Never heard of them. Then again I am of a generation that doesn’t get ‘watching other people play games’.
However I have tried FF14 because a friend recommended it. I played WOW since 2007 - 2013 then came back for end of BFA. Even though I mostly solo now, 9.1 just feels like adding more grind and gating for the sake of it, to prolong playtime for no real enjoyment.
Only played FF14 for 30 mins, so not enough to judge it, but I feel it might be cute enough to draw my GF in, she also plays wow.
Yeah I grew up with siblings, so the concept of watching someone else play just brings back annoying memories of “waiting for my turn”.
I think i choose the wrong words here. Im fully aware and im absolutely expecting for him to fail horribly. Also its very much plausible that if his fanbase goes bonkers that square enix threatens him with a bann.
Edit: And his playerbase already causes login queues. Ye square wont be happy about this.
People turned their heads toward FF because people got fed up with Blizzard crap.
Asmon was a small participant in the larger movement which started weeks prior to him even talking about FF.
I’m not 10 years old. I have my own mind.
The grammar, spelling and punctuation of the OP should explain the ‘asmon ff14 bandwagon mindset’ enough. Christ almighty.
Yup, Square Enix is furiou sabout Asmongold playing their game. They already told him on Twitter.
Started playing FF14 myself three months ago and so far I’ve complete the entire MSQ and I’m about to hit level 80 in a second job. Very much enjoying the game and looking forward to completely more of the dungeons and raids that don’t come up during the MSQs of earlier expansions.
Already have Endwalker pre-ordered as well and look forward to playing that. Not like WoW is going to have new content from at most 9.1.5. It’s roughly six or so months per major patches and I don’t see 9.2 being this side of Christmas.
I mean I can’t deny that 200k subs is huge.
Reply to me once you are capable of understanding context and reading (the latter given Mues thread). You have a thing going on with making a fool of yourself tho.
And that they welcome him like that is obvious, and also the Japanese are more than polite. They still wont be happy about all the bad things his mob is bringing with it. And Asmongold will quit anyway. Quit or get hard carried again like in retail. But that is something that flew over your head as per usual.
Btw, the patch launched on June 30 btw. Just going to remind you again.
People will complain about Asmon bringing “wow players” to their server and then when he quits they’ll complain that he is a closed minded WoW fan boy. (What you know - seems to already be happening in this thread)
I hope he enjoys it. I have been on the fence about playing FF14, 9.1 pushed any interest I had aside for a little while. Competition in the MMO-RPG market is a win-win for everyone involved.
Yes. And it will have an impact because the big streamers are turning away (even if only temporarily). Which if they dont interest Ion in the very least they are going to interest bobby and especially his investors given the whole package of the game going downhill and it could serve as the last drop for the investors to go berserk on bobby given how they nearly refused to pay him his bonus despite fulfilling his end of the bargain. The investors are already very doubtful of the game as is.
Eurgh… 90’s arcades. A huge pile of 20 pence pieces on the Street fighter 2 cabinet waiting your turn to be pummeled in seconds by the reigning “champ” who kept defeating the new challenger.
Didn’t bother me. i was the reigning champ.
“Hello!!! ready to go? Put your 20p in and choose your fighter, I’ll stick with Ryu…”
“Thanks mate. can I pick ken?”
“Sure, your money mate. You know his moves?”
“Yeah.”
"OK lets go… "
CPS! guile theme
"Opponent jumps at me, I back off and defend. He gets in a JRH into CLS. Tries it again.
I counter him with a SDP.
"Damn… " he starts to hold his joystick just a little harder and is noticeably pressing the buttons harder. He’s losing confidence.
"He jumps in and tries a FDP. Misses and flies over my Ryu’s head, and falls behind him.
(Ken is INCREDIBLY vulnerable on landing after a missed Shoryuken.)
My Ryu. Two CSK’s, CFP into FHDK. Ken is stunned. JFP into CFP into SDP, hitting in a four hit combo. Ken loses round 1.
Everyone else waiting their turn looks on nervously
My opponent tries a different strategy, opens with a JFK into a MTetsumaki. Ryu counters with a SDP. Mega damage as I know when to time to move to the sprite animation. Ken player now starts to panic. Throws FDP’s, forcing Ryu to block into corner. He thinks he’s got me. Last FDP. Crouching block. ken takes too long to land. Ryu throws him behind and fighters are now opposite to their starting positions, meaning the special move commands are reversed. Ken panics. Ryu jumps in with JFP, into SMP into FHDK. Stunned. Finishes with SFpinto FDP.
Ken defeated. Player laughs and we say good game. I turn to crowd watching, all looking at each other.
They allow me to continue to defeating all the CPU opponents in order and let me walk off the machine to give them a chance.
Ahhhhhh the good ol days of waiting your turn, and when complete strangers didn’t throw tantrums because they lost on a videogame.
Brigante, is that you?
Nah he was the Ken player…
Hm?! Whats a Ken player?! this better not be about me >:c
these are different people … man you’re dumb
I thought people were saying he would be back in 9.1 yet 9.1 is here and well the reaction are meh and it seems he is sticking to that game and people are watching him , i suppose some of them are gonna give it a try…
Well if I turned to FF that would be out of unfair change/boredom not because of that person but i underestimated how much influence he got on some people and how many viewer.
Thank you for your highly valued and insightful response.
(They’re the same people)
must be you yourself then
Is it on a report basis or do they have automated chat sniffers?
could you just make a group of likeminded individuals where you would actually be able to discuss it?
On topic;
Personally I’ve tried to play FFXIV 3 times, I’ve lost interest each time before level 10, I don’t think a 4th try will end any differently. The reason I tried 3 times is because I am a final fantasy head and wanted to explore the story of 14 cause I heared a lot of good but man it hasn’t been enjoyable on any of the 3 attempts.
There’s always minecraft if I want to play a game and world of warcraft is still miles ahead as a platform to RP on then final fantasy.
