Preach Reacts to the Endwalker Trailer 

The one consistent of watching people react to this trailer: Saying "Is that Tiamat?" over Estinien saying "Come Vritra"

It's supremely crazy how you experience events in the cinematic yourself, ultimately making every cinematic *YOUR* story.

This trailer is meant to be fan service. It players motifs from each expansion in it. most of the story is hidden from even teasing because it's the end! also we got this trailer 1 year before launch we didnt even have 5.4 yet or only just gotten it so we didnt even have the end of ShB done. We didnt know who Fandaniel really or Zenos' Job change. Basically this was just meant to reveal: Alphie job change and sage Zenos Job change and reaper that we are going to the moon we are going to Sharlayan and Ratz-at-Han that we are in The Final Days

I don't know why mentor chat keeps saying the launch trailer is spoilers. Pretty much *everyone* who bought the expac at launch saw it and were hyped by it. It's only spoilers with the context you have now after beating the story. Nobody had a clue where it was going when the trailer launched.

Footfalls is such a banger. I'm interested to see Preacher's thoughts on Zenos as he gets to the end of EW, i really did not like him by the end of ShB, not in a villain way either, just get him off my screen kinda way but i think he was actually excellent in EW, used sparingly but every scene he stole the show. A lot of that credited to Luke Allen-Gale his VA who's absolutely incredible, in a very good cast of voice actors, he stands out as particularly great.

Ever since preach met estinien and made the prediction that he would have redemption and fight riding dragons, ive been so excited for him to get this far. Finally its all coming together.

10:54 Moments like this are why I LOVE watching preach. He picks up on stuff I totally missed out on

Am I the only one who felt like this trailer goes from B to S tier after repeated viewings?

people forget, this was made BEFORE 5.4 so the "teasers" were for those whove only seen up to 5.3

"Wasn't much in the way of teasers in that one" literally shows the end of the world, multiple new locations and WoL on the moon.

ELEPHANT & BABY moment that hurt me

The thing is, show anything more than this and you spoil parts of the story.

Mike is so confused i love it cannot wait yay he is here

Oh, what they showed in that trailer was very much a teaser :P

20 seconds in and all I'm thinking is MIKE YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING!!!! back to the vid.

I wish the narration were easier to hear in this trailer :(

Also why are why on the moon? Because it's where the Ascians based a lot of their plots from. Several times you see them just being evil while on the moon. Before Endwalker, hell before Shadowbringers, a very big running theory was that Zodiark was on the mood and we'd go there and fight him as final boss. There were a lot of the "Moons haunted" memes made with FFXIV replacements over the years. Also we go to the moon because FFIV. So there's a lot of reasons.

embrace it lmao. glad you decided to give this game a chance bro. enjoy :)

Preach, everything will come together soon 😊

its funny because ive heard this song about 5000 times in the last two months, but theres plenty of people to still enjoy it

Preach have you actually managed to avoid endwalker spoilers this entire time? That's actually insanely impressive.

At this point, do you need teasers?

Launch trailer is spoilers? Jesus christ you people are ridiculous.

People say that the launch Trailer has spoilers but only if you know the context by playing the game. The launch Trailer is cut in a way that gives the player a almost complete different narrative. I watched the Trailer and by playing i knew what was spoiler but the Trailer never gave something away that i can consider a spoiler. Because the Trailer is cut in a different way took me offguard when i had the context. I personally think it's ok to watch the Launch Trailer but ofc everyone has their own opinion and better safe than sorry.

imo launch trailer is fine

Why are people saying the Launch Trailer is a spoiler? Pretty sure when it was released it lead players to theorize on what is to come and overall improve the msq experience.

i dunno what is going with Preach audio mixing but this is not it

It wasn't my favorite trailer but Footfalls is booooooooooooooooomb

Unpopular opinion: trailer wasnt that great

Trailer still gives chills, even after the release. That turn victory shot, with the earth in the background, especially.

The thing is, when this trailer first dropped live, it was a bunch of reveals for the first time to the fan base. New classes, zones, etc. So it was huge in that aspect.

With how much Preach loves Estinien's story, he is going to have a lot of enjoyment out of the way this expac uses him.

Thanks for whoever at Stormblood FANFEST yelled "The Moon!" at Yoshida on stage back then. Thank you for your service.

"this game made me such a fucking geek, I listen to the lyrics of the song". Yeah.... I feel you.

