Final Fantasy 14 Heavensward MSQ was very good, really amazing but the Patch content for FFXIV Heavensward 3.1 – 3.3 was simply out of this world.

Oh to be ignorant and not knowing everything we know thus far
c:
ahhh it's so hard to not spoil things for you
your current understanding of what "the rejoining" is, is not correct, but you will find out later what it actually is, and the Warriors of Darkness play a role in it. Same for the Hydalyn/Zodiark dynamic. In fact, if you don't want that particular part spoiled, please don't watch the trailer for Shadowbringers, as sadly that bit of lore is spoiled in the trailer.
Stormblood's main story is a step back from heavensward until the patch content. That being said stormblood was where they heavily upgraded the combat aspect of the game and introduced some of the best dungeons, trials, and raids in the game even as of endwalker. It is also where you'll start getting your more "advanced" skills that change up how your class plays.
Expansion patch content so far has been like x.1 – x.3 being the expansion main stort epilogue, then x.4 – x.55 is a transitional period/next expansion set-up.
All I will say is you are roughly on the right track and I love how close yet far you are to the truth
"Fuck the Vault! It's been a month since I've done that and I am still salty about that" Welcome to the club! It's been years and I am still salty and sad about that!
Heavensward patch content was the first time I teared up in this game. The battle on the bridge, heading the lyrics of the dragonsong war, the spirits of friends long departed… it’s one of my favorite scenes in the game. And while 4.0 has some issues due to being written by two different people, 4.x and onwards keeps hitting those strides.
Rewatch the warrior of darkness cutscenes cause you missed a lot, specially when they are with you and the crystal. You can watch all cutscenes in the inn room in any main city.
Small tipp: do not take WoWs lore and universe rules with you into FF14. Its a completely different universe.
Love all your stuff Acco, but going on this adventure again through your eyes, watching the speculation gears turning in your head is so very satisfying… can’t wait to see your take on the coming trials and victories
He's talking about incredible injustice the dragons suffered at the hands of Ishgard.
Me who finished endwalker: 😀
"Learning the intense and immense suffering of the dragons." – Bro, it gets deeper than the HW story, just wait.
🙂
Everyone after HW – "Hard to believe", "must be imaginary internet hype", "can't fathom how could it happen".
But it is true,
It gets better.
Him: 'FUCK THE VAULT!!!!"
Me: "And I took that personally … we all did. RIP Haurchefant. Still Salty 2022."
😀😀😀😀😅😀😀
🙂
you will find each expansion ends with X.3 of that patch cycle X.4 to X.5 is setup for the next expansion. you think SE hits its stride in HW? The best is yet to come.
PS the rejoining is about the world and its shards not the 2 powers.
It gets so much better. You are in for a treat.
🙂
Hehe, he doesn't know.
Ffxiv makes a very good job in turning bad guys into someone relatable, overall. I am excited to hear your opinion on the next expansion content lmao
Just like you, I don't live in the geographic regions that host the game, and my local coin conversion to US$ is bad, so I fully intended to milk as much game as I could from the free trial before being forced to sub for Stormblood.
I finished 3.3 and immediately subbed. The game proved that they deserved my hard earned money with that final trial. No regrets thus far. Best gaming investment I did since 2016.
This isn't itself a spoiler at this point: The Warriors of Darkness are all based on the FFXIV V1 trailer party. They're not the same characters, but their appearances are all copied from the 1.0 trailer. Only the Derplander carried on as the trailer representative of the player character in 2.0 onwards.
You need to perma ban this julian the king in your chat dude. really all he does is spoiling shit. forshadowing/hinting at stuff. just go and read his chat history please. it makes the stream extremely cringe.
After HW watch Preachs video about it. He has some good points about storytelling.
Oh man 🤣 Have fun on the journey, there's a big one still ahead of you.
I love that you’ve latched on to rejoining this early! This will be a fun ride for you!
🙂
🙂
Acco as you get further into FF14 you'll come to realize Heavenswards setup soooo many hints towards, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker. WoW didnt really start doing that until like MoP however with MoP you probably wouldnt see the hints unless you read the books
"Does it get better from here?" lol.. Buckle up boys… we are about to hit the little red button.
Oh boy… Your not even at 3.5… HW is not over yet, free trial is not over too. Grab a beer and a tissue box for safety.
It’s so fun to see someone not know what they don’t know… and then come to know… 😀
: ) haha he doesn't know
Hey man, love if I’d hate it, uhh, sickness must be purged.
Ah man you need to pay attention to the rejoining stuff some more. Can't remember how much is revealed in HW but you've kinda missed the mark.
That speculation is… interesting. I will hold my tongue, of course… but just you wait until you see the answers unfold later. It's next level.
I actually can't wait to get into your mind when you play Stormblood. Because it's good but in a different kind of good.

You really need to watch these once you've done 6.0 so you can know what we are thinking watching this 😏
