not disrespect but 90% of vtubers in ff14 are not good lol truth hurts

[os12ispeak]

The world of Final Fantasy XIV is vast and diverse, with a vibrant community of players, including a growing number of virtual YouTubers, or VTubers, who stream their gameplay. While many VTubers add value and entertainment, there’s a perception among some players that a significant portion of VTuber streams in FFXIV may not meet their expectations. Here’s a closer look at why some believe that 90% of VTubers in FFXIV fall short:

Skill Level Variability: VTubers, like any group of gamers, vary significantly in skill level. Some viewers expect high-level play and strategic insights when watching a stream, especially if they're looking to improve their own gameplay. However, VTubers often focus more on entertainment than on high-level performance, which can disappoint viewers who are seeking advanced gameplay tips.

Content Depth: VTubers aim to entertain, which sometimes means their content leans towards more accessible, broadly appealing activities rather than deep dives into complex game mechanics or high-tier raiding. This focus can be perceived as less engaging for veteran players or those interested in the more intricate aspects of FFXIV.

Interaction Over Gameplay: The main appeal of VTubers often lies in their personality and viewer interaction. Some might prioritize engaging with their chat or performing their character over concentrating on gameplay. This can lead to less focused or lower-quality gameplay, frustrating viewers who are there more for the game than the personality.

Over-Saturation: With the rise of VTubing, many new streamers are trying to make their mark. This influx can lead to a feeling of over-saturation with too many people doing similar things without enough differentiation in content or quality. When viewers stumble across several VTuber streams that don’t meet their expectations, it can contribute to a broader generalization that many VTubers "suck."

Community Dynamics: Some community members may feel that VTubers attract a fanbase more interested in the VTuber’s virtual persona than in FFXIV itself. This can lead to a mismatch in community interactions during streams, where discussions may not always relate directly to the game, diluting the experience for those seeking game-centric conversations.

Addressing these perceptions isn't about discounting the VTuber community in FFXIV but rather understanding the specific needs and expectations of the broader player base. For VTubers looking to improve or expand their appeal, focusing on enhancing game knowledge, diversifying content, and balancing gameplay with interaction could help bridge the gap between entertainment and informative streaming.

Modern gamers who play xiv are wise to use AI to rewrite their post before posting to avoid bans and offending Americans, while still being able to clearly communicate their views.

I can't say I've ever watched a vtuber and expected any kind of high skill content or gameplay of any kind for that matter. They are all DJs or are all just chatting while messing with glams.

Streamers in general aren't paid to be good at games. They're paid to be entertaining. Those two traits are quite often at odds with each other.

Truth, that is an accurate take, but I really value finding people who genuinely are good and humble about it. I have played for a while and still have so much to learn lol


Also omg this

This game CAN'T have good content creators though


There isn't much for people to see skill expressions on jobs because every job has strict 60s/120s rotation. There's no freedom in how you play your jobs.

So about this, It could all be resolved if they gave each class MORE abilities and forced people to shoot what load out of skills they want. There will always be a minmaxer but this way there is multiple way to minmax like, Healer with DPS focused kit, or DPS that could be a DoT, Party support or Glass cannon. Each class has its focus but they could all have a side bar of skills and utilities giving players more options
