Well after a year since this trailer came out, and nearly a year since the launch of EW, this intro video still gives me chills. It is SO GOOD.

Fun fact: they got the lead singer of Architects to sing the opening for the trailer.

Song of Hope kicking in bringing me all the feelings again.

Some nice little tidbits. When the scene shifts to the portion with Estinien it is actually a remix of the Heavensward trailer, the scene with Fandaniel is a remix of the Stormblood trailer and the scene with Thancred and Urianger has remixed Shadbowbringers music. Also with the WoL transitioning from Dark Knight to Paladin it is a reference to FFIV. There is just so so much and I hope you enjoy the story from beginning to end. I know I did. (hidden secret reference there hehe)

@@karcino77 Ah yes, my mistake. Either way all the nods to older expansions and ARR are fantastic.

My favorite bit is when the monster attacks the Warrior of Light and he proceeds to one shot it. This monster is one of the first beasts of which a single one was able to kill many of the ancients and yet we one shot it showing how much stronger we had become.

if you dig the singer, his name is Sam Carter and he plays in the band, Architects

Stay strong and keep the faith. At journeys end you’ll still have more patches. You will. The pre-endwalker waiting has ended. And we have been blessed with a trailer reaction. And now the FFXIV community is coming here to see you. (Yes, I paraphrased Elidibus last quote in Shadowbringers)

It's always funny to re-watch the trailer and notice at at 5:35 Yshtola is confidently walking directly at a table (as established in the previous shot) and the shot literally cut right before she trips over it.

You know she just vaults over it without a hair out of place.

the best part... is that the trailer is NOT preparing you for what's ahead. It hypes, but it spoils almost nothing

First time I actually listened to the lyrics of the counter-melody in the key change I was ruined, I can't watch the trailer without tearing up now. "when the world comes crumbling down know I'll be there / though our fleeting moment has passed you're not - you're not alone yeah!" ruined. every time.

Something most don't notice is when the scene switches to Estinien, Urianger's VA changes and you realize that the first part was actually his OG Voice Actor. Chills man! CHILLS!

Welcome to the end game sir.

One of most hype reactions I've seen, you are just a bundle of giddiness! Can't wait to see your reaction to the Daddy scene (which was in 5.55, which came out AFTER this trailer. We were only able to speculate that that was the twins' father)

Glad you enjoyed it! I am so hype to experience this story

and we are currently about four months out from the drop of the first 7.0 hints or trailer.

This was the trailer that broke me. Now, I was definitely interested in the characters of FF14. I had played a bunch of Dissidia NT, and Y'shtola was one of my most played characters. I also dabbled a bit with Zenos when he was added. I thought they were both neat, but the notion of taking on an MMO felt daunting, especially one with (at that point) almost a decade of content to work through. Then a KZreadr I was already following started posting vids from their playthrough up through ShB. I got to see some snippets of gameplay, some story, some music. It was cool, but the missing context from pre-ShB kinda left me wondering about what I was missing. Then this trailer dropped. I probably watched it about 5 times before immediately seeing if I could set up the free trial on my PS4. I got it working, made my character, and fell in love instantly. On the third day I got fed up with waiting on F2P queues and just bought the game. Now I'm finally all caught up to where I 'started' armed with a lot more knowledge, and oh my goodness does this trailer hit harder every time I see it.
