So yeah, the callbacks to the Crystal Tower raid cutscenes are key to ShB. The expac's story goes back all the way to 2.1 lol.
Also, I went down the rabbit hole on those lore videos and found a documentary on the utter failure of FFXIV 1.0 and how Squeenix nutted up and pulled through it. It's by NOCLIP, one of the guys who were hosted and produced Giantbomb's old podcasts, and it's very well done with lots of history that folks who weren't around at the time may not have seen.
SE was near-broke and hemorrhaging cash and although it was a smart move in retrospect, it was more or less a hail mary at the time.
The other 2 parts are in links.
I remember the disaster of 1.0 (played on PC), and the massive difference that was ARR.
Watched all 3 videos; a fascinating look behind the scenes. Yoshi (and his team) really deserve all the accolades. Thank you for posting.
