Our story begins with the events at the end of Heavensward: For reasons that are too complex to get into, and which are a little bit fuzzy in my mind anyway, The Alliance finds itself battling the Garlean Empire at Baelsar’s Wall.

By the time of Stormblood, you’ve already saved the world a number of times, and these days you hang out with your long-time friends in the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, a sort of Justice League for Eorzea and beyond. I’ve broken the story down into four parts as I perceived them.įor those that don’t know anything about FFXIV, your character is known as the “Warrior of Light,” a hero with special powers and whatnot.

(That means I’m not going to tell you who lives and who dies, muhahaha.)
