FFXIV Lore- What it Means to be a Warrior



Warrior won the previous job poll, so here it is! I’m really happy to have gotten this done before the launch of Endwalker. I really look forward to sharing that and many more adventures with you all in the future!

  1. The Warrioir truly is the best Tank there is. True story, I was running The Cutters Cry once as a Warrior and finished off the final boss on my own. It's that badass if you know what your doing 🙂

  2. Great content as always. warrior seems like a fun job and after watching this video I really wanna play it. I wonder tho, I've leveled PLD to 80. what's the difference between PLD and WAR from a gameplay perspective?

  3. A theory, looking at this – I have to wonder if things such as the Darkside of Dark Knights, Inner Dragons for Dragoons, and Inner Beasts for warriors, are just – different manners of drawing on the same source (that not just being the person's personal Aether) – some darker center that finds different expression in different cultures.

  4. Warrior means pressing one button 50% of the time and getting dopamine from every fell cleave sound. It means using the fell cleave sound as a ringtone, It means charging into shit and scream UNGA BUNGA while using nascent flash + chaotic cyclone to heal urself for 3 times ur helth.

  5. This would explain why Raubahn could take getting his arm sliced off and still coming for more from Ilberd. Guy was tapping into his inner beast in combat. xD

    On a serious note, I hope we get an offshoot DPS class of the Warrior job that fights like Raubahn using two swords and flaming aether combined with their blade work, like him and Ilberd, that devastates the battlefield with their fiery rage.

  6. Thank you for pointing out that the warrior is very much lucid and strategic in spite of their savage rage. That's the key to what makes them so horrifically dangerous – they are indeed beasts that can hit like a freight train, but also clever and temperamental, strategic and understanding of both their and their foes' strengths. If I had to speculate, the original tribe was probably taken out bit by bit, systematically and through extensive levels of underhanded scheming. That the warrior tradition of old was intentionally orchestrated to be forgotten, as Eorzean powers throughout all times feared their potential.

    The uncompromising soul of raw, primordial humanity. Best fucking job, accept no substitutes.

  7. I've levelled all the jobs to 80, but after the events of Shadowbringers, when tanking, I take up the axe. I like to think I wield the beast of a hero, from a very distant shard. Enjoy Endwalker my favourite scribe.
