The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Part of the reason he's doing it is because people want to see him play. There would be no point in doing the MSQ off stream, especially when he's not going to boost. That means that the MSQ would be a majority of the content as he levels, although he can choose to distract himself with side contents if he wants.

I can see that his Fanbase would also be heckling him with "SKIP, or ZZzz, This story sucks! Lichking did it better. Game looks boring!"
And pretty much just try to distract him or just meme on the game and try to ruin it for him. Which would be a bummer. FFXIV offers alot, but Id Say its MSQ is its biggest selling point. A good fun game is around the corner, but a good storyline isn't as easy to find. FFXIV has some great character to.

If he will progress offline, maybe even just make little vids about his journey, Id say thats a smart choice.

No Jealousy to hide, because there is none in the 1st place.
I dont need his money, he can keep it. I have and work for my own money. Thanks.

No one said you need his money. And you can't deny he makes more money than you despite both of you being "gamers" and you needing to have a job rofl.

None of these people are anything special. Nothing is Trivialized, its a simple fact, and I really don't care what other people have. But you want me to so badly like the sad strange troll that you are.

Yes you are trivializing their achievements. That is what jealous people do. They never admit any of the achievements that others have done. You're trying to make it look like that you two are just doing the same thing by saying "we're both gamers", "he makes money? so do I", "He breathes air? So do I" etc. But here's the irony, if you two are just doing the same thing, how come he has more money than you and SE cares for him more than you?

Yes it does. Because I speak for myself, you dont speak for me
He didn't accomplish anything to be jealous of, there is nothing to be jealous of. He is a gamer like me, who plays games like me. Asmongold, is nothing Special.
Him playing FFXIV, is nothing Special.

Simple Facts
Its also a fact based on what you type, that you're a Troll. And Im sure you're having a great time with this.
Im probably the most fun you had the past 2 weeks.

No it doesn't. Your actions speak louder than your words. Just like you're calling me a troll based on my actions, even though I never said I was. No matter how many times I'll say I'm not a troll, you won't believe it. Similarly, based on your actions here, you are jealous. No matter how many times you try to deny that. You both are gamers, but he's special compared to you because he makes more than you make and that's just from gaming. You took no shortcuts and yet he makes 100x what you make. So you're jealous of him and refuse to admit his special.

I'll always envy the ability to play a game for the first time. I remember having a lot of fun back in ARR when everything was new and shiny. I doubt I could bring myself to push through ARR ever again, though. Even after the revamp. It's not even necessarily a case of disliking it so much as finding it so time consuming.

Same. A one and done story for me. It's too much, and it's linear. I only really play linear games once for the story anyway. Few times will I ever play them more than once - and that's really only if it has decent gameplay... which ARR most definitely does NOT. SWTOR, for example, had a Bioware style story, and each class had a bit of a different storyline, so it was worth making and playing alts for the story.

I can see that his Fanbase would also be heckling him with "SKIP, or ZZzz, This story sucks! Lichking did it better. Game looks boring!"

ARR is probably worth a skip, especially if you are going to be streaming the game. The story overall is probably around 2-3 LARGE RPGs in length, and it would be BORING to watch, as half of it is not even voiced. Not to mention, any 'fun' content is locked behind this story, so all there is to do is run around from dialogue box to dialogue box doing dungeons that offer zero challenge, and a couple skills.

No skip means weeks of Zzz's on stream, I'd say. Maybe he can make it into a sort of podcast for his viewership.

I really don't care...why do you want me to care?

You're trying to make it look like that you two are just doing the same thing by saying "we're both gamers", "he makes money? so do I", "He breathes air? So do I" etc. But here's the irony, if you two are just doing the same thing, how come he has more money than you and SE cares for him more than you?

Hey, your learning. We in fact Do the same things!
But I have to dock you points because you're talking about his money again and think he's special again...which he isn't. Calm Down Troll

No it doesn't. Your actions speak louder than your words. Just like you're calling me a troll based on my actions, even though I never said I was. No matter how many times I'll say I'm not a troll, you won't believe it. Similarly, based on your actions here, you are jealous. No matter how many times you try to deny that.

So...are you admitting your a troll, or are you gonna tell me you arn't a troll and that you really are this obsessed with me not thinking Asmongold is anything special?
If you arn't trolling and you tell me, Ill believe you...but now it means you have other problems, and you need to figure out how to fix them bro.
Im not Jealous, Ill tell you with confidence a million times. Nothing to be Jealous about, Ive explained why.
Now, where does that leave you? Are you a troll, or a person with an obsession?

That's probably his main concern, and why he said to keep the negativity to a minimum. That, along with people telling him how to play. If he wants to go around doing whatever instead of the MSQ, people should let him. But "backseat gaming" plagues multiple streamers that I've seen, especially if it's someone trying an older game for the first time.

