We'll be kicking off our Endwalker adventure on the 16th of June (2023, just in case you're watching this in the future) over on Twitch! I'll be uploading more Shadowbringers moments to RUclips soon, including the rest of 5.3, the Eden raids, theorycrafting for Endwalker and more. Thanks for watching & enjoying the content!
Check out the 6.0 benchmark trailer. its pretty epic too
I wonder.. did you even notice the voice of the Narator in the trailer?
I’m not gonna lie. One thing I never get tired of, is watching people experience FFXIV for the first time and seeing their reactions.
I know right, glad to see im not only one who does that haha
Man, look at Andy being proficient in Eorzean font with being able to recognise Thavnier and Old Sharleyan and immediately homing onto Estinien's dialogue! The journey pays off!
5.3: It can't get any better...
5.4: Surely it can't get any better...
Us: Oh, you sweet innocent child...
Oh yeeeaaaaah.
5.4 was pretty bad tho. It felt at the same time rushed and empty. The solution to the tempering problem was really really rushed, and solved using a deus ex machina AND it also hadthe fake drama of "oh no the pc burned before we could get the formula" but Raha saw it and remembered with his photographic memory. The Admiral stuff felt really rushed and had no real impact, sadly.
@@lucasm4790 Hard disagree
@@vaidenkelsier7757 Well, I personally felt horrible about it. Specially since I thought 5.3 was the perfect ending, we could forget about the empire and I would be satisfied. I came back for 5.4 and I felt regret coming back for that
@@lucasm4790 It's much less rushed than you expect. The Tempering problem has been touched upon since 2.0, And in universe been researched since the days of Allag. The way they even get as close to the solution as they did with really unknown about of computer processing power running millions of simulations, was because they had that Allagan knowledge, which was gained thanks to G'raha's heritage, which was fully established and linked since 2.5, And his cunning penchant for memory and sight since the Labyrinth of the Ancients was released. Heck they even referenced his first scene meeting the WoL. The Fake Drama may not fly as drama, but it is a very important scene, as it explains that they cannot simply boot back up the simulations with more cooling and more computers. All they had was burnt out and exploded (The problem of running your computers on Jet Fuel, I suppose), taking all the information from the simulations with it. Meaning, while they can cure Tempering, they can't refine the technique to be less draining, they didn't have a means to mass produce a cure, and it couldn't cure advanced causes of Tempering that change a a person's physical body. So it now makes Curing Tempering a possibility, but not always likely (Which was immediately addressed with Tiamat, they didn't know if it could work on her because of how strong she is), and is shown in the same patch to wind four people (Alisae, Alphinaud, G'raha and the WoL) just to cure one Kobold (the 2nd Order Patriarch).
The Admiral stuff had also been on the back burner similarly to the Primal Problem. If you start in LImsa Lominsa, you see just how unstable it is due to Primal Activity and how the former pirates were struggling to become farmers. After Leviathan, Y'shtola damns the Admiral for her part in the Lominsans breaking their treaty with the Kobolds in the first place, and the Rogues Guild Questline shows you that the Bloody Executioners aren't as behind the Galadion Accords as the other two Great Pirate Powers of Limsa, with a splinter cell trying to blow up the central spire of Limsa because they disagree with her actions. And in the Kobold Questline, you help the group of Kobolds who are helping Merlwyb start those peace talks. All of that was just 2.0 and 2.X patch content, and that's not getting into the side content where we learn Merlwyb's two guns names, how she dualed with Mistbeard until it shattered a ship, or how Mistbeard didn't die when he faded into legend, he just became Merlwyb's right hand man.
The information is there, Just because you didn't look for it doesn't mean it's rushed and empty. 5.4 was the literal best powderkeg kickstart to Endwalker. Tying up in a neat bow several issues, and making a new path through old territory which is again repeated in 5.5, when you head through Pagl'than to save the Amalj'aa with your new Kobold Allies helping to clear the paths, remaking bridges once burnt by the men of Eorzea (Which we learned in 6.25 with the release of the Sil'dihn Subterrane, showing us that the Amalj'aa used to be on such good terms with SIl'dah, that The royal family's vault is built right next to an Amalj'aa Hero's grave).
Tl;DR: You literally can't say the plot is rushed without a foot in your mouth, when everything in the 5.4 patch are all plot threads started back in 2.0 or prior, nearly 9 years prior to the Release date of 5.4.
