Anyone Else Getting WOW Cataclysm vibes from SHB?

The picture really looks surreal it actually looks like the first is SINKING into an aetherial sea with Nordvrant the last 10% of that world still left.

Cue the inevitable "MEANWHILE IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE" memes.

This expansion has made many more people actually consider buying the game and starting fresh characters. People have seen Shadowbringers and thought "wow that must actually be a fun game. I should buy it"

You're worried for nothing

Don't think this person is worried at all. It's just some kind of smoke screen, to somehow insert WOW into these forums, since the Shadowbringers came out.

That's kind of the point. It's a reflection of the source but no, it's different from 2.0 maps. in fact I think they used 1.0 maps more than the 2.0 series.

Anyone Else Getting WoW Cataclysm vibes from Shadowbringers? It looks like on the map provided at the start that the First is just Eorzea given a new makeover from a Calamity. WoW Cataclysm was just Azeroth getting a new makeover as well, the result of a Cataclysm. And both were the 3rd expansions of their respective MMORPGs.



Am I seeing a parallel here that doesn't actually exist?

This is standard WoW kid drivel. They think ANYTHING in EVERY mmo MUST have come from WoW. Get a grip. It isn't.

That is not in fact what I think at all.

SE did the whole alternate timeline/dimension thing long before WoW with cataclysm.


FFXI Wings of the Goddess in 2007



This is sorta just a theme that alot of mmos use.

Time travel. You used Atomos to go back to the same zones in the past(I forget how many years exactly, but I think it was 10-20), when all the city-states were in a world war with beastmen.

20 years. WoTG was the first thing that came to my mind from this expansion.
