This is a look back on the record of traveling to the “Shadowbringers” edition in “New Game Plus” with “SS frontispiece”.

※ caution

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

From the adventure record of Norirow Note

Wow, the “New Game Plus” is finally over 💦 Somehow lonely …

It was long …

I should have run through in “New Game Plus”, but I enjoyed it so much that it took me 5 months …

But it was really fun, I realized again what I hadn’t noticed before and what I didn’t understand the story well, so it was a very meaningful trip.

So, I would like to look back on the record of Shadowbringers’ trip with SS.

Lakeland

Norirow Note, a novice adventurer who came to the First, first arrived at Lakeland.

It’s really beautiful here, it’s my favorite forest.

Finally, I met Crystal Exarch and went to Crystarium as I was invited.

Crystarium

norirow
norirow

Crystarium is a really nice city, I’ve always wanted to live here.

It’s a very beautiful cityscape, and everywhere you look, you can see the wonderful scenery, such as the arrangement of plants as well as the buildings.

norirow

I had Crystal Exarch help me negotiate to rent a nice room at The Pendants.

There is also a cage where chickens are kept, so it is a wonderful city where you can feel a good sense of life. It’s so comfortable that I don’t want to get out of here anymore!

What is your adventure?

namingway
namingway
norirow
norirow

Yes, I will go 💦

Kholusia

Norirow Note, a new adventurer who had no choice but to return to the adventure after being advised by Namingway. lol

Kholusia was a land with a very nice atmosphere.

It’s like Laputa.

namingway
namingway

And in the calm and poor cityscape, Eulmore has a very different feeling.

Amh Araeng

I met Kobolds here.

norirow
norirow

The hats are similar and I feel close to him.

And here we meet again with Alisaie.

Holminster Switch

Then, to Holminster Switch, the first dungeon for Shadowbringers.

norirow
norirow

I really like the atmosphere here, I’m sad and lonely, but I wonder … I feel calm, nostalgic, or strange, and I like it.

Encounter with Minfilia

Then I went to help Minfilia.

Norirow-san, that costume suits you unexpectedl. lol

namingway
namingway
norirow
norirow

Eh, aren’t you laughing? 💦

The Minfilia in this world I met for the first time was like an angel.

Il Mheg

Then, to Il Mheg to escape from General Ran’jit.

It seems that the new adventurer Norirow Note was a little restless because the land was so mysterious and cute.

Dohn Mheg

A group of Norirow Note who came to Dohn Mheg in search of four sacred treasures.

It was a place that was so cute that it didn’t suit Norirow-san.

The Dancing Plague

And the battle with the beautiful Titania. It was the first eight-player battle for Shadowbringers.

norirow
norirow

All the weapons of Extreme Titania were cute and impressed ♪

Feo-Ul becomes the Fairy King. The contrast between green and red is very beautiful.

the Rak’ Tika Greatwood

Then, we entered the Rak’Tika Greatwood for further subjugation of Lightwardens.

Reunited with Y’shtola for the first time in a long time!

norirow
norirow

I was surprised at how beautiful it was!

The Qitana Ravel

Go to The Qitana Ravel to find Lightwardens. It was a very mysterious forest.

Amh Araeng

And again to Amh Araeng. I’m going to meet the real Minfilia.

When I saw the railroad tracks, I remembered Ul’dah and felt nostalgic.

namingway

norirow
norirow

Urianger is cool!

Thancred fought a deadly battle with General Ran’jit.

norirow
norirow

I longed for this Thancred and once became a Gunbreaker, it’s really cool.

Then we will meet again with the real Minfilia.

Norirow-san was crying all the time about this story.

namingway
namingway
norirow
norirow

It can’t be helped 💦

Welcome back, Ryne!

Malikah’s Well

Then we sensed the Lightwardens here and came to the Malikah’s Well.

Why did you fight the bucket …

namingway
namingway

To subdue Lord Vauthry

Return to Eulmore where there will be remaining Lightwardens.

norirow
norirow

I really liked the story of Alphinaud and Load Chai-Nuzz and Lady Dulia-Chai.

Then, tracking Lord Vauthry, who was actually Lightwardens, we try to build a giant Talos.

Each of the conversations we see with Emet-Selch during our journey is very deep and full of memories. They are treasures.

Mt. Gulg

With the help of the people in Norvrandt, we succeeded in building a giant talos and were able to reach Mt. Gulg.

You were crying again when everyone gathered to build a huge talos.

namingway
namingway
norirow
norirow

Because, I was impressed when I saw the people who had a connection so far gathered and everyone became one 💦

Innocence

I think that what Lord Vauthry was trying to do was, in a sense, a “peace”, and I have mixed feelings.

Here was a group of Norirow Note who succeeded in subduing all Lightwardens. However, when the light became overcapacity and I was about to become Lightwardens, I was separated from Emet-Selch.

After that, Norirow Note’s friends who worked hard to find a solution. My friends is kind …

norirow
norirow

I was crying at the climax around here …

The party heads to Tempest in search of Emet-Selch to prevent my Lightwardens.

Tempest

The party arrived at Tempest.

It’s kind of a sad and lonely cityscape, isn’t it?

namingway
namingway

Here, I meet Hythlodaeus and become aware of who I am.

Amaurot

I came to the memory of Amaurot.

Therion is scary, but if you look closely, there are also flower monuments, and it’s also a little cute.

Hades

And finally, I have to fight Emet-Selch.

I think it was a very painful battle because of the feelings I had so far.

Why do we have to fight Emet-Selch, who has a genuine desire to “regain the world” …

As with A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, and Stormblood, there are many situations where we “do not want to fight but have to fight.” Every time I am very worried, but I have to fight in the flow, which makes my heart very painful.

