Square Enix's MMORPG catastrophe-turned-remarkable-comeback-story is on the eve of the sixth anniversary of its revival, and I couldn't dream up a better way to commemorate the occasion than with what this new expansion brings to the table. That's how my journey through Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers felt. Norvrandt isn't Eorzea, and as the light fades from my heart and a sunless sea of night seeps in, some emboldening words from my precursor, Ardbert, help me gain balance: "not even the most valiant heroes can stand alone" - the Warrior of Darkness has come. Hell, if the locals knew I was a champion of the light, they would grab the closest pitchfork and mount my head on a stick. However, those titles mean nothing in Final Fantasy XIV's newest world, Norvrandt. In Eorzea, the masses gather in the streets and cheer for me, for I am Nidhogg's bane, Ala Mhigo's liberator, a knight of House Fortemps, and the Warrior of Light. The people's faces are familiar, but their names and customs are alien.
