First time playthrough and reaction of Stormblood 4.4!
4.3 ended in emotional fashion, eventually leading into the pure bizarre.. as we met Shadowhunter out in The Burn and saw the dead come back to life. Hope you enjoy!

1:35:50 "I thought we were going to get some answers; we're just getting more questions!" Yup 😀 As with 3.4 and 3.5, the 4.4 and 4.5 patches are all about setting up for the next expansion. I don't want to oversell it, but buckle up, Shadowbringers is quite the ride!
Mist Dragon is a reference to the first boss from Final Fantasy IV, including the whole NOT attacking the mist form. It's also probably the single hardest regular dungeon boss in the game.
1:15:53 "Little sun . . ." the Burn (Ultimate)
THROW WIDE THE GATES
Imagine skipping the recaps! I love them.
I had to do the Sadu fight a few time because I’m bad at the game and I got so sick of “in death do our souls sing!” Lol
THROW WIDE THE GATES ! o/
Hold on to your butts, as they said in Jurassic Park! aaaaa!
You're so close to my favourite expansion! Can't waitt. Now would be a good time to be wary of people spoiling because you really don't want to be spoiled for ShB.
Solus is certainly one of the characters in FFXIV.
I’m sure you will get your answers once you throw wide the gates.
Some various comments:
– wall-to-wall pulls is basically the meta nowadays
– mist dragon was a party killer when first released, and people would timeout the dungeon trying to beat it. it has been nerfed.
– when readers/viewers/players know something but the characters do not, that is known as 'dramatic irony'
53:00 And THAT is why we learn to fly. Elite Marks will not attack you when you are at a certain altitude higher than they are.
I live for the side-eye Y'shtola gives WoL when Magnai starts in on her.
Sadu is such a babe
This is definitely one of my most favorite patches, Sadu, The Burn (Savage), people dropping like flies for unknown reasons, Solus, so good.
I love that dreamy voice being called to us 😍 1:32:50
18:03 The entrance to the Burn is such an atmospheric delight.
49:00 I loved your little routine with Sadu's honey I'm home thing.
1:15:55 And now you have experienced The Burn (Savage), courtesy of Y'shtola. As an added bit of fun you can talk to Y'shtola after the face. She tells you that this is not the first spontaneous marriage proposal she's gotten (as if it would be she's hot), and oddly enough far from the worst.
1:23:50 You've played the game long enough to know meetings go in two ways. Basic, or horrendous. "They can't drop a bomb before 4.5, right? RIGHT!?" rofl "What can the game throw at me at this point? I've seen it all." Even more rofl.
1:26:37 Pray return to the Waking Sands?
1:31:40 Welcome to Shadowbringers. =-)
1:39:45 It's our BFF Uri. Haven't seen him since he gave us his patented Fordola Fixer.
1:52:30 It's our best boi! You are in for a TREAT, my friend.
1:56:25 He already created a Calamity. Remember the Seventh and Bahamut? Now he wants the Empire to caught ANOTHER one.
2:02:02 Poor boy looks like his head is about to asplode.
2:03:35 Another streamer I like nicknamed this patch Memes to Screams. The mood shift is real.
Oh boy, it's about to get so good.
With that war table cutscene and everything after, you are officially on the on-ramp to Shadowbringers. And it's a hell of a rollercoaster ride.
Man I forgot how good 4.4 was, and how much happens. The fainting of our friends, yes, but also seeing Solus for the first time, and Black Rose's first mentions.. things are heating up!
Here.
We.
Go.
You are really zipping through this content! You're officially on the roller coaster lol Shit just gets crazier and crazier lol Glad to see you enjoying the ride
I can't think of anything I want to say other than hyping what has already been hyped to all hell, so I'll just say I'm continuing to enjoy watching!
That Sadu & Magnai section is just the icing on the cake for Stormblood for me. I really love the Steppe ❤
Damn I forgot how good this patch was… right now even I am at the edge of my seat 😂
17:55 – This dungeon has an amazing soundtrack, wish it'd show up on duty roulette more often
52:11 – I wish I had come back for her insights more often. In hindsight, they did an amazing job!
1:16:15 – And that's when we all pledge our souls to Yshtola
1:31:50 – I was so looking foward to this part again!! Can't wait for the Shadowbringers playthrough!
1:52:25 – Totally forgot about that cutscene! I missed that grumpy bastard!!❤
I love your adventures so much. Its so good
29:39 We as players know stuff. Our character doesn't know.
"I don't understand what happened there" yeahhh that about sums up my experiences with the dragon boss, even years later :p
Soak in every scene Solus is in. Savour it
"I came looking for answers but i only got more questions!"
Welcome to Shadowbringers 😎
1:46 — Prisoner exchange 😉 Also, I like those intros 😀
24:07 — Same reason I always get frozen by it: you kill the adds and wait for the boss to respawn again. If you hit the tornado thingy, you get frozen in place 🙂
25:37 — You have a good healer there 😀 Also, do your healer a favor and always stay close to them, no matter how big the arena. Always. Their AOE heals wont hit you otherwise and at this stage in the game, its (almost) all healers do: AOE heals. So hug your healers, they will thank you ^.^
56:31 — Seriously, why havent you already unlocked flying in the area?? o.O
1:00:59 — You… forgot your dots…
1:09:33 — Welcome to the world of a healer: if you team f**s up, you have to clean up the mess XD Also… you never focus a tank first. In these duties, your order is healer, dps, than tanks 😛 I mean, you can burn them down but unless you want to repead the experiance, playing it save might be best. And if you put your main heal-target in focus, you have his health bar always in sight (useful in groups so you always have the tanks health in sight) and can switch targets faster.
1:23:42 — Cutscene-PTSD XD XD XD
2:02:08 — So much about your prediction that these cutscenes would only nice and easy-going XD XD XD Shadowbringers, here he comes ^.^
Make sure to do your blue quests before you hop into shb! Get those aether currents and important story stuff (・ω・)
51:54 Check back in with Grandma every so often. She gets new prophecies that might interest a Traveler such as yourself.
you do a better job at figuring whats going on from the foreshadowing (usually lol).
Also, this is about when things like…. GET GOING. If you didnt enjoy ffxiv before…..you definitely will now LOL.
That creepy music from the Black Rose scene is also the original Mor Dhona music from 1.0, to give you an idea of the vibe it had LOL. Cant wait to see the next patch :3
4.4 is where I stopped being a dirty skipper
1.15.50 the moment known to all as "The Burn Savage"
Solus is the guy you will love. Hoping you do the next part fast . Because its a great patch
The calling part reminded me of the second boss of Ala Mhigo
Your crush on Steppe women is so cute lol
4.4 to 4.56 really is one of my favorite stretches of MSQ in the entire game.
Whelp, here you are. You stand on the edge of a precipice. Once you step over it, there is no turning back, for everything from here on is almost nonstop revelations and surprises, even during the moments of calm. With no forced time gaps of waiting for patches and expansions, 4.5 is really where the story ramps up all the way to the final steps of Endwalker. And damn near every little arc just keeps adding layers and every patch keeps getting better.
Stand tall, my friend.
That creepy music used at the camp scene used to be the 1.0 Mor Dhona theme. I think it's called Tears for More Dhona?
Excited to see you inch closer towards Shadowbringers.
