You are taken to a bizarre world flooded with blinding light, a golden wasteland haunted by wicked angelical creatures known as Sin Eaters.

At the very end of Stormblood, Shadowbringers starts to get in the way of your quests like a fly that won't stop annoying you while you're stressfully multitasking through a lot of the problems around Hydaelyn, until it finally interrupts you completely to pull you in a completely different setting.

The story is absolutely heart-touching and intriguing, easily a fan-favorite entry, and one of the best damn things SquareEnix released in decades.

If you have been over the fence on playing FFXIV, make this your main excuse to play it as you also witness the events of the prior expansions on the way.
