FFXIV - The ENTIRE 1.0 Story EXPLAINED
Ойындар
This is the first part of my Final Fantasy XIV Full Story Recap. I made this as an extensive recap which includes the basic info like the city profiles and a quick introduction to races and the like. I hope to improve the quality and presentation for the next parts of this recap whenever they come out! The "important" bits from this story is really just everything in year 1557 and from 1572 and onwards. The city-state stories were included just to have a comprehensive recap, but they aren't important to the overall story of FFXIV. Events that happen in these years is mentioned here and there in 2.0 onwards, and you do meet characters from these stories. But, again, they aren't important if you just want to know what happened right before The Calamity.

Having just started playing the game, going through ARR had me asking alot of questions "Whose this character?" "Whats this event they talk about?" and so on, this was genuinely a big help in answering pretty much all off them! So fantastic job

That makes me so glad to hear! Thank you :D I felt the same way when I first started playing and it wasn't before I did some background research of my own that I found out about the story (both irl and in-game) of the game. Which is why I included the calamity section in this video, because I think the community that played back then and all the things the developers did was so cool, I wanted to share that with other people who might not had heard the stories.
All these years later I still tear up at that last cutscene with Answers playing in the background. I remember 1.0 fondly even with its misgivings, my LC from XI were there til the end. Sadly most didn't come back for ARR

@@HikariVictor I played 1.0 and tried ARR around the time Stormblood was current but man...the leveling experience was just really bad for a 2018 MMO experience. I could have handled it in 2010, but for 2018 it was just kind of absurd how much of a slog it is. The world changed, player expectations and industry standards changed but the early game never changed with them. I gave up after ~120 hours of trying to push through. They really need to do something about that (no, paying to skip it doesn't count, why would I pay MORE money to skip content in a game I may not even end up liking at endgame? Why not just make that part fun or at least less monotonous instead?) as I've talked to a lot of people who had the same experience. I didn't expect to spend most of my time with exposition dumps and cutscenes and travel time than actually playing the game...and whenever a friend tried to join me on a quest it would force me to go solo into the last step of a quest...like why am I being forced to solo everything that matters in questlines in an MMO? It makes 0 sense and was boring and lonely.
This might be the best summary I've seen so far. Most of them present the information in the order the player encounters it, like a let's play for those of us who missed it. This is in temporal order and really helps put the pieces together.

God, I wish there was a way to experience 1.0's story in FFXIV 2.0. This explains so much about characters like Thancred and why he was so broken in Shadowbringers. To him, it was like losing a daughter.😢 I know 1.0 was rough, but the story sounds so interesting, especially when you factor in the events of the later expansions.
Just your recounting alone makes me wish I played this game back then, flaws or not. Amazing recounting. Thank you so much for this!

Thanks for the correction, I'll try to remember to address that in my next video😊
PSA: for anyone who remembers everything you read from ARR to now, and clicked for 1.0 lore, start at 16:04. Everything before then, is something the game itself should've told you a hundred times.
Holy sh*t this summary was fantastic. I have always wanted to learn the story and lore in 1.0 since it plays such a significant role in 2.0 and every following expansion. You managed to make this video not only comprehensive and easy to follow- but an epic retelling that instantly captures you. Thank you so much for putting effort into creating this masterpiece! You’re truly the MVP. Addition: So THAT’S what the Great Gobbue Wall was!! I wish I had been there.
I was left breathless... I've watched that cutscene so many times, but knowing the story leading up to it made it so much more impactful. I really wish we could play through Legacy as a New Game + chapter, but I suppose that would require them to remake the whole thing in the current engine.
Extremely comfy video, a story well told with just the right amount of detail. This really deserves more exposure.

Perfectly explained and paced. Keep going with these videos, you provide just the right amount of story and context to make it feel interesting, without getting too into the weeds or skimming over important events. It also blows my mind that so much of this important narrative is simply cut from ARR. I would argue it’s required knowledge to getting any sort of real connection and enjoyment out of ARR.

Q.Q but from the way they seemed to have ended it, that is absolutely unsettling yet awesome to watch just on video. I wouldn't know how to react if I had actually been there to experience it.

You made it fun and easy to understand and added in some great cutscenes I've never seen before bc I came in on ARR. I never knew why Thancred was so anal about Minfillia. I thought he was in love with her or something now knowing he was like a daughter to him it makes more sense of why her death meant so much and how much it hurt to see a young Minfillia in Endwaker. Ohh also he song playing to the choses who could hear the echo. It made sense that now Hydalyn has now chosen her chapions by song. So it actually Hydalyn sining the not to her champions. I though it was jusy the theme song to ARR.

