they were teleported 5 years into the future. i also thought it was an alternate universe. XD
Noclip - Video Game Documentaries on youtube did an amazingly deep dive into the rise, fall, and rise again of Final Fantasy 14 if you ever have a lot of spare time and want to explore the history of the game.
Actually there are TWO realm reborn trailers.
This one dont include part that describbe what happened with dragon.
Basically Old man teleport everyone who was on that battlefield a little bit in the future, and then he died goddes of this world give him last chance to use his life for one last strike against dragon.
Dragon died (almost) but his ultima spell still scorched half of the world. And then people who got teleported came back already after this catastrophe.
If you whant to know what happend after the Explosion you need to watch the end part called Flames of Truth😉
Bahamut ended that age and started a new one, that is why it is "A Realm Reborn".
They also needed to draw new maps afterwards.
The war and dragon destroying everything was the cinematic played at the final moments of Final Fantasy 14 version 1.0 as they took the game offline forever. There is a very good documentary about the almost failure of Final Fantasy 14 and it's rebirth under a new manager, Naoki Yoshida ( also known as Yoshi P) and music composer Masayoshi Soken. The dragon, Bahamut, literally destroyed the 1.0 game, and after a massive crunch by the team they redid the game entirely as Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn, or Final Fantasy 14 patch 2.0. The mage at the end basically cast time magic to save everyone from the destruction.
The new producer is Naoki Yoshida. Masayoshi Soken is the music composer
@@michaeldigrigoli2473 Sorry, I blame just having woken up. I half typed out the sentence. xD
I feel like we should also mention that the flames of truth trailer includes the follow-up to the dragon fight.
I should mention though that the Flames of Truth cinematic is properly a cutscene from the raid series of the game and was originally treated as spoilers for the game. Anybody can watch it now and I don't think it matters much though.
true, i think the original 1.0 final moments video would be a good video to watch as well, though pretty much the same video
also good to point out, yoshi p made the development team play other games like wow to branch out and learn, since there was obviously something they were doing wrong
This cinematic is seeding things that don't get paid off for 6 expansions! PEAK storytelling for an MMO.
Wow that is impressive since they've only released 4 expansions so far!
@@pezdispencer113 ARR is as much an expansion as it was an overhaul, even though 1.0 is gone, it was never forgotten
i guess someone was skipping all cutscenes never did the coils or anything and fell of i arr huh. Shows how little you know, spent in this game 3.5k hours at this point and never have seen better story telling in mmo, now go suck off your blizzard overlords who spit in your face every expac they realese or every newer shittier diablo :v
Even if ARR is counted, that's still not 6 expansions.
1)ARR
2)HW
3)StB
4)ShB
5)EW
You can't really count 1.0 as an expansion since that was the base game, so that'd only count up to 5 total. Also, the reason nobody considers ARR an expansion is because there's no access to what came before. That said, imo ARR is more like a _sequel_ to 1.0 than an _expansion_ seeing as it replaces it as the new base game.
💯💯💯💯
As someone who has completed relatively everything in FF14, this trailer gives me chills everytime.
I really want to play this game 💯
@@GOTGames it hits even harder in game with full context, really hope you enjoy the games masterpiece of a story as much as I have if you ever play!
Aye when you do Coils....
"To all of my children...." ----- me getting goosbumps and trying not to cry.
Same. Even all these years and great song later, Answers is still my favorite cinematic AND song.
The initial cinematic with the dragon is how they ended 1.0, as a failed game, they decided to reboot the entire game, and used the Final Fantasy staple Bahamut to do so. There is the missing part of what happens during the calamity behind the first raid tier, called Flames of Truth. 2.0 picks back up after the calamity once things have been rebuilt a bit to be as spoiler free as possible. There is an amazing NoClip documentary on the story behind the realities of rebooting the game.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of XIV reactions
This game is something else. It is, by FAR, the best story I have ever experienced in any game EVER. There is no comparison. Not with other Final Fantasy games, not with Mass Effect, not with Bioshock, not with anything. Even if you aren't into MMO's, you should play this game for the story alone. I literally cannot praise it enough. It's even more impressive that it's an MMO, and MMO's aren't known for having great stories or storytelling. I got my friend into this game when I got into and we played it together a lot as well, and he has never played a Final Fantasy game or even cared to try one before that, and he has the exact same opinions as me about this game.
The only problem with this is getting through ARR. I quit ARR at 4 different occasions before I reached level 50 near the release of endwalker. The story in ARR is not good enough to get through the absolutely horrendous gameplay that is levels 1 to 50.
But yea I will never forget the story in my life. Specially shadowbringers.
