I like the way they do it, where they add a bit more to the trailer, but gotta say... I would love it if some day they just dropped the full thing like BAM HERE IT IS.
If you're a long time FF fan, you know that the title "Warrior of Darkness" is something that has been teased for 30 years. To hear that line with the Crystal Tower in the back gave me the biggest chills.
@@jameslennie5203 Warrior of Darkness as term first appeared in FFIII and never again in a mainline title until XIV. It was part of the backstory of the game, that 4 Warriors of Darkness fought the light and saved the world. A Warrior of Darkness is not a Dark Knight.
@@jacobteague635 I know I thought that's what you were talking bout as I can't really find anything bout when warrior of darkness was first teased it just come up with ff14 when I tried looking for it
Other franchises trailers - *mix of excitement and disappointed sighs* Shadowbringers - *audiable orgasms* Best part is that the game is bloody good by itself.
We've found a god tier game and we want to spread the word to people playing shitty online games that they don't have to lower their standards for entertainment! That they can come home to Eorzea and make the world their oyster as The Warrior of Light/Dark.
@@17thknight Me and you come from the future with our eyes enlightened my friend. So glad this past year this game came to light. Else, I may not have found it. So happy with FFXIV and the team behind it. The community is wonderful as well.
Having gone through 5.0, I can say that this expansion did not disappoint me and overtook HW's spot as my favorite one. Coming back to watch these reaction videos still gives me chills.
I think [name redacted] is one of the best written villains in gaming. The charm, the swagger, the confidence! That final cutscene when the theme plays will always be one of my favourite cutscenes.
This was great, but Heavensward is still my favorite. The difference, I believe, is that ShB story is stronger on the "big endings", while HW is stronger at the "in-betweens". At least that's how I see it. There were many moments in ShB where I thought the story dragged on too much and nearly lost interest like I did with Stormblood. I never had that issue with HW, as it got my full attention from start to finish. Slowly learning the dark history between Dravania and Ishgard was so very interesting.
I was at this Fanfest, way in the back. Actually fairly quiet as I tend to be, just watching this in amazement. Chills going down my spine after each line. My jaw dropped at “Become the Warrior of Darkness.” Today is February 5th, the day of the FFXIV Annoucement Showcase stream. I hope I get to feel the same at whatever is to be revealed tonight.
I was there too! Was near the back on the left, around the 5th row in or so! Was sitting next to a guy and we theorized the job reveals and such and just geeked out. Im so upset covid took away the feeling of this, but Endwalker is less than 40-something days away now! See you on the moon ^^
I'm just here to comment that the fanfest 2023 is coming soon and we might see the 1st trailer for 7.0, I'm so excited since the last time we saw any reaction like this was pre-pandemic days and now, it will be back again for another banger reaction! Thank you Endwalker, even though we're just into 6.4. It has been a wild journey for the last 1 year and a half!
After years of casual gameplay, I’ve made it to Shadowbringers content. Wow. This is hands down the best mmo out there with the best story. As a father of two small children in mid-career, I’ll probably finish this expansion about the time the next comes out. That’s perfect for me.
Even after finishing 5.0, watching this trailer over and over again still feels awesome. Fun tidbit: the order in which the WoL changes classes is in order of the prequels' trailers. HW: warrior -> dragoon SB: monk -> samurai Just shows how thoughtful SE does things
I dont get people claiming the reaction was not good? Its been Ages since people Cheered that loud for any other expansion. Not even mentioning Blizzcon hahahaha. Funny how a MMORPG that failed, was laughed at is doing now, after One Guy (Yoshida Naoki) "teached" people to admit defeat and showed them 2 options. Try to squeeze money out of 1.0 and keep it running as long as possible. Or admit its trash, trashcan it, rework it. Now. Look what we got ourselves. A Giant MMORPG, that is still rising. That listens to community worries, wishes, and more. And look where the arrogant People are headed that only try to make investors happy, forgetting about their core. Glad I started ARR in Beta. Still playing. Still enjoying everything. And Naoki Yoshida is a down to Earth guy deserving every sucess possible as long as they keep their behaviour going as if it was. Cheers. See you in Shadowbringers, fellow Warriors of Darkness! :D
There's a difference of the overall reaction, and being respectful. Most people think there needs to be the over-reaction. Where people just freak out much more longer like E3/Smash Bros Nintendo Direct livestreams. People tend to forget that there are home. When you're at a live convention where they show it for the first time, you want to be quiet for the most part and react wholeheartedly when you are allowed to. Shadowbringers was probably the most hyped Expansion and it hasn't stopped being great.