Love your detail on this trailer. Some context for the main character, Warrior of Light. Because Final Fantasy XIV is an online MMORPG, you're able to change classes/jobs. When he flashes blue and his armor changes, that's him changing class. Specifically previous classes highlighted from earlier content chapters (as shown by the flashback). This is a very important element to the game's structure. I highly suggest starting with A Realm Reborn - A New Beginning. That trailer was created as an homage to the first version of XIV (1.0) incorporating the last cinematic of the game before it was shutdown. The first version of the game had failed to live up to expectations and SquareEnix took a chance to redo the game's story, structure, dynamics, etc. When it was announced that the game was being redone, the servers introduced a harbinger (Dalamud Moon) that would grow in the sky as the end of the game counted down. At 00:00 of the original game they played the trailer End of an Era to say thank you to the fans who stuck around, destroying Eorzea, and making a promise to a better story soon. A New Beginning welcomes old fans and new fans to what is now FF XIV A Realm Reborn (2.0+).

*ENDWALKER SPOILERS* The Traveler's Wards (which Hydaelyn/Venat has) that grant the Echo don't lean your aether and cause devotion towards light, actually, otherwise, Alisaie's Porxies could get rid of the Echo. You're led to believe it *is* tempering because of Emet's biased view, but you soon learn that isn't the case when you hit Elpis in Endwalker. You'd also have way more trouble taking in the Lightwardens' light if the Echo worked that way. It's safe to say Ifrit simply assumes you're tempered by something else - but traveler's wards are basically asleep in everyone - they just need to recall the sundered memory of the Final Days to activate that power. Ifrit likely just wasn't aware of the whole thing given his whole thing is trying to win converts by barfing flame on people and aspecting their aether towards fire.
Getting ready to finally do stormblood. With the Yda reveal, and how Thancred protected Minfilia in childhood, storylines being brought up during heavensward I realized it was finally time I look at 1.0 storyline to make sense of past information.

It is, however, terminology I think is useful to know during all of that. Some of it could have been saved for later in retrospect.

I don't think you really *need* to know all this to understand ARR. Although I do think it would help to know who the characters are and what they talk about in ARR. There is the CG animation as the intro and then characters will mention "The Calamity" and you'll get some information about it. However, when I first played I did not know there was a "1.0" to FFXIV and so everything before the calamity is really hidden in the text of ARR. In my opinion, at least.

The exodus of the Eorzean Sharlayans back to Old Sharlayan happened about 15 years ago (10 before the Calamity), though you can see a few remained in Eorzea to mingle with Limsa/Ul'dah/Gridania. Yda died in a mission about 1 year before the Calamity, so it was shortly before 1.0.

no wonder ARR kinda sucked bc i was supposed to kinda know the characters and their backstory lmaoooo i find out months later omg
I really wish we could get 1.0 classic with the luxuries of today's game but I know Yoshi P doesn't want to do it.
i was there and didn’t even know it. i was a dumb lil 10 year old kid lol picked up ARR seriously two yrs ago
Silent hill theme music?

Nope, all from FFXIV! Every song is listed in the description😁
shame you never made more videos
how dare you call Godbert Manderville unimportant!
Yoshi P. Was really given something terrible and played an absolute blinder with the story and vision he had in mind. Not many developers would actually create a narrative to destroy the world, then break rules of most MMORPGs making hub city's dangerous and having monsters attack your ability to traverse the world. All while that eerie music is playing. The game clearly had problems and was probably bad but the experience must have been something to play through without know what was coming next
Wasn't Danus a she? That's what i remember seeing in Cinder Drift

He deserves his own video.
you sound giga handsome
God I hope 7.0's graphic update can make current XIV look even half as pretty as 1.0
Im so amazed by 1.0 I've heard so much bad about the lore but actually 1.0 lore is much better than most of ff14 now
The title is 1.0 but you go over way more than 1.0 I'm confused and don't want spoilers for ARR

No, I can assure you this is all that happens in the 1.0 story. Going in to ARR it's assumed you know all this, so there are no ARR spoilers in this video.

@@LordAri oh ok
its crazy how much better 1.0 looked compared to current 14. even with the 7.0 graphics update I don't think the game will look as good as it did back then. the cutscenes being mo-capped and touched up by hand, while time consuming, makes the action so much more involving to watch.