And with the help of Ardbert, we will overthrow Emet-Selch. At first, I didn’t really understand the meaning of “Take you with my soul”, but this trip made me understand the meaning again. Although I was lonely, I felt warm.

“Remember us…”

I will never forget you.

And here, Shadowbringers once reach the ending.

norirow
norirow

Around this time, I was crying and my eyes were heavy …

And the journey continues a little longer.

The story of Ardberts

In the roll quest we will learn the story of Ardberts.

This story, which Ardbert and his friends have been writing since they were new adventurers, overlapped with me … it was a very moving story.

Everyone was trying to save their own world.

I really thought that “friends” are really good …

You’re mostly traveling alone. lol

namingway
namingway
norirow
norirow

There are always Namingway together! 💦

And in the First, we’re struggling to find a way to bring everyone in The Scions of the Seventh Dawn back to the Source.

The Grand Cosmos

Go to Grand Cosmos in search of the soul researcher Beq Lugg. It was a very luxurious mansion.

Meanwhile, in search of new information about Ascian, we aim for the new remains of Tempest.

Anamnesis Anyder

Apparently this was the remains of the Hydaelyn side? I feel that there are still many mysteries on the Hydaelyn side. Will it become clear with Endwalker?

Again with Hythlodaeus.

And finally, the onslaught of Elidibus begins.

The Heroes’ Gauntlet

The party attacked by Eulmore is worried about Crystal Exarch and aims for Crystarium.

Is she also a hero in some world? She’s kind of cute.

norirow
norirow

It was kind of moving to see the friends I’ve met so far cooperate here …

Warrior Of Light

And finally the confrontation with Elidibus.

Farewell to the First

The first world protected by the success of Crystal Exarch. The residents of Crystarium cried, saying, “He was also a hero and a warrior of light.”

I was sad and heartbroken when I thought of Lyna, who had to break up with her grandpa.

And above all, I’m sad when I think of Ryne who can’t meet Thancred … I want to allow him to come and go freely to the First World!

Finally, I’m glad to meet Ardbert and Seto.

Seto’s face is very gentle.

Eden

At that time, I was also investigating Eden at the same time.

Gaia first appeared with a disgusting feeling, but she was a very cute girl and later became a favorite.

We will fight while remembering the memories of the primals of the past, but well, the memories are generally ambiguous. lol

Does this Shadowkeeper mean Sylva? ?? ??

When Ryne’s “strongest being” came out, I was very happy.

I especially liked the Eden’s Promise BGM.

And the most impressive thing was Shiva. She was very beautiful and cute.

Ryne and Gaia got along well and I was really happy.

It was sad and heartbreaking that Ryne and Thancred couldn’t meet anymore, but I’m really glad that Gaia was there.

I sincerely hope that the true “Eden” will be created in the future.

On the other hand, “the Source” at that time

Various “on the other hand” that are sometimes cut in. Estinien helped The Scions of the Seventh Dawn while we were away.

Krile is always cute. As the same Lalafell tribe, she is my idol.

The appearance of Tataru’s cook was also cute.

The Sorrow of Werlyt

We will also face The Sorrow of Werlyt.

I’ve always longed to fly a robot in the cockpit, so I was really happy to be able to ride the G-Warrior.

norirow
norirow

Norirow Note, sortie!

And the all-sky monitor is also very cool!

Most of the settings are like Gundam, but it looks more like Eva.

namingway
namingway

Both the enemy and the ally may look a little more like Eva than a so-called “robot”.

However, there are funnels and golden aircraft, and there are also Gundam elements firmly.

Above all, this Dendrobium-shaped part was impressive.

In a way, Shadowbringers’ most memorable diamond weapon.

You did 311 laps. lol

namingway
namingway
norirow
norirow

I wonder why I went around so much 💦

The Sorrow of Werlyt was a very moving story and I loved it. It was also an episode that made me love Gaius more and more.

I want everyone to live happily in the world over there.

Matoya’s Relict

Meanwhile, members of The Scions of the Seventh Dawn, who have returned to the Source, have come to Matoya’s Relict in search of a cure for Tempered.

Is it the place where Y’shtola spent his childhood with Matoya? It’s a kind of smiley teacher-apprentice relationship.

Paglth’an

And finally to the final dungeon Paglth’an.

Following Zenos, Fandaniel, an easy-to-understand “villain”, made it easier to fight without worrying about it, but on the other hand, I am not calm by the “pleasant criminal” behavior.

It is very memorable that Fandaniel said that he had no justice. If that’s the case, it’s easy to fight … but I’m sure Endwalker will reveal the true meaning.

Finally, I’ve run through Shadowbringers, and the long journey of “New Game +” is finally over.

In this way, the journey of novice adventurer Norirow Note continued to Endwalker.

Finally

Once again, I was able to look back on all the stories in “New Game Plus”.

It’s been five months since the trip was longer than I expected.

But at that time, I was really glad that I decided to play “New Game Plus”.

There are many parts that I haven’t noticed before, and parts that I have learned deeply again, and I have a feeling that Endwalker will become even more fun.

I am really grateful to the development team for creating such a wonderful function.

And above all, I am truly grateful for creating this wonderful world.

I hope that this world will continue for decades and hundreds of years and become “another world” for more people.

I’m really thankful to you!

norirow
norirow

I’ve become more and more fond of this world with “New Game Plus”

Even so, there are too many photos, right?

Shadowbringers were so rich, I’m looking forward to Endwalker too! Ahaha 💦

So, it was a record of the trip of “New Game Plus” looking back on SS.

See you someday.
