"Yoshida-san, the 1.0 version of our game is terrible, how can we improve it?"
"I'll have a giant dragon nuke it to start fresh."
"You'll wha-"
*"NUKE IT"*
🤣
Fans have done calculations and primal bahumut is at least as tall as the Empire States building, with a wing span of at least twise of that. He so big that when they are trying to seal him, you can see the curvature of the world
Calamity Bahamut is even larger than that! Wing tip to Wing tip is just over 6 miles (12.8ish km). Heightwise is over 2x the Burj Kalifa.
Needless to say, even Godzilla in the KoM is small.
@@DarthDragon007 it gets even better. The flare bomb he was about to drop on Eorzea was over twice the size of his wingspan, putting it at a diameter of over 25 kilometers. Suffice it to say EVERYONE would've been screwed if that actually hit.
Honestly every cinematic trailer for this game goes just as hard. If you even have the slightest inclination to check out the rest of them I second that
I’m watching this for I don’t know what time and moment of Bahamut spreading his wings in front of Luisoix still brings tears to my eyes.
Dude, it makes me so happy to see you react to this NGL, FFXIV is too freaking dope
RIGHT!!!!!
Twas majestic!!!!!
Fun you mentioned the song FF14 is the mmo and has been running for about 10 years now and the most recent expansion just added more context to the lyrics from this song from almost a decade ago.
I'm not huge into MMOs but I played through every expansion and even did some of the mid to high tier content for each expansion after seeing the endwalker trailer JUST so I could experience the story... It was.... a lot of content and a LONG. Long. Long.Long. Long.Long. Long.Long. Long story and road to even get to endwalker but it was worth it. I laughed, and cried. Felt anger and fear. And had a fun time playing.
I can say without a doubt that FFXIV is my favorite Final Fantasy game. I can't really stick around in MMO games since I'm just not that devoted to them but the story was brilliant. And them dispersing extra story into the optional content was fantastic and a great driving force to actually have played that content.
Endwalker does win best expansion for me but before I got there, Heavensward held that title for me firmly. That expansion hit so many emotional strings man...
@@ravenna6543 for me ff14 is so amazing because they don't do what most mmos do and just let you stop playing once you finish the story and come back later and not feel punished for it.
This event was called "The Calamity" for good reason.
It's actually called "The 7th Umbral Calamity" there were six similarly destructive or world changing events prior to this one.
This event in the game terms was in-effect the transition from the original game to the new version going forward, out with the old world, in with the new, including a new lead developer and director.
That ball was one of the planets moons, they didn't know there was a dragon inside it. Mr. Darth Vader on his airship there was part of a plan to drop the moon onto this continent and kill/subjugate everyone here.
Didn't go as planned, as you can see.
And it really was a calamity, the summoning, attack of and defeat of Bahamut was so great that it permanently effected the land, or at least long term (it's only been 5 years so whose to say), farmland went baren, hell on region got permalocked to winter. They've been trapped in an endless blizzard since the battle ended and a lot of their people froze to death in the country side before anything could be done for them.
Correction, Gaius was against project meteor. He didnt want to kill everyone because you need people to have an empire. He was also against the destructive might of Ultima, which is why he became shadowhunter
Louisoix's sacrifice has to be one of the best deaths in media history. Absolute bad ass gramps
just found this vid, it NEVER gets old seeing people react to this trailer.
"Imagine as a soldier on the ground... they didn't matter" - then the game goes SUPER HARD to show you why that statement is wrong.
"IS THAT A GIANT BAKUGAN? " made me crack up so hard
🤣🤣🤣
10 years old and it still looks great
Oh this was the first cinematic after they remade the game, it was depicting the end of the old game world. The sequence with the grandpa after it cuts off is a hidden cutscene you get in the game to show the full story of what happened between him and the Dragon (named Bahamut).
In case nobody has told you, this game is free to play to a certain point 😉(up to the end of the first expansion). Really cool you reacted to this because I've been playing this game since before it was remade in 2013 (specifically since 1.0 alpha in 2011).
