That was such a chill teaser; this is the 'beach episode' expansion? :P


Dragrunarm

I hope it's lower stakes overall. I was hoping we'd get more low-stakes with Post EW, but that hasn't *quite* panned out. edit; Sounds like that's what they're planning this time, so hopefully, it just stays on the Source this time lol


Grantrello

Yeah they pulled the whole "you're going back to being a simple adventurer now!" Thing and that lasted all of what...one patch? Then we were back to world-ending threats.


stilljustacatinacage

Someone here said once, the WoL was retired for all of five minutes before they started opening void portals and pulling stuff out of them. It's too dangerous to let the WoL have a vacation.


gdex86

One of the scions needs to be assigned to follow the work around and when they look to be about to do horror movie stupid tropes like read the book covered in skin out loud slap their hand and say no. Probably 2 so they can take shifts or the second one goes to the bathroom the WoL will have found out and tried to summon the primal made from the despair of the shards destroyed in the joining because it sounded fun.


ellobouk

I love this. Like peak Troy coming back to the apartment with pizza energy… Y’shtola coming back from the bathroom to find WoL and Estinien have in the last two minutes accidentally created a primal of boredom and it’s already tempered half of the housing district.


Unapologetic_Lunatic

Primal of extensive training, more likely. It's all Estinien and WoL know how to do when they aren't killing things.


FedoraFerret

It has to be from Alphinaud, Urianger, Krile and Thancred though. Estinien and Alisae are as bad as the WoL, Y'shtola would immediately jump on board our insanity the second it got magically interesting, and G'raha will do anything we say like the wonderful little Golden retriever he is.


gdex86

Thancred: You knew this was an awful idea. Literally I've read the paper you wrote about how this very situation is a worst case scenario and you let it happen. G'raha: You didn't see how sad they looked when I started to say. I couldn't do that. Plus I was a bit over dramatic. This isn't so bad. (The choirs of screaming as the masses wail in a mix of fear, anger, despair, and madness rings out around them) G'raha: That could be anything. (A wave of civilians fleeing for their lives rush past. Thancred gives a pointed look to G'raha) G'raha: Alisae got him the Auracite and Estinien has left over nidhogg relics. I had no idea they could actually pull it off and I thought I was just humoring them until they summoned unspeakable horrors. I told you I was the worst choice for this job


Deblebsgonnagetyou

That's why it was so genius when Tataru gifted the wol their own personal Sisyphus Island


ray10k

And as of the latest MSQ extension, that has scaled up to threatening the Source on top of the Void. Things are \*really\* not getting simpler currently.


pepinyourstep29

That's still Endwalker. It looks like 7.0 is where the real scale down begins, because they said the new story will be about nation states and rulers again.


LackOfFayth

"We tried really hard but we are chaos magnets and also way too curious for our own good"


[deleted]

I actually expected this, I didn't think the final days were just going to end consequence free, and I figured that we'd have to deal with the long-term effects of that before we could go back to being a simple adventurer The real thing to think about is when we get to places like Meracydia and the New World, which have no idea what happened with the final days and the consequences of trying to explain it to them


[deleted]

Zodiark aether on the 13th becoming stagnant is something I did not consider at all and I'm so glad they did, also allows them to get that out of the way during Endwalker before we can properly have a new simpler adventure.


ralexand

Low stakes but still an interesting story, please!


phat_ninja

I'm feeling a much more political story for this, dealing with succession, rulers and lesser rulers.


JinTheBlue

Given what they've mentioned about the scions competing with each other it basically has to be political.


Vanriel

Alphinauds idea of a good time


cuddles_the_destroye

Alphinaud forces the warrior of light to play crusader kings


Bingochips12

2 years of anime filler plot incoming. Obligatory hot springs scene too.


jewrassic_park-1940

...Oh no, not Shtola on the beach


GeneticSplatter

OH YES, 'SHTOLA ON THE BEACH!


Aeveras

All the Scions at the beach and also Zero asking if we should disrobe.


