Something about the music and the fun storyline is just so peaceful. 99% of the people on FFXIV are really nice to people even if the person isnt great and like to help the person out. Just a lot of fun over all
My journey through FFXIV from ARR to Endwalker was a goddamned magical experience. Without a doubt my most joyful and memorable experience as a gamer. 35+ years of memories and adventures in a franchise all coming together. The story is hands down some of the absolute best storytelling I have EVER experienced. The community is super friendly. The developers actually play their game AND give a shit about their playerbase. I'm not an emotional guy by any stretch of the imagination but this game reduced me to tears on several occasions. You care about the world, the characters, the heroes and villains, the music, the community . . . ALL of it is solid 10/10 all around. If you're a long time Final Fantasy fan like me than all of that explodes exponentially. I am genuinely sad that there are tons and tons of people who won't get to have the experience that I have had playing this game. Cheers and love to all who know exactly what I am describing.
I mean I think the game is fun to play, but there are still a ton of issues with it I almost wish they remade FF XIV into a new MMO on a new engine with a proper network infrastructure this time. In terms of story I think the best part is easily attributed to the localization god Koji Fox's work in translating the story from Japanese to English. Koji's work gets overlooked quite a bit and needed to give him credit here. I enjoyed SB and Shadowbringers stories but unfortunately, and I know this is unpopular, I can't say the same for Endwalker, although there were some cool moments. What do you mean by 35+ years of memories coming together? I don't understand what this has to do with the other final fantasies.
@@Malnaxe FF14 not only references other titles in the franchise, it takes elements and concepts from them as well. It has its own story, but it uses the stories from previous titles as a base, and builds upon them. This is why tons of people can accurately predict what is going to happen in the story YEARS before those things actually come to fruition. The game as a whole is a love letter to the franchise. On your opinion regarding EW, it isn't really unpopular. Tons of people didn't really like it as much, and I get them. EW has a very specific message it wants to deliver, and sadly, said message is only meaningful to the people who are going through "it", or have gone through it. To me, EW isn't only my favorite expansion, but one of my favorite gaming experiences period, the things I felt while playing through it genuinely helped me push through some difficult stuff that was going on in my life.
@Stefan L I definitely agree with ur opinion on EW. Spoilers ahead for people who haven't played: There were moments that it really shined - Garlemald, radz-at-han, and "The Walk" were all very well crafted, and hit their mark remarkably well. The storytelling was on point, as ever. But it has flaws; Dynamis (the force on which the entire expac was designed around) felt shoehorned in while ignoring past lore, Hydaelyn's character was made into a idiotic, defeatist maniac, and the pacing of the story at about the 60-90% mark (in particular, Labyrinthos) felt like absolute dogwater. Also they added _ENTROPY_ to a world in which people can time travel with no consequences. The expansion is not without its' merit though, as I mentioned before; its' flaws were just too large to ignore. As an aside, they also made SAM unfun to play, which sucks.
he tried to returns many times but i think he just cant stand this slow ass gameplay i played a lot of XIV myself but damn the gameplay feels so garbage compared to LA or wow
@AvengingFossil My theory is that a lot of people left WoW for FFXVI because of asmon, and now they feel betrayed or something and want him to come back for them not him. I'm not trying to be controversial like my first comment about stormblood, this is how I really feel. There's a level of tribalism that's tied into asmon returning to FF that's becoming a meme.
@@jw3807 He mentioned several times that he's out of things he wants to do until he beats more of the story, and he doesn't want to beat the story unless he's streaming it on his main channel.
Guys just remember, even if Asmon comes back to FF14, he does hour long warm ups on stream. So best to watch it when it comes to youtube if you don't wanna wait XD
This comment right here is the reason he stopped playing it. Content complainers made it unfun because they just wanted to tune in for the thing they came there for, instead of enjoying Asmon as a streamer
I was bored with games and decided to try FFXIV after ignoring it for years cause I was tired of the memes people kept spamming for people to join… 5 months later and I’m almost done with Endwalker, and I haven’t played any other game since that faithful day 😂. I feel like I’m in middle school playing RuneScape again. Love it here ❤
@@Nightwalk444 I leveled all crafting and gathering professions to 50 (except fishing, and I haven't done the quests for them) and all available classes to 50. Currently, I'm getting all DPS classes to 60 while going through the story and doing all dungeons/trials available (including extremes), and the only one left is dragoon. This game has a crazy amount of content, I've been dipping into a little bit of everything 🤣
@@hardlyhome314 I highly doubt he charges. He seems to just watch the videos his stream requests. Have you seen his house and clothes? The dude doesn't seem to give two shits about money even tho he's a multi millionaire
I didn't do the Coils of Bahamut until I was in like... Shadowbringers, for some reason. And MY GOD. I cried my lil heart out during that CGI scene. In fact, I'm glad I waited, because I spammed through ARR and probably wouldn't have cared as much about the characters and the world if I'd done it when I was a fresh little sprout. FFXIV has literally eased me out of a deep depression. The story is just so well done, in the way that it can be interpreted in so many different ways, ways that are most meaningful to the player.
I hope someday Zack returns to FFXIV. He was just entering the worst part of Stormblood (all of the Ruby Sea sucks balls), but from about Kugane Castle onward it just gets better and better all the way through Endwalker. And there's so much "endgame" content I'd love to see him do with the FAMILY.
Tbh, I think it starts looking up when you get to Yanxia and especially the Azim Steppe. The worst part to me is the introductory bit in Ala Mhigo. But I'll agree that even though Stormblood starts slow and there are some pretty weak aspects of it, it has a lot of really great stuff in it, too. I don't agree with people that say its story is bad while the others are good. It's definitely the least consistently good of the expansions, story-wise, though. I feel like combat content was a different story back when it was current, but people don't experience that in the same way anymore.
