF14 and the start of the binding coil story
That cinematic always makes me teary eyed.... Love it.
The first part, up to where the explosion engulfs the wizard, was what the players of 1.0 saw when they shut down the servers. I saw it when they put it on UA-cam. And like you guys, I knew nothing about this game. It was enough to get me interested enough to sign up for the 2.0 beta testing and preorder the game. I left for a few years after the first expansion was released, but I returned recently. If you like MMOs it's worth your time.
Longest cinematic in FF history. The theme song for it is absolutely amazing as well. There's even a longer version on PC and PS4 after this vid. It is integrated with it.
Please please please read the lyrics to Answers which is the song thats playing during all of that. It is the A Realm Reborn theme!! Probably the best song that exists musically and lyrically in any game I've ever played. Every time I play it and its been many many many times now lol I still get so teary eyed near the end...
The one thing the final fantasy franchise has been epically good at is making a fantastic story to fall in love with... and each one is it's own tale.
Smaug: "I am the death"
Bahamut: "Hold my beer"
Basically the battlefield was like an ingame event where you the players fought against the enemies that kept on coming, then Bahamut breaks free from his prison and burns everything.
The night the original game had its servers shut down, we fought against nonstop spawning high lvl monsters for about 3 hours, only that we still failed to save it.
The cinematic started playing when the server was shut down, and people were quite choked up and even cried on voice chat.
This moment in videogame history was the most epic on a long time and I’m glad I got to play the original version and is still playing FFXIV today and look forward to Shadowbringers expansion and the Gunblade job ;)
with Shadowbringers 'Answers' gets a whole new meaning and now I cant listen to it without being on the brink of crying
This video is technically 2 cutscenes in one. The first part up until the old man teleports the warriors away was the end of FFXIV 1.0. SE quite literally destroyed the world so it could be remade for A Realm Reborn. The last part where he absorbs the energy in to himself and defeats the dragon Bahamut was a cutscene in A Realm Reborn and part of an explanation of what exactly happened following the events of the first part of this video since no one in A Realm Reborn actually knew the details of what happened to Bahamut and why the world wasn't completely destroyed.
That old man saved us all. One of the best moments in video game history !
not sure if ppl said it before...but the 'Cocoon' of Bahamut (the dragon) was a moon, called Dalamud, of the planet you are on it also functioned as a cage as you will to hold the beast in.
Ok so i got a couple things to say, if u guys liked this trailer then i highly recommend the Heavansward, Stormblood and Shadowbringer trailers (theres also the post game story trialers which are pretty nice, they take place between each expansion). The other thing i wanted to say is that if u thought the music was beautiful i HIGHLY recommend listening to the soundtrack for this game. Its a long list but its definitely worth it. So much beautiful music, its close to being insane lol. The orchestra that made the music in the soundtrack actually perform the songs on stage all the time if u ever wanna look it up, cant remember the name tho.
I wasn't there for the close of 1.0 but I still get a little choked up just reading people's experiences of it. Honestly it seems like one of the greatest events in gaming.
Have you guys not seen.. Final Fantasy VII Advent Children???
"you got this, non-Gandalf"
I peed myself a little
Since you did a reaction to the video itself, you need to just listen to Answers. It is by far one of, if not the best FF song currently in existence. It's an experience of a song.
So TLDR: That moon object was called Dalamud, which was keeping the Dragon Bahamut imprisoned. The Garleans wanted to drop Dalamud to wipe out Eorzea, but failed and thus Bahamut was released.
Dude with the glasses was so engrossed with the video after the first 10 seconds, every quip the other guy did was met with a "mhm" 😂😂 one of my favorite videos of all the Final Fantasy games.
Man as a 1.0 character this cutscene always makes me tear-up. rip
While I was playing 1.0 until they shut down the servers and gave us the link to the video, It brought me to tears with how it played out, and I still get the chills and teary eyed everytime I watch it. The amount of time I put in and my attatchment to the character and NPC's was fantastic and brilliant in 1.0.
The old man became a Primal from all the prayers for his success.
I never get tired of the blackmage against magitech engine. Like: "You want to compare FIREPOWER?!!"
I just started playing FF14 since a few months.
I only played WoW before but it got so bad, i just needed something new.
And oh my gosch FF14 is so amazing. Im not sure if i will ever go back to WoW now.
And i dont know why this trailer, used for the 1.0 shut down is not like the biggest mmorpg moment ever talked about.
My hype level is beyond measure and I actually owned this on the ps3
That party coming back in the story and the Warrior being a big part of Shadowlands was so fucking good. Didn't even realize it was them until i saw the cinematic again.
Yes!!! Final Fantasy XIV is the best online game out there right now. Should react to the trailer for the new expansion Shadowbringers.
