    Thank you for the Shadowbringers story devs! No spoilers, just thanks!

    Just got to the end of ShB tonight. Played through with my BF, and every part of the ride was amazing.

    Sorry if there is already a post for this, I didn't see one yet, only critiques and complaints. I wanted to add my voice.

    Don't wanna go into too much detail to avoid spoiling wandering eyes.

    But from the bottom of my heart thank you so much. The story in this base expansion blows everything else out of the water, and we have more coming soon!!!

    I can tell everyone worked hard on this story, it's intricate and felt like I was playing a single player rpg.

    From the characters, to the music and onward. Norvrandt was brought to life in a way I don't feel we've experienced yet.

    Thank you for all your hard work, I can't wait to see where you take us next!

    I'm near to the end as well and I have nothing but gratitude for the story they crafted here. I also want to congratulate the writing team from graduating from Plotters to Planters in terms of writing quality. It's so refreshing to have the characters and plot work in tandem, instead of the plot being god and the characters bowing before it's whims even when it doesn't make sense for them to do so. All in all I felt like I was playing a main-line singleplayer entry into the Final Fantasy series and it has been nothing short of /amazing/ thus far.

    This is right now is a real masterpiece and I concider shadowbringers already as the best RPG story experience I ever had and I played my fair share of RPGs. The story had me in awe all the time.

    So is the story that short it can be completed in a weekend? Seems disappointing if it’s just a handful of hours.

    We played 13 hours on the third day, That was only level 78-80. All we did was story and dungeons to get to the next part of the story. We stopped for food, stretching, bathroom breaks, and had a full eight hours of sleep between, otherwise all we did these last three days was the story. The story is massive.

    We took time off together to be able to binge it before he had to go back to work.

    IMO The story feels like it's a lot longer than SB. SB took us much less time to get through.

    Nah people just devoured. It is like a book, you can sit and read to the end or control yourself and enjoy slowly.

    Adding, I'm thankful too!
    Mature, and the new zone is just amazing!
    Still on main quest 72, but what I experienced so far and hunted is just sublime!

    I am very happy. This is the best part of the game easily. The story, music etc is so good. I am only at 77 in MSQ though so not sure how it will all end yet.

    What an amazing masterpiece of an expansion start. You sure set up the latter really high here. Please keep this momentum going.
    If i ever was worried about my character. This at the 5th lightbringer and the end where my WoD was puking and in so much pain. It was here.. at this expansion.
    I am just so invested and my bond with my character is really strong. (I know its just a videogame but having a playtime /playtime of over half a year...)


    Nothing but grattitude from me as well. Keep it up!
    Thank you Square Enix. Next stop. Eden!

    The story is going to give me nightmares. There was one cutscene toward the beginning so screwed up I am still thinking about it. Probably the darkest MSQ so far. I will say the music is absolutely stunning.

    Glad you wrote this post. I was feeling the exact same way. This expansion's story was PHENOMENAL! It put the word "Fantasy" back in Final Fantasy and I thank you. I haven't finished, (sorta taking my time)... but so far its been the most fun I've had since starting FFXIV.

    So KUDOS to the team for this amazing experience and I can't wait to spend this holiday weekend in the game! See you all there. Thanks again Devs!!!!!!