Honestly this was me with FFXI. Never got into WoW as much as Asmon, and while I enjoyed playing FFXIV, it just felt lacking something for me. It was cool that it encouraged taking breaks, but sometimes I wanted more to do and I didn't play any other games at the time. Eventually I lost all interest in playing 14 at all. Honestly I always kinda wanted a sense of adventure in the MMO I was playing, and while FFXIV's zones were pretty I didn't enjoy all the invisible walls. - so I decided to give FFXI a try. It may not have the best graphics, but FFXI is still an amazing game, and the grind is real, but for the real experience you have to join a classic server. Even leveling zones require party members. It's kinda like a more brutal WoW classic, and holds your hand less than any MMO I've played (no quest markers, minimap, etc) and you can get killed by a low level goblin or orc if you're not careful. Now It's hard to want to get into any other MMO tbh, it's become the only game I play now. It's helped considerably with my depression and inspired me to write stories.
They are not really trying to encourage having players do something that is mandatory. Theres tons of content though, and more coming. The last couple of patches i couldnt even keep up lol. But ofc its not for everyone, since it branches out in many direction as in side stories, crafting, raiding and alm that, so i can definitely understand if its not really the "right mmo" for some people, but perfect for me. i should try out the other FF you mentioned.
@@katy9291 very true, I guess for me FFXIV just became very instanced. Spend time at limsa crafting and waiting for dungeon queues with very little reason to explore the world again outside of gathering. It's a good game (great even) But I guess I get more attached to old school MMOs. EverQuest and FFXI (etc) have this sense of adventure that's hard to find in other MMOs, and I guess are more suited to a gamer like me. There are many gamers where 14 is literally perfection but it never hit every note for me. I still have fond memories of the game though
I have met up with friends from ffxiv irl, just went to a con with one. I have built real friendships and that will keep me here even if I have burnout. Can’t rival that.
I love that Asmon took the time to watch and commentate on a small creator's channel. Means a lot that he's willing to give time and share his platform with us smaller creators. I watched Iiriiko's video just the other day as well not knowing Asmon reacted to it and loved the video. I found his video's concept and his story was very similar to the one in my video essay for my journey into FFXIV. I really do love the community around this game, so much love and positivity.
I have been playing FFXIV for 8 years, I have seen the good parts of the community and the scummy parts of the community, I have RP'ed and Savage raided I have fought on the markets and maxed the beast tribes. At the end of the day I enjoy helping new players start thier journey and helping them navigate the world that is Eorzea. I still get the excited butterflies in my stomach every time a live letter hits and I get to see the game change even a little. It's a wonderful game with a loving dev team and I hope it is around for many more years.
@@masterpain7742 Were they even talking about it being better than WoW? They were just gushing about a game they love. Why would you feel like this is an appropriate response to their comment?
@@masterpain7742 You didn't even ask a question. Also, the statement you made had nothing to do with what they wrote. It's obvious flamebait, tbh. Ironically, L T *did* ask you a question, and you didn't respond.
@@masterpain7742 "Doest make it better then wow or ever will" That's what you wrote. "Doest" looks like "doesn't" to me. If that's the question you meant to ask, I don't think you conveyed it in a way that most people are gonna understand. The way you wrote it, it looks more like you were saying, "Doesn't make it better than WoW, and it won't ever be," although, in fairness, I had to try to translate it to arrive at that interpretation. Either way, in answer to your question, I personally prefer it at this point, but I still have a lot of love for WoW too.
I grew up with Final Fantasy starting with 9, but I started losing faith in the series when FF13 and 15 were released. Now I did enjoy 15 for what is was, but I had the thought that Square Enix was releasing broken and unfinished games (FF14 1.0 and 15 on release). I gave FF14 a try when my boss told me about the free trial and the devs restored my faith in the series. I'm looking forward to some more FF14, and 16! :D
I main FFXIV, but I tried out GW2 a few months back. I didn't get super far, but I discovered that the community has been (so far) lovely. I was trying to get to a lookout point for viewpoint thing, and I couldn't figure out how to get up, so a veteran player passing by carried me up on his turtle mount! Very nice and helpful and gave me tons of tips and advice! So, if I find time, I hope to return to GW2. :)
I was too honestly. My adult son kept trying to get me to play (thinking I’d enjoy my evenings more in FFXIV than scrolling Facebook) and I resisted for a year, having been on a game hiatus for 6 years. Started in 2021 and have played nearly every day since.
Actually, once you get past Heavenward you would understand why there's a 2.5s GCD. There is alot of weaving skills inbetween and the combat is really fluid. The mechanics and quality of the fights also skyrockets in quality.
Not all jobs have a ton of weaving, honestly even after a year of playing, it still makes the combat slow and at times clunky (inconsistent double weaving etc). This is even more true in PvP. So unless you’re a dragoon or samurai to some extend, I still don’t see much point in it. You also don’t have that many oGCDs at 60, hell not even at 70, starts mostly at 80 and beyond.
I would agree that weaving isnt too big at 60 or 70, but Im pretty sure all jobs have weaving especially 60 onwards. Tanks and heals are no exception to this as generally you would be ogcd weaving heals/buffs/mitigation inbetween gcds. Inconsistent double weaving is a factor of ping as well and some jobs that rely on double weaving to be optimized will suffer greatly from high ping. Take gunbreaker or machinist. I think that while there might not be that many ogcds to play with (pre 80), its the relationship between shuffling rotations with mechanics that gives ffxiv a fluid feeling of combat. I think its supposed to not be many to not overwhelm players as mechanics are plentiful and varied in dungeons and trials. Pvp has a lower gcd cd (approx 1.5 sec) and ogcd cd are low too so you dont even want to be double weaving in the first place in that case. Thats just my opinion on it though
@@IRedpunk Eh, not true. It's more like if you don't want WoW players to stay. A lot of players are more casual, and having a fuckton of buttons with lower GCDs can be intimidating to those players. The way they do it is a way ease in non-sweaties. I personally prefer 1s GCDs, but spell weaving while dancing around the stage is enjoyable as well. The biggest criticism to the combat system, though, is the weird delay they have in place. The devs explained why the game has it, but I don't remember why. Just makes it feel unresponsive, but used to it, I guess.
