    I didn’t know the guy before all of this, but his let’s-plays have been on point. He sincerely has been playing the game like any random dude could; he’s had his jabs in good fun, but mostly he’s been very respectful of the actual content- reading it all, not skipping anything and trying his best to do the content as correctly as he understands he should. Nothing trolling about him thus far.

    From reading comments here I was certainly expecting bad, but I’d be happy to play with this guy anytime.

    I mean at least it isn't Playonline from the mid 2000s that some of us oldies remembers.[/QUOTE]
    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 thought he would skip every cutscene, not read anything, and soon quit after calling this a "weeb game" (well, maybe not that specific term, but heavily hinting that the game was for weirdos or something).

    It's actually been really fun watching him play, and I am very pleasantly surprised to see him enjoy it so much. I'm still not really loving his "stream persona," and it's cringey how he feels he needs to proclaim "big dick damage" on bosses and act disgusted anytime a lala appears on-screen. But, I get there is more to him than that underneath the hood. He was actually quite well-spoken in this video. I really appreciated it!

    And yeah, the Square Enix website is an absolute dumpster fire. Any time I want to re-subscribe or un-subscribe, I feel like I need to look up a Mizzteq guide video. I actually have a friend I was trying to convince to come back and play for a bit, now that the free trial goes all the way to 60 and includes Heavensward. I think he was sincerely interested in jumping back into the game, but because he already technically owns a retail version of the game he bought years ago, he is ineligible to join as a free trial player. I was supremely disappointed to hear this, and yet I am not surprised as it seems like an iconic "Square Enix" policy in action.
    Congratulations, you managed to set aside your preconceived notions about Asmongold (trust me, I had them also) and see a side of him that is quite different from the Stream Persona. I was surprised myself by how different he was in his ZackRawrr videos, but I quickly understood that is because that's.. you know, Zack, the actual person talking rather than Asmongold.

    It makes you realize most of what he's doing on stream while playing FFXIV is probably on purpose, acting disgusted by Lala's, mispronouncing everything, not unlocking anything that most players would, not using porters, not configuring his UI, etc.

    I'm always happy to see new players, and I'm especially happy to see a new player that previously couldn't get over the uwu owo we have in this game. Genuinely hope he continues to enjoy it, and I'm especially looking forward to his reaction to seeing Good King Moogle Mog for the first time.

    Ultimate Coil. Since he wants to do Ultimates.
    And the Shadowbringers 5.0 MSQ.

    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".

    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.