This cinematic was technically played during the 1.0 shutdown, not after.
You sir are one of the veterans I envy cause you get the sick tattoo and those special dialogs on ARR.
@@acgearsandarms1343 Not this version, the first half, Yeah, but the part with the second music, is from late 2.0
Bro that's the fkng reaction I was searching for!!!! Really great reaction like I wanted to see! You actually felt the battlefield and what's happening in it!
☺️
Okay, so the dragon is a primal version of Bahamut and the ball was his prison. Garlemald basically broke Bahamut out of his prison, called Dalamud. The grandpa is Louisoix. He channelled the power of all twelve gods in order to imprison Bahamut, only Bahamut broke out of that one, too. Louisoix specifically made the spell to kill himself after its completion. If he didn't die? The power would have ended up manifesting as a primal of all Twelve gods. A primal of that power would have made Bahamut look like a cake walk in comparison. Bahamut broke the prison in seconds. Smashed through all of that aether and all of those prayers. So, Louisoix channelled the original aether, used to summon the Twelve, into himself and used his self-contained weapon to destroy Bahamut's body. He was stopped halfway through when Bahamut enthralled Louisoix. All of that power then manifested into the primal known as the Phoenix.
Oh…wowzers
@@gh0xttherebel Seriously, mate! Find the story of the Binding Coils of Bahamut on UA-cam. It's truly amazing story and one I often watch in my journal in-game.
Ok, so I'm gonna Lore dump as someone who's been playing for nearing 2 years now
Spoilers: You have been warned.
So the army with all the armor and machines are from a nation called Garlemald, And Garleans have no ability to use magic, at all. But thanks to a brilliant engineer by the name of Midas nan Garlond, they are able to use Ceruleum as a fuel to power a number of technologies, allowing them to go toe to toe with magic weilding foes. Midas however was working on another project called Meteor. Using a transmitter they were able to make contact with the lesser moon Dalamud, (the red spikey thing you saw in the beginning) however the transmitter also worked two ways and the elder primal Bahamut (the dragon you saw) tempered (entrhralled) Midas. Shortly after this happened Midas attempted to get a better signal and channeled too much power and completely obliterated not only the transmitter, but the region known as Bozja (which this later became known as the Bozja Incident).
10 years later after the Meteor Project was scrapped, the Garleans stilled wanted to conquer Eorzea, but didnt really have the might to fight the Eorzean Alliance, which was an alliance of the city states within, Namely Gridania, Ul'Dah, Limsa Lominsa and Ishgard. Enter Nael Van Darnus, he persuaded the current Emperor Solus zos Galvus to restart the Meteor Project and aim Dalamud right at Eorzea and invade after the destruction. What the Garlean Empire however was unaware of is that Dalamud was actually a several thousand year old power core for the ancient Allagan Empire. Trapped inside was the elder Primal Bahamut.
This where the old dude comes into play, Archon Louisoix Leveilleur. Him along with a number of members known as the Circle of Knowing attempted to prevent the coming calamity. A number of sites were marked for people to pray at and try and summon the Twelve (deities but we're still not sure exactly what their role is) to reseal Bahamut should he escape, or destroy him. This is where a lesson of summoning primals comes in. While under duress and with enough aether/crystals, one can summon a minor god if you will, in the case of say the Kobolds, that god is Titan. Summoned primals are usually not a good thing. For one they have a nasty habbit of brainwashing people into following them, and continuing to suck the world dry of Aether (AKA Life force). In this case however Louisoix was using the ability to summon the 12's powers.
Back to the matters at hand, after 1.0's first patch, players began noticing a red dot, and with every passing patch, that dot was getting closer and closer. It quickly became a race of Louisoix, the Circle and the Warriors of Light to stop the Garleans. This ultimately culminated with the Battle of Carteneau Flats. In a desperate last ditch effort the Eorzean Alliance met the Garleans on the battlefield overseen by Kan-E-Senna (Gridania), Admiral Merlwyb (Limsa Lominsa) and General Raubahn (Ul'Dah) of the Eorzean Alliance, vs Gaius van Baelsar for the Garlean Empire (big serious helmeted guy).