If you are honestly serious about ever getting necromancer, i highly suggest you go all the way through several times in a group or at least have a group have your back while practicing pulls and soloing certain enemies, as some take good line of sight abuse for you to down, as well as being coolheaded enough to have a mimic pop on you and be fast enough to react on your own.... so TLDR: go with a safety net 1st then ditch it when you feel ready, helps your learning curve of that place.
17:40 You technically should see more. The problem is that there is an army of Lalafel bots glitched below the plaza floor as part of some RMT scheme. The game only renders a set amount of characters at the same time (you can change how many in the settings), but the glitched army takes up all of the spots.
Only half of players in FF14 has completed the MSQ. People find fun things to do along the way and just go do that. They can go back the MSQ whenever they want, there is no rush. It never changes or becomes irrelevant. Old expansions remain relevant because they are all part of the MSQ.
In another vein I’m finding it harder and harder to go back to games that aren’t FFXIV I began playing in 2019 off of a wicked burnout from warframe at the suggestion of a friend Got to 35 on the free trial (back when that’s as far as it went) and bought the game in a heartbeat Never looked back, never doubted my choice for a second Even welcomed my sister and my dad into the game to play through it all together, recently did my first ultimate with her to boot
FFXIV is the first MMO to grab me in a while. I started in the lat 90's with Everquest (I miss those days) slid over over to Anarchy Online (more than a few FFXIV player stuff reminds me of GSP parties back then, glad to see they are still a thing in AO). Then did EVE for a few years. I spent about 15 years doing almost no computer gaming other than MMOs. 2015 I was feeling bored, and got Skyrim (don't get me wrong, I played ES games from Arena to Morrowind, which was around the time I got in EQ). Skyrim got me playing solo games for the first time in a long time. I kept trying MMO's, tryed going back to ones I loved, tried new ones, (even tried WOW a couple times, just blah). Then just over a year ago, a friend asked me to run FFXIV MSQ with her on her stream. I've been blown away. Not just the awesome story, but like Pint says "There is so much to do and have fun in this game with!" And it is, it's fun, 99% of the people are great, and the dev's for the most part seem to care about the game, even after all these years it's been live.
I am blown away, I thought FFXIV is just gonna be another boring MMO that will gatekeep me cause I play Free Trial version. In fact I cleared A Realm Reborn Msq, going into Heavensward, I have over 300hours in game and I am not bored at all.
15:15 i wish someone could tell him directly: It feels like its not instant because when u weave 3 or more ogcds inbetween 1 gcd u do it wrong and ur next gcd will go off later then it should. What you want to do is double weave (2 ogcd inbetween 1 gcd) not tripple or more weave :d At least i think thats what he means for me its fine EXCEPT the immunity and sprint abilities those do feel delayed. Its definetly very different from WoW i played both games for thousands of hours so i would know :d
i would change the server ticks in ff14 so it cast instantly and feel smooth like new games and the other one is to steal the guild wars 2 transmog&dye system and various QOL UI systems that really needs
1. Thanks for taking a chance on watching a small content creator and giving them some visibility. 2. I'm so glad you tried FFXIV and hopefully will play again soon. I only play occasionally but I find it's the best MMO out there, with Guild Wars 2 as a close second. 3. Maybe someday try Guild Wars 2? I think you'll like the combat system.
3:15 Because you are mainly a WOW player, when you stop it you know the game will always be there, its different for other peoples that leave smaller mmo that they invested a lot of time in knowing its dying. And when you stop smaller games you know that your main game is still there
On one hand, quitting a game feels like a meme. On the other hand, I suspect certain games have such strong FOMO mechanics that if you took a break from end game for a month or two, you may as well just quit until the next expansion. Chuckled out loud at Asmon's playful sarcasm on having fun in a game before max level, but even I gotta admit playing a game for 2½ years and still having too much fun to bother unlocking additional content is impressive.
FFXIV literally stopped me from offing myself 9-10 years ago. It literally just takes you out of reality for a little bit and sometimes that's all you need to keep it moving.
I was that player that took forever to get to 90, I was mostly chillin in the Gold Saucer with some in game friends doing the gates with them or people watching in the quicksands. Was mostly taking my time with the msq though since I'm really into story driven games.
One thing you don't understand about the combat asmon, is that it is animation locked. You won't see the damage pop up until you visually see the action damaging the enemy. I like it, seeing instant numbers would make it feel way less impactful
In FF you can press a button maybe half a second early when in cd and it will trigger once off cd. It doesn’t feel snappy like in WoW for example. I like the combat but that is definitely an issue imo.
The last time I logged into vindictus I saw a character wearing an outfit that had their nipples on full display, which made me question what exactly changed in the last time that I played lol
Every time I hear him mention his Necromancer title attempts, I just want to shout, "EVERYONE told you not to try it (yet), and you went and did it anyway!"
I love that Asmon watches so many different channels. Thanks to him i found Josh Strife Hays and the Russian Wizard once known for Lost Ark Divium Furvor. Keep doing what youre doing, which hopefully does involve playing FFXIV 😎 .
for mmo, i quit when i dont log in the next day i play mmo to run field/world boss with strangers and raid dungeons with friends but one day, one of them doesnt log in and suddenly everyone gone
Black desert online is one game I go back to.....just because the combat system is so damn good and I don't know any other MMO that has similar action mechanics. Even though the pay to win and their honing system is terrible.
