The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

[Sotaris]

If him or his fanbase is saying "zzzzzzzzz purchase a skip please" then maybe he shouldn't be playing FFXIV in the first place since it's clearly not meant for him and his fans.

Some of the most powerful moments in the game are built from the ground up from the very beginning, and that includes story beats from ARR. I mean, it's fine, isn't it, not every game is meant for everyone, and if he's compelled to purchase a skip because of his/his fans' preference it is not really an evidence of "FFXIV's weakness" or anything like that, it is simply that it is not a game for him and his followers.

And the game would be fine without him. FFXIV and its community doesn't need him and his followers to thrive.

Then the game isn't for many people. I haven't met many people that enjoy ARR story and would want to skip to HW. Also gcbtw

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.

Probably a smart move, just stream the endgame sections. Tbh even 14 is a pretty boring and slow game to stream unless you just stream raidbosses.

Go find a life, or a Hobby Dude.
Stop

I think he has a hobby. That would be pretty obvious seeing this thread lol.