The thign about playing this, somewhat casually, is the time needed to invest in it. The story is hundreds of hours long, and you know anyone who starts it would spend just as long on side content. Just have to prepare him for "if you're gonna start, aim to be in it for the long haul"
@@elmataclachado While not the best. ARR story is still very good. Even more-so when you get all the payoffs of it later down the line. ARR only has a little bit of its story self contained. 80% of it is set-up for later expansions. Even if it doesn't feel like it is at first.
I personally enjoyed ARR. I've gone through the base game at least 4 times. 3 of those times were before they crunched it a bit.
@@elmataclachado They have streamlines ARR a lot the last 4 or 5 years. It really does not take that long to get through.
Basically, they were transported to the future where the threat is gone and the world is beginning to heal from that fight. How that happens, and what happened in those five years is a lot more complicated and is explained throughout the game.
I played FFXIV up until Stormblood years ago. After seeing this trailer a few months ago, I just had to play it again and started over from the beginning. The visuals, the music, the emotion, the community, even the developers... it's so good. You have to look up the story about how this cutscene leads from the old, not well received game into A Realm Reborn. That alone is so incredibly well done. You also have to keep in mind that this is 10 years old at this point. And this song is fantastic, too.
I'm now in the final patch of Endwalker, and the story is so fantastic. I keep watching reactions to the story (particularly Shadowbringers), because it's so good. I'm actually thinking about finishing the game again with my old character.
If you have the time, play this game. It's an MMO, but 90% of it can be played as a single player as well, and the story will get you invested more than any other game. I have cried so much playing this!
Definitely a game I'd love to experience! Does look awesome!
And id say more than 90 since they added Duty Support support for all but 3 post StB dungeons so you can do everything MSQ solo barring just trials and the last 3 dungeons in Post StB.
@@sorinsnow3232 And the Crystal Tower Raids at the end of ARR, IIRC.
@@MacTaipan o shoot ye, i forgot Crystal Tower was necessary XD funny seeing as how im near the end of ShB XD
@@GOTGames It may be both hard and easy to get into. Easy cause it does a lot of handholding, it's great for someone just starting to play an MMORPG as it really eases you into the gameplay. Hard if you expect it to start out as epic and exciting as the trailer you just watched. Don't get me wrong - it does definitely get to that level of epicness and excitment as you proceed further into the story. However it does have a slow start and if you get easily bored, you may drop it before you reach the really good parts. It really pays off though with one of the best, maybe even -the- best, story experience a game can offer.
YES! FINALLY GETTING INTO FFXIV MUSIC! Trust me dude, they have the BEST music of any active game rn!
there are so many good FF14 OST's and cinematic's you 100% need to do reactions to the other FF14 expansion cinematic's as they are all awesome with really good OST's :)
So great to see you react to this! It really is an amazing cinematic and it is a cinematic in the game. As an active FFXIV player I am so happy to see! It has a lot of emotions into what is going on if you ever were to follow the story of this. It is one of my favorite songs! This Final Fantasy is a bit different than the other ones as this is an MMORPG, but it is a great game if you have the time to play thru it & all the expansions. As for the part that was after they teleported there is a reason for it, but I don't want to spoil anything, but mostly this was originally a cinematic trailer for when 1.0 was shutdown and they released "A Realm Reborn".
YAAAAY!!! The Flames Of Truth is the "complete" version of this cinematic opposed to this one..but I'm so happy to see you reacting to this in general! You'd love the other expansion cinematics as well! FFXIV's story is stunning all through-out and especially once you get to Shadowbringers. ^-^
The dragon destroyed a country but it was defeated and its a mystery as to how it was stopped. Theres an optional quest line in the first expansion that answers that mystery.
Also the song "Answers" is actually very important to the themes of the game.
All in all this story is 11/10
OMG LUKE!! I just started this game a few weeks ago and I fell in love with it. The community is amazing as everyone is helping each other and especially nice to newbies like myself. I joined a Japanese server to interact with people that live in Japan since I live in the States. The game play is fun and the music and the story line is very captivating!!
We are viscously protective of our 'sprouts'..... No MMO is ever truly 'free' of people being asshats, but in FFXIV that percentage is damn near only 1%.
We will turn on a troll like a pack of wolves if they are being mean to a sprout and we are in the same dungeon/raid.
Day 1 of requesting a reaction to the following openings:
Chivalry of a Failed Knight op
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress op
Darling in the Franxx op
Kiznaiver op
You could make a multiple op reaction for this. Thank you!
Oh shooooot are we getting all the ff14 cinematics?! Hope you enjoy them!
Btw there is a direct sequel cinematic to the dragon situation, called flames of truth. Shows what happens. It was originally revealed when you fought the boss ingame. Watch that too.