It's crazy how many people don't know that this is what happened the moment servers went down in 1.0 (before ARR).
You guys should watch the final fantasy 14 shadow bringers extended version
I've been seeing this trailer pop up on a lot of reaction channels lately. Not sure who is spreading the XIV love across youtube, but I approve.
a lot of WoW players are moving to FF14...probably the reason
It's less love and just reaction channels banking off the recent hype around Shadowbringers and all the recent news about the game, to be honest
i know the reaction 1.5 yr old but what happened is pretty much - what everyone thought was a moon was actually an artificially created prison for bahamut (the dragon, elder primal). the space bad guys (the ones with "robots" and dark armor) actually tried to pull "the moon" closer and crash it into the planet, which did cracked the prison and bahamut was released. circle of knowledge (the praying people) and their leader louisoix (elvish gandalf) tried to use power of twelve (gods of that world) (the light runes) to recreate the prison, bat bahamut did break out before it was finished.
at the end (which is actually separtate video) louisoix kind of defeats bahamut.
So basically, Not Gandalf got all his buddies to pray and give him their power, he cast Summon God but it didn't work, lucking he got some of the spell components refunded when the spell failed so he used that to cast Fuck You Dragon and blew a hole in it. Then he made it snow to put out the fire.
does anyone know the theme that plays around 7:23 when Louisoix is looking up at Hydelyn and to the twelve? always sends a chill down my spine
he just went super saiyan GOD and ultra instinct
The old guy is louisoix and he is the founder of the scions of the dawn (a group dedicated to stopping the primals creatures that beast tribes summon that mind control their followers) the others praying are the members of the scions. The really powerful fighters in the battle are the warriors of light (the players) the dragon is bahamut a the dread wyrm the elder primal. He was sealed in and made up the second eorzian moon dalamud. The blue spikes and the blue magic was actually the 12 eorzian god's being summoned to stop bahamut. In the end in desperation, the gods empower louisoix and use him to directly fight bahamut. Which he succeeded in doing but in the end the calamity changed so much that most of arr's storyline is about the world rebuilding. Loss of memories and fighting other primals. Eventually you join the scions and have to fight the garlean army(bad guys in the trailer) oh and you find out muscular Dante is actually Cid garlond (an airship builder who defected from garland).
I'd love to see you react to the other 4 trailers for this game. Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers & the newest one, Endwalker.
I love watching reactions to cinematics from games I play just to see they share the same awesome reaction I had and continue to have every time I watch them over again. I'd definitely love to see you guys react to the other FFXIV expansion cinematics. :)
i know this is a new comment to an old video, but every time I see that video, It brings a tear to my eye because Ive the raid in FFXIV that finished that story. So tragic, so sad, such tragic sacrifice that ended with the final destruction of the Balamut, Tiamat's mate, who is still to this day, trapped in Heavensward maps, still mourning her lover's death and rise to become a Primal and thereby trapped in Dalamund, that red moon that blew apart and almost ended life on Aorzea
Hard ass nipple chills we’re all experienced that one time or more in our lives
You guys should do heavens ward then Storm blood after this
Try the trailer for ffxiv shadowbringers next please
If they're going to go for the Shadowbringers trailer, they might as well watch the Heavensward and Stormblood trailers, first.
if you wanna see how final Fantasy has evolved since that 6 year old movie, you should check out the trailer for final fantasy XIV Shadowbringers or the teaser trailer for final Fantasy XIV Endgame :)
You guys should definitely react to the rest of the expansion's extended trailers, including Heavensward, Stormblood, and the brand new Shadowbringers! They're amazing looking cinematics, definitely worth it.
i remmber my first day back on early days damn gud times when i saw it for the first time xd
5:23 Smaug WISHES he could do this. He ain't got SHIT on this guy. No, this is Bahamut...
The big dragon is Bahamut, one of the most dangerous primals known in this world. He was kept in a coccoon-like jail (Dalamud) but an imperial crazy bastard called him down to try to put and end the resistence (the good guys). It's when this cutscene happens (just to give some context) :P
It's the initial story before the game begins (it's also the end of the story of the first version of this game). So, this battle was the end of a game and a start for the other (clever, don't you think? ^^ ).
Try to play it! I believe you guys will enjoy! The first expansion is a little better in story than the initial part and considered the best part by a lot of players.
Bahamut pissed af and it shows xD
any chance you will watch any of the other trailers? there's cinematic trailers like this for the launch of the remake FFXIV: A Realm Reborn (called A New Age) as well as the expanisons Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers (in that order) and launch trailers great for hyping you for the story of each expansion.
8:36-8:39
So that's what a power struggle between Goku's Kamehameha and Freeza's Death Ball thingie would look like in a fully rendered CGI.
