This is a SS frontispiece that looks back on the record of adventures in “New Game Plus“.

※caution

Since I look back on the story, there is a spoiler element. Those who have not cleared A Realm Reborn should not see this!

From the adventure record of Norirow Note

I finally cleared A Realm Reborn, so let’s look back!

It took a long time, it’s been two months since you started this retrospective trip.

When I was traveling while slowly looking around the scenery and talking to all the NPCs, it took about two months even for “New Game Plus”.

However, when I looked around again, I found various discoveries such as scenery that I had not noticed until now and hints leading to Shadowbringers, so it was a very fun trip ♪

Then, record the memories …

For the time being, I was making SS frontispieces in all the dungeons in the story.

Sastasha

When I slowly turned around the first three dungeons, I noticed a lot of scenery.

The Tam-Tara Deepcroft

In particular, I was surprised that the scenery of “The Tam-Tara Deepcroft” was so beautiful. It was like an archaeological site where the roots of trees were infested!

Copperbell Mines

When I saw many of these closed signs on the “Copperbell Mines”, I noticed for the first time that “NO ENTRY” was written in Eorzea. It was a good memory that I later noticed that this “NO ENTRY” was written on the doors of buildings in the city that did not open, and I was very happy to know that it was a meaningful character.

Now that I’m interested in Eorzea characters, I’ve started reading various places ♪

The Waking Sands

And the ” The Waking Sands ” that you will visit often. I’ve always been looking forward to talking to them here, as the NPC’s lines change frequently.

Three people I was particularly interested in.

The first is Ms. Una Tayuun. Judging from the content of the conversation, it seems that the person appeared from the old FF14. She seems to have lost her memory, but it’s a story that gradually reminds her of her memory, which made me very happy.

And these two pink-haired people who came from the Students of Baldesion. The man is called “Clive”. The woman didn’t know the name until the end, but she w was always worried because she wore my favorite “Acolyte’s Robe“. I wonder if he was a brother and sister.

But these three people all died in the Imperial Attack …

Yeah … I was so shocked … I wish they had a happy and enjoyable adventure in heaven.

And from this point on, I will also challenge the Primals.

The Bowl of Embers

norirow
norirow

What surprised me most was that in the case of “Unsynced”, I was able to defeat him with a single blow … lol

About traveling

I used to move without using a teleport or a flight mount as much as possible, but it was a lot of fun to discover a lot of new scenery ♪ I especially recommend not using a flight mount!

The movement of each country also moved on a flying boat in the city. The movement of the flying boat is very nice, isn’t it?

When I was walking, I found a tent and traces of life in the shade of a tree, which was kind of interesting ♪

Camp role playing?

namingway
namingway

And Yda and Papalymo were in front of Buscarron’s Druthers, so I took a commemorative photo!

norirow
norirow

I’m the Three Musketeers of Gridania!

The journey continues.

The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak

There was a rotten treasure chest, and it was a nostalgic place that I had entered before ♪

Haukke Manor

It’s a very atmospheric mansion, a place where I want to stop and take pictures right away.

Brayflox’s Longstop

This is a really beautiful place, so please come visit us in the daytime.

You’ve entered the night, so you’ve been waiting at the entrance until morning. lol

norirow
norirow

I really want to keep this wilderness for a long time.

This is a fateful confrontation. lol

And again to the Primals.

The Navel

Again, I was surprised to be able to beat him with a single blow. lol

The Stone Vigil

It turned out to be a battle in a cold place.

You were frozen, so I should have worn it a little thicker and sent it out. lol

namingway
namingway

And here we are finally on the enterprise.

norirow
norirow

Enterprise is cool! I love this flying boat!

But I’ve also seen the Imperial battleships, so I’m worried that Eorzea’s flying boats are too old-fashioned …

namingway

The Howling Eye

Very beautiful Garuda. By the way, I was able to defeat Garuda with a single blow. lol

Cape Westwind

Everyone loves Rhitahtyn Sas Arvina! If you look closely, it looks so cool!

norirow
norirow

I finally met a fierce man who couldn’t be defeated with a single blow. Rhitahtyn Sas Arvinasa Great!

And finally to the end.

Castrum Meridianum

At Castrum Meridianum, I faced Livia sas Junius.

The clothes of the empire executives are strange, like a squadron.

namingway

norirow
norirow

Ah … well, I’m sure this kind of thing is popular in the empire.

The Praetorium

Finally, I entered the final dungeon, “The Praetorium”.

norirow
norirow

Somehow, I started to worry about fighting here …

Gaius van Baelsar advocates peace by “strong people” using “Ultima Weapons”.

I was very hesitant to fight, thinking that Gaius’ ideals were correct.

It can also subdue The Primals, remove a threat from Eorzea, and lead the world to peace with some powerful politics of “power.” The qualities of the top person may be questioned, but Gaius will may be able to do that …

While thinking about that, I end up overthrowing Gaius.

The relationship between the main character and the villain in many stories in the world is almost the same. The villain sets up a groundbreaking peace concept, but just before it is achieved, the hero stops it and returns it to chaos.

And the hero justifies the chaos by always saying, “Even in the chaos, it is human beings who keep struggling and find peace somehow!”

norirow
norirow

I always worry about what true peace is …

Thus, once A Realm Reborn closes the curtain.

Did 2.0 end here?

namingway

After this, there are still some The Primals and dungeons until Heavensward.

Thornmarch (Hard)

They were fluffy and cute ♪

The Whorleater (Hard)

The Primals match is usually dark, so it’s difficult to shoot …

The Striking Tree (Hard)

norirow
norirow

I was happy to have a fight with Ramuu that was not hatred.

Then, I came to “The Binding Coil of Bahamut” to solve the mystery of the Seventh Umbral Era.

The Binding Coil of Bahamut

Twintania was very strong …

I remember “FINAL FANTASY XIV Daddy of Light”.

namingway

And around this time, I make new friends.

norirow
norirow

Haurchefant had been around before this, but I thought he was a weird person talking about muscles. But from this time on, friendships have deepened.

Snowcloak

Fenrir was very cool!

The Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Hard)

My favorite Shiva.

norirow
norirow

But it’s kind of painful …

The Keeper of the Lake

Finally to meet Midgardsormr …

I didn’t know that this was the scenery here.

namingway
namingway

The Chrysalis

Confrontation with Nabriales. He was really annoying to me …

Memories with Minfilia. Thinking about the future, I am deeply moved.

norirow
norirow

Moenbryda … ( ノД`)・・・

And from this point on, it becomes a story reminiscent of Heavensward.

The Steps of Faith

When I hear Ishgard, I wear Ishgard-like costumes.

You are a simple brain …

namingway
namingway

And to the finale.

The end of A Realm Reborn.

Queen Nanamo, who told me an important story.

norirow
norirow

Her Majesty Queen Nanamo ……

Then, after the victory celebration, Norirow Note and Minfilia are involved in a conspiracy and run away.

norirow
norirow

I should have experienced it many times, but I cried again and couldn’t see the scene properly …

I should have experienced this story over and over again, but after all I cried again …

Really really, this story is so wonderful and exciting. And it’s painful … It’s painful even if I know what’s going on … Each thought suddenly comes into my heart, and tears overflow.

After this, I will head to Ishgard with various feelings in my heart.

to be continued……

Finally

I was able to look back on the story of A Realm Reborn.

This year is the 8th anniversary of A Realm Reborn. There was such a wonderful story eight years ago …

I am truly grateful to all the developers who created such a wonderful world.

Thank you for keeping me alive here.

Please, forever … I hope this world will continue for decades and hundreds of years.
