#Asmongold
seeing asmon take chocobo racing so seriously is so fun to watch. seeing him genuinely enjoy himself is so great to watch
He looked soooo honestly and innocently happy riding that sabotender through the sky. Warms my damn heart 😭
"Here comes the big dick play" and proceeds to come in last in the chocobo race :P ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
As a saitama worshipper. I could not agree more.
@@carrotlyn Remind me of the "Make it Rain" sidequest. A dying boy wants to ride it for the last time, and his twin brothers farm MGP days and nights to make his dream come true.
great and fun to WATCH
Honestly that smile he made after he flew away on His cactaur mount is so wholesome. And it made me remember all the times I had just like this were your just so happy that the grind is over and you finally have the thing u wanted so badly lol
I think that really epitomizes why I love FF so much. There's so much you can *do* that's so rewarding - and almost none of it is mandatory. Want to learn all the Blue Mage spells? How about become a master-rated Mahjong or Triple Triad competitor? Then there's the level titles, the ones you get for getting all Disciple of War or Magic to level 50, 60, 70, 80. Depending on what you actually *like* about the game, there's all sorts of things to work towards. I love that.
@@Maria_Erias Well, getting all (non-limited) Disciple of War/Magic to 80 gets you an Amaro mount with unique music, which is great. Helps that the story also conditions you to like amaro so you want to grind for it
@@ralphbeez1411 I love how almost every mount in the game has its own unique music. Currently my main mount is the Zodiark mount cause I love his theme so much.
And then it's over in a few minutes or hours and you start the grind for something else.
I was legitimately shocked at how fast his aim was on the rail shooter bit
@@francoisturgeon1176 cringe
Luckily, fools can be ignored.
Like the one above.
Not even going to give them the grace of a ping.
Edit: Ofc I mean the first comment.
@@francoisturgeon1176 you are cute 🤗
@@francoisturgeon1176 80%? Where are we getting our numbers from?
@@francoisturgeon1176 Such a big boy, where is your mommy?
Asmongold: Gonna clear an Ultimate before Endwalker releases
Meanwhile:
For real lol 😂
Not to mention getting necromancer title before Endwalker xD
If you put as much time into FFXIV as WOW demands, you can actually get a LOT done.
I think he wanted to accomplish something that won’t require help
@@owlnite_ Well, if he is actually ging for the Necromancer title, the only help he can get are written or video guides. Since for the title you have to finish all 200 floors of Palace of the Dead solo
WoW: It's a special mount! It has different colored eyes!
FF: You want to ride a giant glowing inflatable cactus?
Me, riding a disk: :(
Me flying on a t-rex
yes! i do !
Yeah he talked about that before, that WoW needs to be more crazy with the mounts
He is genuinely happy, just look at that smile.
@@francoisturgeon1176 There's no doubt that he does most of this for show, but that smile was what happens to a showman after a lot of work. Lol It was, at least in part, genuine I think.
U kids are delusional
@@collinwgreen You big mad because WOW is dogshit.
lmfao he's just getting paid to play this corny game anyone would be happy. he got really far with his character
@@mute159 who paid him btw
Wow, his genuine smile really like, actually made me feel happy on the inside. I'm happy for him
@@francoisturgeon1176 is it so naive to believe that Asmongold would be happy after getting something that he's grinded for for a long time?
@@BaneHydra A month is nothing. And he did it when the 50% extra event was going on. Doing that outside of the event would have taken longer. And him getting addicted to Choco racing helped too. Just sayin
@@Lecruidant Is this a "Im jealous he got it!/did it faster than me so his achievement doesnt count" type of comment?
I really like the snap shot moments.
@@francoisturgeon1176 naive about what? you think him enjoying the game is fake or something?
Feelsgoodman seeing him farm for fun. Also you guys who play ff14 hope you get jackpot ;)
Yeah,for me "farming for fun" sounds like an oxymoron in most games but in this one it doesn't even seem that bad and life draining
@@RAD1111able Well, tbf, it has its moments. Eureka and Bozja are a painful grind. Luckily, you don't actually need to do it, unless you want a glowy cool weapon for glam. The Relic weapons are pretty, but not actually necessary to play the game. They're nice to have to be slightly more bitey than the usual, but not a deal breaker.
i just started after watching Asmon have fun, i was only playing SWTOR from 2013-2016 and maybe now new adventures awaits.