During the battle Louisoix, using the prayers of the people attempted to reseal Bahamut, however Bahamuts rage could not be contained and he wanted to completely level the land for his imprisonment. After breaking free he used his ultimate ability Tera Flare. With nothing else left to fight with, Louisoix, using one of the Twelve's power, sent the Warriors of Light 5 years into the future so they at least would live on. Shortly after doing this he's giving a vision by the twelve, and also thanks to the copious amounts of aether in the area, along with the peoples prayers for deliverance (presumably by Louisoix), he was given the power of a primal, the ability to go toe to toe with Bahamut. After slaying Bahamut he let himself go because he knew the dangers of what a primal could do to a land. This is why the city states of Eorzea dont try to summon the Twelve like the various beast tribes surrounding them tend to do with their gods.
However, Bahamut wasnt as dead as we might have hoped. Shortly after defeating Gaius again in ARR, a dreadful roar is heard during festivities. Bahamut was being regenerated. Not only do the Warriors of Light have to battle the still working Allagan defenses to get at Bahamut's core, but Louisoix as well since he was tempered by bahamut after letting go. Thanks to him, and Nael's sister posing as him, Bahamut is being regenerated. Ultimately you defeat Nael, undo Louisoix's tempering, and finally fight a minature version of Bahamut in his core. These are a series of raids known as The Binding Coils of Bahamut.
FFxiv is my favorite game of all time. Glad you reacted to this
There's a couple of other cinematic trailers worth reacting to Final Fantasy XIV Heavensward, Stormblood and Endwalker. (By the look of the video you've already done Shadowbringers :D) There is also the original cinematic trailer
So the follow-up cutscene wasn't in this trailer specifically. Those five heroes the wizard teleported away were sent five years into the future. You see the land has mostly healed from the dragon's rampage, though has been changed significantly with new threats prowling the world, new adventures.
I wish this cinematic showed the lyrics, they perfectly match what's going on but mostly the voices are drowned out by the battle noise and explosions. Just the first verse:
"I close my eyes, tell us why must we suffer
Release your hands, for your will drags us under
My legs grow tired, tell us where must we wander
How can we carry on if redemption's beyond us?"
"Your will drags us under" refers to the Garleans' will to conquer, unintentionally bringing about the destruction of both sides. "Redemption's beyond us" says it plain; we're *all* doomed.
And the final one:
"Thy Life is a riddle, to bear rapture and sorrow
To listen, to suffer, to entrust unto tomorrow
In one fleeting moment, from the Land doth life flow
Yet in one fleeting moment, for anew it doth grow
In the same fleeting moment
Thou must live
Die
And know"
This is talking to the characters and by extension the players behind them, "entrusted unto tomorrow" by Louisoix (and by the developers) who sent them into the future (closed the servers for a full game reboot) where they'd have a chance of helping the world to recover (playing a game that isn't terrible and failing.) Rapture and sorrow is exactly what the players at the time would have felt, and the whole cinematic really nails the feeling of just absolute sadness that the Garleans' greed for power ended up destroying the world, where normally you might expect things to focus on the world-ending dragon-god being stood up to by the protagonists in a big, showy battle. All but the power of all the gods combined never stood a chance.
3:25 LOL! Subbed man, subbed.
Y'know the most nuts part about this video? The second half, after it fades to white, is actually from a separate cutscene you only get to see if you complete the raid tier released with A Realm Reborn.
😳
and thus ends the Battle of Carteneau; a littered wasteland of glowing, dangerous magics and distorted aether and two armies completely annihilated - but the world itself, outside of the range of the cataclysm, still miraculously alive. it could have been (was suppose to have been) so much worse.
And this cinematic is 10 years old and still looks better than most that comes out today ;)
I’m saying!