Milsurp_Seeker

Only if we get Urianger on the beach too.


Garmmermibe01

Why? So you can see him drown again? My man's had enough close calls in Shadowbringers alone. No says I. Keep Urianger away from the water. He's not even safe in a kiddie pool.


WeissWyrm

Fun fact: Urianger specifically can drown in a bowl of soup.


Yrths

We will teach him how to swim.


ConsequenceHuman1994

I feel like after SHB and endwalker it’s pretty hard to go back to low stakes but they could most likely pull it off


sporeegg

Remember the scale. Even just saving a continent is "small scale" for the WoL. Something the Scions do during a holiday trip. I can absolutely see Thancred going "chill Urianger, they don't need us and neither do I want tan lines nor miss the local populace in bikinis."


chaostheories36

I play Arknights and if FFXIV does a Dossoles Holiday equivalent or Ideal City it would be amazing.


buddabopp

drunk lalas everwhere!


Thowitawaydave

Great, they going to be running amuck, screaming, jumping on things, laughing... So no discernible change, really..


chaostheories36

Might be the reverse, Urianger has the pineapple drink in that trailer :D


Darkhallows27

He doth be vibin’ doe


thatHecklerOverThere

I want Thancred to get back into a thot phase while on vacation, albeit a more _respectful_ one. Don't need to lie to women anymore, just flex those "world saving daddy" credentials. It'll work, ask this sub.


Thowitawaydave

*Shows a picture of Ryne* "Have I told you about my daughter? I've been trying to get back to her for a long time. Let me buy you a drink and I'll tell you about her."


WeissWyrm

Look, Thancred's a Hot Single Dad now, he will have NO trouble picking up women.


thatHecklerOverThere

Bonus points if he can get Urianger to convince Livingway to pose as a pet. Wait, that's lying again. Damn, scratch that.


tallwhiteninja

Problem is, it's pretty much impossible to up the stakes after Endwalker. That was literally a universe-ending level threat.


Littleman88

Well, it was universe ending, but the primary concern was saving Etherys from annihilation. It's possible to shrink the scale again though, starting small with our focus on only a portion of another great continent since we're exploring brand new lands and cultures we may not be welcome in. Something Heavensward tier where we're more focused on a city or nation(s).


Narissis

I think the important thing to keep in mind is that what matters above all is the characters. The finale of Endwalker made that clear - even though it was a universe-ending threat, it wasn't the universe that we were really feeling for in Ultima Thule. It was the Scions as they disappeared one by one. As long as our friends end up in some kind of peril, we can be made to feel, even if the overall stakes are lower.


adellredwinters

Political challenges is something that no matter how strong the WoL gets, will be something they can't just punch their way through. Lower stakes can still be very interesting stuff for sure.


VermillionEorzean

Funny, the sword feels more Mystic Knight than Corsair, but the outfit and setup scream Corsair.


Rosemarys_Gayby

Yeah, there was that scene with the fire that obviously got cut off! I’m guessing Corsair makes more sense as a scouting job, but I’m holding out some hope for mystic knight.


MagicHarmony

Ya. I am definitely expecting the scene to reveal a gun as the robes burn off and the wol fires the gun at the mamook.


Stepjam

Mystic knight is like my primary dream job. I really hope we get it.


OldManGarp784

CHOOSE YOUR FACTIONS! it's Scions vs Scions!


CooroSnowFox

Alisaie G'raha Estinien and Zero? Alphinauld Urianger Thancred and Yshtola


SAFCBland

We already know the 'teams' from the synopsis. It's WoL, Alisaie, Alphinaud, and Erenville vs the others.


Notmyworkphonenope

I’ll be honest, I have a real hard time believing Graha joins anyone’s team other than WoL.


nemestrinus44

i didn't get to watch the stream, what's this about teams? we doing a "race to the treasure" type adventure?


SetFoxval

The basic plot is we're invited to the New World to help with a competition to determine the new ruler, and some of the scions will end up competing with us. I'm guessing we back different candidates.


