This Game CHANGED MY LIFE! Heavensward Welcome Party & Trailer!

[@chobitsotaku5613]

As someone that stopped playing WoW and started playing FFXIV non-stop for the last 2 years and loving it, I'm glad you're also enjoying it and can't wait to see more of your playthrough.

[@KironX1]

I picked up WoW again in BFA and it was the worst gaming experience I’ve ever had. I started playing ff14 and never looked back. I didn’t realize MMOs could be fun.

[@selenang2006]

As someone who played since 2.0 i welcome u too. So glad u rid yrself of that toxic game.

[@drachepumpernickel7056]

Oh being a "casual" is a perfectly valid way to play. There are people that do nothing but fish or craft, or decorate their houses/apartments. That doesn't even step into the realm of Rpers (not just naughty rpers) that immerse themselves into playing a character in whatever story they have going. Heck, there's a freaking club scene. Top tier Raiders aren't any more special or important to everyone else. They have their niche, but the game gives us the freedom to do many MANY other things if raiding isn't your jam. Also if you ever feel you need a break, the devs themselves encourage you to do other things so you don't burn out. The game will still be there when you come back. All this to say, the game is exceptionally casual friendly while still providing the opportunities to do more difficult content IF YOU WANT TO.

[@farbod21]

This was so adorable. I am really glad you got a proper welcome. You are so sincere and genuine, I just can't imagine why someone wouldn't have a positive response to your content. Have been enjoying it tremendously.

[@RandoPassingBy]

HOLY WAIT OML FELLOW DRAGOON HI IM SO GLAD YOU CHOOSE THE JOB!! Instant sub >:3

[@miqotesoulia8620]

when the content from 2015 is just as good as 2023 stuff from other MMOs, really makes you appreciate what kind of care the devs put into the game for it to STILL have this effect on people.

[@Matisaro]

The man in the trailer is the canon "you" and each expansion he changes jobs.

[@ConManAU]

I never had an honour guard going into Ishgard for various reasons, but that's why I make sure that when one of our FC members mentions they're starting Heavensward I make sure to show up in Foundation to welcome them. It's such a wonderful gesture and I'm glad to know it means something to people like you who experience it. ARR is a perfectly fine game, but honestly this is where things really start to happen so I hope you enjoy it!

[@kimaclaret]

I'm so happy you got this welcome into HW. I know you're quite a bit ahead of this now, and I hope you are still enjoying yourself. Sorry that some people just can't be normal. I always enjoy seeing you in the gaming space.

[@Heathiekins]

Something I noticed so heavily when playing XIV for the first time was just how loving the community was for new players. This mindset has followed me back into WoW, and I've been making so many more friends in both games. I truly hope more positive community behaviors come to WoW. Also, so happy you've been enjoying XIV. It's always nice to see another WoW veteran embrace both games. Hope you continue to love XIV!

[@ManxoChu]

It's become a tradition to welcome streamers in this manner when they first journey into Eorzea, especially when moving into the next expansion. Welcome to the Critically Acclaimed expansion Heavensward, Warrior of Light. o7

[@Lordoftheapes79]

The voice actor change is a bit jarring, but it was 100% the right choice.

[@trinitysays]

Welcome to Heavensward....where Square Enix kicked it up a notch and kept going from here.

[@Mocita]

Showed up in my feed, and love this tradition. I remember doing this with another streamer and he just about broke down crying. He came from WoW as well and it was pretty much the same thing. Either way, welcome to Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward.

[@aerieleah533]

I do love watching the ff traditions for streamers. I'm not gonna spoil, but theres a few moments that get me just to see the inevitable reaction for the streamer. I need to participate in one. Maybe I'll keep an eye and catch you on one of my favorites. Edit: also sad to hear that about your experience with WoW. I love that game, but there is something very dark in how it sets itself up that brings out the bad in people. Maybe its the core of the game, rooted in conflict. Ff has its faults, but the core of the game is rooted in kindness and understanding. Even when someone doesn't much deserve it.

[@Zingdo]

Now, you too have access to the gun class

[@MrGanon360]

Machinist is so good

[@kira7666]

Witnessing your first Call of Tradition as a sprout is a truly humbling experience. I didn't get a chance to have this one in particular, but my dearest friends put out The Call on all networks when I finished Endwalker a few days ago and it brought me to tears to see friend and stranger alike lining up when I dropped out of the cutscene. Truly, it will always be a cherished memory for me, and I hope to be able to be on the other side of it someday soon.

[@sleeplesson]

Probably one of my favorite in game traditions.

[@ifaeriewraith]

And this community strikes again… 10 years playing this game and it still brings tears to my eyes. Such an amazing place to call my second home. I’m obviously late, but welcome to FFXIV. You will certainly NOT be let down here. ♥️

[@Matisaro]

Welcome in ff14 = love and hugs and rp walks. Welcome in wow = teabagging and gitgud taunts

[@MrGanon360]

Was honored to greet you at the gates of Ishgard. It is like a rite of passage in game.

