I really personally fell in love with this part of Heavensward.
The warriors of darkness story really resonated with me. I saw a part of myself in The warrior of darkness because I personally felt like I had gone on adventures and met a lot of friends along the way in XIV. but instead of it being sunshine and rainbows it went all haywire and wildly out of his control and this made me feel super bad for him.
My only regret is that XIV didn't have a massive budget like it does now, so they sadly had to do a lot of telling instead of showing, Thankfully the Warrior of Darkness's voice actor did an amazing job at conveying the emotion of the character.

The ending to the patch with Minfilla is still one of my favorite cutscenes it felt like a lot to process.