Well, you probably shouldn't if you plan to actually play the game.
The story is so deep and well crafted beyond what you think watching the trailer shows you. You get invested in the stories and growth of the NPC's. You laugh with them, cry with them, celebrate and mourn. It is well worth playing, even though a realm reborn will be 10 years old in august. The soundtrack is fantastic and is always memorable. It is so well put together through visual, artistic style, music. There is so much to do in the world, you can never be bored.
Day 71 of recommending the Beyblade openings.
There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!
Im praying for your success. He will have to react to it before the end of the Year no matter what!!!
You ABSOLUTELY HAVE to check out the other trailers for the other expansion theme songs!! They're all amazing, and the cinematics are fantastic!!
I’m sure others have explained it but this trailer really sets the scene very well. That dragon was supposed to end the world. The elf mage (named Louisoix) teleported those warriors from the battle, to 5 years into the future. Somehow the dragon didn’t destroy the world and no one really knows why. No one can even remember clearly the names or faces of the warriors of light (the group that got teleported to the future). All they know is Louisoix and the warriors of light stopped the world from getting destroyed. The first part of the game (before the first expansion) is finding out how Louisoix and the warriors of light saved everyone.
The reason the warriors that got teleported didn't seem upset, is because they can tell they're in the same place but the battle is long since over. They're overjoyed that the world is still there and seems to be healing.
There's a extended version which shows the result of the mage/dragon battle. It was a cinematic that played during one of the final raids (endgame content) for the 2.0 version of the game. Short explanation is the mage used time magic to send the warriors of light (player characters represented by those warriors) to the future, his magic also ends up wiping peoples memories. If you were in the game during the final 1.0 moments then when you start 2.0 you warp in like they did at the end of the trailer whereas everyone else who wasn't has a standard opening scene.
The story of FF14 is just one EPIC event after another. Every single expansion begins with a bang and ends with a bang that leaves you so hyped for more!
The character arcs, and the story progression are the best of any game I've played before IMO.
I hope to see you react to the rest of the FF14 trailers.
Each expansion has its own trailer, the one you watched was for A Realm Reborn aka FF14 2.0 and sets the stage for where the story picks up for new players.
I just love how you start out as a nobody adventurer, and end 7.0 as a hero the entire world knows as the "Warrior of Light", savior of the planet!
If you do ever decide to check out the game, keep in mind that the game is MASSIVE, with all the expansions currently out just going through the main story alone is probably ~150 hours or so if you speed through it ignoring any side quests. Once you add all the side quests there's easily 1,000 hours of game content in there. And while not every side quest is of the same quality of storytelling as the main story line, there are quite a few side stories that have long lasting pay-offs as well and are in their own way amazing, emotional, funny, thrilling, or all of the above.
Oh, and what happened in the video is not entirely clear because you're supposed to piece it together during the game story. But basically Luoisoix, the old guy with the staff sent everyone away and remained behind alone to battle the dragon. He essentially pulled a Gandalf/Balrog "you shall not pass" thing. No one knows what happened, the dragon (Bahamut) disappeared from the battlefield, as did Luoisoix, all they were able to find was the broken pieces of his staff (Tupsimati - yes, the staff is a named item). Then the story picks up 5 years later, as the world moves on from the Calamity (as they came to call it), there is a strange hole in everyone's memory of the events that transpired on that day. No one can recall the faces or names of the heroes who fought against Bahamut. And while there's still widespread destruction, the rebuilding is well underway but there are still many scars left on the world. Entire regions of the world had the climate permanently shift as a consequence, mountains were leveled or new mountains thrust out where there were none before, that sort of thing. Previously fertile lands, in some places, became frozen tundra.
I hope this gives you a little bit of a clarification.
Others have already answered multiple times explaining the dragon Bahamut and what happened so I will just add, yes, the music in game is just as awesome as in this video. If you are at all interested in playing, you will not be disappointed.
HOLY shit finally!!!
Perfect, I was just looking to listen to this for the first time in a while!
I played FFXIV just on trial but I can tell you is amazing! My brother plays it since like 6 years ago and he always tells me how the story progress and is wonderful all the lore there is. Hope you can react to more cinematics bc the music is 1000/100!
Oh they make all kinds of great trailers which you have to watch - seriously. They are amazing.
as a 55 year old woman, who has played FF games since FF 6, and still actively plays ff14 welcome to the rabbit hole. I would happily watch you stream ff14
There are 3 versions of this trailer.
