Heavensward was the only expansion where the title screen had a Prelude that was significantly changed in tone (until, arguably, Dawntrail). It's probably a big reason why.
Unpopular opinion: my favorite is actually Stormblood. While it's not the typical style for Final Fantasy, I absolutely love it's sense of militancy and impetus to strive against all the odds, especially since it's the expansion I'm currently levelling in.
I feel that SB probably has the most FF title out of all the expansions, lol. Since it converts so well the emotion and the drive of the game/expansion. Like how you got a meteor for FF VII or in XII, not every story has to be about a main character, and a main character can very well be a war or a whole classroom. Not saying the other expansions' titles aren't FF, they are just less FF than SB title.
I finally purchased the game on Jan 6 2023 I started playing the game on free-trial mode in Aug 2022 I got chills when I saw the main menu of endwalker currently at stormblood(I just gone RULES OF NATURE with susano)
Heavensward really is the rising action point of the 1.0 to Endwalker story arc and version of Prelude on the HW title screen really hammers that home, in retrospect. There is a feeling of palpable tension in it.

Watching this already brings so much nostalgia even though I only started at Feb 2022 (Patch 6.05) and now it's only a few months before Dawntrail drops so I'm very excited!
Honestly it's a shame we lost the 1.0 title screen. It feels so classic Final Fantasy with simply the logo on a simple background, options, and Prelude. Don't get me wrong, the ones after it were all great too but it'd actually be something I'd enjoy as an option.
I honestly sorta miss 1.0. You it was terribly optimized, had no real endgame for a while, and was a chore to play at times, but there was a certain charm underneath all that grime. Would I give up what we have to go back? Hell no. But I wouldn't mind being able to visit once in a while.
Holy fuck sensus?!?! Been so long since a video! was obsessed with your rogue videos back in day! Good see you’re still alive! I don’t play ff14 but good to know your enjoying it
I didn't even know that ff14 had different login screens until i finished the trial and bought Endwalker. It was a pleasant surprise, I had to know if the other expansions had one.
The fact that it is pretty much another world entirely is why I dislike ShB, tbh. If it was its own thing, I'd like it a lot more. But it stops the story I was actually interested in - the war with Garlemald - to do something completely different. I am also the one person in the world who dislikes Emet-Selch. He's just Omega, but whinier.
@@mrlionX Which part? Stopping the ongoing story for what is essentially a sidequest is simply a fact. As for Emet-Selch being a whinier version of Omega, I stand by it 100%. Both of them are alone and want to go home. The difference is that Omega isn't a petulant little shit that never shuts the fuck up. I do like Eulmore a lot, and I think the Scions really come into their own in ShB. But limiting Garlemald to "elsewhere, meanwhile" and leaving stuff like Dalmasca, Bozja and Werlyt to side content is a grave mistake.
Oh man, they went so hard with the Endwalker one, I haven't played on that expansion, so this is my first time hearing it and I have goosebumps all over, the visuals are also a great touch, by far my favourite of all these.
i started playing in patch 5.3. The first time being greeted by the shadowbringers title screen filled me with a sense of nostalgia even though i haven't played it at that time. Idk how to explain the feeling any other way besides that but what a journey it was so far. so excited for dawntrial
Endwalker is my absolute favorite of the bunch it’s just the TALES OF LOSS AND FIRE AND FAITH along with the title screen and the sun on the edge of the moon
@@player554 As you can see, if you really pay some attention, after a looooooong observation with your body and soul (it's very demanding), and then, only then, after a long training and so maybe you'll get...that here, in this place, in this time, in this universe, there's another one. Yes, another one, I afraid. God forbid me, there's another one. May we have peace on our souls, my brother in Christ, because we have here a case of another one.
@@player554 Well, I like the game, but I don't think you are wrong. I think they play too safe and gets boring after some time, at least for me. It's just the same shit all the time with new skin.
iirc, the developers stated that the Endwalker Title Screen was hard to make at the time, as it required moving large objects on screen, which they hadn't done in a title screen before. It's really good that they went with it though.
Played this game so much right when shadowbringers came out really enjoyed it just didn't have much time to play it after a while so I stopped playing really sucked because it was such an epic game