Nevertheless, part of the appeal of his content is getting his reaction, and that would include his reaction to the MSQ as that is an unavoidable part of FFXIV. If he ends up not liking FFXIV, his viewers would at least be able to see his full reaction live. (Of course, if he wants to continue, he may also decide not to stream all of his play time, depending on his schedule.)

No skip means weeks of Zzz's on stream, I'd say. Maybe he can make it into a sort of podcast for his viewership.

It is what it is. Also, what do you mean by turning it into a podcast?

He's expressed...and I agree with him that he Shouldn't Buy a Skip.
If he HAS to buy a skip, that is a negative mark on the game...and even if ARR is abit of a slog, its one worth going through, as it lays foundations for the games lore and storytelling later down the line.
He might actually care about story and lore, because Ive seen quite alot of videos of him watching lore dumps, and FFXIV doesn't have such videos (to my knowledge) of people explaining events and giving funny easy to digest tidbits about Eorzea Lore like WoW has with Azeroth. ""Warcrafts Most Incompetent King"" for example.

I kinda think he might be able to view ARR as a Game for its time, and might understand it will be slow because of the time it was made.

[WoW]

I really don't care...why do you want me to care?

I didn't say you needed to care. Admitting the truth doesn't mean you care about it.

Hey, your learning. We in fact Do the same things!
But I have to dock you points because you're talking about his money again and think he's special again...which he isn't. Calm Down Troll

You're doing the same thing, yet he's more successful than you rofl! You see how you look at each successful person and try to find what things you have in common just to deny they're anything special!? How bitter and jealous can you be!? You know, you might become successful yourself if you started to notice what makes successful people successful rather than what you have in common with them just to feel better about yourself.

So...are you admitting your a troll, or are you gonna tell me you arn't a troll and that you really are this obsessed with me not thinking Asmongold is anything special?
If you arn't trolling and you tell me, Ill believe you...but now it means you have other problems, and you need to figure out how to fix them bro.
Im not Jealous, Ill tell you with confidence a million times. Nothing to be Jealous about, Ive explained why.
Now, where does that leave you? Are you a troll, or a person with an obsession?

Never said I was a troll. So I'm not a troll and not a person with an obsession. I'm just a person here who debunks flawed arguments. You have so many of them and are blind by your own jealousy. If I was to say someone here has an obsession, that would be you. You have many times declared that you will not respond to me, and yet you still are. Kinda sad if you ask me. Furthermore, you continue to show how jealous you are from a person gaming at his parents house rofl!

--What truth am I admitting to then? If I dont care, then there is nothing to admit to.

--I am successful, High School Grad, have a job, have a house. Can buy things I want & Need and afford rent. Nothing to be jealous or Bitter about

--If you aren't a troll, then you have an obsession with me. If you dont have an obsession, then your a Troll. If you are neither, then why do you keep harassing me? You haven't debunked anything, Ive explained to you I have no jealousy, bitterness or admiration for Asmongold. I think he's nothing special, and you can't handle it.
You wont let it go and leave me be.
You have an Obsession with me. And its quite odd

[WoW]

--What truth am I admitting to then? If I dont care, then there is nothing to admit to.

Nope, that is false. If you don't care, it doesn't mean you can't admit the truth. Your jealousy is the actual reason you can't admit it.

--I am successful, High School Grad, have a job, have a house. Can buy things I want & Need and afford rent. Nothing to be jealous or Bitter about

Not being bale to admit that successful people who achieved more than you are special is what makes you bitter and jealous of them. It's simple as that.

--If you aren't a troll, then you have an obsession with me. If you dont have an obsession, then your a Troll. If you are neither, then why do you keep harassing me? You haven't debunked anything, Ive explained to you I have no jealousy, bitterness or admiration for Asmongold. I think he's nothing special, and you can't handle it.
You wont let it go and leave me be.
You have an Obsession with me. And its quite odd

I see that your reasoning skills are lacking. If you aren't A, then you're B, if you aren't B, then you're A. The way you phrased it here eliminates any possibility of a third case. And to my surprise, your next phrase is "If you're neither A or B" rofl!
I told you, I'm not a troll nor do I have an obsession with you. You're the one with an obsession with me because I'm pointing out the truth about your flawed arguments. And now you're playing the harassment card rofl! I'm not pointing a gun at your head and forcing you to reply to me on a public forum. You declared many times you will not respond to me, and yet you're still responding. This further proves that my analysis of you is correct. You are jealous of Asmongold who achieved far more than you did. And not only that, you have a weird obsession about me that you just can't let it go.

[Drkdays]

I wonder if he's reading how you two are fighting over him.


/wave
Hi Asmongold, we apologize.

There are mixed feelings.