Beginning up to the teleport -> Played at the end of 1.0
What you saw -> Answers -> Played at the beginning of 2.0
Same up to the teleport, then something new-> Flames of Truth -> Plays toward the end of ARR, shows what the heck happened
This was shown when the servers for ff14 version 1.0 was shut down. A realm reborn is version 2.0 the NoClip Documentary on the game is fantastic. (Thier is a five year time skip in universe)
they got teleported to the future by the old wise wizard. there is a cutscene (Flame of truth) which will make understand what happen after they got teleported.
There is also
Heavensward trailer
stormblood trailer.
Shadowbringer trailer.
endwalker trailer.
and a lot of amazing for a reaction video.
The amazing thing about this song is how much the lyrics tie into FFXIV's themes
THIS! This kind of reaction is what I come to youtube to see lol. The eye wells, the chest swells. This is the power of Final Fantasy 14.
I have very vivid memories of seeing this cinematic for the first time and crying.
Knowing what it means; having all the context after years of playing this game... It never fails to get me emotional. Both the ingame lore and the real world circumstances.
For some context you need to know that when FFXIV originally came out, it had issues. A lot of them. To the point where no matter how good the story was, it was barely playable. So the dev team made a choice to end the game as it was and remake it completely new. The first half of this trailer was seen for the first time when the original servers shut down; playing the cinnematic before everyone was kicked off. It was the culmination of everything everyone in the world had fought for.
The second half of this cinematic came together with the re-launch of the overhauled game and was "A Realm Reborn".
As for your question on whether the game is just as epic: Yes. 100% yes. It starts of slow; as it builds the world and the characters and the story but the further you go the more amazing it gets. It's not all cgi cutscenes the entire time to this level, but in terms of how it feels? Yes.
You touched on some points that are pretty accurate, so much so that some of those elements are explored later in the story. I think you would enjoy playing this game, it would certainly get you a lot of traffic
Seeing you react to something from my absolute favorite game, my heart swells with joy. Final Fantasy 14 is epic en the story is amazing and this trailer gives me chills and tears every single time. The music in ffxiv is beyond epic and I would be overjoyed to see you try the game. It is an MMORPG though, so it'll take a lot of time to get through, especially since it has so many expansions already, but I'd watch you play this all the way. Welcome to FFXIV rabbithole, you'll be getting more and more music asks for this game now and they are all either emotional, bangers or both :D
his eyes are tearing up.. mine does as well every single time I hear this song. Some music you listen to and some you feel.
As a long-time FFXIV player, I can confidently say that this game is absolutely this epic, yes. LOL
I started this game nearly 4 years ago during World of Warcraft's 'Battle for Azeroth' expansion. I haven't looked back. This song destroy's me everytime i hear it, especially after the most recent expansion. This too was my first Final Fantasy game.
This is for sure one of the craziest trailers of all time, it was for the 2.0 reboot of Final Fantasy XIV, one of only two MMOs in the mainline FF series. The 1.0 version of the game was received quite poorly and the game almost fell apart before Naoki Yoshida stepped in and took over the project, won back the trust of FF and MMO fans alike, and turned it into the most profitable FF game ever made. This storyline played out in game, where the Eorzean Alliance and the Garlean Empire were battling at Carteneau, and you could see Dalamud (big red moon that breaks open in this cinematic to release Bahamut) in the sky when playing, while this song "Answers" was playing quietly on loop in the background. The devs incorporated the closure of the 1.x servers into the story, and had it so as soon as the servers went down, this cinematic played for everyone. There's footage of all this in-game stuff on youtube that is really cool to watch, if you search "ffxiv last moments of eorzea", you'll find it and can skim through it on your own time.
As for what happened with the teleporting shenanigans, the "king wizard" dude (Louisoix) teleported the group 5 years into the future, which is when the 2.0 storyline begins, after the world has begun to heal from the destruction brought about by Bahamut, which is shown in the second half of this cinematic. As for how the world wasn't completely destroyed, there's another version of this cinematic called "Flames of Truth" with an extra bit at the end (about 5:30 into the video to skip the parts you've already seen) showing how Louisoix stopped Bahamut, which players got to see after defeating the first raid series of the 2.x game, "The Binding Coils of Bahamut".
He teleports them five years into the future which is when A Realm Reborn takes place. You are close enough.
@@alannacrystal thanks for the correction, it’s been a long time since I thought about all this so I wasn’t very confident in the number of years
I hope you can play till the end of 6.0,
2.0 and 4.0 are little bit boring many people quit in the middle of 2.0,
but 5.0 to 6.0 will blow your mind.
I think the whole "4.0 is boring" is poisoning the well a bit. I actually enjoyed SB and I didn't even make it to the post patch content that people say saves it on my first character.
Then again I mostly enjoyed 2.0 as well so maybe that just says something about me.
