🌱 1st time reaction to SHADOWBRINGERS TRAILER | FFXIV

[@jessecox]

Forge ahead!

[@kwistyyFFXIV]

I AM FORGING

[@razriga]

I'm sorry, but of course Jesse the Emotional Vampire is here.

[@taldir5228]

Jesse is everywhere XD

[@Ambs90]

Lmao seeing Jesse become an emotional vampire with the rest of us is the most glorious thing

[@DXDragon38]

Of course you'd be here, Jesse! 😂 All of us Emotional Vampires can sense it!

[@Mad-Slick]

Watching people react to Shadowbringers is my favourite pastime.

[@veldtpr]

Unironically same

[@rx_owo]

The exact same for me. I liked the EW MSQ slightly more, but the ShB trailer is a lot better in hyping it up

[@adamvillegas5040]

Love that she is shocked at trailer being 6+ minutes long but then at the end she is like "It's over already!".

[@becasaurusrexx]

Rock man! Crystal Father!

[@Sov-Ryn15]

2:48 best part of the video

[@kwistyyFFXIV]

I do a pretty good impression of whatever-the-fuck-he-is

[@aerieleah533]

One, rewatch this trailer when you finish with 5.0. You will be amazed. Two, this is honestly the most artistic of the trailers. ARRs shows the Battle of Cartenau and Bahamut as well as setting up some raid bosses/characters. Heavensward gives us the direct tension of Ishgard vs the dragons and the landscapes of the expansion. Stormblood gives us actual scenes from the expansion and a little scene or two from each, but Shadowbringers...it takes absolute poetic license with the events it chooses to show. Several events are represented symbolically rather than directly shown. Not gonna say more lest spoil, but God I love this trailer.

[@kwistyyFFXIV]

I don't think I've ever actually watched the earlier trailers so I'd love to go back to them!!

[@moonlitfoxling8448]

I just can't stop watching it lol, I really wish I was around the time this just released

[@castoputa]

I watch the Korean fanfest reaction every now and then to relive the hype!

[@1992Latvian]

That wtf at the end killed me

[@Dhalin]

"Become the Warrior of Darkness" ... I mean the expansion is _called_ "Shadowbringers" so... yeah. hehe. I know, this all blew our minds back in the day too, we were like "WTF?" wondering if we were supposed to become evil or something. You'll find out as you play, of course. We won't spoil, or at least I won't. I just want to reassure you that we all had the same "WTF?" moments when we saw the trailer for the first time too.

[@jasperhighwind6119]

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.

[@SNAFUq]

Congrats on making it this far! It may be a liiiiittle late, but to answer your first question: Nope! You aren’t (weren’t?) ready.

[@kwistyyFFXIV]

Thankyou!!! I absolutely was NOT READY

[@wezzco_br8169]

Oh Shadowbringers and Endwalker is such a good pair of expansions! I love the story

[@MysticChrono]

You had me at the Macross/Robotech shirt xD Hope you are enjoying the content, Forge Ahead!

[@deadkodo]

never get tired of ppl react to this for first time

[@Jerbsinator]

Shb and Ew trailer hits different. Even after completing the game this shit still blows my mind.

[@Ryotsu2112]

Genuinely one of the absolute best game trailers of all time.

[@greenhollyknight4846]

You'll get it as you play. I just started it myself and his reason for saying it makes sense when you get to that part. Still I've got to level up another job to get any benefits from the quests and side quests. Started at level 80 and can't go higher. I just wanted to do my next Summoner job quest, that's all.

[@whymeman86]

LETS GO, you made it to Shadowbringers!

[@kwistyyFFXIV]

I FINALLY DID IT 🎉 I'm enjoying it so much so far !!

[@hellhoundactual8201]

Final Fantasy XIV: Sobbing Bringers Cause GODDAMN SHB HAS THE BEST WRITING OF ANY EXPANSION OR GAME EVER

[@Kefka2224]

Enjoy your journey your in for a good time

[@JenDeyan]

You are in for a ride. We all felt the same things back in a day.

[@Gwydion_Wolf]

8:27 "Emotionally traumatized" .... yea...... yea... Feelsbringers does that..... :D Hope your enjoying the journey 13 days late :D

[@kwistyyFFXIV]

it SHOOK ME to my core!! ive just gotten past minifilia's hair colour change :')

[@fuzzwobble]

Fun fact: The Dark Knight being the poster class for this expansion made no sense, because Dark Knights don't channel dark energies. Canonically, they channel feelings. Dark Knights are actually magical girls.

[@Bayonette]

Welcome to Shadowbringers

[@BananaMellor]

It makes me a little sad whenever people don't recognize the lion and giant lady statues from Lost City of Amdapor (Hard). I know it's an optional dungeon or whatever, but it only makes me think the dungeon should become mandatory so there's at least that connection being made.

[@nightlord531]

Hope you enjoy the best expansion!

[@SarahJaneTTV]

GO KRISTY!!!

I came for the Shadowbringers reaction. I stayed for the Skull Leader Macross shirt.

Ahh yes, more grist for the mill. Hope you have a blast!

[@cyphi474]

"How many years have come and gone since that day" Good question....i would like to know. Anyway, enjoy ShB.

The only thing better than watching people react to the Shadowbringers trailer is watching them react to.... well.. you know the bit I mean.

IM PANICKING WHAT BIT

[@robbaskerville253]

@@kwistyyFFXIV nothing much, just the most awesome single moment in video game history, but I don't want to over-sell it.

after you finish 5.0 story quest you defo need to come back and watch this again XD

[@georjoporjo3323]

What the fuck did she just call urianger

[@for_the_lore5567]

I never understand why streamers watch these "trailer" cutscenes on KZbin when they could just have easy access to them from the main menu of the game, with the bonus of getting to see what the title screen for that expansion looked like right after.

[@kwistyyFFXIV]

i didnt know this was a thing so people informed me afterwards :) ill be able to do it from main menu for endwalker thankfully! thanks for being condescending about it tho! :D