IS THAT A GIANT BAKUGAN XD holy shit that had me in stitches
Also the soldiers all got teleported away to the new realm. They mattered to anime grandpa gandalf
Oh thank goodness
@@gh0xttherebel I should also mention that this sort of isn't the full trailer. I don't know why there are two versions. One that cuts off with grandpa dissipating, and another that shows where everyone went when they teleported.
@@catrianheir the OG trailer (where it ends with him in the white light smiling) was the cinamatic showned to everyone when the game shut down 1.0
the trailer that shows all that and the warrior of light arriving 5 years intot he future is the cinamatic for the launch of the remake of the game FFXIV a realm reborn.. they literally nuked the game and remade it bigger and better and used the nuking of the game as part of the lore as well as some of the player defense attempts at the GM summoned monsters
the third trailer... the one we see here is from the raid coils of bahamut years later
Best reaction ive seen well done
Thank you thank you :3
That's the scary part, especially if you're a player and you imagine yourself as being in the place of those heroes that were teleported away.
They just stood there, because even if you're a hero, what can you even do? Everyone just stood there helplessly. It was going to go only one of two ways. Either total annihilation, or they would get lucky and there would be someone like Louisoix that can sacrifice himself to stop it. And it had to be someone as old and powerful as him, pretty much anyone else's sacrifice wouldn't have mattered.
3:26 Lalas defeated forever!
I like Louisoix (self-sacrificing elf wizard man in this) but Square Enix has a troubling habit of lightening his and other characters skin tones in art and crossover stuff, and their own games, most noticeable with Y’shtola, (FF14’s most famous catgirl)
FFXIV is such a masterpiece of storytelling, both in-game and in the cinematics.
Seen a lot of people giving the real life story of how that's how they killed 1.0, but here's the in-universe context without spoilers:
The war was between three allied nations of the land of Eorzea and the invading Garlean Empire. While Garleans don't have magic, they have some pretty high tech. When the fighting got to a heavy stalemate, the Empire's commanding officer decided that the best course of action to ensure their victory...
Was to drop one of the planet's two moons on Eorzea and take over whatever's left afterwards.
Bit of nationally sanctioned genocide and war crimes for dinner, as a treat!
Anyways, as the moon entered its final descent, people realized it wasn't a moon at all. It was a prison.
A prison for one very, very, VERY pissed off Bahamut, the Dreadwyrm. One of the most powerful dragons of all time, now released into the world.
In one final ditch effort, Louisoix, the old pointy eared man, and his allies summoned forth the power of the Twelve Gods of Eorzea, pouring the continent's faith into them to try and seal him away, only for it to fail against the unfathomable power of Bahamut.
Louisoix's last act was to use his power to send the heroes, the Warriors of Light, into the future, that they may be able to save whatever's left.
What happened then, how did he destroy the monster, how did anyone get out of that alive?
Well... The game's free up to level 60, and that includes the raid that answers those questions.
cinematics hit hard especially to those who played the version 1.0
for a background
-version 1.0 was kinda shit
-lead developers, director and producer were changed
-new direction keep on patching 1.0 while secretly creating a version 2.0
-version 2.0 is on a new engine and launching it will effectively shut down 1.0 servers
-version 2.0 was announced but it wasnt release to the public yet how it will be implemented
-devs announce the day they will shut down 1.0 servers
-weeks leading to the D-Day, some weird things are happening ingame to players
-players logging in from inns get weird dreams
-players noticing their is a moon in the sky that keeps getting bigger
-it was revealed that the empire's plan is to bring down a moon to the alliance
-story set up is to gather at a place where the device pulling the moon was. thats were the battle was happening
-on the last day of the server, the server went down and everyone saw that trailer being played
-trailer was only the first part. the second part where "elf grandpa" went ultra instinct supersaiyan was released later locked being a raid series
-so technically the devs not only burned the servers, they also burned the world lore wise hence the "a realm reborn" is both the game and ingame lore
it was one of the most hypest shit that happened to the game
While I can't claim to be a major FF person, I can say:
- I love FF6; FF7 (and Remake) and the lore of the extended universe there; FF8 (my entry into the franchise); FF10/10-2; and FF15
- I'm okay with FF9
- I love the lore of FF13 (cause scifi)
I also like FF14 and put it pretty high on my overall view. This cinematic is a reason for delaying my logging in, cause a shorter version of it plays if leaving the login screen idle. It's so good and pulls at the feels even if one has no clue about the story xD
Crisis Core (and it's Reunion remaster) are one of, if not the best, FF game to date. You should play it, if you liked FF7 you'll definitely like Crisis Core Reunion.
