The Complete Story of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

In this video we revisit the complete story of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, the game that rose from the ashes of Final Fantasy XIV's initially failed launch to become the foundation of the game's later success. In this regard, A Realm Reborn truly lives up to its name since it breathed new life into a game otherwise destined for the gallows. Nowadays, new players are often encouraged to rush the realm, finishing the game as fast as they can in order to reach the next expansion. Coupled with the fact that Final Fantasy XIV, on the whole, is fairly text-heavy, and that it’s very tempting to skip a lot of it, one would be forgiven for not picking up on the story of A Realm Reborn in its entirety - which is a bit of a shame since the story is quite engaging on paper and it lays the groundwork for much of what’s to come.

But don't worry! If you need a refresher on the story of A Realm Reborn, this video has got you covered!

This video is made in part by utilizing the already great work over at:

Pushing through A Realm Reborn it was a very nice story when thinking back I think what slogged it down was the middle contented to get to the next stuff

[xScarletflame]

im two years late, but your voice is so awesome and thank you for doing this summary.
i played through ARR, but i skipped so many dialogues and cutscenes. so this has helped me understand and appreciate ARR more. i pay attention now that im in heavensward, and im invested in the story now

[mikeygduv]

2 minutes in and I'm already liking and subscribing. Your demeanor is s tier. Just the right amount of serious, to the point and self aware. Thank you for such efforts!

Even in a 30 min summary, I fell asleep in ARR's story lol

[JonathonSantiago]

My father and I wanted to refresh on the prior stories and yours are easily the best and most professional I've seen yet. Will you all be doing each expansion and subsequent bridge patches as you've done in these first two episodes? I really really hope so! Your work is fantastic!

This is the next best thing to having Morgan Freeman tell the FF XIV story.. I mean what a voice!

[krispy]

Ive played every final fantasy fantasy except the online ones. Online mmo's get too hectic for me to keep up. So thanks for the story for us who dont do the multi player thing.

I think it doesn't add much to it's favor when the community just propagates the meme of "oh wait to heavensward, it gets so good at heavensward" when most of the stuff after a realm reborn needs that foundation from it to make sense or even have relevance.

Seems the even expansions tend to get the same treatment compared to the odd ones since 2.0 and 4.0 are building the world and narrative vs 3.0 and 5.0 had a conclusion to part of one already established.

I have a feeling 6.0 will get the same treatment since on paper, it seems like 2.0 all over again.

I have completed all the ff complete story in your channel. Thank you keep it up. Sub here