I got 300k for mounts, but waste all in glamour. LOL
i didn't get it and it's all your fault
Asmon breaking 2,000,000 with a Slice is Right victory was the hypest Gold Saucer win I ever got to watch.
That Air Force One gameplay was something else
Low key asmon has gotten really good at the jumping parts
He played ALTF4 he's practiced before.
cant wait for him to get the kugane one
Yeah, doesn't he spend all his time in the gold saucer whenever he's not streaming?
@@porkcutlet3920 12 hours a day. I never not see him in there
im only lvl 55 when do we unlock these? this looks like fun!
Just for reference, the WoW equivalent of the Gold Saucer is the Darkmoon Faire. Yeah... Its like comparing a luxury all-inclusive resort, to a motel 8.
Blizzard could totally have turned the Darkmoon Faire into something like the Golden Saucer. But they won't, because they don't care about making their game fun anymore. They chase MAUs and systems that force player engagement simply to keep people logged in and grinding endless "content" that will get thrown in the trash in the next patch.
The devs of FF14 are gamers who work on a game that they love. The devs of WoW are wannabe Gustavo Frings, trying to come up with the ultimate addictive drug to hook people into meaningless content.
@@Maria_Erias Are you saying people are having fun without any bullshit system or farming BIS gear for incentive as long as its fun? ? What sorcery is this?
@@blushingralseiuwu2222 ofc
I tried to farm tickets in darkmoon faire, but I just can't. It's just too boring, but that was the past.
Gold saucer is fun and farmable.
@@Hero4fun77 I wanted to like darkmoon faire, but it won't let me
Who would've thought a year ago that Asmon would rejoice in flying on a giant glowing blow-up cactus in an anime-aesthetics game, hah.
I love it when Asmongold gets so happy that we see Zack for a second
And now he can bring the Gold Saucer music wherever he goes, so he can always feel at home :)
Considering asmon almost never leaves his house and just plays games all day. I'm guessing that's a year's worth of content so far for casual players. After all the free trial has no time limit.
It's not hard to rack up lots of MGP, but it's one of those things that you can't really grind out obsessively every moment of the day. I used to get together with a friend every other night or so. We'd park ourselves in the Golden Saucer and hit up the GATEs when they came up at every :20 on the hour. In between, we'd stream stuff together or play Minecraft or Hearthstone matches. If you do your daily tickets and knock out 3-4 GATEs in a day, you can make 10-20k MGP a day. Add in the 10k just for showing up for the Fashion Report each week and the 4500+ just for losing at the big Cactpot every week, and it does add up over time. Plus, there's about 20-30k MGP every week for the Challenges there, too, so even in a week of casual playing you can earn 100K+.
@@Maria_Erias Not to mention that we literally just had a Gold Saucer event that increases the rate of MGP gain, so that increased all those gains even more.
@@Maria_Erias iirc you can manipulate pet fights rankings for an easy 1 million coins every reset
@@petnaby i'm not just talking about his time in the gold saucer tho, the raids the other mount quests, the story quests, transmog hunting all of those.
There was an ongoing event that gave +50% of all the earnings so that helped him quite a bit too
And thus he did carry on his adventures, no longer Asmongold Bald, but Asmongold Saucer.
It's awesome how that mount takes a MINIMUM of a month(Usually way more) to grind, but nobody is upset about it because it's FUN to grind!
he better stick with fashion reports or he's gonna kick himself for not saving the 200k for the regalia next month.
still remember farming it when we didnt have that much many GATEs in ARR for Fenrir, and i still use this mount almost as main one, together with pvp one from Garo event, Raigo is love. 2 mounts i was always most proud and happy about getting.
You can farm that mount within a week during the MGP event. Some people farmed both Fenrir and Emperadour during the event. It's a truly insane grind though.
@@sanderkiki Raigo, Fenrir, Gabrial MK III, Hybodus and Battle Tiger for me.
