First time reacting to the Final Fantasy 14 1.0 trailer!
I can’t believe I’ve managed to get to Shadowbringers without even knowing this existed! But finally I watched it on stream right after the Shadowbringers trailer! I hope you enjoy!

First
I thought I saw you watch this before ?
I'm glad you decided to watch this! Thanks to whoever suggested you do!
ahh yes….. the days before yoshi p
Yep! It's fun trailer
I can tell these "levequests" are going to be pretty massive going forward!
Yes I blame your community for not spamming you right after you went to Keeper of the Lake. Imagine the ff community not spamming to watch core react content. What were we thinking?
I advise you to remember this trailer later down the road. It's worth it. Even in the shb trailer calls back to it 🙂
This trailer is of the First, the "you" here is Ardbert, unlike the future trailers. The NPCs you see in the trailer ARE the Warriors of Darkness, the Elezen (male) BLM, the Roe PLD (MRD in this CS), Lala WHM, & Miqo'te BRD. The female Elezen is also one of their friends, but her story is told after doing all of the Role Quests in Shadowbringers.
The only continuity error is that the map says Eorzea, however everything else is accurate to the First, including the Roe innkeeper. The visions Ardbert sees are of the Source, with the Garlean ships and the Primal explosion. This is because they decided to incorporate most of this trailer into ShB and during 1.0, the story was not planned out this far, whereas ARR planned out the framework of the story up to Endwalker.
Now 7.0 is an entirely new story arc, who knows what'll happen?…
This was when healers had Blizzard 2. Good times.
The party of the warriors of darkness where based on these characters. in the battle, you have the lala healer and the tank, the elezen lady vanished as far as I know. The Mi'qote became the archer and I think the elezen male became the black mage. It's not them, but it is based on them. The Agrius crash broke some kind of magical barrier, summoning was really hard until then.
3:05 Still classes at this point, not jobs yet I don't think. They're still sprouts. Yeah, conjurers used to be able to bless their party members' weapons with the elements. You also saw her (the conjurer) use an ice move.
6:48 Nah, these are the Warriors of Darkness from Heavensward, except with them being on Eorzea. That's the elezen black mage who was with them. He was wearing the black mage hat with the eye covering so he's hard to recognize without it.
7:30 Yes, the elezen girl was a gladiator in this cutscene No, she doesn't appear in Heavensward with the rest of them, though, it's a mystery. The archer/bard was the catgirl. Remember she shot Alisaie with the poisoned arrow and then was surprised to see Alphi before realizing he was a boy?
9:40 Gotta think of it in terms of the time period it took place in. Even in ARR Mor Dhona, where they went, was the max level area with some of the toughest outdoor enemies in the game. That levequest to kill the morbol would've been something only the most seasoned adventurers could handle, and you could tell these guys weren't quite there yet. They succeeded, but they took some hits.
And again, obligatory comment from the stream!
Ayooo it's your character's trailer!
Well the Bahamut cinematic was the end of 1.0, so the time between the 1.0 opening cinematic and that one was very short, relatively speaking. I was there when the servers went down, i was fighting the imperials at the Battle of Cartenau, and the servers went down, and they played the Bahamut cinematic; like FUCK i was blown away. What a time to be alive. THen later, they reuploaded the bahamut cinematic with more added on tot he end; to make way for ARR. Im so glad I was alive to experience this game from the beginning, what a journey.
But yes, you are totally right; the trailer is very indicative of the game; no real direction or over arching point, mysterious vague stuff happening; versus End of an Era, which was a very thought out, passion driven narrative experience. Yoshi P is the factor; he came in and saved a dying ship and gave the game focus and direction.
THAT BEING SAID, when you get through Shadowbringers, my biggest recommendation in this game is to level 4 roles (magical dps, physical dps, tank, healer) and do the Shadowbringers role quests and the bonus quests afterward (before continuing to 5.1). Trust me. My favorite quests tbh, with my favorite character. THEN go back and rewatch this cinematic 😛