Same. Been taking my time soaking in the experience and surprisingly ended up feeling really immersed by end of arr. Man, unlocking flying for the first time with mounds of content to tackle at your own leisure feels so good
@@fade9973 He didn't say it wasn't good, he said it was slow. Obviously the combat is slower when you don't even have half the kit lol Also a weird defence to take in reference to WoW vs FF. Input's might happen faster but the combat itself is completely fucking mindless in WoW until you're high level
I have been finding more and more players on FF14 lately that have quit WoW. I am also one of them. the community in FF is just... unique , and yes, alive... very much alive
Asmon picking out the "best cutscenes" in ff14 but he hasn't even made it past stormblood😅 I'm glad he already has favourites but let's reserve judgement for the endgame
Sometimes I want to login to BDO and see how things are going. I'm mostly okay with the hidden sub fee of basically needing to buy a Value Pack but it was expensive for the small amount of content at the time. There are raids now? Might need to check those out... Besides BDO, FFXIV and Eve are really the only MMOs I can tolerate.
These people treat simply not playing a particular game like coming off a hard drug. Don't forget the next video where they will have counted the days. "Playing XYZ game again after x time" 😂
If Asmon returns to FFXIV, he needs to have a strategy for dealing with these false flagged FFXIV andy's that are actually WoW andy's impersonating FFXIV andy's and nagging him and being obnoxious viewers.
@@Sneedmeister yeah, he should make a list with special rules for the stream just for FFXIV and their toxic community 😂 and have extra mods to ban everyone who breaks the rules. Would be quite funny actually.
3:02 b/c normal people have jobs and can only give afford 4-5 hours have game time and that's if somebody is cooking and cleaning the place up and that's a big if.
Take the WoW transmog and eat it -.- I dont want it... I want my glam plates. Yes, the mount is from the store, but I think it was from an Easter event years ago... Not sure, though. I thought, MCH was more like a glass canon in PotD... while RDM has a proper self heal... Ah well...
It's definitely harder to quit an mmo especially when you have brain dead friends and guildies who can't stop playing the shit mmo that you don't enjoy anymore, and they keep asking you to come back, or that they miss you. I know it's just a game but people i feel bad for. They get addicted to p2w games and it's sad.
I really wish more people went and tried BDO again. The game has added so many systems and methods to get guranteed upgrades and straight up BiS gear. Its not the insane rng fest it used to be in a lot of ways. And as for the pay 2 win, if you got 10g's or more sitting around sure you can sell or cron enough outfits to get everything to pen but that literally takes so much so much money and they constantly give you free materials resources etc. Its just a shame that is engrained its rep like this but is a very good game. They have added a good amount of story content, shifting to fully voiced stuff, adding to the lore, making systems easy to engage with. Giving us a normalized gear arena for ranks, capped siege modes so you don't have to be super duper geared same for node wars. Is the game perfect oh hell no, but its not this rng fest i see alot of people describe it as anymore. Can you do the rng stuff sure but you don't have to, these days the game encourages you really not to.
What cracks me up is you will spend tons of money on pay to win games, but scoff at the shop mount. Bro…you have money obviously. The way I see it I work for things I like. I have bought all the mounts and don’t care what people think. I work to get things.
It's a shame I can't really enjoy this mmorpg, I've tried it three times already but the static gameplay of tab targetting and the lack of an action camera mode really doesn't let me like the game
Think he likes the systems and a lot of things in game, but I don't think the game is for him. I doubt he will actually play it in.. I'll give it two years and maybe he'll try it again.
I gave FF14 a try and enjoyed it. However, I canceled my sub after a month because the UI is absolutely hideous. Hopefully eventually they revamp it and make it look modern.
I believe the time Asmondgold will start playing ffxiv is when he ran out of content, it’s like his last resort. It is because he KNOWS once he starts playing again, there is gonna be another boom in views.
i will reamin firm the dark souls deffculty stops at orinstain and smo then all thats left is gwyn once you get to anorlondo the game jsut stops till gwyn
Does anyone remember ff 11? Oh man, dying to level 1 bunnies and losing levels was great. I then saw wow at my friends house. Im like yeah I fucked up, and ive been wowing ever since.
Ff11 had people toxic if you caused a wipe. There goes a bunch of your XP plus you gotta run back on foot and XP can only be gained by mindlessly killing mobs. Nearly killed a whm when he fell asleep mid pull.
I quit Tower of fantasy, the game didnt give enought time to farm for lin banner, i log in last night and puff she is gonne now there is a banner of a generic sword girl on it now, im angry so i decide to quit.
I've wanted to be interested in playing FF 14..downloaded the demo and leveled up most of the way. The world just felt so small to me, hate the map, and wasn't a fan of the combat. Does seem to have a good community, and wanted to love it..though as a WoW veteran w/ subscription playing probably 4 hours a week on classic, I have continued to jump around from game to game in recent years. There just isn't a clear answer, and love to get deals on steam and try different games without any passion for one. Also comes down to growing up and your friends quitting, work and priorities. Hope one day the same passion this guy has I get back.
I recommend giving GW2 a try. Its very different MMO, and the world is detailed and feels alive. The game also has very good longevity on gear, as in, the max level has been 80 for 10 years and gear goes horizontal instead of vertical.
@@puddi_Cat I'll give it a shot. Downloaded it last year and played a little bit..but didn't give it a fair shot. I redownload FF14 after this (demo), but just can't force it
The combat is pretty fuckin shit at low levels but at about 60 it improves, then as you get on further and further the job feels more complete and now at 90 I feel like it's hectic managing resources oGCDs etc. Just slow as hell at first and I mained dragoon to start which really doesn't improve to maybe 70 ish.
