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.
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.
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
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.
@@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 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!
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?
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 ;)
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
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.

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.

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
The support and hype the community has for ffxiv is hair raising. Great reaction and great video. Thanks for uploading this.

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

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)
man i love crowd reactions
Crimson Liberator
Dark Betrayer
Gosh even the suffix that comes with the title is so epic

i had been watching these many times, but its still give me goosebumb
April 2020 and my GOD that gave me chills even to this day
Glad they redid the trailer, much better intro now on home screen.
I still got goosebump
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
Greatest storytelling in MMO history right here
This was Amazing to be part of! :D Also Hello! I saw your name also had badger in it!
The chills are unreal
i didn't see people as excited as this when blizzard reveal shadowbringe. . . .I mean Shadowlands during blizzcon.
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!
gives me chills
this brought the shadow over my left eardrum
watch so many times still give me shivers
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.
Waiting for 5.3 and still get hyped watching this!!
Sad NA fanfest 2020 was cancelled, but was for the better.
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!
Hearing so many people cheer to see that Thancred is ok is just a big laugh lol
Man, I wish WoW was still like this
何回見ても鳥肌立つな…
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?
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 really hope the next fanfest is in Vegas again please
The girls going wild for Thancred lmao
Chills ! Literally, chills !
i never had so much shiver just for a fuking teaser, god the goosbump!
I live in Vegas and I WILL be at the 2023 FanFest!
Still, to this day, peak MMO fiction
Vocalist for the song they used is from Godhead. He also voice acts in the game too. Jason Miller I think is his name?
This trailer is why I main Dark Knight

yeah keep updating future you
If this was the full version with Thancred calling the mystery figure by name, the crowd would have gone ballistic
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.
*"Become what you must. Become the warrior of darkness."*
Honestly and deep down, we all relate to this statement in some way.
ahhh the great expansion of 2019 that rocked our worlds...
then came the *dark* times...
in two months time we will prob get another teaser like this for the next expansion
Where its the name the user shadow brindar?
Did I just saw a black mage’s mace?
Like ilidan say " You are not Prepared " and yes hell we Where not Prepared for the hit in the gust
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.
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.
I WAS THERE
why? you guys don't have phone? lul
imagine 7.0 … oh my god
I might be noob.... can someone care to explain what just happeneded here, ppl reacting to certain things and character who are they?

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.