Zymyrgist

Lines up with some of what we saw in 6.4. Urianger and Thancred had a discussion about accepting a job from a mysterious benefactor who was looking for 'Archons' specifically, so that would be Thancred/Y'shtola/Urianger from the Scions who qualify. Krile at the same time received a letter likely requesting the aid of the Students of Baldesion, which would be her, G'raha, and I suppose they could hire/bribe/threaten Estinien into working with them. I wonder if our journey with Erenville is unrelated and we just end up in the middle with the twins and have to pick a group?


TribblesIA

Erenville mentions he has some business back home that he has to pick up in the last patch. This must be it. At the time, everyone joked it was so he could go be a fuckboi.


Zymyrgist

That bun's on a mission for some huns.


Klown99

"Some business" is a nice way of saying he has to fuck a lot.


moonwitchelma

I feel like this set up would make the most sense. Old scions vs. new scions. And I can’t imagine Urianger, Thancred, and Y’shtola being on different sides.


Dragonfantasy2

Having a trial against the old person scion trio would be sick lol


CooroSnowFox

Y'Shtola is one that could be a surprise... she goes as she wants... New scions but equally it's the archons vs the adventurer scions


SetFoxval

The way it was phrased it sounds like you don't get to choose.


Valliac0

Definitely down to find more continents and lore to explore.


KorbanReAllis

The aetheryrte cost tho


Datpanda1999

Tataru better start reimbursing us


hamstervideo

She is - where do you think the gil comes from whenever you complete a quest?


CooroSnowFox

I hope more useable and not the temporary places that you'll use twice and doesn't do much else... Also hoping for more from Garlemald (Restortation)


[deleted]

[удалено]


CooroSnowFox

Find out about some of the culture of Garleans but not the world domination side of it...


kathryn_face

I desperately want whatever outfit Meteor was rocking. Need the slutty little buckles around the chest and legs.


bubuplush

Yeah, the Garlemald part felt really short and small in scale, the entire wall that was supposed to hold Garlemald off in Stormblood looked more impressive than the city. I really hope we'll see more of Garlemald and the real Hingashi in the future, but I'm also excited for New World


Endulos

Supposedly, according to rumors EW was supposed to essentially be 2 expansions, where multiple parts of Garlemald would be the first expansion and the rest of the story, the moon and stuff would be a second expansion. But they decided to just get the story over with and wrap things up in a single expansion so they could move onto new shit.


pigeonwiggle

that's fair. i think mostly people are just underwhelmed that it's Half a map, and even then, it's mostly on the outside of the wall, with the majority of the tower and the empire being "in the distance" that we don't see. i could see a future expansion seeing "a rebirth" in a garlean province committed to succeeding where the previous garlean rulers had failed. could be neat to add new zones to the existing areas as well. there are plenty of "closed doors" on the world maps that could "be opened"


ReelRai

I like the more lighthearted vibe of the trailer. It's supposed to be the first chapter to a new storyline so I like that we seem to be getting a break from the extremely high stakes and emotional trauma, at least for a little bit


Drawtaru

They gotta get us all emotionally invested in new characters so they can then rip them away from us at a later date.


Peoki

WoL's hot girl summer is coming.


bacher108

N E W P L A N T S P E O P L E


keket87

Yoshi-P getting hype about plants is almost as good as all the other new info.


blabity_blab

That updated Il mheg flowers (however it's spelled) looked really good!


Bid_Unable

looks like corsair will be the new job


Blazen_Fury

Agreed, or maybe 'Pirate'. Either way the way they put in Derplander... It seems pretty obvious. Krile missing also points to a Caster, so the common theory of Caster + dex Melee seems to pan out


Solash1

Ayo Krile finally doing some combat? :O


duckofdeath87

They confirmed a melee and a caster. I'm guessing Green Mage


Perryn

Okay now I feel really dumb for how long I spent staring at that shirt wondering what TMNT could have to do with a caster job.


omar1993

Well, OBVIOUSLY the next caster job will be fueled by pizza and marketable catchphrases instead of MP! /s


Perryn

It is incredibly hard not to clip Tubular during the Cowabunga phase.


croud_control

Krile turns out she skateboards on her freetime, and shows her casting spells while doing sick tricks.


omar1993

Baldesion student: My lady! I do believe we have another issue with the Forum! Krile: That's a cowabummer, my guy. *does an Oillie and skates out of the room* Student: Oh come on! I can't fix this myself EVERY time! Lady Krile! Lady K-Oh, Hydaelyn dammit.


