I do think the endgame is where FFXIV will lose him, though. No PvP; No small group or solo content to tackle; He'll basically need to organize an 8 or 24 man raid anytime he wants some engaging content for his stream, and even that won't last very long.
There's plenty of things he can do that will mirror what he does in WoW- tmog competitions, mount offs both can happen here, he can probably get the same amount of 'chat ban appeal' vids out, he will have plenty of savage/ultimate raiding to do, he'll have a considerable amount of mount farming to do.

He'll likely do at least a full clear of the deep dungeons, I wouldn't be surprised if he does the side content like Eureka/Bozja since that's great for a group. I can't see him getting through everything any time soon.

What I can see being more likely to lose him is the game being far too balanced- streamers in general like WoW because with the right gear/spec/items/etc... they can utterly dominate in dps meters or in pvp over players that lack that. Look at how many wow high light vids are pvp vids where someone two shots another player, or is getting wailed on by four guys and taking no damage then turns around with their fully enchanted, fully buffed bis gear and kills all of them in two globals.

That's what's exciting content in WoW- in FFXIV, that's just not going to happen.
