It's going to be a bit until Jay comes back for Stormblood. Don't expect it any time soon. He's got GU now and that is a m(g)ammoth of a pledge.

Stormblood has some of the best combat content in the entire game. Regardless of what anyone thinks about the story, the fights are some of the best in the whole game.

While Stormblood may have its narrative shortcomings, it was the expansion that gave XIV its first and so far only major class and combat mechanics overhaul, which then got polished further in Shadowbringers and Endwalker. The abilities and rotations you've played so far? You've practically been playing Stormblood all this time. And while certain encounters in ARR and HW have been reworked to be more in line with StB-onwards design when they implemented Duty Support, you should still see a noticeable improvement in fight design in 4.0. Perhaps enough to disengage that autopilot... Enjoy and take your time with Monster Hunter though! Who knows, it might even prove good practice for some of the encounters ahead.

Gratz on the pledge completion! For me, Stormblood is where the game matures mechanically with fights that start to get way more interesting. Many folks (including me) will tell you the story slows down a lot, and it's very true for the beginning but the later half and the patches past .0 get pretty good imo.

Omega and Shinryu are callbacks to Final Fantasy 5. They were the two super bosses of that game. And the only lore they had put them at odds with each other. No one knows where they came from. They just were and have always been fighting. So to see them here, even if different incarnations with more clear origins, still fighting. That was pretty hype.

I hope you noticed the funny bit of the WoL being very wary of the drinks and food being served by Aymeric (the WoL definitely has a bit of ptsd of being poisoned.)

Aymeric has been a pretty big fan of the WoL since we met him in ARR patches. He's always been into us although you are right, he's far less broody these days.

Welcome to stormblood now many are gonna say the story is gonna take a small dip (not terrible but its had a hill to climb that was Heavensward post Main Story) BUT the content in game is absolutely a step up Trial Mechanic straight up is just Metal Gear Rising, one of the best Raid Series, Music still slapping, and now at 70 being the Free Trial Cap lets you access the Shadowbringers and Endwalker Jobs (Gunbreaker, Dancer, Sage, Reaper) when you buy the expansions Of course like always, take your time. Stormblood like HW is still free, so you're not crunched by a Subscription to pay.

Love your impressions video here! Been following you since your first taste test of monster turned you off before you gave it another try haha I think most people would probably agree with you on all your points! Taking breaks from FF is probably a good way to absorb what youve played when you arent waiting for new patches and content when youre upto date like most people were with the story 10 years ago as you said. I would say that youve got some fun content ahead of you when you get back and some interesting story beats here and there but as no doubt youve been told 100s of times before we hope you stick it out and get to 5.0 6.0 and 7.0. (PLUS you can get rathalos as a mount in stormblood) 👀👀👀👀 Love your vids, cant wait to see more of you digging into MHGU!

I said it before and I'll say it again - I am really excited for when you come back to this game and do StB and SHB. I feel that, content wise, it really picks up in StB, people shit on its MSQ, but I think there are many nuggets to appreciate in it, ESPECIALLY in post MSQ patches. However, the raids, the trials, the dungeons, they're all bangers (although the most of it you won't get unless you do savage and what is the new difficulty introduced to StB, ultimate, I would like to see you at least react to an ultimate like DSR even if you don't do it, because it's just that damn cool). ShB is were the story not only picks up but (hot take) peaks.

I stopped right after Stormblood. I have like to finish some MQ's before entering Shadowbringer, but i kinda lost the will to continue. Not because the game or the story is bad, but just because the fact that it is the MMO format. I know that sounds crazy and all and i do understand if people are gonna go: But why play it when you knew it was an MMO?!... Don't get me wrong. I have played MMOs for a long time (been a Wow player since Vanilla days and up to Shadowlands), but i have gotten to the point as to i want a game to have an end. I want a story to have an end and the MMO format is just that. It keeps going and going and going and going. Yes the story does come to a somewhat ''end'', but then arond the next corner there is a story twist that made the story go on for 2 more expansions and im sitting here like... did it really HAVE to? I was content with how the story had ended. I dunno. This might be just me and me just rambling. I hope it made sense somewhat. Not trying to dis FF14 or anything tbh. I LOVE the FF series. Have played almost all the games in the series.

To echo the sentiments you've heard about 4.0, it is admittedly one of the weaker expansions as far as the narrative is concerned. But Shadowbringers and Endwalker really blow the story leading up to it out of the water, so I definitely recommend sticking with it if you can. I think it's also worth mentioning that for me at least, 4.0's real strength was its gameplay content. I felt like it's optional content at the end of the expansion in particular was fantastic, way better than that of ARR and HW. Anyway, I know it won't be anytime soon w/ the MHGU pledge, but I'll be looking forward to your return to Eorzea!

I said this in private with you, but I'll share it publicly: For me it was honestly the Retrospective that got to me. It was when you LEARN MORE, the more I cared. I cared more my 2nd playthrough because I could better *see* the growth of some characters and their relevance. The things they do and say to foreshadow what is going to transpire that will hit you like sack of bricks. Each expansion (HW and forward) gave me someone to root for and mourn over, including Villains. One of these XPACs had a hilarious moment from a third person perspective for me. It came from our other Mod, Miniguy. He was doing one of the patch contents and asked Takashi "When do I get to stop crying?" and the response was "That's the neat thing, you don't." An entire PATCH from pretty much start to finish will hit you with so many tearful moments. I myself upon replaying it *removed* myself from hanging out with my peers in Voice Chat because I too knew I would be bawling for that entire patch. No one needed to hear me blowing my nose and going through an entire roll of toilet paper. Final Fantasy 14 to me truly feels like a FINAL FANTASY game during Shadowbringers and Endwalker. Everything before it almost feel like DISC 1 of 3 if this was a PS1 game. Like everything THROUGH ARR to Stormblood sets up the characters and some story. If this game was like a meal ARR is gathering the ingredients out the pantry and doing Prep. HW is when you start mixing everything together getting ready to start cooking. StB you start cooking. ShB is when the game starts SERVING you an unforgettable meal. And EW is the desert that perfectly ends the meal leaving a lovely lasting memory. I prefer to tell every new FF14 player that the story is meh to pretty good from ARR to StB. But when you do ShB and EW is when you finally experience what all the hype is about.
