Ulvespill writes: Stormblood ended in a cliffhanger, your hero now fighting another Ascian dressed up as Zenos the main villain. All of your friends are in a mystic sleep and only you can hear the strange voice telling you to open the gate. This is where Shadowbringers, the newest DLC to Final Fantasy XIV, starts up. In this new expansion, your hero will travel to a mystical new dimension called The First. This land is on the brink of extinction as there is too much Light in it. Not only does this baffle from what we have heard in the other DLCs where your job is to extinguish the dark as you are the champion of Hydaelyn, The mother of Light.