1:20 you don't have to to understand 14. Each FF game is a story in itself, they rarely connect, reference maybe.
So to put this into perspective for you on this vid, it happens after the original FF14 1.0 came to an end. That is right it ended, the original game was such a flop that people were fired, they killed it, burned it to the ground literally, and remade it from scratch and that is how you get the current game. Yoshi-P pulled a genius move and actually included it into the story too. So This trailer first played the day the servers went down on 1.0, there was that "moon" in the distance that slowly got closer and then anyone who was on the server the day of shutdown, got this trailer as it closed for the final time. Shortly after 2.0 A Realm Reborn came out and this is our introduction as well, followed by the second part as a reintroduction, that starts around the 9 min mark in your vid. After that you have Heavensward 3.0 (free to play up to this point btw), Stormblood 4.0, Shadowbringers 5.0, and Endwalker 6.0 current expansion, also the last in this story line supposedly.
Game turns 10 years this year, give it a shot man.
PS: If you dont know which class you want to start, check out JoCat's vids on 14 roles, they are funny and educational. or I can just narrow it down for you.
DPS - your job is do damage lots of it - Lancer, Pugilist, Rogue (technically not a starter but you can pick them up early in Limsa) are your up close and beat you in face dps classes, lancer and pugilist have more skills that are based on your orientation to the enemy aka from back or side to do bonus. Archer and thurmaturge are the ranged and magical starters, and summoner which starts as arcanist but splits into two classes so I will list the advanced you get at 30 instead of the base for that one, just know arcanist is little odd because it levels 2 classes at once. These are available but you can not start as these so consider them later if you want: Samurai, Reaper, Machinist, Dancer, Red Mage
Healer - your job is keep the party alive... and do some damage as able - Conjurer or Scholar (the other arcanist split class) basically do you like pure big healing or do you like more mitigation through shields. Astrologian and Sage are available later and are also heal vs shield heals for preference with some more steps, lot of people love sage btw.
Tanks - your job is turn on the tank stance and make everything more angry at you by doing damage - Gladiator or Maurader, sword and shield or axe smash you in face style. Both are pretty comparable early, later they differentiate a lot though, if you like more utility gladiator will become paladin and has some holy magics, maurader will become warrior aka AXE REALLY SMASH YOU IN FACE NOW! Dark Knight and Gunbreaker are not usable in early game but are there later, both are more dps style of tanks honestly, can be fun, harder to play.
My dude! Thank you for the video. If you liked this one, which is FFXIV’s 2.0 A Realm Reborn Trailer, then you NEED to see the remaining five (5). Yes, there’s six (6) Expansions in total thus far. Everyone’s favorite is 5.0’s Shadowbringers and 6.0’s Endwalker. You need to see those ones.
Welcome to our world, we hope you enjoy your stay.
A hint going forward, the axe wielding human is the trailer's representation of your character.
Basically, this is two cinematics spliced together. The first one is the cutscene displayed as the original game's servers were taken offline for good. Basically, the old man (his name is Louisoix) teleports the heroes away before facing his and the realm's imminent doom. The second cinematic was added for the 2.0 trailer and shows the heroes arriving five years in the future. They find the land has mysteriously recovered somehow, though no one can recall how exactly it happened (the truth is revealed during the 2.0 endgame raid series, The Coils of Bahamut - see the "Flames of Truth" cinematic for spoilers). Its inhabitants are still recovering from the calamity five years prior, while struggling with constant threat from elemental monsters called primals, as well as the invading forces of the Garlean empire. Not to mention the shadowy faction which orchestrated the whole calamity in the background. Thus begins A Realm Reborn.
The moment when everyone sees this destruction raining down and is like "What can we even do against that?" and gives up, but Louisoix is the one soul left on the map with a little fight left in him. Single handedly looks up against the destruction of the world and says no.
I've been playing this game for nearly 3 years, and it is the most stunning game on the planet!
Been subbed to ff14 for 6 years, great game. Final fantasy games are all contained stories so hoping into any game is fine. Ff16 is actually a pretty good entry point for new fans. My personal favorite before ff16 was ff6.
6 was epic. The height of the pixel era.
@@MJG206 hell yeah
The look of utter bewilderment when it switched from End of an Era to A Realm Reborn is priceless! What happened in between those two trailers is explained in-game; despite how it looks, it's not a plothole. The game is utterly amazing, and currently allows you to play something like 46% of it's main story for free, going up to around 65% in early October, then down to around 55%, estimated, when the new expansion drops summer 2024
to help explain some of the confusion that happened when we cut to happy scenes.