"That listens to community worries" and World of Warcraft in the same sentence makes me cringe. Back to Warlords of Draenor I had a big problem with the guild I was in. They harassed me and they kicked me. After reporting and even sending screenshots of everything, the only answer I got was that they would do nothing at all. First, because they were too many players and second, their rules and policy didn't contemplate to punish it anymore. The GM that replied to me told me "I am sorry but just look for another guild". Please, don't compare both games as if they were at the same heights. It is an insult for the best videogames director and his development team.
Coming here after 5.3 and still remembering that as sb from the EU I had to wake up at the weirdest hour for this. And it was so worth it. Sitting there with my FC on discord,, watching the trailer and being so absolutely hyped that I dare say all of us went with a big grin about our day. FFxiv is my first MMORPG ( and besides a fire emblem game on the 3DS my first game in total ) and the community is such a reason I stayed. Kinda sad to think that because of corona we won't get a 6.0 Trailer this winter but I am glad Yoshi P and the others decided that safety for them, their workers and their players comes first.
I love coming back to watch this. The current state of the world won't stop us having a chance to enjoy something like this being revealed again. 5.3 looking good too!
@@sakabadger Thanks for posting this! I was there in Las Vegas on the left side of the stage too! Was so unbelievably hype, and am currently hyping myself up for the next fanfest!
i can't comment the official trailer. but I can here. I play this song every time I reach the end boss during MSQ roulette. fits every battle just fine to sum up the entire game
Here on February 2nd, 2021. Feeling nervous about announcement on 5th. No matter how much I try to prepare, I just still can't be ready for the hype of what new information in store. Looking forward to 6.0, but at the same time not ready to let go of Shadowbringers. Two years after this comment, my future me probably gonna reply the same thing LOL
Here on May 28th, 2021. About 2 weeks after the release of full trailer FFXIV: Endwalker which planned to be released on November 23rd, 2021. Do I still need to mention the crazy hype fans are feeling? No need? Okay. Keep updating future-me ;)
It's cool how this version of who brings shadow doesn't have as many vocals and is more distorted. I wonder if soken was still working on it or if they wanted to avoid spoilers?
At the time, they didn't have the full cutscene made. I don't even think they had announced Dancer yet at this point, hence why we didn't see that part either.
@@tsegchino342From what I understand, as a casual Final Fantasy player, there's some reactions midway because the reveal of characters and things shown reveal some new mechanics in the game which double as nods to other FF games. For example, the white haired guy with the white coat? On his back was a Gunblade - the signature weapon of the MC in FF8 and hence an introduction to some job class or something that uses the Gunblade. Having just bought the DLC myself, it's called the Gunbreaker, a new Tank class. As for other reactions, you'll have to note when you're talking about. Also, the MC switching to different armor/weapons in a cinematic is cool. Can't do it normally but each armor set was representative of the main showcased class in each DLC prior Shadowbringers - "Warrior" being from launch, Dragoon; from heavansward, Monk/Samurai from trailer/Stormblood, and now Dark Knight for Shadowbringers. (though I think Dark Knight was available in Heavansward. Probably revamped the class since then)
@@YoshiroPoh lots of fan favorite main characters from previous expansions some of whom where believed dead. The ability to switch classes without changing character is a big feature so having that in the trailer is awesome. In the previous expansions you were called the warrior of light, so hearing “become the warrior of darkness” is awesome.
Why not The jobs in particular were callbacks to what the WoL was in every expansion Archer for 1.0 Warrior for ARR Dragoon for Heavensward Monk for Stormblood Samurai for Stormblood as well, but for the Far Eastern section
People would've straight up lost their shit if it was the current full intro video.
Had some time on my hand recently, revisited FFXIV. If I afk in the menu I get greeted by the trailer's badassery.
I literally looked this up to see the reaction when Thancred said the thing he says
I like the way they do it, where they add a bit more to the trailer, but gotta say... I would love it if some day they just dropped the full thing like BAM HERE IT IS.
@@matdoosh SAME OMG
I just love the momment the WoL did that job change and people went wild
yeah that, and the moment people realized it was Thancred running up the stairs. Esp that one Thancred fan who went ultrasonic screaming his name
If you're a long time FF fan, you know that the title "Warrior of Darkness" is something that has been teased for 30 years. To hear that line with the Crystal Tower in the back gave me the biggest chills.
I've played them all, several times, but for some reason can't remember what it was teased from?
It first appeared in ff2 and It was Leon. Next appearence was 4 it was Cecil Harvey before he became a paladin
@@jameslennie5203 Cecil was a Dark Knight, a series staple job
@@jameslennie5203 Warrior of Darkness as term first appeared in FFIII and never again in a mainline title until XIV. It was part of the backstory of the game, that 4 Warriors of Darkness fought the light and saved the world. A Warrior of Darkness is not a Dark Knight.