I think the only thing that those of us that watched these trailers "brand new" experienced significantly different than newer players is the "What the Gundam?!" moment of the Sage reveal. Alphinaud's use of the nouloths was the first any of us had seen of the class even before we had been given its name.
Yup. Also Zenos picking up the scythe. That shot was gone entirely in the original teaser trailer, but once Reaper was announced everyone guessed that Zenos would become one and then it was confirmed when this trailer dropped before the cutscene in 5.5 where he declared he "needed a new weapon".
@@smward87 Yeah I mean we all basically knew after the teaser trailer because you could just barely see the scythe, but you can def tell its a scythe.
@@smward87 The fun of going bingeing on reactions is you can tell who was watching the Fan Fest reveal and who is watching after the fact because when the swipe of the chair to Thancred happens, people watching the Fan Fest version WIG OUT and scream "SHOW US THE WEAPON!!!" or "THAT LOOKS LIKE A SCYTHE!!!" because we didn't know until they opened Fan Fest with the full trailer and then we had a name to go with the weapon afterwards when Yoshi P and Koji told us what the class would be called.
Oh Warrior of Light are you prepared to meet the end?
No 😭
That's cheating. A line from the launch trailer he isn't watching! 🤣
I'm sorry I forgot which was which. My apologies 😔
@@Steve-YT383 I don't think it is really a problems since it isn''t actually a spoiler.
@elaine_of_shalott6587 ikr everyone yells that it's a spoiler even though we all watched the crap out of it when it came out
Reminder that Endy is planning to start his first playthrough of Endwalker tomorrow, June 16th 2023. Please refrain from posting spoilers, redirecting his thought process, and guiding him. Spoiling him on these things will impact these genuine reactions you all appreciate so much. Thank you!
IE: LET HIM COOK!
NICEEE
I've been "lurking" watching your progress through these videos, as well as watching a few EW trailer reaction videos recently. I've got to say, yours was the most authentic, exciting reaction I've seen. I love that you read into the lore, pick up the relevant points and truly understand it all. Thank you!
That's very sweet of you to say! Going into Endwalker has me feeling *a lot* of emotions. FFXIV is not only one of the best games I've ever played, but the journey, sharing it with all of you, has made it all the more special. I'll cherish the memories of playing this game and going on these adventures with the community for many, many years to come.
Endwalker’s trailer is truly the Avengers of FFXIV trailers.
The callbacks in the music, all the main cast that you’ve gotten to know, the world ending scenario. If you know what’s going on it’s incredibly hype.
the music was so freaking great, i like that Heavensward part the most
Dys an sohm in / Our slumber disturbed
Rohs an kyn ala na / All my brothers wakе
Mah Morn / Death Comes
Eehl an sohm in / Our peace sacrificed
Sahl djahs afah an / Vengeance will be ours
❤❤❤
Nice to see someone catching the name of the Dragon on their first view.
SO many people ignored/didn't notice back when it was new, and were calling it Tiamat.
That damn counter melody gets me every time
"when the world comes crumbling down /
know I'll be there /
though our fleeting moment has gone /
you're not you're not alone yeah
As you turn your eyes to the stars /
Oh I'll be there /
With my chorus guiding you /
forge ahead"
Hydaelyn always finding a way to talk to us
@@FireLordVahn Damn! I never noticed that. Gave me goosebumps realising it after you said that
I feel like I'm reliving the trailer reveal with you. Like, honestly started tearing up at the Old Sharlayan reveal.
I've completed _Endwalker,_ caught up to the cutting edge of content, and long since lost count of how many times I've watched this intro.
And it *still* gives me goosebumps, every single time.
same. the final part where WoL strikes a pose after killing the First Beast with the planet behind him and the music swelling just makes me tear up everytime.
The song hits way too hard too.
The singer for (a lot of the song, but mainly) the part where AsaDaniel is taking the elevator is really goddamn good too, he is the newest Vocalist for Architects. That dude’s part hits hardest for me.
It was amazing to just finally see the twins depicted in a high quality trailer
I've never seen you so expressive and genuinely stoked! Enjoy Endwalker with the Knighthood ;)
I reached the fifth zone two months ago and I'm desperately waiting for the next free days campaign to invite all my companions for the final boss.
One of the very few people to recognize Vrtra's name in that trailer. I know I didn't.
Also, glad I'm not the only one who shouts STARDIVER!!!
