Touching the night talk, every day nonsense and game-related farts, ghost things, new things.

Today is the last day of operation of the national service "Final Fantasy XIV" 5.0 expansion pack "Shadow Of the Flame".
Previously, on my first day into the First World, I was just a beginner "sprout" who had ventured to Iozea for less than a month. At that time, my cycle was still not good, and I was not good enough at handling various mechanisms. The white sky of Lakeland made me feel strange and surprised, and the mysterious crystal seemed to have some story buried in it. At that time, I did not know what a unique adventure I would embark on in this distant land in the next two years.
I was just a fledgling adventurer at the time
The main story of "Shadow's Reverse Flame" takes place in a first world that is different from the original world where Iozea is located, and the "Dark Warriors" who come here and dawn and the shadow that wants to trigger the spiritual disaster again have an unprecedented conflict, and the confrontation of the two beliefs leads to the final showdown.
Having accumulated experience developing previous versions, the quest design of Shadow's Reverse Flame is even more gorgeous and interesting, and I still remember the helplessness and despair when I first faced Hades, and the mixed feelings when I finally defeated the darkness. The villain design of the 5.0 era is very good, and every "bad guy" is memorable, and sometimes their popularity exceeds that of the protagonist group. Some players think that Shadowback is the best version, and a big part of that comes from the excellent main storyline.

The side stories are equally fascinating. Despite my low level of playing and my inability to challenge the Zero quest, I was able to complete the "Paradise of Hope" series and witness the touching friendship between Gaia the Dark Witch and Lynn the Light Witch. At the same time, Iózea was in the midst of a war, and the "Jewel Soldier" series of episodes that fought alongside the former enemy Gaius told another unforgettable story, which made me know too much about the past of the Garema Empire and Gaius. The huge robot design in the "Jewel Soldier" series is also quite interesting, and I never thought that I would be able to fight in a fantasy game like Final Fantasy XIV with a mech like "Ultimate God Soldier G".
This is our paradise of Eden Hope
It seems to have been seen somewhere in the sortie action
The linkage plot with the "Neil" series almost runs through the entire "Shadow Of the Flame", which is really a bit "luxurious" as a linkage content. In the 3 24-player team quests, you can see a lot of scenes and enemies seen in Neil: Automatic Humanoid and Neil: Artificial Life, get those familiar styling equipment and pets, dress yourself up as your favorite "Neil" character, and fight alongside 2B and 9S, and finally the story can return to the world of Final Fantasy XIV. Although I haven't played all of the Neil games, I also love this set of linked copies. For example, in my house in the lavender nursery, music from "Neil" is always playing.
The "Neil" series of linked copies contains a large number of elements from the original "Neil"
In addition to the quest battles, the 5.0-era production gathering activity "Rebuild isugad" also became an important bridge for me and other adventurers to build bonds. When the players of the entire server gathered together to carry supplies around in Skydome Street for a while, pick up a hammer and clang and knock non-stop, and other players in the narration raised their glow sticks to cheer, I felt an inexplicable warmth rush through my heart. Perhaps that's the charm of MMORPG. The large amount of gem beast-themed furniture obtained in the reconstruction eventually became an opportunity for me to open a gem beast tavern as an RP shop.
The pomp and circumstance of Skydome Street is unforgettable
My tavern is full of jewel beasts
Like the line from Imateselk, I'm sure I, like other players, will always remember the excellent version of Shadow's Backfire. Tomorrow, the national costume "Final Fantasy 14" will enter the era of 6.0 "The End of the Dawn Moon", some people are nostalgic for the dragon intestines of the dragon knights and the astrological warlocks' school of night, some people are clinging to the giant potion magic charm tasks that can make a lot of money, and I just don't want to forget the best time spent with my friends. Goodbye, Shadow's Backfire. Maybe I'll come to Lakeland from time to time, and then I'll sit in Crystal for a while, listening to the familiar music and recalling my adventures as a Dark Warrior.
