| Ytlaya posted:On an unrelated note, someone needs to compile a list of all the times people (and particular Minfilia) effusively praise you in this game. I feel like every other MSQ quest involves people being like "I would just like you thank you again for being so incredible and saving the world. Words cannot express my gratitude. The world owes you a debt it can never repay. Only God Himself is more worthy of praise than you, and even that is a topic up for debate."
Yeah it gets pretty annoying and even though the writing steps up quite a bit with the expansions that part never really goes away. It does make the few characters that don't shower you with unending praise stand out more though. |

| a crisp refreshing Moxie posted:If going through Stormblood as a MNK got me any special dialogue, I sure as heck didn't notice it. Not even in the dungeon specifically made by a monk to train monks that features a monk boss at the end. SAM is mandatory though, if only for the final showdown of 4.0.
I think Temple of the Fist has like an extra line if you're a Monk but it's just something like "Wow, you're a monk? Then you're just the man for the job!" |

| Philonius posted:We have no reason to believe she's good though. From the WoD storyline we learned that going full retard on light wrecks a world just as surely as darkness will. Sure, she helps you fight primals and such, but those sustain themselves by stealing aether directly from Hydaelyn, so that could be a simple matter of self-preservation. Maybe they're setting the story up for a Babylon 5 'get the hell out of my galaxy, both of you' moment.
Doesn't the WOD storyline end with the Avatar of Hydaelyn's will heading off to fix things by absorbing back the light that destroyed their world? Like, yeah I guess that's just fixing her own mess and all but it seems she's doesn't want overwhelming light to erase universes. |

| Y'know I think I already knew this but Alphascape pretty much confirmed to me that the Ironworks are the best characters in the game. Nero and Alpha better join up with them again come next expansion or else I am going to be extremely upset. Also Omega should become an employee, I don't care that they're dead. Omega is probably among my favourite content in the game actually. These new raids weren't too hard but they were really fun fights. V4 was maybe a bit too straightforward for the final Omega raid but it was such a spectacle I didn't mind. Omega was really good! |

| Alphinaud provides a lot to the story. Like many jokes told at his expense. That used to be Thancred's role but he's serious now and I think it's better with Alphinaud because he takes himself more seriously. |

| To be fair Doma was lame and boring. The Omega crossover stuff was good and cool though. |

FAQs
In short, almost damned near every piece of content released as part of, and up to, Stormblood is part of the newly-expanded FFXIV free trial. This means all of the dungeons, almost all of the raids, and all of the side trials. Plus you can level up your character to level 70 on all of the classes—really, all of them.
What did Stormblood add? ›
In addition to new dungeons and raids, Stormblood introduces a new player versus player (PvP) mode called Rival Wings. Two teams of 24 players face off in goblin-run war games. Points are earned by destroying opposing bases and robot minions.
Do I have to buy Stormblood and Shadowbringers? ›
Please note, each expansion does not need to be purchased separately. FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail ($39.99 USD) includes all prior expansions with the purchase, Endwalker, Shadowbringers, Stormblood, and Heavensward.
Is Stormblood worth it? ›
With a very well-crafted story, some tense and epic battles, two new classes, and wonderful zones, saying anything else would ruin so much of the expansion and what makes it great. Do yourself a favor and lose yourself in the world of Hydaelyn for a good month at the very least. You won't regret it.
Does buying endwalker give you Stormblood? ›
Do I have to buy endwalker to get all other expansion like Stormbl od and Shadowbringers. Endlwaker gives you all expansions, so yes you have to buy endwalker. You can play up to level 60 and through Heavensward without paying anything if you want to give the game a try.

16 Hours

It increases the level cap to 70
For those of you who have wrapped up Heavensward and hit level cap, this will be wonderful news: with Stormblood, you can take your characters from level 60 to level 70!

Is Stormblood shorter than Heavensward? ›
Stormblood is definitely shorter, probably the shortest (?) from what I am guessing. ARR > HW > SHB > SB for length.
What level is Stormblood? ›
The level cap for jobs and classes is going to be raised from 60 to 70! Players will need to make full use of all the new powers at their disposal in a fresh batch of exhilarating job quests. Hoarders rejoice! The number of indoor furnishings that can adorn your dwellings is going to double.
