200 Years Of Sacrifice, 9 Years Of Storytelling in the 8th Umbral Calamity of FFXIV Shadowbringers.

While the WoL labours on to prevent the 8th Ardor in the next expansion Evercold, do you remember that the 8th Umbral Calamity had actually happened before? In fact, there would be no Shadowbringers (2019) and no journey to defeat the Lightwardens in the First without it. But little is known about the 8th Calamity in its lesser timeline, and much less credit is given to the 200 years of sacrifice by Garlond Ironworks that literally made 'The Twinning (and all your memes)' possible. The 'optional' raid stories - Crystal Tower (once optional), Alexander, and Omega - are where the grand theater of Eighth Umbral Calamity ergo. Shadowbringers set up. And did the devs know all along these years it was where it was going to lead - 9 years since they made an Ascian abscond with a certain Horn in FFXIV 1.0 (2010)? ✨Support the channel!✨ ➤ YouTube Member:    / @kae_kona   (Get "The Seat of Azem" badge!) ➤   / kae_kona  ! ➤ https://ko-fi.com/kae_kona ➤ Like, Comment, Subscribe, hit the bell & share with fellow Warriors of Light! ➤ Socials for BTS, cats, plants, fitness and mindfulness: https://kae-kona.carrd.co/ ※iOS users should use or Web Browser or Android to App Store mark up!
