Stormblood 4.5 Finale Reaction! Pt. 1 | First Time FFXIV Playthrough



First time playthrough and reaction of the Stormblood 4.5 finale!

Well, we finally made it. The end of my Stormblood journey. On the precipice of Shadowbringers. I’m incredibly excited to see what the finale of Stormblood is going to bring! This patch was very long so I had to split it into 2 parts. I hope you enjoy!

  1. 4:30 "What better way to finish off a patch than with the prospect of chemical warfare and war crimes? CHA-CHING!" You kill me, bro.

    11:33 "She may be an ungrateful stray, but she's MY ungrateful stray. And I'll not see her buried before I am." You go, Matoya! One of her all time best lines.

    27:40 You are such a dork with Cirina, I love it.

    29:47 5,000 yalms aka 5,000 yards, 15,000 feet, nearly 3 miles high. I'm not sure how advanced tech is in this world, but I doubt airships can fly that high. I say we're good.

    31:58 "Hien was calling for a fireball!?" Yeah, weren't we lucky?

    43:00 "Unexpected is putting it lightly, I think." Agreed. This was one of the craziest curveballs in the game and I loved it.

    47:40 It IS just a role. Varis is just playing the part of the Emperor. Sick burn by Solus and you can see how mad Varis is.

    51:50 Solus is the best of the Joker giving godlike powers.

    54:10 Remember in ARR when all we had to worry about was primals and the Empire? Those were the days.

    1:21:25 Nanamo The Burn Ultimate!

  2. All of the Garlean Legatus' wear armor/helmets and have a measure of 'voice modulation' built in. Even though the VA has changed, you can tell if you listen to him… he clearly has a voice modulator. I made the assumption that they do that to have the commanders seem more imposing.

    17:05 — You're gooood XD

    30:00 — I think a yalm is similar to 1 meter… and I think its save to assume, the garleans havent yet have aircrafts that fly that high – otherwise it wouldnt be the target elevation 😛

    32:52 — Remember, this is something people had months to speculate upon XD Gaius always wore that helmet – but that white mask was part of it. I didnt see it either, but then again, I didnt play this part when it was current soooo… I guess we both get a pass for not guessing it XD

    33:30 — Never assume you've truely killed somebody in this game if you havent checked their vital systems and burned the remains XD Also, Gaius was seen to be standing in that final cutscene after you made your exit from the exploding Praetorium, saying somelike "and here my conquest ends, in flames and ashes". As for his voice: in ARR we never hear him speak without his helmet on (and we never saw his face for that matter…), so his voice was always distorted. Of course, he, too, has a new voice actor but as least in his case we can explain the change somewhat 😛

  4. If you think about it, Nanamo was incredibly courageous when she faced Varis like that. Not only she's several times smaller than him (I believe Varis is canonically over 7ft tall and the average height of a lalafell it's 3ft), but also, out of all the leaders, she's the only one who can't fight. Everyone in that room, including the WoL, can hold themselves in a fight, but Nanamo is 100% defenseless if something goes wrong… and yet she stood up to him without being intimidated one bit. Gotta love her for that.