@@AVeryNormalGuy yeah but when it added 1mil MGP was big :> i know its easy to get now and i dont care, the emotions i got while farming and after getting was more important.
That cute face you are making when getting your cactus mount. Like a kid on Christmas :D getting the gift he wanted :D
Never thought i would see “Fashion Leader” 2 months into the game lol i expected more EX and Savage from Asmon
His most viewed content in WoW are transmog competitions and Mount off competitions. Raiding is probably a goal, but it isn't weird to see Fashion Leader.
If he was just a raider he probably wouldn't have graduated into a 5 or 6 digit view count guy on Twitch.
@@semi6544 Sure it’s weird to see Fashion Leader. He talks all tough about having a character that is a badass and emulates him in a sense, to see Fashion Leader is literally the opposite of his persona
To be fair, Fashion Leader is really easy to achieve if you have access to the Marketboard and a ton of gil. The real challenge is getting Fashion Leader while on the Free Trial.
He literally stalled MSQ for a week to do sync'd min ilvl ARR raids and EXs what are you even talking about lmfao. Heaven forbid he have some fucking fun in the game w side content
Asmond is so good at the jumping game lol. He's experiencing all the mini games
Triple Triad and Lord of Verminion still waiting for him
Asmon having so much fun. I'm glad I came with him to FFXIV. I'm having a blast as well. Story is great
Asmon literally flying towards the sunset with that cactus.
Now he knows how Nanamo feels
He got the Kirin and Sabotender Emperador within this short time span of playing the game... If there is anything I don't doubt about this man, it's his determination.
So nice to see Asmon actually have fun playing an MMORPG again. To be fair it’s not even possible to enjoy that steamy turd WoW.
Watching Asmon do transmog comp in WoW was pretty fun to watch
WoW is fun
Wow bad xiv good pls updoot....
1 word … PVP
@derp derpin It is exactly how it works.
i know people want him to rush the expacs before endwalker comes, but i want him to keep enjoying the game at the pace he's going. that is the way ffxiv is best designed.
I didn't know Asmon was an FPS legend. Air Force was insane!
He’s so happy when he gets the mount it’s great to see
even with the make it rain event its still pretty impressive that he got the most expensive mount in the gold saucer he really be living in the gold saucer
Six hours a day in the Gold Saucer for the Big Cactus, what a mad lad
6?? He never left saucer dude and Rich even confirmed it, althou now his time is split with POTD.
14:10 Look at how happy he is 🥰
Asmongold is unintentionally hilarious. At 1:49 he calls the guy an idiot for falling then he falls five seconds later. Then the chat starts calling him an "IDIOT". That's just hysterical.
I don't even play FFXIV and I don't think I will in the near future but it seems really fun and fooling around oriented,I love it and Asmon seems to love it too
I mean every single thing asmon has done this far is all part of the free trial, might as well download it and give it a try.
@@patrickmcpartland1398 Question, are all of these mini games available in the free trial too?
@@goroOI23 yes. Everything up to the end of heavensward is free
@@goroOI23 Should be.
@@jacobmech1 man that's awesome
Nothing more pure as seeing the joy in a boy's eyes as he rides his magical flying cactus mount.
Also that look of PURE JOY he had when he started flying the mount..... priceless lol
Just that smile at the end, that sheer expression of joy. Man, that's great.
that smile of genuine happiness and contentment at the end when he got his big ol cactus boy :')
asmon's aim on the rail shooter was actually really fast and precise
god gamer
The pure bliss in his face when he was riding that cactus LOL
Love that he's hooked into the game. Flashback to over a month ago when he reacted to Zeplas mount video and he laughed at this one. Same with the horses. So glad he's having fun.
14:12 that's the face of happyness. Good for you, dude
7:58 lol when hes just walking around mad with that music in the background.
All his wow mounts shaking their heads right now
@@paulogaspar8295 RNG =/= Hard to get
Asmon saying 'Idiot' and immediately falling off himself will never get old
chocobo raging rather than racing, its soo fun to watch, ultimate raids hath no fury as getting a back ass water in chocobo raging. Heck gonna bet my money he wont rage as much as doing chocobo when he EVENTUALLY "does ultimate"
Fueh, its way more fun to watch asmon spawning meme left and right going rage mode in chocobo race and go bonkers over back ass water anyways lol.