I can't relate to enjoying the story, I'm currently playing ARR and so far it's the most generic boring dogshit story ever, I recently started skipping everything because it's just unbearable for me. But I've been told 300 times to keep playing and ignoring the base game and rush for the expansions, where the story and the game in general is supposed to get x100 times better. I really hope that's true and I haven't wasted dozens of hours, I REALLY want to like this game as a FF fan.
@@hotsplayer2207 come on just chill a little brother im not in favor of scams either, all im sayin is having scammers/currency sellers on a mmo is a good measure on if its popular or actually dead
Ffxiv has helped me deal with depression and other problems . The community was so welcoming and I made manny great friends
Something about the music and the fun storyline is just so peaceful. 99% of the people on FFXIV are really nice to people even if the person isnt great and like to help the person out. Just a lot of fun over all
My journey through FFXIV from ARR to Endwalker was a goddamned magical experience. Without a doubt my most joyful and memorable experience as a gamer. 35+ years of memories and adventures in a franchise all coming together. The story is hands down some of the absolute best storytelling I have EVER experienced. The community is super friendly. The developers actually play their game AND give a shit about their playerbase. I'm not an emotional guy by any stretch of the imagination but this game reduced me to tears on several occasions. You care about the world, the characters, the heroes and villains, the music, the community . . . ALL of it is solid 10/10 all around. If you're a long time Final Fantasy fan like me than all of that explodes exponentially. I am genuinely sad that there are tons and tons of people who won't get to have the experience that I have had playing this game. Cheers and love to all who know exactly what I am describing.
I mean I think the game is fun to play, but there are still a ton of issues with it I almost wish they remade FF XIV into a new MMO on a new engine with a proper network infrastructure this time. In terms of story I think the best part is easily attributed to the localization god Koji Fox's work in translating the story from Japanese to English. Koji's work gets overlooked quite a bit and needed to give him credit here. I enjoyed SB and Shadowbringers stories but unfortunately, and I know this is unpopular, I can't say the same for Endwalker, although there were some cool moments. What do you mean by 35+ years of memories coming together? I don't understand what this has to do with the other final fantasies.
@@Malnaxe FF14 not only references other titles in the franchise, it takes elements and concepts from them as well. It has its own story, but it uses the stories from previous titles as a base, and builds upon them. This is why tons of people can accurately predict what is going to happen in the story YEARS before those things actually come to fruition. The game as a whole is a love letter to the franchise.
On your opinion regarding EW, it isn't really unpopular. Tons of people didn't really like it as much, and I get them. EW has a very specific message it wants to deliver, and sadly, said message is only meaningful to the people who are going through "it", or have gone through it. To me, EW isn't only my favorite expansion, but one of my favorite gaming experiences period, the things I felt while playing through it genuinely helped me push through some difficult stuff that was going on in my life.
@Stefan L I definitely agree with ur opinion on EW. Spoilers ahead for people who haven't played:
There were moments that it really shined - Garlemald, radz-at-han, and "The Walk" were all very well crafted, and hit their mark remarkably well. The storytelling was on point, as ever.
But it has flaws; Dynamis (the force on which the entire expac was designed around) felt shoehorned in while ignoring past lore, Hydaelyn's character was made into a idiotic, defeatist maniac, and the pacing of the story at about the 60-90% mark (in particular, Labyrinthos) felt like absolute dogwater. Also they added _ENTROPY_ to a world in which people can time travel with no consequences.
The expansion is not without its' merit though, as I mentioned before; its' flaws were just too large to ignore.
As an aside, they also made SAM unfun to play, which sucks.
All this ffxiv content is hyping me up for Asmons return someday.
he tried to returns many times but i think he just cant stand this slow ass gameplay
i played a lot of XIV myself but damn the gameplay feels so garbage compared to LA or wow
Stormblood is excruciatingly long and weak imo, it's never gonna happen.
@@jelly9026 He wouldn't be a streamer if that was a reason for him quitting a game lol. There are haters whenever he plays literally anything
@AvengingFossil My theory is that a lot of people left WoW for FFXVI because of asmon, and now they feel betrayed or something and want him to come back for them not him. I'm not trying to be controversial like my first comment about stormblood, this is how I really feel. There's a level of tribalism that's tied into asmon returning to FF that's becoming a meme.
@@jw3807 He mentioned several times that he's out of things he wants to do until he beats more of the story, and he doesn't want to beat the story unless he's streaming it on his main channel.
I feel like this all the damn time at 35 years of age. But when I find something good. I'm sucked right back into the experience.
typical millennial mindset
Guys just remember, even if Asmon comes back to FF14, he does hour long warm ups on stream. So best to watch it when it comes to youtube if you don't wanna wait XD
7 to 8 hours talking and reacting to videos and Reddit. Then 2 hours playing ff14 maybe even less than 2 hours 😂
@@eugeneflores6153 true, thats why the best asmon streams are the ones on UA-cam.
I learned that the hard way when he "came back" to FF14 last time
This comment right here is the reason he stopped playing it.
Content complainers made it unfun because they just wanted to tune in for the thing they came there for, instead of enjoying Asmon as a streamer
His warm ups are fun though.
I was bored with games and decided to try FFXIV after ignoring it for years cause I was tired of the memes people kept spamming for people to join… 5 months later and I’m almost done with Endwalker, and I haven’t played any other game since that faithful day 😂. I feel like I’m in middle school playing RuneScape again. Love it here ❤
I've always avoided it too but after a several month hiatus from gaming (after a year of gw2) I'm considering trying it
I just reached 600 hours of playtime during my free trial, and I haven't even reached Heavensward. This game is awesome lol
How? I started the game 5 days ago and it took me 46 hours to beat ARR and the post-ARR quests + class quests for my character.
