Content Creators and Youtube

I don't know; haven't payed attention. What I do know is that Sophia is canonically the cutest Miqo'te in the world! Sufferhymn's content is fantastic! ^^

Assuming you are talking about the user I assume (if it is, they've tried to pull the 'complainers don't have good enough parses to be complaining' card before), I have higher bests than them for M1-M4, I think that Healers need some adjustments, and I will keep saying that they need adjustments until they actually get some

I think Kohashi specifically elected to say "where's your 100 parses" because they think no one on these forums would have any. I showed them one of mine, I think it was a lucky week 2 reclear, and I have a few more from early clears. Got deleted (and banned) very quickly probably because he got super mad lmao.

Meanwhile they haven't even cleared a tier.

But the fact they even think 100 parses are impressive says it all. Most of those are just early lucky runs. But even getting a true rank 1 from ShB and onwards more often just involves farming high crit% runs again and again, sometimes even asking your static to sandbag for you to get a good kill time or adjusting their rotations to accomodate rDPS. It just proves that you're willing to grind. Even in SB a lot of rank 1s are padded. Honestly going for rank 1 in this day and age is not impressive. All it shows is that you're willing to waste tens to hundreds of hours on a single fight and to get a group of friends together who care enough about this to grind it out. It's fun for a tier or so but it quickly gets boring. If he was actually in a position to critique others' logs he would know all of this. (Although some people who succumbed to the parse brainrot really deluded themselves into thinking that getting a rank 1 means exceptional skill).

Actually I don't even know what this has to do with content creators but I just love jumping onto an easy self-inflicted own.

You (general you) can be a gold barser and still have no idea what you're talking about. Funny how certain discussion seem to have a high odds in drawing out certain "small d!*k (measuring)"-mentality on board.

On the topic though, I never not liked Lucy Pyre's FFXIV videos. Right amount of sass and cringe on her titles. Her sense of humor resonates with mine.

It's called documenting the fiery slow motion train wreck.

Has anyone noticed the increased opinion pieces/video essays on Youtube about FF14? And if so, what's your favorite click bait title?¡

Yes, I noticed the increase. I did not notice any clickbait, though. Video titles usually line up with the content. Just because you dislike the content doesn't mean it's clickbait.

Well, too bad they deleted it so fast.

Ban hammer, any% speed run.

I don't think I've actually seen something get taken down so fast. - Surprised their comment didn't get taken down tbh, as the implication of their post was that "people are too inept to press even 2 buttons and that their opinion doesn't matter if they don't have a gold parse" (Who even unironically says that), which if I am honest is about as tame as the removed post

I'd rather have people critiqueing the game, than not. Critique is how the game evolves, not praising the devs for no changes and spamming how you cried in a scene or "welcome to Shadowbringers" shocked face pikachu.

The devs called this on themselves, its been years since no hats and other minor QoL stuff they seemingly cant solve. If honest critique doesnt help, tossing tomatoes at them will and them losing their bank.

When did Critique ever help this game other than the 1.0 spectacle?

No.
Which might be related to the fact that I never understood why I should watch someone talk about a game, when instead I could just play said game myself. Most probable reason: I'm old.

[Antharaes]

None, perfectly capable of making up my own mind. No need to listen to other people's opinion. They swear, scream, yell, are loud and obnoxious, just to get views. All that, just to share their opinion.

Many times, as seen below for just a sample:

Yup. I remember it all.

I remember when OG Diadem was nuked into the abyss from feedback to get Eureka and how Eureka was panned into obscurity to get Bozja and so on. I remember when players complained about how ARR was too long so they cut out a bunch of side stuff. I remember when people complained about job buff/debuff synergies. I remember when people complained about TP and aggro. I remember when people complained about cross class skills.