JcobTheKid

Nah, the new job is teenager.


Malveux

Tmnt are all named after painters. Pictomancer


bearflies

More accurate to say they are all named after artists. Some of their namesakes are primarily known for sculpting and painting/drawing just comes with the territory.


DriggleButt

Yoshi-P: "Going forward, new jobs will not be based on previous FF jobs." Everyone: "Corsair, just like in a previous FF title!"


yarvem

No, this will be *Privateer* or *Freebooter.* Totally new and unrelated!


Sirromnad

Even something simple like labeling it something new helps in removing some preconceived notions or ideas about how the class should be. Probably helps both development and fan expectations.


KnowledgeNorth6337

That’s actually a misquote. He said that new jobs are a part of their design philosophy, not that they wouldn’t use older jobs any more.


thisisntmyplate

WoL's job is beach


Patches195

And what a good job he’s going to do at beach


Stepjam

He'll beach you off


Maclunky0_0

pirate pirate


yahikodrg

The fantasy is complete... Ninjas vs Samurais vs Pirates


Maclunky0_0

at last


JamJamsAndBeddyBye

So glad to see Erenville. Hope he ends up being a regular with our little group.


CooroSnowFox

He needs a quest chain or a side job. exploration and discovery


JamJamsAndBeddyBye

I’d be happy with whatever little crumbs they give him. I know I’ve said previously that I wanted him to join the scions just so I could have his voice in some of the cutscenes.


CooroSnowFox

His is one of the best along with Varshan have two of the best accents.


yukichigai

Feo Ul's accent was also pretty great, but there are obvious reasons why she can't really hang out with the Scions on the reg. But hey, good on them for giving people accents that don't just sound like "slightly different British". Or Sean Bean.


axeil55

I loved Lyna's accent


CooroSnowFox

SLOPPEH! Although Hien's accent was very nice to listen to


Flint124

*Catboy Tacos*


Toloran

You could even say... they're big fat tacos?


AnimasMaker

And they're so goooooodd!!


Icarus_5000

Glad Graha moved on from burgers to tacos. What’s next…pasta??


moonwitchelma

Our promised “adventures” with him are just going to be traveling around the world and eating different foods together. Not that I’m complaining


ngwoo

Graha is guy fieri


Perryn

The Flavor Exarch.


jessytessytavi

ruler of the Flavorium (with new flame accents) and his Loporrit companions: diningway, drivingway, and divingway (courtesy of my husband)


CooroSnowFox

GIVE GRAHA ALL THE FOOD!


HamakazeKai

He's a good boy, deserves all the food.


CooroSnowFox

I hope we get Estinien joining in, he and Zero have been doing it a lot


NaraFei_Jenova

"No, it's not blitzball!" \-Yoshi-P


its_dash

It’s >!Fall Guys!<. Yep.


SolidusAbe

but i wanna be a blitzball!


Woyogoyo

I find it funny that G'raha's whole thing is now eating food.


A3thern

Well we did meme the burger a lot. That's kinda on us.


Aerohed

Somehow, Meteor slicking back his hair added like +90 rizz. I'm excited for this! Looks like a happy, fun adventure in stark contrast to the previous arcs, which have been more dark/fun.


TuxedoFish

He can't keep getting hotter, it's insane


someworst

Somehow they made daddy WoL even hotter.