"Why we on the moon?" It's haunted.

One thing to remember about Sharlayan culture is that they born from a people that survived something that equates to the Biblical flood. That giant ark in Ala Mhigo was what their ancestors used to survive the drowning of the world when the element of water was rejoined to the Source. They have always been intimately aware of the damage a Calamity could cause and have worked tireless to survive at least a few since as a people. Few nations are as long lived on the Source as Sharlayan is.

I saw this trailer for the first time before even playing FFXIV and had no idea what was happening or who anyone was but still felt like "LET'S GOOOOO!!!" I don't understand how people see this trailer and aren't even the least bit curious to know what is happening.

There are definitely less 'Omg' moments in the EW trailer for sure. Thankfully, the MSQ makes up for this. Enjoy the end of a story 10 years in the making. And heres to 10 more!

This trailer was 100% responsible for my decision to level through the story as a paladin first :D

The trailer really hits different after playing EW. The first time I saw it I didn't really like it, but now everything falls into place and it gets me hype even though it's already over.

I love how EVERY streamer talks about the dragon's name with the question: "Is that Tiamat?"

The reveal of who Fandaniel is couldn't have been better. I had been calling him a Clown since the post-Shadowbringers quests and it couldn't have been more fitting.

Fun fact, if you look at the top-down perspective of Y'shtola telling the Sharlayans off, there's a table behind her. And she turns and walks straight into it.

By the time you reached the start of Endwalker there's already some scenes on the moon. There was some wild speculation about it since around Heavenward around 3.3..

The Endwalker MSQ is insane, definitely one of the best RPG stories I've ever played, right up there with the Witcher 3

One thing i really enjoy about preach is he lets the video breathe, he isnt constantly talking over it like some content drone, he gives a product its due justice and I really appreciate that from him.

Yoshi P's credit in all these trailers is so absolutely epic. They really give him the star treatment. He deserves it

The fact some insane people told preach not to watch the Launch trailer is just dumb.. it's launch trailer they WANTED US to see it before playing the game it's not SPOILER you freaks..

"Why are we on the moon" Because it's a Final Fantasy game, obviously 😂 We always end up on the moon somehow~ (Also, it was teased since Heavensward that Zodiark is in the moon, so if we are bringing the Hydaelyn/Zodiark saga to a close with Endwalker, it's to be expected that we engage with Zodiark too)

Kind of crazy how long it took for Alphinaud to show up in a trailer, eh? He's basically the second main character!

This is the best expansion by far. I wish I hadn't completed it so fast. I almost want to do a new game+.

They specifically mentioned at fanfest how they took extra care with the lyrics of the song to make them poignant and accurate

The difference in ShB trailer compared to this is that ShB was taking us to a completely new world, and our friends had already been there awhile, so there was a lot of "omg what's that? where is this? what's going on?!" By comparison, EW is showing us areas we've known about since 2.0 but are FINALLY getting to go to (Radz-at-Han, Old Sharlayan, heck even the moon was first shown in a cutscene at the end of 2.0, and in several scenes since). The only mystery we've got is why the Final Days are still happening, when we thought by averting the 8th Calamity that we'd put a stop to such things. Also, this trailer introduced the two new jobs (Alphinaud with Sage, and Zenos with Reaper). When they first released this trailer, the part with Estinien and the part with Zenos showing off his scythe weren't in it, and it released along with the announcement of Sage. Then, when they released this full trailer, they announced Reaper. So seeing the new jobs was another "teaser," on top of the hype for the areas we'd be going.

It amazing how FFXIV got Preach's hair to grow back. wink

I'm impressed he didn't think on who could be narrating the trailer.

Us: WE’RE ON THE MOON Preach: why r we on the moon?

Endwalker was such a rollercoaster of emotions! Hope u enjoy it as much as i did

wonder what these "launch trailer is spoilers " people will say when, if he will be invited for next expansion "media tour". -"hey Mike don't go to media tour there will be spoilers".

The EW trailer is pure unadulterated fanservice. Using the trailer music from previous expansions and remixing it, the MASSIVE FF4 reference in WoL going from Dark Knight to Paladin. The sage and reaper reveals. WoL being on the FREAKING MOON, the Sharlyan reveal not to mention it is the first time the twins make and appearance in the trailer.