Also, congrats dooood, glad to see you enjoying yourself and having fun. That smile is a smile of a happy man who have fun doing what he's doing it put a smile on my face, I believe a lot of peeps are also smiling watching our boi genuinely happy.
The more I watch him, the more I love this fella!
I wouldn't spend my MGP on this mount, but if he's happy, i'm happy.
It's so cool to see Asmon having fun in our Favourite game. I can see that he has fun, not rage or Flame. Just fun - what every Game is for.
So good seeing him actually enjoying himself play a game, I made the move from wow to FF online and I’m having a blast glad he is to.
The last time i watched content from this dude he was hating on ffxiv so hard this is literally gold to watch
He could be driving in an actual Ferrari but flying on an imaginary cactus is what needed most.
I agree with a lot of the comments on here. Asmon is having fun again, and it's great to see.
Simple childhood joy, so good to see. A year ago, the thought of Asmongold farming the Gold Saucer in FFXIV for a Cactus mount being held up by floating balloons... to use an Asmon quote, "not in this reality!" But yet here we are, it is strange times we live in, and not all for the worse.
Lowkey Asmon pretty good at shooting love how this game has so many ways to play a game! Ff14 is such a trancending game I wish I played it earlier
Imagine if WOD had something like the gold saucer instead of garrisons. But Blizzard doesn't have that kind of creativity any more, they haven't for years.
Blizzard was always at their best in the old days when they stole ideas from other companies and put their own spin on it. They did that all through the vanilla, BC, and Wrath era. Around Cataclysm, the big first generation graphical MMOs had mostly died down - EverQuest, Asheron's Call, Dark Age of Camelot, Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, etc. So, Blizzard stopped having a lot of contemporary to steal ideas from. After that, the successful MMOs - FFXI, FF14, ESO, SWTOR, Guild Wars 2 - had all split off from the EverQuest clone idea (which is what WoW was, an EverQuest-type MMO).
The core problem was not in garrisons, but its design which made players sit there forever
Wow is dead stop talking about this garbage, its annoying
@@Korrakh Yes I know WOW is dead. I quit at the end of Legion myself. But sometimes it's fun to imagine what might've been, if Blizzard had even the smallest scrap of creativity, vision, or passion.
@@Korrakh Dude, if you don't like reading about certain things, then don't fricken read them. Stop trying to control what people talk about.
That satisfied smile at the end when he used his new mount is just awesome
Remembering the good times.
Big difference between FFXIV and WoW is that in this game they let you work towards the things you want rather than rely on blind luck.
Damn, he crushed those minigames!
That smile after getting his mount is 100% genuine.
_"Did you get the cactus?"_
_"Yes."_
_"What did it cost?"_
_"10.000 gifted subs."_
I can’t wait to see you do the Hilldibrand storyline.
It is the best, super nice rewards aswell from it .
The part with the hair tonic is going to be the funniest fucking shit in the history of his stream.
omg same!!
@@Gunplabro YOOOOO I DIDNT EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT LMAO
LOL yea
A streamer (sorry, forgot his name): Why is he in the Saucer all day every day? Play some Ultimates!
Asmon: _There is a method to the madness._
You probably meant Arthas, that dude who was freking out in a clip over the fact that asmon hasn't even reached the end game yet.
That 360 never gets old. Cool af
@13:57 is where it's at. Look at the genuine happiness.
13:56 seeing the bald man smile is the most wholesome thing i've seen in the internet in a while
Such a cute mount, knew I loved that mount the moment I first saw it on your first play through.
I have not seen Asmongold smile so well since years ! great to see you enjoy the Game Asmon !!!
Can't wait for Chocobo Racing (Ultimate) when he has to race against 7 stream snipers at once
Happy for Asmon! As a long time player of FFXIV, I wanna thank him for bringing new life to the game and the influx of new players. This massive boost just guaranteed a longer life span for the game.
I think it's important to recognize, this mount takes a lot of dedication and time to get. Some people might think 2 million MGP is "easy" to get but it is not, you need to toil away for a while to get it done. Grats Asmon! :)
PS: Get that Chocobo tuned up bro, wtf lol! :D
It says a lot about the Gold Saucer. Just straight-up fun optional content and you can see it that brings joy by looking at Asmon's smile at the end.