@@Nightwalk444 I leveled all crafting and gathering professions to 50 (except fishing, and I haven't done the quests for them) and all available classes to 50. Currently, I'm getting all DPS classes to 60 while going through the story and doing all dungeons/trials available (including extremes), and the only one left is dragoon.
This game has a crazy amount of content, I've been dipping into a little bit of everything 🤣
@@DeusKnight Makes sense, myself I'm planning to just power through to EW and then do other classes and crafting.
I truly respect how asmon is not too "up there" to shine light on smaller creators.
I wonder what asmon charges for his reactions?
@@hardlyhome314 I highly doubt he charges. He seems to just watch the videos his stream requests. Have you seen his house and clothes? The dude doesn't seem to give two shits about money even tho he's a multi millionaire
I didn't do the Coils of Bahamut until I was in like... Shadowbringers, for some reason. And MY GOD. I cried my lil heart out during that CGI scene. In fact, I'm glad I waited, because I spammed through ARR and probably wouldn't have cared as much about the characters and the world if I'd done it when I was a fresh little sprout.
FFXIV has literally eased me out of a deep depression. The story is just so well done, in the way that it can be interpreted in so many different ways, ways that are most meaningful to the player.
I hope someday Zack returns to FFXIV. He was just entering the worst part of Stormblood (all of the Ruby Sea sucks balls), but from about Kugane Castle onward it just gets better and better all the way through Endwalker. And there's so much "endgame" content I'd love to see him do with the FAMILY.
True. I got filtered by that part of the game years ago and only decided to push through due to the hype behind the Shadowbringers announcement.
Tbh, I think it starts looking up when you get to Yanxia and especially the Azim Steppe. The worst part to me is the introductory bit in Ala Mhigo. But I'll agree that even though Stormblood starts slow and there are some pretty weak aspects of it, it has a lot of really great stuff in it, too.
I don't agree with people that say its story is bad while the others are good. It's definitely the least consistently good of the expansions, story-wise, though. I feel like combat content was a different story back when it was current, but people don't experience that in the same way anymore.
Honestly this was me with FFXI. Never got into WoW as much as Asmon, and while I enjoyed playing FFXIV, it just felt lacking something for me. It was cool that it encouraged taking breaks, but sometimes I wanted more to do and I didn't play any other games at the time. Eventually I lost all interest in playing 14 at all. Honestly I always kinda wanted a sense of adventure in the MMO I was playing, and while FFXIV's zones were pretty I didn't enjoy all the invisible walls.
- so I decided to give FFXI a try. It may not have the best graphics, but FFXI is still an amazing game, and the grind is real, but for the real experience you have to join a classic server. Even leveling zones require party members. It's kinda like a more brutal WoW classic, and holds your hand less than any MMO I've played (no quest markers, minimap, etc) and you can get killed by a low level goblin or orc if you're not careful. Now It's hard to want to get into any other MMO tbh, it's become the only game I play now. It's helped considerably with my depression and inspired me to write stories.
They are not really trying to encourage having players do something that is mandatory. Theres tons of content though, and more coming. The last couple of patches i couldnt even keep up lol. But ofc its not for everyone, since it branches out in many direction as in side stories, crafting, raiding and alm that, so i can definitely understand if its not really the "right mmo" for some people, but perfect for me. i should try out the other FF you mentioned.
@@katy9291 very true, I guess for me FFXIV just became very instanced. Spend time at limsa crafting and waiting for dungeon queues with very little reason to explore the world again outside of gathering. It's a good game (great even) But I guess I get more attached to old school MMOs. EverQuest and FFXI (etc) have this sense of adventure that's hard to find in other MMOs, and I guess are more suited to a gamer like me. There are many gamers where 14 is literally perfection but it never hit every note for me. I still have fond memories of the game though
I have met up with friends from ffxiv irl, just went to a con with one. I have built real friendships and that will keep me here even if I have burnout. Can’t rival that.
When you have a subscription to an MMO, deciding to quit has more of an emotional impact. Lol, I’ve been there
Apathy killed more gameplay experiences for me much more than outrage. Maybe that's why I'm old.
I love that Asmon took the time to watch and commentate on a small creator's channel. Means a lot that he's willing to give time and share his platform with us smaller creators. I watched Iiriiko's video just the other day as well not knowing Asmon reacted to it and loved the video. I found his video's concept and his story was very similar to the one in my video essay for my journey into FFXIV.
I really do love the community around this game, so much love and positivity.
Cannot wait for Zach to come back and continue the story in ffxiv.
I have been playing FFXIV for 8 years, I have seen the good parts of the community and the scummy parts of the community, I have RP'ed and Savage raided I have fought on the markets and maxed the beast tribes. At the end of the day I enjoy helping new players start thier journey and helping them navigate the world that is Eorzea. I still get the excited butterflies in my stomach every time a live letter hits and I get to see the game change even a little. It's a wonderful game with a loving dev team and I hope it is around for many more years.
@@masterpain7742 Because you're of the opinion that WoW is a "better" game? How so?

@@masterpain7742 You didn't even ask a question. Also, the statement you made had nothing to do with what they wrote. It's obvious flamebait, tbh.
Ironically, L T *did* ask you a question, and you didn't respond.
@@masterpain7742 "Doest make it better then wow or ever will"
That's what you wrote. "Doest" looks like "doesn't" to me. If that's the question you meant to ask, I don't think you conveyed it in a way that most people are gonna understand. The way you wrote it, it looks more like you were saying, "Doesn't make it better than WoW, and it won't ever be," although, in fairness, I had to try to translate it to arrive at that interpretation.