I still get goose bumps watching people's reaction to the reveal. Man, what a great game. Shadowbringers was very excellent.
Whew, makes me chuckle when I think about how blizcon went, majorly hyped for this
ikr lol. all these cheers vs the meh's from diablo immortal XD
The support and hype the community has for ffxiv is hair raising. Great reaction and great video. Thanks for uploading this.

Two years later, Shadowbringers is everything we hoped it would be and so much more! Looking forward to Endwalker!
Having gone through 5.0, I can say that this expansion did not disappoint me and overtook HW's spot as my favorite one. Coming back to watch these reaction videos still gives me chills.

1 year later, this video still gives me hypes... And yes, I'm still online almost everyday.
man i love crowd reactions

Fun tidbit: the order in which the WoL changes classes is in order of the prequels' trailers.
HW: warrior -> dragoon
SB: monk -> samurai
Just shows how thoughtful SE does things
It's even better than that- It goes to ARR! (Archer/Bard)
@Swagmandias "I have enough rocks already"
@@warmech11 I thought it went as back as Archer (1.0), Warrior (ARR), Dragoon (HVW), Monk-Samurai (STB), then settling on Dark Knight (SHB)
I have no idea why, but when every time the crowd cheer i cry. Im a grown man and this gets me every time
Just gonna leave a comment 6 months later saying

Hey BlaVViax, did Shadowbringers live up to your hopes?
did you like it?
Greatest storytelling in MMO history right here
Glad they redid the trailer, much better intro now on home screen.

Gosh even the suffix that comes with the title is so epic
seeing this makes me tear up all over again.. man I can't wait for Endwalker
Ahh. Those were good times. I remember screaming my head off when I was in that audience. Hopefully I can do it again this year 😂
Phoenix Warrior I guess we can’t now :(
@@ItsKylos it is a possibility that they'll cancel it this year
i didn't see people as excited as this when blizzard reveal shadowbringe. . . .I mean Shadowlands during blizzcon.
I still got goosebump
The chills are unreal
Man, I wish WoW was still like this
this brought the shadow over my left eardrum
Waiting for 5.3 and still get hyped watching this!!
Sad NA fanfest 2020 was cancelled, but was for the better.
watch so many times still give me shivers
The girls going wild for Thancred lmao
gives me chills
I love coming back to watch this. The current state of the world won't stop us having a chance to enjoy something like this being revealed again. 5.3 looking good too!
Awesomesauce! :D
The cheers corresponds with my own excitement - Which hightens my emotional experience of the trailer to the nth degree...
EcchiDragon 80 word, that's why I wanted to get my own recording. The amount of energy was wonderful and now I have a way to relive it on demand.
@@sakabadger Thanks for posting this! I was there in Las Vegas on the left side of the stage too! Was so unbelievably hype, and am currently hyping myself up for the next fanfest!

