Your favourite Youtuber?

[Gemina]

If I was to go by the most watched, then it honestly goes to the multiple sources who provide extended versions of the game's music, so there really isn't anyone to name in particular. But I find myself always listening to music from both FFXI and FFXIV all the time.

I don't really watch guides. When I was a budding player I used to watch dungeon guides from Miztech. She's quick to explain things, which is how I need it for it to register. For a laugh or two I would watch ZeplaHQ as I find her to be really funny when she's not being a drama queen. I watch Meoni just for his voice. That guy seriously needs to be in radio or some form of broadcasting that will get him more recognition.

Everyone else pretty much annoys the crap out of me. Mr. Happy, Work2Game (Chris and Brian), Larryazur. Nothing against them personally as they all seem to be stand up dudes, and they contribute a lot to the community. This just applies to youtubers in general. The majority of them can only talk for so long before I find myself wanting to listen to something else.

Btw, if ya'll haven't found this, definitely give it a peek
Lalalala Productions - great music videos with XIV content

Mizzteq easily. For both guides and streaming she's the best. I also watch a lot of PixieValkyie/ValkyrieAurora. She's not a FF14 specific content creator but she's awesome and does do FF14 now and then.

I do tend to watch a lot of MrHappy as well. The Frosty podcast/videos are decent but as a more casual player I often find myself put off by the perspective taken on his show. Still, they're good enough for background noise and introducing me to more of the FF14 content creation community if nothing else.

I watch Mizzteq as well, as she has a healthy appreciation of puns also because her guides tend to be shorter and easier to follow than Mr. Happys vids

I also have watched some of Larryzaurs vids, they're pretty funny.
Also like another in the thread, I watched Disparius for the job guides

[GetFoesReqd]

Mizzteq, Meoni, Happy, etc. for 14.

Outside of 14, I like a lot of them. But, to keep to a single plug, if you like Horror Lets Plays but don't like overreactions and pandering, try John Wolfe. He's pretty entertaining without pissing himself at every lame jumpscare in a game. Has thoughtful commentary as well, and enjoys lampooning the poorly made ones, which is funny all on its own. If any of that is your thing, here is his channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSj...Dq1w9oQ0xgOFNg

The problem is with him, MTQ says what he has to say in the fraction of the time and then some.
He's not a bad person to go to guides by any means. I guess if you want a more lengthy explanation
then he's your go-to. MTQ for more to the point. He's gotten better with drawing out his guides but I prefer MTQ.

I like those two, Mekkah Dee and Dudewhereismyspoon for music!

FFXIV specific Youtubers I watch:
Abraz Aeon: Posts voice clips from trials and raids
DenmoMcStronghuge: Funny videos
DrakGamestein (Drak): Funny hardcore raids and trial videos from the raid group NEST
FFXIVMomo: More Healer focused guides and PoV videos. Has started posting other game videos.
The Official Final Fantasy XIV channel
GoldenTot (Tate): Funny hardcore raid and trial videos plus some comedy.
MTQCapture (MizzTeq): Guides
Myscha: Videos of different player houses
Rou Rou: Funny videos (with a nice voice)
VeryMerri: Funny videos with some informal ones (hasn't been posted in a while though...)

I also use to follow LimiteBreakRadio but they disbanded after half of them left to go pro and the other half was too busy with real life.

Youtubers I watch that sometimes play XIV:
Clemps: Focuses more on talking about games then playing them. Talks mainly about Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Nier/Drakengard, and other JRPGs (especially older ones from the PS1 era).
VakyrieAurora: Mostly talks about other games too. Was very excited about the Nier raid.

(I'll add more later. I have to get ready for work... >w>() )

Mr.Happy, but seems he doesn't do youtube guides anymore...


He met Yoshida in person though..so there's that. Mr.Happy gives detail and tries to leave nothing out, which is exactly what I like about him. He is long winded, which is a dying breed in this day and age where people like to cram all their thoughts into 2 words.

Same. Mr.Happy is the go too for me too. That and Larry and Dex I think is his name.

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Mr Happy ticked off a lot of the early game's community with his Garuda EX guide, which basically said "If you want to clear, don't bring melee dps."

It also took him something like 25 minutes to explain the fight.

For those reasons, and others, I never watched another of his guides.

My other problem with Youtubers and their guides is that they don't go back and update them. Which leads to people spouting the nonsense in World of Darkness that is "A adds, B belly, and C chains"

You need 2 people to get chains. Tanks are better served holding the adds, and healers supporting them, while DPS piling in the belly is much faster, brings him down sooner, and there's no need for heals or a tank inside.

Mizzteq, and post-ARR until HW TSDS, for short dungeon videos to calm me down.
Mekkah Dee and Dudewhereismyspoon as well as the offical XIV channel for music. That's all.