There are a couple of version of this cinematic that are mostly identical, this one is the trailer for FFXIV: A Realm Reborn. It shows the entirety of the cinematic (the version called "End of an Era") that played when the 1.0 version of the FFXIV ended and they started preparing to relaunch as A Realm Rebborn. This version, A New Beginning, shows all of the End of an Era cinematic then continues by following the characters that were teleported, hence the happy bit that teases some of the new things that make up A Realm Reborn.
The last version of the trailer is call "Flames of Truth" and yet again shows all of the End of an Era cinematic but then continues to show the mage's experience after he teleports the other characters away.
FFXIV is my favourite videogame of all time, and I highly recommend it, the cinematics and the OST. Masayoshi Soken is a Musical Genius. You definitely should consider playing it.
There's so much emotion in this song and the storytelling in this video. Even without ever having played FF14 I remember I shed a tear over this the first time I saw it and still feel emotional every time I rewatch it.
Have this as one of my tracks in my Room at my Free Company House, as well as Solid and Songs of Salt and Suffering.
Ok here's the rundown. Final Fantasy 14 is a Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game "MMORPG." The first Expansion is what we call Final Fantasy 1.0 it came out back in 2010. The director at the time and the programmers pretty much made it SUCK as a game, but many die-hard fans pushed through and kept playing. The company "Square Enix" that hold the rights to the Final Fantasy franchise was losing a crap ton of money and so fired the director and hired another one by the name of Naoki Yoshida. This man revamped the whole game and saved it by redoing pretty much the whole game in terms of programming new things into it. Such as better movement, better character animations, fights, story elements ect. So the cinematic you saw is how Square Enix introduced all the Final Fantasy 1.0 players to not only a new expansion of the game, but to Final Fantasy 2.0 also called it "A Realm Reborn," which was pretty much Square Enix stating *"Hey we fixed the game, it's awesome, fans check us out, give our game another shot and see how much better it is. Oh and give us your money."*
As for the whole fight in the cinematic you need to know a few key things. One of them is in this games lore/history there are things called an *"Astral"* era and an *"Umbral"* era. When that era's civilizations are peaceful and developing that particular era of history is called its *Astral era*, but when things get chaotic and civilizations begin to war with each other as well as collapsing that era is coming to an end, aka its *Umbral* era where afterwards and new era will eventually begin.
In the game there have been 6 eras and the battle you saw was at the 6th eras Umbral state. In 1.0 there are nations of various species who can wield *Magic* and they are coming under siege by a Nation of people who cannot use magic but are capable of harnessing it and using it via means of technology. What needs to be noted is that in Final Fantasy 1.0 there are two moons (A white one which we don't know the name of, and a red one called *Dalamud*) A super bad dude discovered a secret of the red moon Dalamud and tries to pretty much crash it into the planet but unbeknownst to them it houses a dragon named Bahamut.
In the game you customize a character via species/gender/height/name/ect... Though all players who play the story will be referred to as the "Warrior of Light." The Warrior of Light solves problems and fights all manner of bad guys, monsters, and even pseudo-gods called *Primals*. Primals are the manifestation of any large organization or species God and given manifest by collecting a bunch of magic and making it have a physical body. The bad side is that anyone without a specific blessing will get enthralled by that God/Primal and driven to worship them with all the being.
Imagine you're just minding your business and then a Primal shows up, it uses it power to dominate your mind and next thing you know your crazily worshipping it so much you forget to sleep, eat, and take care of yourself until you ultimately die from worshipping too much.
Also what's worse is that all the life on the planet needs a steady flow of magic to survive, but a Primal just sucks it into its body continuously, making its surrounding a wasteland and threatening the life of the planet. The Warrior of Light along with other players fight these Primals in Boss Raids to *"Save the Day"* as it were.
Now Bahamut is a Primal that was summoned back in the 3rd era as a Divine Protector/God I guess to protect the Dragon Species from a super advanced group of people called the Allagans. The 3rd era came to a close eventually but not before the Allagans successfully imprisoned Bahamut into the red moon Dalamud, where again you watched it being unleashed.
As for the old looking elf man, he sends all those people to 2 years into the future I think? Where the world is safe again to continue there lives as Adventurers and The Warrior of Light.
God that was a lot, know clue if you'll read this or even understand it, but nevertheless try watching the cutscene of what happened to the old elf man after he teleported everyone to the future. There's a cinematic video of that on youtube somewhere. Also try watching all the other cinematic trailers for the other Expansions like *Final Fantasy 3.0 Heavensward*, *Final Fantasy 4.0 Stormblood*, *Final Fantasy 5.0 Shadowbringer*, and my favorite *Final Fantasy Endwalker.* Well have fun.
