The New Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood Launch Trailer Puts Story in the Forefront

At the tail finish of subsequent week (yes, E3 week), pre-ordered FFXIV Gil editions of Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood will go live on June 16.

That's only 4 days ahead of its official worldwide release on June 20, but even so, excitement is brewing for the new expansion each of the exact same. Stormblood would be the MMORPG's initially expansion in two years since Heavensward. As the game nears launch, Square Enix has fittingly released a dramatic trailer. A word of warning: the trailer's a little spoiler-y for those not caught up.

The launch trailer offers players a peek at the expansion's new story, alongside the prominent battle adjustments the game is implementing. Back in May, I had the opportunity to play a bunch from the expansion for myself. I located the game's new environments (specifically Kugane) and job actions (streamlined, lively, and smoother than ever) to become endearing—maybe endearing sufficient to create me extended to pick up the MMO due to the fact I last place it down extended ago.

For a large amount of Stormblood's promotional material, the story seemingly came second to all of the quality of life fixes coming for the game. Back in the preview occasion, I asked director and producer Naoki Yoshida if this was an intended shift away from story, provided the MMO's exceptional history of focusing on story mainly. He assured me it was not. "First and foremost, mainly because this can be a Final Fantasy title, Final Fantasy XIV Gil nevertheless locations a heavy emphasis on story, and we've not changed that given that Heavensward," mentioned Yoshida. "And we basically have place on more bandwidth to develop the storylines in Stormblood, and much more than in Heavensward."
