It’s a high fantasy online role-playing game that puts you on the role of the Warrior of Light, who has been chosen by the goddess Hydaelyn as her world’s hero. This time, Shadowbringers continues the story of the previous expansion by transporting the player into an alternate dimension of the world known as The First to become the Warrior of Darkness.HeavenswardStormbloodFinal Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringerexpansion packSquare Enix’sFinal Fantasy XIVFinal Fantasy XIVrole-playingShadowbringersWarrior of DarknessBe the ShadowShadowbringers is the direct sequel of Stormblood. The biggest highlight in this expansion is that FFXIV finally has a new game world—wherein the player is called forth to The First, a reflection of the original world choked by corrupted light. You, the Warrior, now have to use the power of darkness to correct the imbalance in this new land. ShadowbringersStormbloodThe FirstJob OpeningsThere are two new jobs in this expansion: the Gunbreaker and the Dancer. The Gunbreaker is FFXIV’s fourth tank class, wielding the famous gunblade from FFVIII. The Dancer, on the other hand, is a ranged damage-dealer and not the traditional healer.GunbreakerDancerThe More, the MerrierThere are also two new races added: the Viera and the Hrothgar. The Viera are bunny humanoids that can only be played as female, while the Hrothgar are hulking beastly humanoids with horns and such, and can only be played as males. VieraHrothgarTribal WorshipShadowbringers also added new tribes: the mischievous Pixies, the relaxed Nu Mou, and the crafty Dwarves. The first and last, in particular, will be giving you two new difficult trials to overcome: the awakening of the primal Titania, Ruler of the Pixies, and the coming of Innocence, a powerful sin-eater.
