Fun little tidbit, all the jobs the WoL used in the cinematic for Shadowbringers were all in order based on the other trailers. So, in order:
1.0: Archer
A Realm Reborn: Warrior
Heavensward: Dragoon
Stormblood: Monk, then Samurai
And finally, rounding it off was the new poster child job, Dark Knight
WoL is a Archer. For both the memes and the canon.
First trailer with voice acting.
It only stuck me much later- when our WoL standin fights Zenolidibus in the trailer here, we win, even though we actually lost in the game because Crystal bro picked the worst possible time to make another grab for us.
Though, this trailer actually came out before 4.5.
I'm not quite certain, but I suspect you two liked the trailer. 😜
one year. how many months have come and gone since Recovering WoW Podcaster Tries Weeb Game…
i waited a year for this moment. for the duo that stood together against the storm…
for the lads that were called…
The Grinding Gear babyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
it's been said many many times, but you really can't overhype shadowbringers 🙂 enjoy the expansion, i know you will, knowing that you're already enjoying it 🙂 when 5.0 ends, i hope you'll revisit this trailer and find yourself understanding it more as you have the context of everything that happened during this trailer. trust me it gets better and better
He might have to watch the previous titles screens 😅
Wall of FFXIV cinematics after EW?
My guys. I saw the first 20 or so seconds of this trailer – up to "How long have I waited for this moment?" – as a Youtube ad a few years ago, and it is the sole thing that pushed me to try Final Fantasy. From just that snippet, from that small taste of Shadowbringers, I KNEW I'd be in for a phenomenal experience, and it lived up in every way.
When I reached the end of Stormblood and went and watched that trailer, my reaction was a lot like Garrett's. Just immediate clapping and feeling hype as shit. And to this day I still occasionally go back and watch it. It's an absolute work of art and I'm so stoked that you're finally here!!
God FUCKING damn I love Shadowbringers
I can not stress enough how speechless this trailer made me when I saw it. I watched it ten times before streaming, picking it apart for clues. You are gonna hear this song in your head rent free forever now.
As a very large horned Demon hunter said… you are not prepared…
I think you guys would get a lot from a rewatch of this trailer after you finish the expansion! Ever since ShB and continuing onto EW, the trailers have a lot more story content in them rather than only showing off locations/jobs. It’s interesting to see with hindsight what held up, what didn’t, and in some cases where the trailer just straight up lies to you about the story, and I think you two would get a kick out of that.
Although Endwalker is a brilliant conclusion, nothing ever quite touched Shadowbringers for me.
The best story ever told in a video game, hands down.
Yeah, gotta admit from time to time I too miss logging in to "AHHHHHHHHH! RRRRIDING HOOOOOOOME!"
The song is just so incredible.
I saw this in Japanese before I started playing, so I spent most of FF14 thinking Y'shtola was going to turn evil and destroy Gridania.
Yeah, the ShB trailer was so awesome when it came out; everyone was trying to figure out what it all meant. Once you guys finish Shadowbringers you need to rewatch the trailer because it's amazing how much your appreciation of it changes once you finish the story.
Lost count how many times I’ve watched the trailer or listened to this song…never gets old!! Excited for you both!🎉
That thumbnail was gold 😂
I started during ShB and I /still/ miss the Shadowbringers opening menu, ngl. There something about the gut-punch of RIIIIDING HOOOOOOOME that hits you before you even have any context as to what it insinuates! And I love it. Holy heck do I love it.
For the entire length of Shadowbringers, I would play the cinematic trailer every time I logged in. And STILL I got goosebumps when I saw you guys watch it. That's how amazing it is ♥
I SO love watching peoples reaction to this trailer so it was an honour to see you!! thank you so much for sharing. What an incredible trailer and intro.. to give the spirit of Shadowbringer. .THANK YOU!
Everytime I watch Shb trailer, It reminded me to repair my equipments before entering battle.
That guitar still gives me chills 3 years later haha
1:33 — I see XD Garrett, this is your expansion XD
The most amazing part of this is that Garrett still hasn't bought Endwalker yet.
Too bad the ingame trailer had bad audio mixing. One would normally expect that version to have the highest quality.
The hair on my skin was standing up watching this trailer the first time…even today, I don’t log in untill i watch this trailer
Shadowbringers is the expansion.
It's hard to put into words how much Shadowbringers had changed XIV. How much it's brought to the store, community, etc.
There's a reason why it's everyone's favorite
this is the coolest trailer for this game ever made holy shit doesnt matter how many times I watch this, still get the chills
The three stages of the Shadowbringers (and Endwalker) trailer
1) you have no prior knowledge and see out of context – "this looks cool, I assume these people are important, good music"
2) you've played up to to that point in the MSQ – "wow, this is amazing, I'm hyped, what are they doing there, why is this happening, what does this mean, warrior of darkness whaaaa–"
3) you've finished the MSQ for that expansion and understand even minute details and foreshadowing – "weeping incoherently"
Shadowbringers is something that you will not come out of the same as you went in…
Be prepared, this trolley has no brakes! ♥