"The launch trailer is spoilers," they say, as if they didn't watch it themselves the exact SECOND it dropped, live and in Japanese, about 2 weeks before Endwalker released

Did preach not pay attention to the msq? He seems to ask questions that are pretty much answered in ShB.

God, Everytime, every god damn time. After seeing what Endwalker brought us, after seeing the end. That trailer hits so so god damn hard

Listening to the lyrics is incredibly valid, they didn't release the transcription for them til just before EW came out.

and this is where I have become a total SIMP of the one of the midgardsormr first brood. CAN'T REALLY SAY THE NAME BECAUSE PREACH guess it wrong even ESTINIEN literally said it/ :(

Since warcraft 3 btw.

I love how every trailer reaction is the same when Estinien shows up. They all talk right over Estinien saying the name. Even reveal reactions were like that.

That trailer made me a rich man, was betting in my guild what class/weapons gotta be released and i NAILED IT sweet 2million gill!

It's funny how little you learn about what actually happens in the story, despite the length of the trailer.

Replay the Amaurot dungeon, you'll see some of the enemies from there in the trailer (to give you any context for those enemies that's already been shown in game).

Preach is the most confused man on RU-vid lol, dude this isn't wow....the devs aren't gonna leak anything in the actual trailer lol

"that's tiamat" gets 'em everytime

The original dragoon Ricard from FF2 rode dragons (well wyvern) so I see it as the final stage of dragoon-ness.

There is something unrelentingly cool to me about Estinien, a dragoon, utilizing specialized anti-dragon combat techniques designed to pierce their scales and bring them down from the sky... on other things. The fact it wasn't whatsoever designed for any other purpose, yet is dramatic overkill in 9/10 situations in lore power? Absolutely bonkers. I just love that they don't gloss over that with all the reactions. Yeah the reactions are few and far between, but there are times in Stormblood where Estinien was leaping around as a side thing and the Garleans were *not handling what they were seeing well.*

it's a shame the final days only happen in two zones XD

after finishing Endwalker, whenever I hear Sharlayan theme kicks in. i will get emotional.

"Why are we on the moon?" Most of us wondered that for over 6 months...

Soken is amazing

No matter how many times I watch the HW, SB, ShB, EW trailers they always hit.

Man, Preach's hair has come a long way since he started FFXIV.

What was the bet if anyone knows?

This is one of my favorite cinematics of all time! :D have fun endwalking Mike

Honestly its just the endwalker logo that gets me hyped

For certain, you won't expect everything that comes. While I personally did predict what the plot would be, I did not expect the crazy shit that would follow. I really wish I could replay endwalker just for that final walk 🚶‍♂️

I still think Y'shtola looks super weird in this trailer. She looked totally fine in the Shadowbringers one.

Who all were extra excited on scenes which were in trailer when it came in msq. I definitely was.

hes racist against dragons, he called him tiamat

Noob Alisae not using surecast

It’s funny how many new ff14 streamers have missed out on minfilia telling them in heavens ward about the moon

Funfact: Back in 2017 in Frankfurt Fanfest, someone screamed "When are we going to the MOOOOON?" and Yoshi P only laughed and said something along the lines of "Maybe in 7.0" And if I remember right, the same question was asked at Paris Fanfest.... so probably they HAD to go to the moon eventually xD

Estinien is in the Stormblood Dragoon quests and we see more of how he's doing post-Heavensward, but not including him more in the main story was a tad disappointing, I agree.

Why shouldnt he watch the launch trailer before playing? We all fucking did when it came before the early access… :/

The stormblood part always hits the me hardest.

Good trailer but what the hell did they do Y'shtola and Thancred's faces? Where's her jawline disappeared to?

One bit I live in this trailer no one ever really mentions is that at 40 seconds in with the light behind the character, they look kind of like an ancient/ascian, the same way we looked kind of to emet breifly. probably not intentional, but if so it’s a nice reference to that whole arc of who we were

I watched this live when they first released it during FanFestival - and it was 3am here XD It was crazzy - and it was so perfect!

normaly i find people who can breath on the moon really suspicious but the trailer is cool ;)

Rewatching these clips, I miss the old office

Weak reaction. I dont think he processed what he just saw.

not the 1st time FF went to the moon. i think final fantasy 5 also went to the moon for some reason.

Is a pity Mike will not watch the launch trailer, after watching it, we were intentionally left with feelings he will now not have through the expansion, not sure why people screamed for him not to watch it when there are only teasers and they intentionally give these to us before the expansion.