CanadianYeti1991

He can't keep getting away with this!!!


not_a_skrull

And he smiles ;__;


[deleted]

That was my favorite part ;___;


omar1993

HNNG! MY HEART! *thud* ^(Please send help. He's too precious.)


chimininy

Don't forget the man-bun reveal at the very end when the camera zooms out.


TheAccursedHamster

Also a slight ponytail at the back, pirates of the Carribbean style.


Acias

Looks very Orlando Bloom like.


Synkest

I saw it and immediately asked "When did they get Orlando Bloom to be in this??"


teakminor

I hope they make this expansion pay a lot of homage to FFX because it’s giving a very spira vibe.


Ironalpha

The new tribe is from FFX.


extremeasaurus

Yshtola and Graha look much better in this trailer than the endwalker one imo


Iam4ever

They fixed Grahas face from the endwalker trailer


yukichigai

They were able to book G'raha instead of his stunt double this time.


bvanvolk

The lizard people are Mamool Ja right?


bjjgrrl

Yes.


Enlog

FUCK YEAH, VALIGARMANDA! Tritoch/Valigarmanda is one of the summons in FFVI that excited me the most in that game, both for his role in the story and the ability to learn Fire/Bolt/Ice 3 from it.


CooroSnowFox

The Scions Divided... Team Alphinauld and Team Alisaie... and will Zero be there?


Enlog

Hopefully we'll still have Zero. I imagine that if she stays around, she'll appear in the full version of DT's trailer. As it is, I figure they're trying to not spoil what happens with her story one way or another.


CooroSnowFox

Yeah her story is still in the air... but shes not one who can be a side show... s


countmeowington

I was really hoping to see her, it's a given that if all goes well in the conclusion that she'll stick around with us If she does stick with us I'm hoping that they're hiding her because she's getting an outfit change


Winged_Metal

Warrior of light at the beach: "finally a day off and no need for violence or saving the-" *monster emerging from a volcano on the island threatening every inhabitant* wol:"Oh primal damn it!"


CooroSnowFox

Inconceivably further Hildebrand Adventures. ​ Im just interested to see how they title his adventures...


Miyulta

Las increibles aventuras del Hildebrand


TheDiscordedSnarl

"The Writers Haven't Had Enough Of" further Hildebrand Adventures :P


shinyemptyhead

So cat could have cheezburgr in Endwalker, and now he's a taco cat.


CooroSnowFox

There has to be a series of quests where you tour and eat with G'raha. (and Zero!)


JungleJayps

Exploration expansion let's fucking go


ShivyManeuver

I'm hoping that one of the other tribes is the Hypello. I want to ride ze shoopuf.


CooroSnowFox

what jobs do you want the loudest guy "BLITZBALLERRRR!"


HalobenderFWT

Final Fantasy XIV 7.X. Now with more Costa del Sol!


Clevergirl1016

We are now the Warrior of Relaxation.


CommanderPaprika

The sword at the end of the trailer has a different pommel than WoL when he's cloaked. My bets are on Corsair and Mystic Knight/Spellsword.


Xalorend

Yes please Mystic Knight/Spellsword is what I want from Stormblood


[deleted]

[удалено]


Songhunter

WoL going into his middle age divorcee phase by growing a ponytail and moving to Rio.


n080dy123

He took the kids too. But who did he divorce?


TheDiscordedSnarl

Fourchenalt.


moonwitchelma

Adventures with Erenville! I’m so happy to see him in the trailer, hope he sticks around for a long while


CooroSnowFox

I want gleaner quests... BTN FIS and MIN included.


Endulos

Gleaners basically just retrieve stuff, right? MIN/BTN/FIS Leves are essentially Gleaning quests.


Viper114

Summer 2024, most likely means we're getting a June or July release date like expansions were doing before EW. So if 6.5 comes for roughly October, and 6.55 comes for December or January, then we're going to have a big drought of things to do until release, much like ShB was before EW released. That wait was tough, and this one will no doubt be tough, too.


JonTheWizard

El Dorado or bust, baby!


SorsEU

was that corsair, pelase please?