Hey Justin, yeah I've been around but just haven't been making videos. Played and streamed a bit of WoW throughout BFA/WoW Classic/early Shadowlands. I decided to take a break from WoW back in March since Shadowlands was kind of a huge let down for me and made the switch to FFXIV. I definitely didn't completely quit WoW and I'll probably get back into it if they release something that looks cool and makes the game worth playing again. But for now, I'm playing FFXIV and loving it (outside of the crazy queue times that came with the new expansion's launch lol). Highly recommend checking it out if you're ever looking for a new MMO to try if you haven't yet.
@@SensusYT honestly miss the rogue guide videos and would look for u if I ever felt like playing rogue again for a patch, I was curious about FF but I've never played a FF game before, but also hear the pvp in it is pretty bad
@@121WoWfreak Thanks Justin, and when it comes to FF14 PvP vs. WoW PvP I'd definitely say WoW's better even in its current state as things sit right now. So FF14 has a few different PvP modes including Frontlines (Battlegrounds), The Feast (4v4 Arenas), and Rival Wings (MOBA style game-mode). The Feast is the current competitive mode and has a PvP ladder and seasonal awards but the problem is it's role restricted meaning you have to have 1 tank/1 healer/1 melee DPS/1 range DPS on your team so you can't just go in with 4 DPS for example. But the nice thing is stats are synced in PvP so everyone's on the same playing-field and it does have solo queue so you can just queue up for ranked PvP and get queued in with a team. However, in patch 6.1 (the first major patch of Endwalker) they're gonna be removing The Feast and replacing it with a new competitive mode called Crystal Conflict which will be similar to the Overwatch Payload game-mode and it actually seems like it'll be pretty solid. But yeah outside of just PvP there are a ton of fun things to do in FF14 (Extreme Trials, Savage Raids, Ultimate Raids, Solo Deep Dungeons, Treasure Hunts, etc.) which is something I really like about it.
@magicmaciej99 sadly it boots on the most recently launched expansion you can change to the others but it only lasts till you close ff14 and when you reopen you boot on the most recent expansion again.
I was dating a new chick one time and she just got her australian sheppard puppy spayed. She was zonked out, had a cone on and I had my headphones playing a realm reborn, and the whiterun music from skyrim, and secunda, and let the puppy listing to the music while I was on the floor with her recovering.
i immediately bought the game in 2021 when some friends i had made during quarantine back in 2020 had asked me to play with them, because "bunny boys were coming." (and my fursona is a bunny.) so i found that the full game was on sale on the PlayStation for $15, and i immediately was welcomed with Shadowbringers title screen. i made a bunny girl st the time and over the course of the year, i completed ARR. i took a few breaks in 2022 because life was being difficult and just about a few weeks ago started shadowbringers finally. i don't really talk to the friends i initially started with anymore or any of the people in the FC i joined but its been a hell of an experience and i can't wait for more. 😊
Yeah, I mean the nice thing about Rogue is it's always solid in PvP. But I'm just not a huge fan of Shadowlands in general right now Aziz. Might be back later on in the expansion or next expansion though so we'll see what happens. :)
I have Zero Vested Interest or Time in Final Fantasy 14 and so I have no connection to this game outside of it being a game in the Overall Final Fantasy Franchise with that being said all of these "Themes" sound like generic Final Fantasy music not bad just not anything memorable which is saying something because I've listened to actual music in Game and there are some genuinely top tier songs in the game
It shouldn't be possible to feel this emotional over godsdamned title screens
[ Sighs in KH3. ]
But I definitely agree. Even the change from 1.0 to 2.0 was really emotional due to the orchestral swell.
The Endwalker title screen is by far my favourite. It gives me the sense of accomplishment of all we did up to this point

@@OmegaEnvych I legitimately stood up and looked up as if its a national anthem just to honor the game 😆
This song is a masterpiece
It's really that grandiose
it gives us really good final fantasy vibes for some reason
Heavensward has this sense of something really epic coming that none other brings to me, it feels otherwordly next to the others.
It’s so good it gives me Batman vibes.
Well it isn't the best expansion without reason

As of Patch 7.1, you can now choose which expansion's title screen you want when starting the game or sync it with your MSQ progress.

Real reborn is just Goosebumps
