Heavensward MSQ

Im watching the credits now and I just wanted to say how awesome this story was to witness and experience. I loved everything from the narration into every new zone, the music, great cut scenes and ,yes, the new voice actors.

I just wanted to congratulate the team on a job well done! There were times I thought I was playing a single player Final Fantasy game. I gotta say, for me, this was a memorable story to play ever since FFXII.

I personally cannot wait to see where the story continues...

Well, technically speaking, the main story quest is a single-player Final Fantasy game, heh.

But yes, the MSQ this time around is a HUGE improvement over what we got in ARR. Really looking forward to future content now with how good Heavensward has been.

I did enjoy it and felt it was much better developed than 2.0 butthe finale was lacking a bit compared to the 2.0 ending.

I get they need some plot for 3.X content but far too many questions remains.

Also...

SPOILER

the part where we learn Y'shtola is slowly dying now due to using the Aether to see makes me worried that she may be killed off in 3.X or 4.0 Storyline.

during the story ending, i especially loved how frodo made it back from mordor.

and took all the credit :P without sam he would of died long ago tsk tsk tsk

I loved the whole journey and how they all sorta bonded..even though a certain dragoon had his armor on too tight at times lol

Sam was just being nice cause gollum bit frodo's ring finger off.

Im confused, what part of Hw are comparing with the lord of the rings? ><

It made me sad and cry little when the killed off Lady Iceheart. Hope they don't kill off Y'shtola any time soon.

A bit nerdy, but I grew more attached to my character and other characters throughout Heavensward than I did in A Realm Reborn.

Regarding the narration I thought it was strange how they decided to do that, because none of the story before had it. I also didn't like how nearly every single one ended with "... they came." Overall I'm kinda on the fence about that system. On the one hand it's nice to preview and talk about a new area once you enter it. I guess I just didn't like the delivery.

Well we pretty much have been given at LEAST 3 cliffhangers about where the story is going next. We already know for a fact that one of them is Alexander, as that was already officially revealed months ago.

Yeah the Heavensward story AND music is great so far! (Im at lv57 quests)
Nothing makes me skip.

Just info: I have start to skip every FF:ARR story-scene from titan quest on. <-<
Because... TO much blah-blah-no1-cares! >.<

the Ul'dah part was kinda disappointing to me. The rest was great though.
Felt like reliving a classic final fantasy story.

Probably because the game had a dozen "endings" chained back to back, similar to Return of the King.

The scene after finishing the Vault was pretty powerful...

Heavensward story made me feel like I was on an adventure with my little gang like in previous FF games, rather than being everyone's errand boy.

The feeling like you're inside the story.

There is actually 5 cliffhangers if you remember that we have yet to...

SPOILER

Capture Ilberd and the Crystal Brave that betrayed us. Not to mention he did say something about giving up anything to save Ala Mhigo.

and

The Garlean Empire has a operation Flagship once again which once fully operation will most likely start another Garlean Empire invasion of Eorzea and this time we won't have a Massive Dragon taking it down for us.

Both of these cliff hangers seem to point towards Ala Mhigo as the new possible story for a part of 3.X or 4.0 storyline.

The most interesting thing about her story was how it perfectly explains how she got into Dissidia.

They did an incredible job with the story this time around. 1.0 and ARR both suffered from featuring generally "meh" characters, imo. No one really stood out as anyone I could call a favorite in the series. They were just people in questionable gear that served to provide exposition.

Totally turned it around this time. The characters were distinct with strong development. The scene in Azys Lla with Lady Stoneheart completely blew my mind - the music, the direction, voice acting, everything about it was totally epic. I showed it to someone who doesn't even play the game, and even they teared up.

Great job! All I can hope for is that they maintain this quality, and we don't fall into another series of sleep-inducing patches like post-ARR.

but the death flag!

I hate how there is Death flag on *Spoiler Block*.

Only thing now we can do is wait for the Death Flag to kick in or hope that there is a way to prevent *Spoiler Block* death.
