What are your thoughts on XIV content creation?

[WantlessYoYo]

Was talking with some friends about it and was just wondering what's the general thought on XIV content outside the game, in terms of you know, videos and stuff, main argument from friend's side that outside MSQ is basically non existent and just not even worth the watch even then

So wanted to ask, what's the general concern or thoughts on XIV content creation and/or creators

The only content worth watching is world first races and guides. Everything else is primarily watching the person playing the game, not what they are doing in game.

it exists and some people will like certain content more than any other content.
Taste is subjective aka YMMV

Yes, just like sports.

I only check occasional guides for specific fight mechanics on an as needed basis. I find the rest essentially inane and boring. Title sounds funny though “content creator”. I am not seeing much “creation”.

[Ranaku]

It's a highly subjective topic, i personally like the rather niche creators who make funny videos. When it comes to the rather big names i just despise how they are literally just drama and toxicity.

Also they love to push the responsibility away that comes with being a "famous" person.

Watching content creatures I find is useful. Especially to check if others are making the same assumptions or having the same experiences.

For example, there might be some content that I thought was very dull/drawn out. Rather than complain here, I’ll check what someone else did.

More often than not, there was a gimmick that I just didn’t notice to speed it up, or some misunderstanding I had about what to do.

Basically a good way to check that the problem I was having was a “me” problem.

Secondly, it is useful to rewatch certain parts of the game in their full context for lore purposes.

i dont watch content creators or anyone play video games, as for FF14 content outside of the game i only watch the silly stuff like this

90 percent are "10 TYPES OF FINAL FANTASY PLAYERS, NEW DRAMA PYRO/PLUGIN/LALAFELL CHILDS/BALANCE IS BAD", or guides for raiding and the remaining 10 percent is pretty funny stuff hidden deep below the sea of YouTube garbage.