I'd read about Midgardsormr's brood in the Encylopedia Eorzea back in Heavensward, so Vrtra and Azdaja have been near the top of my wishlist for quite some time - hearing the name in the trailer was TOTALLY unexpected.
Welcome to Endwalker Endy!
My favorite part of this trailer is at 4:57 when Yshtola confidently walk away directly into a table, according to the previous overhead view.
This is to remind players that she is still blind.
That's why she has the staff. It doubles as a blind aid.
Chills. Every. Single. Time.
"When the world comes tumbling down, know I'll be there. Though our fleeting moment has gone, you're not alone. As you turn your eyes to the stars, know I'll be there. With our chorus guiding you, forge ahead."
Keep these words close to you, Warrior of Light. Head held high and ever unbowed, walk unto the End.
you are in for one emotional rollercoaster :')
I'm not physicially prepared to watch Andy's reaction through all of Endwalker. This is going to be AMAZING!
I’m excited! I love watching his playthrough and reactions, they’re so geniune🤍
Your excitement is infectious!
What I really love about the FF14 trailers is that every time the WoL is a bit older. It is just a small thing but I love how it shows the journey of all the Players
He's starting to grey in the DT trailer even. Just around edges. Which is weird since the twins are still teens and the WoL is only suppose to be early 20s.
I am enjoying your stream from Japan. Endwalker is full of surprises, both in story and direction. Enjoy your adventure!
Been enjoying your journey through XIV on youtube, all I can say is that you are not ready for Endwalker. None of us were.
I love this trailer so much. It hits all the notes and is so hype! Hope your start to endwalker went well! I'll be checking out the VOD soon and I'm really excited
Have you not noticed who the narrator is for the trailor? That facial expression at the end with the double woooaaaww is the cutest thing! u're so adorable
The Endwalker trailer is actually what made me play FFXIV, and i had NO idea about any of the context. But I could feel SO much emotion from the music and what was going on I had to play. Then when I finally got there to see it and see my screen change, you bet your ass there was tears.
It's been around almost 2 years since I experienced endwalker, watching this trailer again hit like the first time I watched it it. What a game
Your heartfelt enthusiasm brings a smile to my face. It so much fun to see someone else get as excited as myself. So glad you're enjoying this game that so many of us cherish. You got my sub and like for sure. Don't know if I'll ever catch you live on twitch, but I've watched all your YT videos so far. Love it. ❤
Plenty more videos coming for the RUclips crowd, trust me! Thanks for the support :D
1:50 Every single time I hear this, I think of it in both dragonspeak, and English. *YES* The chorus and such isn't gibberish, or generic chorus. It's written in Dragonspeak. And is quite interesting once translated. :)
2:36 When the elevator in a massive evil tower spiral thing is safer than the elevator in the Empire State Building. (You can't convince me otherwise. Both times I rode it I couldn't but think. "This is how I die."
5:27 "Mom! I want Dragon's Dogma!"
"We have Dragons Dogma at home"
{The Dragon's Dogma at home.}
It is always so nice to see a pure reaction to Endwalker. When Endwalker was announced I had holidays for 3 weeks and I did never regret to play every whole dayto get to the end of Endwalker when it was 3 days out. FF14 was such an experience for me. This is also the reason why I also believe in FF16
Absolutely amazing, Endywalker is finally here
Your reactions give me life and vigor. Yes Endwalker is HYPE.
One of my fave tweets was back when the full cinematic trailer was released and someone was like "Estinien really came in here and made it Heavensward 2." XD
That section with the HW theme gives me CHILLS every single damn time. UGGGGGHHHH so good ToT.
I hope they continue to do so!! Plenty more coming soon. Trying to get all the Shadowbringers ones uploaded over the next couple of weeks, followed by Endwalker shenanigans :)
@@EndyD20 I eagerly await every upload :)
my favourite part is where strummer says welcome to come vitra and starts crying and i start crying and everyone claps ps you forgot emet xdd
Nice to see you catching up! Good luck on your continued adventures, Warrior of Light.
Whelp. This has earned a sub from me, as well as given me backlog to watch your journey over the next few weeks. You start Endwalking. I'll catch up. :D
Enjoy! If you lack the time to watch the VODs, don't fret! I'm going to try and upload as many Shadowbringers highlights as possible over the coming weeks :)
I get shivers every time I watch this cinematic and seeing it through your eyes was no difference, the Vrtra moment was everything I was hoping for 😂
I just cant believe how happy it makes me to watch these trailers with first time viewers! Enjoy Endwalker Endy! :D
I still get chills everytime I watch this trailer
It will blow your goddamn mind.
