im two years late, but your voice is so awesome and thank you for doing this summary. i played through ARR, but i skipped so many dialogues and cutscenes. so this has helped me understand and appreciate ARR more. i pay attention now that im in heavensward, and im invested in the story now
Pushing through A Realm Reborn it was a very nice story when thinking back I think what slogged it down was the middle contented to get to the next stuff
They have thankfully trimmed down ARR's MSQs so there's less to do. Some dungeons are now no longer part of story, as well as a bunch of text heavy missions. It's much faster than it was.
2 minutes in and I'm already liking and subscribing. Your demeanor is s tier. Just the right amount of serious, to the point and self aware. Thank you for such efforts!
My father and I wanted to refresh on the prior stories and yours are easily the best and most professional I've seen yet. Will you all be doing each expansion and subsequent bridge patches as you've done in these first two episodes? I really really hope so! Your work is fantastic!
Best mmo ever created ❤❤❤❤ the magic the reality of it the stability of the game the nice community . All the missions and the huge maps needless to say all the new animals and creatures very unique and well crafted the & techniques are very challenging it’s just amazing.
I think it doesn't add much to it's favor when the community just propagates the meme of "oh wait to heavensward, it gets so good at heavensward" when most of the stuff after a realm reborn needs that foundation from it to make sense or even have relevance. Seems the even expansions tend to get the same treatment compared to the odd ones since 2.0 and 4.0 are building the world and narrative vs 3.0 and 5.0 had a conclusion to part of one already established. I have a feeling 6.0 will get the same treatment since on paper, it seems like 2.0 all over again.
This is very true my bf kept saying the same thing but the thing was that Realm Reborn was good it's just the middle content to get to the next stuff was a slog. Cuz I got through it fine and enjoyed it. The more the community keeps pushing that you need to get past it the more people wont enjoy the story for what it is. So I agree alot.
@@devilovesdevil I never found an issue and I played it as it came out. It's just the devs making time and they have improved on it as much as I think they could of without flat out reconning. It's a low point, sure. But they can't do much without reconning at this point.
Ive played every final fantasy fantasy except the online ones. Online mmo's get too hectic for me to keep up. So thanks for the story for us who dont do the multi player thing.
dude i dont think i can do this MMO thing i was grinding for what felt like endless hours of pure slog and filler quests and im not even at 4:34 in the story yet 😭😭😭and this isn’t even the part of the game that gets really good yet???
This is glorious. But. This is a big but here, I cannot lie. It is unsettling why you made a certain choice for this video. To. Use. A. Bird. A BIRD. THE BIRD. THE RED BIRD.
Thank you for the summary, Pétur. I have adhd and I literally cannot bear to read through the endless text prompts or sit and listen patiently when a cutscene is playing. I really wish I could, but if I forced myself to do so, I would have quit. The only thing that I would like to note is that I personally do not like when the generic masculinum is used (e.g. German or French). It really messes with my ability to identify with the character portrayed. I can tolerate it when I know the language doesn't offer a good neutral alternative, but in English is is very easy to replace singlar personal pronouns with the singular "they" (and insert other prowords whenever it gets too repeating). Apart from that, I loved yout video, especially your narration style and your voice :)
Arguably the best story of all FF even though it's a MMO (when you consider the "non story of ff11"... It s quite a paradox). Best gameplay as well, it s the perfect answer to the question turn base or action rpg. But because it s an online game it can not be compared really to the other entries (main character never talks, lot of fetch quests, social aspect of it all, expansions for 10 years).
Yeah well they should have left the story on paper then. Cause running here and there and back again to deliver pretzels is the most boring excuse of a game I've ever experienced. I'd rather watch paint dry.
@@BirdsOfPlay At 40+ hours of nonstop fedex delivery jobs and dry unvoiced dialogue I decided to quit while I'm ahead. If the game is not good at 40+ hours its not good at all. I guess I could pay to skip but that would be paying not to play lol. Good video tho. But I still don't know why people say its story is so good. Have these people ever read Dune or watched an anime?
@@R3Dske the first 50 sides of the 500 side book might be hard to read but its needed for worldbuilding and worth grinding through. It gets really good with the first xpac, characters getting fleshed out the story is told better.
@@R3Dske Super late into response but generally people are talking about the later expansions- which don't do that. Fortunately the story team learned their lesson about fetch quests after Realm Reborn. They still exist, but it isn't 30+ hours of it.
It is really hard for me to get into the story when they throw so many made up (Yes I know all words are made up.) at you, especially with stuff like Assians.
Here's the updated version including the patches and the Crystal Tower in the same video: ruclips.net/video/tIaBTgy0N_Q/видео.html

Yeah the middle section was super boring
Fillers are always so boring
And then straight after you have 80 lvl 50 msq's to complete

Your voice sir, is very soothing for story telling. please make complete story for the other expansion...
The perfect refresher before diving into Endwalker 👍🏽

Damn, I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more views. Amazing voice. Is that a program or do you actually have that epic voice lol
IT'S ALL ME BABY! also thanks for watching! - Pétur
@@BirdsOfPlay absolutely incredible voice, honestly
Great Voice. So soothing. Was a pleasure to recall story just before endwalker.
Sometimes my wife falls asleep when I’m talking to her, it all makes sense now. - Pétur
Thank you for such an amazing video I needed a refresher and this was perfect.
Subbed because of fantastic voice. Fell in love immediately 😍
i didn't play when i got the game 2014 just got in to it skipped over the story fore Realm Reborn, Heavily apricate this video ! great content
Imagine being humilliated by a lone bloke in a chicken costume XD
Such devastation.
This is the next best thing to having Morgan Freeman tell the FF XIV story.. I mean what a voice!
Even in a 30 min summary, I fell asleep in ARR's story lol
Glad we could help you get some shut-eye!
Thank you for making this. Your voice is amazing.
Thanks for watching! Glad you like it. We're currently working on the rest of FF14 so stay tuned!
@@BirdsOfPlay Im playing through New Game+ right now. When I'm done, I will definitely watch your summary of it. Cheers.

There's so much lol. Thanks for trying to cover it all briefly.
Wait so all those meteors didnt hit any of the big city? And how did Bahamut just up and leaves?
Very very nice tell.

I guess "Men in black" was taken...
Jumpscare... 20:38
kinda sounds like Morgan Freeman...
Morgan Freeman doing Final Fantasy summaries would be amazing!
More like Patrick Stewart.
Even in this format I get bored of the story
While it's not always the best with pacing I think it's the best story if you're just trying to be an adventurer
