The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

I'm also impressed he's made a stream about ARR questing so popular. Most of us believed it'd never work, but he's capturing that new-game excitement well. 150k viewers is massive, it's brilliant advertisement for the game and overall it's just a positive. Credit where credit is due.

One thing I've noticed from watching many of the new FFXIV players that came from WoW on youtube and twitch is that they actually enjoy the ARR quest experience. As a FFXIV player we are quite jaded to the experience due to having gone through it and now viewing it as simply a roadblock, however new players from a game that handles leveling differently have a much different look on it.

I've always felt that people should not immediately "badmouth" ARR when introducing the game to others.

I understand the desire to "set expectations" so others can get through it, but people are different, and some can actually enjoy it, like I did my first time, when left to make their own judgment about it.

And to be fair, Asmongold is not done yet with ARR, so things could still go sideways (if it hasn't already), but it's up to him to decide that.