You're meant to be confused after the cut away from the dragon. What really happened on the battlefield of carteneau is one of the bigger mysteries of the original game.
"Answers" is basically the Theme Song to the entirety of the game, from ARR 2.0 all the way up to Endwalker 6.0. It is played many, MANY times in the game in various different forms, a lot of times it's just the melody without lyrics, or sometimes the lyrics are sung in a haunting way, quiet with lots of echoes (especially during the "Halloween" event called The Rising). Anybody aspiring to play XIV should look up the lyrics and learn them, they are very powerful lyrics, and have deep philosophical meaning in them, and the song just fits the whole game and all of its expansions at once, *AND* each expansion individually.
The dragon(Bahamut) happened 5 years ago, they beat the dragon, but at great cost. The teleport that the wizard did was supposedly teleporting them to safety, and to the future.
A quick explanation of the battlefield.
The heroes side is multiple groups that are a bit tribal and have access to magic, united as army.
The other side is a single massive invading army with technology and Magitech.
If you want to know what happened to the dragon, there is a raid that puts a lovely bow on the story as well as what happened to the old man.
The game Final Fantasy 14, or FFXIV (because who doesn't love Roman Numerals x3)
Is an MMORPG, with MMORPG combat. So, it is not Action game intense, the spectacle and music however is awesome.
That being said, the story is about as epic if not more than that trailer.
EDIT: Ps, the entire Song is the "Answers" song. It is one of the most iconic songs of the game for several reasons.
There is another full video of FFXIV that answers your questions at the end. It shows the guy who teleported everyone and what happened to bahamut
Damn watching this trailer makes me want to start playing again
I started playing this game in January 2020 shortly before the pandemic changed the course of things, and haven’t needed another game since. Answers is still my favorite motif.
"Is that alternate universe versions of those people?"
INTERESTING QUESTION
I'm SO HAPPY seeing you react to my favorite game!
I really can't listen to Answers anymore without tearing up T.T
Thou must live, die, and know.
I've played the game for literal years. Now that I think about it, it is kind of weird that the main party gets teleported away from a fiery apocalypse, then moments after they reappear in safety: "Wheeee! Chocobo ride!" lol
It's still the same realm that the battle took place in. The place of the battle was scarred beyond recognition, signaling the end of one era, and the beginning of the next. I'd go into more detail but the information is voluminous. Note that the dragon (Bahamut) actually destroyed a portion of the seafront city, called "Limsa Lominsa." The land, Eorzea, seems to go through a continuous cycle of destruction and rebirth like this.
If you do decide to play, avoid any spoilers. It is a long long journey and it is beautiful.
Only just seen this, but I hope you do a full playthrouigh of this game soon, You seem like a fun reactor to watch and I would relally enjoy reacting to a full FFXIV series, A relam reborn to endwalker finish
2010; an MMO was born,
2012 the original MMO died including the scenes shown up to 8:12,
2013; the MMO was remade and reborn both in development and in the games very lore, with the rest of the trailer showing the world 5 years later, still rebuilding from Calamity brought about by that MF God-like Dragon being released from it's prison in the guise of a 2nd, smaller, red moon
there's also a second part to this called "Flames of Truth" if you have questions about Gandalf vs Dragon after he sent everyone else away
The short version, without spoiling anything, is that after attempting to seal the dragon away, the old wizard guy teleports those characters (who represent the players of the original version of the game) 5 years into the future, at a time when the realm of Eorzea is still rebuilding and recovering from the events shown here, and nobody in Eorzea really knows what happened after the events you see in the first half of this trailer, or even why they don't remember. The current version of the game starts off here, 5 years after this Calamity.
To find out what actually happened, you'd have to play the level 50 Coils of Bahamut raid questline in FFXIV.
Flames of Rebirth is the full actual trailer that you get to see what happens to the Dragon btw.
This video is the ending of ffxiv 1.0 and the beggining of ffxiv 2.0
13:00 It's explained in the first few moments of the game, but it's been 5 Years after the "Calamity", when the Dragon attacked.
The world has change a fair bit, with whole landscapes changed from how they were back in 1.0 (the original game).
Now it's 2.0, A Realm Reborn (literally).
This is 10yrs ago trailer
And is even better than E3S8 GOT battle
And ofc brighter too 😂😂😂
believe it or not this was the final cutscene for 1.0 when the servers went down before shifting to 2.0 which this also doubles at the cinematic trailer for that version
I'm so happy you watched this. I know you've seen the endwalker cinematic, but I hope you watch Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers as well!
The game is amazing, i am a 15 year World of warcraft Veteran, but when i started this game 2 years ago i never looked back.
Oh boy, you have opened a can by watching this! Enjoy the inevitable ride, lol
Day 1 of helping @nobody_2.0 recommend the Beyblade openings.
