Lyse = Lease in English VO
I love how every trailer makes the viewer want to play new classes.
This exp was def kinda mixed for me. I do wish they focused solely on one major plot, instead of it being Ala Mhigo and the Eastern Areas. The content though is still top notch, though I much more prefer the story patches past 4.0 until 5.0. The trailer though did its job, got me super hyped esp because at this point I was a Highlander (freedoooom!).
Interestingly alot of people thought Lyse was a dancer, and assumed dnc would have been more meleeish (esp due to its ffxi iteration). The new jobs in this expac though was rdm/sam.
FOR DOMA!
They reimagined monk in this xpac so they spotlit them here while adding samurai. This is also where they introduce swimming which is why they spotlit all the water.
Stormblood is a very Asian themed expansion, with heavy Japanese themes, Chinese themes aaaaand Mongolian themes, but you'll have to play it to find out where that is :p
Lyse <3, her fighting style is unique to her seems a combine of Xing-Yi Chuan and Baqua Zhang. With acrobatics and spinning kicks.
Stormblood is really good. Some people criticize this a lot but i guess it is different opinions depending on how much invested you are in the building of the world. As this dives in a lot with the political positions between the Eorzean Alliance and the Garlean Empire. And i get that some people might be not so much interested in politics but i see it almost necessary since it builds a important road going forward with the MSQ for the future.
If you would compare this as a "filler expansion" then i wish that filler xpacs in WoW, like BfA and Cata had this level of quality to it. 😛
The way you say "potato in the water" just makes me smile. Some things are much funnier when said with certain accents.
Potato-chan and Watermelon-kun going under the sea for adventure, treasure, pineapples and to clean Watermelon-kun after all that time rolling around in Ishgard 🙂
I am still just sad we cannot get Lyse's outfit. Yoshi's reason is reasonable, but still is super sadge.
Stormblood is such an underrated expansion. I love it a lot and the music actually makes me tear up. When it was played on a recent trailer I just blew up in hype.
You should check out the FIRST original trailer of FFXIV. Maybe some questions you have will be answered, and more unanswered. 🙂
Gyr Abania: Middle East + North Africa + Indian subcontinent
Othard: Japan + China + Mongolia + Thailand
God I love that Stormblood theme, I still hum it regularly. It may not be the best in the game, but it's my favorite for sure.
Welcome to SB, Qauzii. I like to think of this as the slow burn expansion. Like ARR, it does a lot of foundation building for its payoffs. Also the aesthetic all around is just so good.
Stormblood is very east asian. It is not limited to Japanese.
the english voice acting only gets even better as you go : O some of my favorite performances are near the end of SB. o/ and it's pronounced "lease," just because it's different in different languages doesn't mean english "got it wrong" as some in chat said. its localized not just straight up translated, so any discrepancies between languages are all valid and JP is not the end all be all, since all languages (except cn and kr) are released at the same time.
I REALLY disliked Stormblood the first time I played it, I recently went back through it and it was so much fun. I guess at the time I wasn't keen on how insainly different it was to base and HW, but it really makes for a nice change of pace, and the Battles in SB are so good!
I enjoyed SB quite a bit when I first went thru it. While I wasn't too on board with the 4.0 narrative, I really liked 4.1 onwards. Great lead up to Shadowbringer. I also really enjoyed the content in SB. Fantastic dungeons, raids, trials, other side content, etc.. The zones are also really lovely. Kugane is one of my favorites aesthetically.
It pleases me to no end that you havent watched expansion updates until you get to the ingame content as many of them contain spoilers. SOOOO excited for you to see Shadowbringers and Endwalker's trailer when you get to those expansions!!!!
Jeez, that chat is so pushy. If you really want to see the story with JP voice acting then either replay the story using new game plus, or watch a Japanese only streamer. Either way, let the man play the game the way he wants to and quit being such insufferable bastards.
So, the character in the trailers and the like are representative of the player character, despite the warrior of darkness basically sharing the same aesthetics.
stormblood is such a good song. LOYALTY, UNITY, LIBERTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Wait is this the new class? XD
Context: EVERYONE thought it was teasing for dancer…so much so they actually released Dancer the following expansion because people wouldn't shut up about it xD
I love the Stormblood logo. Seeing the WoL in the Monk AF gear, Amano style, reminds me of the Spartacus TV show.
I can't wait for you to get to shadowbringers and react to that trailer. They won an award for best trail for an expansion in the last 15 years. Look forward to it :D. I still watch it to this day.
Stormblood is awesome! The dungeons and raids and the story were amazing! The main problem with it would be pacing imo. It can feel sluggish and it drags on at times, feeling scattered as a whole. While the execution could've been better, it was still enjoyable, so I hope you'll have some fun with this expansion xD
Quazii, the "storm of blood, born of blood, of our fallen brothers" leitmotif in this trailer is actually not the theme of Stormblood. The theme song is called "Revolutions" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmQm76wFfKk). However, this leitmotif is everywhere in stormblood it may as well be the theme.
it's like in HW where you hear the last bit of movement from "guide us o mighty fury" to the end of the trailer as a leitmotif, but "Dragonsong" is the theme song.
Also beware, the theme song video clip is always a minor spoiler, but they are always released pre-early access to garner hype and speculations, so it's safe to watch.
I personally think that despite the passing issues with storm blood, it had some great dungons and trials, and I love the lead up to shadowbringers, and it was good
dunno what your chat is smoking but it's "Lees" (like lease) not Li Se or Lee suh 😂
Dumb question but how/when do you see this trailer? I'm in the middle of Storm blood but haven't ever seen this.
Get ready to experience what is easily the worst expansion of FF14. Granted you will not experience most of what made this worse than Heavensward and Shadowbringers.
I am so looking forward to Ivalice and Rabanastre. I loved XII and Vagrant Story. Some of my favorite games from Squaresoft.
A lot of ff14 player consider stormblood the worst expansion but I dont think it's thatt bad it's just players expectations is WAAAYYY UP HIGH and so anything that is 75% of that is piss to them i think u'll enjoy it.
Have fun with the lamp post leap.
Ah Stormblood, my favorite expansion 🙂
The beginning was so slow, almost AAR slow but about 1/4 through it got a lot better