Either way, in answer to your question, I personally prefer it at this point, but I still have a lot of love for WoW too.
I grew up with Final Fantasy starting with 9, but I started losing faith in the series when FF13 and 15 were released. Now I did enjoy 15 for what is was, but I had the thought that Square Enix was releasing broken and unfinished games (FF14 1.0 and 15 on release). I gave FF14 a try when my boss told me about the free trial and the devs restored my faith in the series. I'm looking forward to some more FF14, and 16! :D
@@hunger4wonder I have played some briefly. Hoping someday I will play through all of them on my channel. (:
I main FFXIV, but I tried out GW2 a few months back. I didn't get super far, but I discovered that the community has been (so far) lovely. I was trying to get to a lookout point for viewpoint thing, and I couldn't figure out how to get up, so a veteran player passing by carried me up on his turtle mount! Very nice and helpful and gave me tons of tips and advice! So, if I find time, I hope to return to GW2. :)
Guild Wars 2 is the best mmo out imo.
I was too honestly. My adult son kept trying to get me to play (thinking I’d enjoy my evenings more in FFXIV than scrolling Facebook) and I resisted for a year, having been on a game hiatus for 6 years. Started in 2021 and have played nearly every day since.
Actually, once you get past Heavenward you would understand why there's a 2.5s GCD. There is alot of weaving skills inbetween and the combat is really fluid. The mechanics and quality of the fights also skyrockets in quality.
Not all jobs have a ton of weaving, honestly even after a year of playing, it still makes the combat slow and at times clunky (inconsistent double weaving etc). This is even more true in PvP.
So unless you’re a dragoon or samurai to some extend, I still don’t see much point in it.
You also don’t have that many oGCDs at 60, hell not even at 70, starts mostly at 80 and beyond.
yeah anytime somebody says combat is slow i just know they never got passed like level 60 lol
I would agree that weaving isnt too big at 60 or 70, but Im pretty sure all jobs have weaving especially 60 onwards. Tanks and heals are no exception to this as generally you would be ogcd weaving heals/buffs/mitigation inbetween gcds. Inconsistent double weaving is a factor of ping as well and some jobs that rely on double weaving to be optimized will suffer greatly from high ping. Take gunbreaker or machinist.
I think that while there might not be that many ogcds to play with (pre 80), its the relationship between shuffling rotations with mechanics that gives ffxiv a fluid feeling of combat. I think its supposed to not be many to not overwhelm players as mechanics are plentiful and varied in dungeons and trials.
Pvp has a lower gcd cd (approx 1.5 sec) and ogcd cd are low too so you dont even want to be double weaving in the first place in that case. Thats just my opinion on it though
@@wstone2010 shouldn’t need to get past the first expansion to have a half decent gameplay. Unless you don’t want new player retention.
@@IRedpunk Eh, not true. It's more like if you don't want WoW players to stay. A lot of players are more casual, and having a fuckton of buttons with lower GCDs can be intimidating to those players. The way they do it is a way ease in non-sweaties. I personally prefer 1s GCDs, but spell weaving while dancing around the stage is enjoyable as well. The biggest criticism to the combat system, though, is the weird delay they have in place. The devs explained why the game has it, but I don't remember why. Just makes it feel unresponsive, but used to it, I guess.
If you are honestly serious about ever getting necromancer, i highly suggest you go all the way through several times in a group or at least have a group have your back while practicing pulls and soloing certain enemies, as some take good line of sight abuse for you to down, as well as being coolheaded enough to have a mimic pop on you and be fast enough to react on your own.... so TLDR: go with a safety net 1st then ditch it when you feel ready, helps your learning curve of that place.
17:40 You technically should see more. The problem is that there is an army of Lalafel bots glitched below the plaza floor as part of some RMT scheme. The game only renders a set amount of characters at the same time (you can change how many in the settings), but the glitched army takes up all of the spots.
Only half of players in FF14 has completed the MSQ. People find fun things to do along the way and just go do that. They can go back the MSQ whenever they want, there is no rush. It never changes or becomes irrelevant. Old expansions remain relevant because they are all part of the MSQ.
In another vein I’m finding it harder and harder to go back to games that aren’t FFXIV
I began playing in 2019 off of a wicked burnout from warframe at the suggestion of a friend
Got to 35 on the free trial (back when that’s as far as it went) and bought the game in a heartbeat
Never looked back, never doubted my choice for a second
Even welcomed my sister and my dad into the game to play through it all together, recently did my first ultimate with her to boot
FFXIV is the first MMO to grab me in a while. I started in the lat 90's with Everquest (I miss those days) slid over over to Anarchy Online (more than a few FFXIV player stuff reminds me of GSP parties back then, glad to see they are still a thing in AO). Then did EVE for a few years. I spent about 15 years doing almost no computer gaming other than MMOs. 2015 I was feeling bored, and got Skyrim (don't get me wrong, I played ES games from Arena to Morrowind, which was around the time I got in EQ). Skyrim got me playing solo games for the first time in a long time. I kept trying MMO's, tryed going back to ones I loved, tried new ones, (even tried WOW a couple times, just blah). Then just over a year ago, a friend asked me to run FFXIV MSQ with her on her stream. I've been blown away. Not just the awesome story, but like Pint says "There is so much to do and have fun in this game with!" And it is, it's fun, 99% of the people are great, and the dev's for the most part seem to care about the game, even after all these years it's been live.
I am blown away, I thought FFXIV is just gonna be another boring MMO that will gatekeep me cause I play Free Trial version.
In fact I cleared A Realm Reborn Msq, going into Heavensward, I have over 300hours in game and I am not bored at all.