There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. @nobody_2.0 made playlists on his channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!
Oh this game
Yes. The big boss fights have music like this and are INSANE.
Ah get ready to be transported into s new world full of adventures
You know. I have seen a LOT of people very new to Final Fantasy XIV as a game, or even Final Fantasy as a franchise. They see this, and it's incredible how why they may not understand what's happening from a storytelling standpoint. This trailer does an incredible job of capturing everything that was both the end of 1.0, and in time, the vastly revamped FFXIV that millions love to this day. And it's that gravitas that EVERYONE feels, that makes this so incredible.
For Context, when they shut down the servers in 1.0, they played this trailer.
More FF14! Yes!
FF14 is honestly my favorite RPG game, it is incredible! I've been playing it for 2 years now, and it is so good!
Never fails to either make me laugh, be in awe of the writing, or feel punched in the gut in the emotional scenes.
I'm with you. Finished 4.0 on my first character and started a new one cause I wasn't ready for ShB. Trying FF14 was probably the best decision I've made in years.
@@ladeao1552 Hahaha, but the Post-ShB patch content is so good! 😄
I'm on 6.1 myself, and I can say that the road from 4.0 to 6.0 is absolutely incredible. Just beat 6.0, and I had to soak everything in.
5.0 and 6.0 had me obsessed! Emotional, and on a high, but obsessed too! 😆
@@DXDragon38 On a slow burn with my main character, doing alot of everything I have access to as I unlock it so I don't forget it later. Just finished 3.0 so I'll make it there in the next year or two at current pace 😆
@@ladeao1552 Make sure you do all the Normal Raids, Alliance Raids, and as many Lvl 70 Job Quests as you can before you start Endwalker!
Trust me, it will only make your experience so much better.
A few Bozja or Eureka quests too if you want a little bit more dialogue options. Not needed though.
Oh, and I highly recommend you unlock a Job for each job category and raise them to 90, just to do the 5.0 and 6.0 Role Quests.
They are each separate from the MSQ, but when you do all of them they combine to tell an amazing story when paired with each expansion.
They even unlock some very interesting Lore Quests (marked Yellow for some of them)
The ones you saw before the player stand in and party ported in were the ones shown praying earlier in the video.
Ff14 was one of the few games to ever make me weep like a child.
"A smile better suits a hero"
You did in fact missed something, "flames of truth" is the part 2 to the dragon(bahamut). Also i could be mistaken but i believe the bahamut was casting teraflare at the end there which is more than capable of destroying a planet
What’s amazing is that before 1.0 got destroyed, if you were online before the destruction, you actually SAW the “egg” in the sky that Bahumat was in and I think it got closer and closer as the timer went on during the final days of 1.0. So as you were playing you just saw the end right before your eyes. So cool
The dragon is Bahamut, the king of dragons, first introduced in FF 2 as a story npc, iirc.
The confusion 🤣.
Yes, the Answers theme is about 1.0 version being destroyed and 2.0 (A Realm Reborn, "ARR") beginning.
The Skyrim guy is the Warrior of Light, he's your character insert being the hero of the story.
This was first shown ingame as the end sequence of FFXIV 1.0, when world was destroyed and the servers shut down.
There is another version of the answers video that shows what happens after the old man, Louisoix, teleports everybody away. That might fill some of the gaps for you
FFXIV is the best game of any type I have ever played and I have been playing since Atari first came out. The first part, ARR A Realm Reborn, starts out a little slow, but gets more exciting as it goes, with each expansion getting better and better. The story is just so damn good. I have played it completely through on my main character and am playing it through again on several alts. Also, there is just so much else to do besides the main storyline, all of it accompanied by the amazing music. It is just an incredible game. ❤
I love the FFXIV soundtrack. I think my favorite song from FFXIV is Dragonsong. I just love how beautiful the song is. I have it playing on my private island so I can hear it every time I go there. I never tire of it.
Final Fantasy 14 has some really epic story moments and fights, definitely recommend playing it.
And totally react to more stuff, like the other trailers or some osts! 🥰
As many in the comments have said but I'll recap anyway because I like the sound of my own voice (or in this case, the tone of my own typing), this trailer is the death of FF14 1.0. You literally cannot play 1.0 anymore the dragon wiped it out and gave the game a reset. The whole situation is far more complex than that, but that's what it boils down to. If you're interested, though!! There's a 3-part documentary by NoClip here on CZcams about the development of 1.0, what led to its downfall, and the creation of A Realm Reborn. The first video is 50 minutes, the second about 30, and the last about 20. Incredible watches truly. So much went into the creation of this game