I really hope the next fanfest is in Vegas again please
This trailer is why I main Dark Knight
This was Amazing to be part of! :D Also Hello! I saw your name also had badger in it!
i never had so much shiver just for a fuking teaser, god the goosbump!
We were robbed of this live in-person reveal for Endwalker because of COVID. Hyped for when they reveal 7.0 next Fan Fest!
i can't comment the official trailer. but I can here. I play this song every time I reach the end boss during MSQ roulette. fits every battle just fine to sum up the entire game
crowd reactions are way better than individual ones. Dragon ball super had some crazy good ones.
ahhh the great expansion of 2019 that rocked our worlds...
then came the *dark* times...
何回見ても鳥肌立つな…
man, i have no clue what it is. but when i see a reveal where people go ABSOLUTELY NUTS (like sephiroth for smash) i get the most intense chills.
*"Become what you must. Become the warrior of darkness."*
Honestly and deep down, we all relate to this statement in some way.
Chills ! Literally, chills !

yeah keep updating future you
Like ilidan say " You are not Prepared " and yes hell we Where not Prepared for the hit in the gust
in two months time we will prob get another teaser like this for the next expansion
It's cool how this version of who brings shadow doesn't have as many vocals and is more distorted. I wonder if soken was still working on it or if they wanted to avoid spoilers?
If this was the full version with Thancred calling the mystery figure by name, the crowd would have gone ballistic
Square Enix fricking killed it man
I WAS THERE
Vocalist for the song they used is from Godhead. He also voice acts in the game too. Jason Miller I think is his name?
imagine 7.0 … oh my god
Samurai
[cricket chirps]
Good times. 😀
Did I just saw a black mage’s mace?
why? you guys don't have phone? lul
THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!
jon moxley
Where its the name the user shadow brindar?
Did they skip the Minfinia reveal in this?
At the time, they didn't have the full cutscene made. I don't even think they had announced Dancer yet at this point, hence why we didn't see that part either.
Any one know the name of the gunblade the new class weilds an how i can possibly get a prop of it or make one?
frank perez I dunno if you played yet but the gunblade is called Lionheart.
I might be noob.... can someone care to explain what just happeneded here, ppl reacting to certain things and character who are they?
It's a reaction to the trailer of a new expansion of FF14, when it was first reveal quite a while ago.

No one cheers the when he turns into Samurai, dps is sad.
Samurai is boring
He didn't get many cheers as a Monk either lol. But hey, that all changed when he turned into an edgelord.
wow, the reveal trailer is way worse than the final trailer.
why tf did you guys cheer when he changed classes lmao
Why not
The jobs in particular were callbacks to what the WoL was in every expansion
Archer for 1.0
Warrior for ARR
Dragoon for Heavensward
Monk for Stormblood
Samurai for Stormblood as well, but for the Far Eastern section
Because those class changes represent entire xpacs people loved. Not hard to believe when the company making the stories has been at it since 1987.
Because it's cool seeing a game mechanic being canonized in the lore through a trailer.
I'm really glad they changed the trailer to be better than this version. This one is all over the place and not an even flowing story.
If it's not the full trailer, it's mediocre.
Huge cap. At the time when this was just teased it was hype AF. Had to have been there.
"Square enix"
*everyone screams*
Really?