If Blizzard wants to make a comeback with WoW, they need to remember what fun is and not add in different kinds of mandatory boring grinds.
I've never seen someone aimbot Air Force One so fucking hard. Goddamn that was nice
My personal best achievement in ffxiv is clearing e8s as a blackmage, but watching asmon makes me realize how incredibly casual I am at this game lmaooo
Also him just grinning at the end with the mount is honestly wholesome
Never thought I would see Asmon so genuinely happy playing FFXIV flying on a colorful inflatable cactus. It's amazing how long ppl refuse to play something just because they refuse to give it a chance and rather stick to the routine even if it's not as fun anymore. FFXIV just feels like what it should be about, you escape reality to join a better one, stress free and fun. No drama, nothing.
That's crazy. I don't think I've ever seen a genuine sprout with the Sabotender mount. That's crazy dedication right there. You deserve it! Good job!
I want to find a partner that looks at me the way he looks at his new mount.
He looked so genuinely happy.
I used to sit at the Gold Saucer trying to get all the bunny stuff lol
But now I need to get this mount after the car mount anyways
I have so many other things I want to do and I still want to get through the MSQ to Heavensword already...*sighs*
Once Asmon becomes one of us who are sitting at the MGP cap with nothing to spend our tickets on he'll look back at this moment with nostalgia.
Look at how happy he is! I remember seeing his vids months before he tried 14 and he looked so grumpy but look at him he's full of joy after getting the mount! I call this character development.
well make sure to keep 200,000 mgp for the 4 seater car coming in a month or so - the ffxv event :) glad you have fun
You can the enjoyment in his face playing the game
I feel super confident in FFXIV jumping puzzles after playing since 2.0 but GODDAMN he picked it up quick! He must've spent an ass load of time practicing in that mini game. Love to see him happy!
I started watching him about 4 years ago. Never seen this guy have this much fun. 2021 really is changing the world.
when asmongold began:"dude why would i go to the gold saucer"
now:"GOLD SAUCER INTRO BOIS"
seriously though,its nice to see how much fun he has doing all sorts of different thigns in ff14...this is the ebst advertising square could wish for
That feeling of euphoria and self-satisfaction when he first mounted... is priceless. I'm happy to have witnessed Asmongold genuinely being happy again.
Dude, ive played this game way before this mount was added. Granted i have fenrir, but like asmongold took it like a champ and grinded this out first. Nothing but respect from me.
grats! that was sofun to watch! so happy for u!
fans: how did you know that you will get cactus today?
Asmon: because RNG is all skill scrub
If he really beats Ultimate before the expansion, I’ll lose my mind. Dude has spent a month gambling lol
The Cactus mount was the first grind in FFXIV for me. Only level 35 sprout with it. Feels good, man.
Anyone notice everytime Asmon says "Wow" He sounds exactly like the Owen Wilson?
Now grind back 200k MGP for the FFXV Regalia mount next month. Ride around in style.
The ffxiv mount offs are gonna be fun.. can't wait to win
So freaking awesome, congrats man!
shame you cant use it in dungeons or in main cities to show off your hard work, i get why they dont do it in main cities but there's no reason not to use ground mount in dungeons or raids
That instant karma on the platforming minigame was so good. It happened so fast he accidentally called himself an idiot 😂
the bird racing thing originaly comes from mu online, where people used to race for prizes in backyard of Lorencia
It was based on chocobo racing from Final Fantasy VII gold saucer. So unless Mu Online existed already back before 1997, then huge chance you're mistaken, friend
@@spearsage Wdym im mistaken, i doubt that in 1997 people had race events, lmao. Mu online did it with the mount at back of the lorencia. there was even a special track for it.... Look have this game looked back then, pixel after pixel.
@@yaboyflvckor456
Final Fantasy 7 has a racing minigame almost exactly like the Chocobo Race of this game. That game came out in 1997, while MU Online came out in 2001. Heck, the entire Gold Saucer of FF14 is massively inspired by Gold Saucer of FF7.
