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.

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.

As well appreciated, and Beautifull as it is, There's simply Not enough Utilities for Island Sanctuarys. I have spoken with dozens of other Island owners, and all near beg for their own Personal, decoratable house, Retainer Bells, Mailbox, FC Vault. Myself included.

For me, It is simply another daily chore to get tokens. (two diff crowries silly & confusing) To buy a few Market sellables. None of my friends actually host anything there. With zero amenities, It's simply a Giant postcard to Ooh and Ahh at. "Oh wow! this is beautifull!. but I have to go now, thnx for showing me " Is the usual response when inviting friends over.

Like Gridania, It too Rains Far too often, for too long. (In my Fantasy game, Rain is a rare, unliked event). Glamours are limited to plaza, walkways.. and not the cabin / buildings /land marks themselves. Every players Island a cookie cut postcard. with zero difference, no Utilities.
Private time there nice, but gods forbid you afk and auto-booted hosting a party. Unlike Housing Zones, nobody who isnt a friend/FC member can visit to rate, marvel at your island home. Allowing 15 players there is pointless if nobody wants to go there.

Since there are 100s of Empty FC plots, and No personal plots available in housing zone, why can't we have a home on our Islands?.

We love the Islands. But as we spend Hours and days working on it, we want retainer bells / Vaults etc, to make it far more Worth building, staying / visiting.

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
