Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

[Anonemoose]

I don't care about what Zepla thinks and the only reason she is back to covering FFXIV is because her channel and brand is failing and in a desperate attempt to stem the bleeding and stay relevant she is outrage farming the state of the game.

Translation I don’t like mean streamer saying my game isn’t perfect so she must be wrong

Zepla tried to expand the repertoire of her stream and it failed because her community by in large seemed to just want XIV content. Now she is desperately trying to maintain any relevancy at all by turning on the game that made her. Taking a page straight out of many WoW streamers playbook circa 2019.

WoW had been in decline for a while at that point in time, and community frustration had been building up. It was starting to boil over then, but the situation exploded with Shadowlands, which was released in 2020. Sure, some were probably bashing WoW for the clicks, but the general frustration of the player base was all too obvious. There was a basis for it all, and it didn't have much to do with streamers maintaining their relevancy. WoW still hasn't fully recovered from the last few years, either. Many players had finally had enough of Blizzard and left, never to return.

Oh is that right? I wonder what happens if you rank the games she plays by average viewership.



Oh....

Outside of raiding and Ultimates, FF XIV isn't the most entertaining game to stream. If that list is current, then good on you Elden Ring for standing strong. It deserves to be near the top of the list.

Actually, one of the most streamed aspects of FFXIV has long been the MSQ. Long before the Asmongold thing, streamers with 200 viewers would go through the MSQ and go through similar things that Asmongold did. They still do and it still happens all the time. People like watching others experience the story that they did.

That's fine, too. I'm just saying that, compared to other games, it's probably not the most engaging experience to watch.

I dont wanna riff on people streaming to 200 viewers, getting that far is actually a huge accomplishment. But those arent particularly driving numbers for a game. The game is boring af to watch. It's currently sitting at place 69 on twitch for a 7 day average of 4k viewers.
For comparison:
Lineage 2 is at 4.1k
Fall Guys at 5k
Among us at 5.2k
Albion online is at 7.5k
Lost Ark at 12.2k
WoW at 60k

I'm sorry but by and large people arent interested in watching other people play ff14. I'm not even saying that as a bad thing about the game, that's just a fact. (Atleast we beat smite lol)
