Asmongold's First Impression with Final Fantasy 14

[Lanadra]

If you want some insight on what it means to stream MMO compared to playing them for yourself, watch this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2psXI0mJsuA

I did actually watch that a few days ago, but thanks for the recommendation. It was interesting to watch because yeah, it makes you realize that a lot of what goes on in a stream, especially bigger ones, is done exactly because the streamer is trying to do their job.. entertaining the audience. It's why some of us kind of hoped Asmongold would play FFXIV off stream, so he could experience it as, well.. any non streamer would.

Yeah, I think more people need to realize that. It's not as simple as "he's playing the game wrong" (not that Asmon is) or "waah he's making fun of X he doesn't like it".

Pretty ironic ain't

PlayOnline still gives me nightmares...
It took me a few hours just to set up accounts to be able to log into XI...

I guess the Mog Station is an improvement over that? *cough*

I feel you, being on slow internet or dial up back then wasn't making it better either.

It probably didn't help that after clearing Playonline ultimate you then had a 14 hour download to do. Every file One. At. A. Time.

Yeah...that was bad. Was basically the same process for every update for me. My internet was crap back then so it easily took longer than 14 hours. lol

He's loving ARR and you think he won't like ShB?

If anyone can love ARR's story they deserve a medal. But yeah, if he's enjoying it now he's in for a real treat later.