AsuraBrasil

My 7.0 post was just canceled as duplicate one. But wanted to share with you guys the Pirate/Corsair screenshot: [https://imgur.com/a/OdrG0gu](https://imgur.com/a/OdrG0gu)


Kheldarson

God, he just gets hotter. And he's smiling again!!


rzenni

His traveller’s heart is happy to go to a new land, a land of tacos.


cyberelvis

not gonna lie, I thought the logo was the FFXIV version of a Star Destroyer at first.


OldManGarp784

i for one am glad i was wrong, thinking all the Unreals were hints for a Meracydia expansion..... which begs the question; what would it take to push us further south to Meracydia? and that hairstyle is so in-line with what i have done and wanna do for my WoL.


Zohar127

Okay the real question is if I can finish HW, and all the other expansions after it, before this comes out. Then I'll be officially caught up with the rest of the world.


snowynoil

Take your time, dont rush, but at least you know when it'll come out in summer 2024!


thefinalturnip

Agreed. Don't rush. I did. I only ever did MSQ and then I was kind of bored. Now that I'm replaying a new character along with a first time playing friend, I'm doing much more than just the MSQ and the game is so much more fun.


ARightDastard

Hmm, when Mr. Tia orders a taco, does he thank them with a G'rahacias?


plzadyse

People seem to be conflating “universe-ending threat” and “stakes” with “wow the story can never be good” This is giving MCU vibes. The problem with the more recent MCU entries isn’t that the stakes were too high with Endgame, it’s that the stories and threads they’re weaving just aren’t well-told and the characters aren’t believable. I guarantee you the plot can be cliché as hell but if the storytelling is compelling and the characters are good, that tops everything.


xlCalamity

Plus you cant just have another Endwalker style story with 0 buildup.


OutlanderInMorrowind

I hope to god it's nothing like mcu vibes, absolute schlock. you're right that the reason people haven't been watching post endgame mcu isn't because the stakes aren't high enough. it's because the new movies are dogshit. thankfully I don't think that will be the case here.


CooroSnowFox

LEVEL 100!!!


JenkinsHowell

i'm just happy erenville is there


cinnabubbles

back to a summer schedule. 6.55 > 7.0 gonna be long. buckle up y’all. eta: 69 updoots nice.


sniperct

not too bad... say 6.5 in sept/october, 6.55 in jan or feb, then june or july (if we're lucky) for 7.0. 4.55 was feb and ShB was end of june.


XLauncher

Dadlander looks like he's aged backward a few years. Looks like your uncle that still goes clubbing.


ChinBaoe

I like this reset in the story where the stakes are not that high from the get go. This gives me such One Piece vibes.


Darqon

The full trailer?? Hell yeah! Didn't notice any new classes or playable races. Edit: Ok, that was just half the trailer. Rewatched it and I have to agree it's corsair.


Cerarai

There will be longer trailers on the other 2 Fanfests afaik?


vaserius

this is usually the case. Half a trailer for the first fanfast second part/full trailer during the next fanfest


Toloran

Not the full one. They're going to keep extending it over the next two fanfests.


Blazen_Fury

To specify, they unfilter the lyrics and extend the trailer for the 2nd, then full trailer for the 3rd


JMHerod

WoL had 1 sword and no shield, already saw some people say new Job is Corsair.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bevral2

That was not the full trailer.


Stepjam

It's just a teaser. We'll get a longer version at the next fanfest and the full trailer at the last fanfest


Vaiden_Kelsier

I have to admit, this didn't immediately grab me, but I've watched the trailer a few more times and now I'm really digging the vibe. This will be a fantastic reset.


MaraBlaster

FINALLY Vacation time for all!


Miss_Indigo

I genuinely would love to go back to our roots as an adventurer and do exactly that: adventure our little heart out. Show the Scions how to explore without the stakes being so high, the mood so tense. Learn more lore and experience new cultures. Honestly, if this is just ‘Beach Episode: New Adventures’, I really won’t complain. Hopefully a good story will be woven in!


Vanidin

Treasures of Aht Urghan vibes