So that sphere that exploded was the star Dalamud. It was created by an advanced ancient race of people called the Allagans to imprison the Dragon God Bahamut and use his energy as a fuel source. In this video, the Garlean broke the seal during their attack on the Eorzean alliance causing him to be released. The old elven guy then summoned the power of the twelve gods to defeat the dragon.
It was a moon, fyi ;P
I think the dragon was previously imprisoned by them in that sphere...And he broke loose???
You are correct. He broke loose due to the actions of the Garlean Empire (the people on the airship) Bahamut was imprisoned by a past fallen empire. The past empire was advanced in technology but didn't have the strength to defeat Bahamut so instead imprisoned him.
@@UchihaKagai i think they could've destroyed him if they wanted, but they were using him as a power source to fuel their empire.
@@Lorkanthal Pretty much this. Dalamud was sent into space to act as a power station for the Crystal Tower. Alagans used primals as power sources, much in the same way Mhach used voidkin to power the Void Ark and their city.
Didn't bahamut die and that's his twisted summoned primal form. That got to life as the dragons oppression bore fruit for someone to save em thx to the ascians help and knowledge how to summon ...as for allags.. they did not want to kill bahamut.. they impreasond the dragons for their experiments. Not to mention the devil's. All in order to get more power
@@akirax717 yep. The Ascians tricked Tiamat into summoning a primal version of Bahamut based on her anger and grief. The Alagans trapped it in Dalamud.
Basically XV originally bombed hard. So 2.0/a Realm Reborn explained that the original world was more or les annihilated, and thus your character was transported like 1,000 years into the future with a new world and the story went on from there. Each update includes a new story arc, new job classes and powers, etc.
This will be the Shadow Bringer Arc.
That event was the war that ended the original world.
I think That was how bahamut started out. He kill you if you are slow in killing him. If anyone survived. They will have a VERY tanned face.
I cant believeI just came across your reaction to this! Im a big time FFXIV player. Do you guys play? Or just reacted to cinematics for it?
Havensward next boys
You guys should seriously watch the Realm Reborn trailer. This was FFXIV vanilla's ending before it was redone and relaunched. The Realm Reborn trailer shows the return of these heroes.
Lol, gandalf! "U shall not pass, o smaug"
The moon was a prison for Bahamut of the 1st brood a summoned god. The spell Louisoix is casting created the "moon" he was trapped in. It sacrifices you soul to imprison him. It failed so he went Jedi on his ass and used the energy built up to kill him. The warriors of light were teleported 5 years into the future. This was the destruction of the failed Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 world. BTW Bahamut is not dead.......
That alone should make you want to get the game...its F**kin awesome!
So basically when FFXIV was first launched it was pretty bad, and people were not happy. The company realized "we can't fix these problems, we have to start completely over" so they announced a shutdown and in the days leading up to it they created atmosphere--monsters increasing exponentially, impossible quests to beat, evil armies attacking, and the red moon getting closer and closer to the planet with an etherial eerie voice hovering above everything. The last moments before the server ended the players all gathered together to stare at the approaching moon, then the server dropped and this video (up to 7:20 anyway) was supposed to play. That's how you hype up a remake! They could have just closed the server, but they didn't--THEY BURNED THE ENTIRE WORLD AND BUILT IT INTO THE LORE OF THE NEW ONE. And no one found out for years what got rid of Primal Bahamut, either, in the new world it was a mystery as to why he suddenly vanished after destroying everything.
The dragon is bahamut i believe . The world was destroyed and magically a realm reborm happened. They needed a nuke like this to re release the game.
This video is more emotional when you know the reason behind this cinematic: Square Enix needed to reboot Final Fantasy 14 so instead of just releasing a sequel, they DESTROYED their entire world in this apocalyptic event and all the original players and everything were killed. After this event in the video, they released Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn, which was INSANELY better than the first iteration of the game and is in the top 5 most played MMOS to this day still going strong
TLDR: The good guys lose and the world is (basically) destroyed, A Realm Reborn is years later with everyone picking up the pieces.
The original game was buggy/bad enough that they blew the whole thing up IN CANON and started over years later!
Merely one trailer, there are several more, Shadow Bringers being probably the most popular arguably. Then again there are some nice cinematics from the WoW universe as well, too bad that some of the earlier story was told in such a way that the cinematics left alot ot be desired....but to get a gist of the storyline I guess they are needed. Especially if you never played WoW.
THAT LOOKED AWESOME
YOU! SHALL NOT!! PAAAASSSSSS!!!!!
See Micheal Bay? _THAT'S_ how you do an explosion!
Final fantasy spirits within does not count as final fantasy it had absolutely nothing to do with it they just paid to use the name... the game is epic you should try it