[@Gwydion_Wolf]

best part of these welcomes.. is when random arse players see one being set up.. even if they have no clue who its for, they will join the welcoming party :)

[@geraçaoenzo123]

So get ready because you haven't seen anything this story is fantastic

[@xbree_]

Aww that was so sweet! Gotta love it

[@firefly1509]

Whei, welcome to Heavensward, enjoy the expansion.. looking forward to seeing you progress through the plot :D

[@Xardion55]

Where treachery lurks beneath the city walls and vengeance soars above the skies...

[@MariaRetz1983]

Welcome to Heavensward! I really enjoy watching your videos, it's so great to see your reactions to the game :)

[@ProjectBongo]

Welcome to Heavensward. Super looking forward to your playthrough as HW still is my favorite expac narratively.

[@Skyreon]

This journey has been such a blast to follow. Special shoutout to the editor for making these, excited for the future

[@jereboy2005]

I played wow for years as one of my only games (that and lesuge of legends). And i believe i would be considered a casual, i mostly just did aotc achieves then stopped raiding and only did like rp and leveled alts. And even then the toxicity was noticeable. Somehowe i never came across you, but tbf i never really cared to watch wow events besides a few moments of blizzcon. I came over to this game during that whole exodus from shadowlands wow and havent looked back. Everybody was, and still is extremely friendly and welcoming. And to top it off, a good chunk of my wow guild migrated over as well. Glad to see you are receiving a good welcoming!

[@alexanderpapadopoulos2383]

congrats on finishing the tutorial.

[@spiritsongtress]

Welcome to Eorzea. 1-50 was just an appetizer. I have been playing since 2015,. Walk on, at your own pace.

[@Dio____Brando]

Oh boy i cant wait for you to reach endwalker 😂

[@BravoBigBirdZ7775]

Welcome Eiya to Heavensward! :)

[@RandoPassingBy]

Btw Urianger is my favorite (still is) Give him some time, don’t exactly just think he’s purely a bad guy. There is no pure evil or pure good in the game, hope you will enjoy the story of HW, my fav expansion! 😉

[@seekittycat]

I loveee welcoming people to expansions I can't wait to go to your next one 🎉

[@Netryon]

I don't what to say since I don't have recent this game experience, but dexterity is that attribute. They have tried hard to get those guns shining, because it's crafting chance possibly destroying item in a process not some easy transmogrification. 4:49 that won't be alright, because some orthodox religious shit. Moongoose Feralas and everything.

[@jaron95]

So wholesome. So charming. So FFXIV.

[@NozdormusRage]

This is all so sweet, but I'm here to watch her 'suffer' from Shadowbringers on...

[@anniebothtml]

Welcome to Heavensward! This was wonderful to watch.

[@YotaMtch51]

This welcome is the FFXIV community in a nutshell. Welcome to Ishgard, little sprout, and have fun !

[@omegagilgamesh]

"It's a tradition to RP walk to the new zone." ...since when? 2:30, okay, THAT is a tradition, at least for streamers.

[@ShadyLurker16]

Tradition for streamer simps....

[@GaMEChld]

Lol, the ppl in your chat talking about Deathwing. Fun fact, Deathwing would fit neatly on Bahamut's palm.

[@EiyaTV]

We can appreciate both :) it's not a competition

[@GaMEChld]

@@EiyaTV Didn't mean to imply a competition, just trying to give a sense of scale XD

[@EiyaTV]

@@GaMEChld gotcha ❤️ my bad for misunderstanding

[@GaMEChld]

@@EiyaTV No worries! Hope you are enjoying the ride so far, look forward to watching the rest!

[@Neoarchon]

2:36 Got them!! 😎

[@jopi4036]

Does anyone know which headset she is currently using?

[@Calculusman1084]

It is indeed life changing.

[@RandoPassingBy]

Oml I have to get an alt in your server, so I can welcome you next expansion and on!!!!

[@rivenoak]

welcome to a wild ride ..and emotional damage on top. it cannot be helped ;)

[@hlopar3138]

After 9.1 release in wow i just move to GW2 and then to FF14. The best decision i ever made as gamer. FF14 become my new home and allow me to play other games without feeling like im falling behind. FF14 its my new home

[@bclap06able]

I'd be your Paladin any day 😅 haha

[@audioapegaming3334]

OK FINE ILL PLAY THE GAME 😢😭

[@ChibiGoesRawr]

FFXIV community is one of the best ones out there.

[@ardwick8096]

Welcome to FFXIV.

[@VampireNoblesse]

Heavensward is great.., but still has some pacing issues.., hold thru!

[@SDunne]

Last time I checked her Twitch she was in the middle of Stormblood. These uploads are from weeks ago.

[@ReplayMastersTekken]

And the moment you stop playing ffxiv theyre going to talk shit to you like they own you