15:15 i wish someone could tell him directly: It feels like its not instant because when u weave 3 or more ogcds inbetween 1 gcd u do it wrong and ur next gcd will go off later then it should. What you want to do is double weave (2 ogcd inbetween 1 gcd) not tripple or more weave :d At least i think thats what he means for me its fine EXCEPT the immunity and sprint abilities those do feel delayed. Its definetly very different from WoW i played both games for thousands of hours so i would know :d
What is the volume extension asmon's using? Looks good
i would change the server ticks in ff14 so it cast instantly and feel smooth like new games and the other one is to steal the guild wars 2 transmog&dye system and various QOL UI systems that really needs
1. Thanks for taking a chance on watching a small content creator and giving them some visibility. 2. I'm so glad you tried FFXIV and hopefully will play again soon. I only play occasionally but I find it's the best MMO out there, with Guild Wars 2 as a close second. 3. Maybe someday try Guild Wars 2? I think you'll like the combat system.
3:15 Because you are mainly a WOW player, when you stop it you know the game will always be there, its different for other peoples that leave smaller mmo that they invested a lot of time in knowing its dying.
And when you stop smaller games you know that your main game is still there
On one hand, quitting a game feels like a meme. On the other hand, I suspect certain games have such strong FOMO mechanics that if you took a break from end game for a month or two, you may as well just quit until the next expansion.
Chuckled out loud at Asmon's playful sarcasm on having fun in a game before max level, but even I gotta admit playing a game for 2½ years and still having too much fun to bother unlocking additional content is impressive.
FFXIV literally stopped me from offing myself 9-10 years ago. It literally just takes you out of reality for a little bit and sometimes that's all you need to keep it moving.
Watching sprouts are really enjoyable and so warm, unlike some of toxic raiders
I was that player that took forever to get to 90, I was mostly chillin in the Gold Saucer with some in game friends doing the gates with them or people watching in the quicksands. Was mostly taking my time with the msq though since I'm really into story driven games.
VINDICTUUUUSSSS was also my adolecense, played that shit for 7 years xd
played at least 10k hours maybe more
2 months ago i started ffxiv and its my first mmo, best decision in my life
@@masterpain7742 …
One thing you don't understand about the combat asmon, is that it is animation locked. You won't see the damage pop up until you visually see the action damaging the enemy. I like it, seeing instant numbers would make it feel way less impactful
In FF you can press a button maybe half a second early when in cd and it will trigger once off cd. It doesn’t feel snappy like in WoW for example. I like the combat but that is definitely an issue imo.
Met my wife playing FF14, so it will always be special to me, obviously.
I think the reason people might be afraid of leaving a game because they might miss things or events in the game depends on the type of game though
Played Vindictus since the beta back in like 2011, I still go back to it every so often and I still regret it every time

Every time I hear him mention his Necromancer title attempts, I just want to shout, "EVERYONE told you not to try it (yet), and you went and did it anyway!"
Of course he did. Wouldn't be Asmongold if he didn't.
I love that Asmon watches so many different channels. Thanks to him i found Josh Strife Hays and the Russian Wizard once known for Lost Ark Divium Furvor. Keep doing what youre doing, which hopefully does involve playing FFXIV 😎 .
Platinumwow, Gorak's Guide and WowItsHard also got a massive increase thanks to him

If Asmon returns to FFXIV, he needs to have a strategy for dealing with these false flagged FFXIV andy's that are actually WoW andy's impersonating FFXIV andy's and nagging him and being obnoxious viewers.
the plan SHOULD be to ignore annoying people and play the damn game. but Asmon is incapable of ignoring his detractors

It's definitely harder to quit an mmo especially when you have brain dead friends and guildies who can't stop playing the shit mmo that you don't enjoy anymore, and they keep asking you to come back, or that they miss you. I know it's just a game but people i feel bad for. They get addicted to p2w games and it's sad.
I really wish more people went and tried BDO again. The game has added so many systems and methods to get guranteed upgrades and straight up BiS gear. Its not the insane rng fest it used to be in a lot of ways. And as for the pay 2 win, if you got 10g's or more sitting around sure you can sell or cron enough outfits to get everything to pen but that literally takes so much so much money and they constantly give you free materials resources etc. Its just a shame that is engrained its rep like this but is a very good game. They have added a good amount of story content, shifting to fully voiced stuff, adding to the lore, making systems easy to engage with. Giving us a normalized gear arena for ranks, capped siege modes so you don't have to be super duper geared same for node wars. Is the game perfect oh hell no, but its not this rng fest i see alot of people describe it as anymore. Can you do the rng stuff sure but you don't have to, these days the game encourages you really not to.
What cracks me up is you will spend tons of money on pay to win games, but scoff at the shop mount. Bro…you have money obviously. The way I see it I work for things I like. I have bought all the mounts and don’t care what people think. I work to get things.
It's a shame I can't really enjoy this mmorpg, I've tried it three times already but the static gameplay of tab targetting and the lack of an action camera mode really doesn't let me like the game

I've wanted to be interested in playing FF 14..downloaded the demo and leveled up most of the way. The world just felt so small to me, hate the map, and wasn't a fan of the combat. Does seem to have a good community, and wanted to love it..though as a WoW veteran w/ subscription playing probably 4 hours a week on classic, I have continued to jump around from game to game in recent years. There just isn't a clear answer, and love to get deals on steam and try different games without any passion for one. Also comes down to growing up and your friends quitting, work and priorities. Hope one day the same passion this guy has I get back.
I recommend giving GW2 a try. Its very different MMO, and the world is detailed and feels alive.
The game also has very good longevity on gear, as in, the max level has been 80 for 10 years and gear goes horizontal instead of vertical.
