I enjoy his content and must I just say how wonderful it is for Bellular to try out FF14 and find it fun!

Now.. can we get Asmongold to enjoy this game too? He said at the end of his reaction that he'll probably play FF14 soon! :P

I'd say be careful what you wish for.

No, stop harassing WoW streamers.

Why does so many people want that asmongold play FFXIV?


It has not the gameplay that he wants to have.
It would also extremely boring for his viewers to watch him looking at cutscenes.

Not everyone has to like this game and we need to accept that and stop forcing people to play it.
To try forcing other people to love the game is the worst part of the community.

Why does so many people want that asmongold play FFXIV?

Depends on who you ask, but if I had to guess it's for some kind of validation. Some kind of "SEE?! OUR game is so good it makes diehard WoW celebs come play it! Our game is DA BES!!!" mentality.

Mainly the same people who constantly compare both games as a way to prove the horse they're backing is the right one.

Edit: troll thread by troll poster, move along folks nothing to see here

Bellular's praising anything beyond the level 1-20 experience only off of vague secondhand knowledge and a ton of wishful thinking (mostly just to provide a counterpoint by which to call out WoW's problems), though?

Asmon used to entertaining to watch. But trust me, you don't want to have him and his community in 14.

He evidently played through some of the Shadowbringer's content on someone else's account.

It wouldn't cause problems for this game if he chose to start playing it and adding FFXIV to his various content channels. It's all free publicity and FFXIV already has a few content creators in the same style.

If he wants to play more FFXIV, fine. If he doesn't, fine. It's not going to impact the game in the long run.

Wasn't he mostly about open world PvP hijinks? They'd get bored and quit fast, or banned faster if they tried any of that here.

Asmongold is smart enough to know that this game doesn't fit his style as a player or as a streamer.

I've got no issues with Michael doing XIV content; on the contrary, I hope he enjoys it and gets into enough to view it with a similarly loving but critical eye as he has done for WoW.

I just think it's too early to call this broad-scale (or otherwise significant) praise; he's only done a couple normal trials on Bard and has barely finished the Gridania MSQ.

You are right. We already have Balmung as a whole.