Go forth Warrior of Light! Bare witness the coming of the end!
This is what got me back in to the game, and i last played when the msq ended with ultima weapon.
Dude, I've been watching your last view videos, and I absolutely love the joy and excitement as you go through the story. It's incredibly infectious and ampifying of my own love for the game. Love that you're getting so much out of it. Hoping to catch a stream on Twitch one of these days.
Thanks for the kind words my friend! This is one of those rare games where even in Heavensward I could *feel* the lasting impression it was going to leave upon me. I cannot wait to see what Endwalker has in store!
Remember, whenever you hear their respective leitmotif, you gotta scream-sing "ON WINGS OF HOPE YOU RISE UP THROUGH THE NIGHT, HIGHER!!!!!!!!! OH HIGHER!!!!!!!!" and "TALES OF LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSS AND FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE AND FAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH". It's the law, you know
2:05 is when Endy lets out a breathless gasp seconds before pleading in his mind for Estinien to kiss him.
if only...
Am late to the Endy party, but I have never enjoyed a trailer reaction vid more than this 😁! Enjoy Endwalker!!!
You say "late", I say "just in time" :) Thanks for enjoying!!
The twins go the new outfit that Allisaie was complaining about back in 5.3.
Please upload as many Endwalker videos as you can ! :3
I loved watching your reaction and they mind-blown moments. I had a similar reaction! I can't wait to come along on your journey through Endwalker.
HERE! WE! GO!
This trailer still gives me chills. I love all these trailers so much and cannot wait to see where we go with 7.0.
Still one of the most hype game trailers *EVER*

Looking forward to your response to the whole thing 🙂
Seeing players finally start their EW journey will never get old. Enjoy! You have no idea what's coming xD
as a part of Endwalker new features you gain +1 damage and +1 health for every malm you walk while an MSQ quest is active
dont miss on that free damage
Would it be possible to upload your VODs in RUclips? I do not watch anything on Twitch, but would like to watch your reactions from your RUclips channel. If not, it is ok. I will just watch whatever you upload in RUclips. Thanks.
Question/suggestion: is there any way for you (or whoever posts first) to start a "spoiler thread" where we can talk about your reaction to stuff that is expanded on in the future? Example: "spoilers go here" reply: "oh no he's getting attached to haurchefant!"
I dont know what notifications look like as a content creator for comments, so I wanted to check with you first.
Great suggestion! I do only get notified of new comments that aren’t responses, unless those responses are to me. I can have a channel moderator post a “spoiler thread” moving forwards :)
Endy after watching ShB trailer: How can EW possibly top that?
A minute later.. “You know what, that may have been better than ShB.”
😂😅🤣 I absolutely enjoy watching Endy’s reactions, so genuine all the time! Excited for his EW playthrough.
Lezzgo Endy!!! We’re all here to walk with with you to the end🤩
Let's do it!! Can't wait to go on the journey with yourself & the rest of the community, it's gonna be a blast.
I’m honestly very surprised you didn’t say anything about who was narrating the trailer 👀
OBJECTION, LEADING
I honestly didn’t notice on first viewing because the visuals were taking up 99% of my attention, but I did catch it on my second watch!
@@EndyD20 yes I figured. That trailer is a LOT to take in. I was freaking out about finally getting to see the twins in a cinematic that I didn’t even realize until half way through
@@MaydaTiger guilty 😳
Walk on
Forge Ahead.
I just recently found this channel, but I super can't wait for you to experience -bzzt- and talk to -bzzt- and fight -bzzt-

Welcome to Endwalker...
Just so we're clear...you ain't seen NOTHING yet!
One thing I wish streamers did was tryhing to emulate the experience of the cinematics/trailers. That is: we got the teaser (the one without the lyrics and without revealing Zenos' weapon) for the trailer around patch 5.5 and then we get the full trailer right before the 5.55. Basically we went into the final final patch knowing Zenos's weapon and that the moon would be important. This is why for me the final shot looking to the moon doesn't make sense if you didn't know about us going to the moon.
I’ve had theories regarding a trip to the moon since we first hear Zodiark is “moon bound”, so that shot at the end of 5.55 sent a chill up my spine, but I totally get where you’re coming from.
They REALLY fucked up sound balance in this trailer. Some lines are unhearable.