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla I actually was counting that (or at least original Crisis Core) within the "extended universe".
@@CrimsonXE Okay good to know. It's not considered EU tho which is why I was confused. It's considered completely canon to the story of 7.
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla I meant more "things outside of the main storyline to build out the world" with extended universe. Like how games have the main questline and side-quests that can build out the world type of thing. At least that's my own colloquial meaning for EU.
Oh also, if the username is a reference to what I think it might be: NICE!
There's an interesting history to FF14. The original release of the game actually flopped and they shut the game down for a little bit to re-release it as a better more polished version and it has since gained so many expansions onto it due to its growing popularity.
Been playing this game snice 2.1 love it
These cinematics are great but you should see Bioware's trailer cinematics for The Old Republic. Bioware outdid both Lucas Arts and Disney by a mile and a half.
So you know that was the the trailer for FFXIV 2.0 and that destruction was the symbolism of them ending 1.0 and upgrading to 2.0
It was too late to win the battle. That was a last ditch effort to prevent the entire planet from being destroyed.
It appears you've watched FF14 content out of order. What you watched before is the trailer to the 3rd expansion to this MMO, Shadowbringers. This video is actually something that's shown towards the end of the first raid in the game, but the first half of the vid, up to where the old man teleports the others away, it actually part of the first trailer of the base game after they destroyed the world to rebuild it because of how trashy it was when it first came out. In order, Chronologically, Next would be Heavensward (1st expansion), Stormblood (2nd Expansion), Shadowbringers (3rd expansion), then Endwalker (current expansion). I warn that if you ever plan on playing this game in the future, the Heavensward trailer is spoilery.
IS THAT A GIANT BAKUGAN
now i want you to watch Sia fly me to the moon lol
How you doing after the RWBY Vol 8 finale huh? I cried. Again. Everytime I watch someone react to THAT, it makes me cry... ANYWAYS, Gods I love this game so much. Been playing since 2016. The story is PHENOMENAL. Its unlike other MMO's, as its story driven and a "story first" game. Highly recommend.
Also, this trailer was shown when the game ENDED (1.0 was a mess, worst game ever.) They shut down the servers, but before that, they had that red moon (Dalamund) descending in the background, super strong monsters spawning in towns, forcing players to stand in this one spot, watching as Dalamund slowly descended. Haunting music in the background. Then the servers went down, and this played. And they revealed A Realm Reborn with this. I wasn't there, but my god I bet it was hype.
Still hurting from Vol 8🥲🥲
I need to catch up with the games 😫
BRO THAT LOOKS LIKE BAHAMUT!!!!!!
6:16 they bound and sealed THAT MO
Every Final Fantasy numbered game is a new story, XIV is an MMO though, so has a continuing story :D
Michael Bay got nothing on this.
r how do you make a game better hit the reset button. no no let's destroy the entire world and start again
AAAAW SHIT... Here we go! Just to give you a small bit of context, this is off of FFXIV 1.0. they detroyed the game and rebuilt it.
Oh wow
Yeah 1.0 was a super terrible fiasco for se so they brought in the new head of the game yoshi-p. He determined the best way to fix the game was basically to destroy 1.0. up to where it fades out looking at louisoix's face (when it fades to white), that was the last thing everyone saw if they were logged in when the 1.0 servers were shut down. A realm reborn (2.0) was where the current game picks up, 5 years after this battle. There's actually a documentary by noclip about how xiv went from one of Square Enix's worst disasters to it's most successful game.
Imagine watching only half of this and having to wait for years to get the rest of it
