    FF14 Cinematic Trailers Ranked

    Time for a light-hearted ranking of FF14 cinematic trailers. The trailers are generally pretty great and much better than most video game trailers. SQEnix knows how to make a hype cinematic trailer.
    1. Shadowbringers—GOAT videogame trailer. Become the Warrior of Darkness.
    2. A Realm Reborn—The 2.0 trailer hits hard, and the animation has held up very well. This and Shadowbringers have the most impact and the most interesting reactions on YT.
    3. Endwalker—Tough call between this and Heavensward, but this edges out with actual dialogue.
    4. Heavensward—Like the 2.0 trailer, this one hits pretty hard.
    5. Stormblood—This was fun (especially the samurai scene), but it was a very low-impact trailer.
    6. Original 1.0—I'd put this roughly on a par with the SB trailer. It's a bit lower quality than the subsequent trailers, and is fun in a random adventuring way, but it has no impact.

    Bonus Ranking: The Burning Crusade trailer is still the best WoW trailer. You are not prepared. Don't @ me.

    1. Endwalker—This is good because it has references to all expansions while telling a story.
    2. Shadowbringers—This is really good too and it's hard to decide between this and EW for #1.
    3. A Realm Reborn
    4. Original 1.0
    5. Stormblood—Lacked as much story that's why it wasn't as good, but great fight scenes.
    6. Heavensward—Lacked anything to do with HW story and just showing dragons.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."
