Popular WoW content creator Bellular is praising FF14.

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.

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

I think a lot of those trying to get him to play are former WoW players who really enjoy FF14. Think about it, they watch his stuff for years and they end up moving to another game. It isn't to unreasonable for them to try and get him to play this game they enjoy so they can keep watching his content with enthusiasm. Kinda hard to keep following content focused on a game you don't even like anymore.

Unfortunately, they've failed in attracting his attention, let alone enthusiasm. As a former WoW player, I paid more attention to Bellular, who enjoyed the Story of WoW, than Asmongold. The only bit of the latter I've bothered to watch was part of a lengthy "isn't it cool to see all of the stuff behind the glitches in the game" youtube video, which was, to put it bluntly, boring as heck.

Then again, I don't watch streamers much. Easier to play the game than watch.

I think that is my main interest in Bel taking a look into FF14. We need more lore divers. We have a few, but not many are on the same level as say Ethys. So having somebody like Bel analyzing and speculating on the lore of FF14 like he does for WoW would be pretty fun to watch. I always kinda wanted FF14 to have their own Nobbel or something of the sort.
I personally don't get to hung up on streamers. I enjoy finding new content creators when I join a new fandom/community so I never felt to need to try and get content creators to join the new community. That being said, when one I know takes an interest in something new on their own and that something is a game I love, then I will take it positively.
