Outside of of a small but loud minority, ff14 players don't really care if you skip. However, they do care if you skip everything and then start talking trash about the story. And I believe that's fair 😆
Aby reasonable player will never hold it against you for skipping cutscenes in ARR, it can be a slog at times. However if you start skipping in Heavensward? Your excuse better be that you didn't know HW is where it matters if you skip.
Yeah it's mostly annoying if people skip 90% of the content and then try to claim they gave the game a fair shot. Like nah, try again liar.
That's why I prefer if Asmongold play it without the need to stream. All that pressure by playing a new game gonna ruin anybody's fun.
I have met quite a few, particularly among the story/lore fans, who will joke about it but it is usually pretty tongue in cheek. It is just you sometimes get people who take the game WAY too seriously. My biggest annoyance is when someone who skips finds out I am a lore fan and wants me to sumarise the entire story from the start of ARR through to the end of HW for them. I mean seriously? Summarise probably at least 100 hours of story in a few minutes in a way that would make the current plot more understandable?
Honestly you can skip most of ARR's slow ass story and still understand everything *ESPECIALLY* the 1.x stuff . I used to watch the cutscenes but skipped the random dialogues
But from heavensward onward most of it is good (except maybe some parts in Stormblood). And if you skip then, and don't start getting invested in the story you'll probably not have the motivation to go through all of the extensions
for the people who don't get what the carbuncle gpose means :
Third party tools let you swap an entity for another one, but you actually still need one to be there to replace it (and for some reason pets don't work for it).
So a carbuncle or fairy are typically the go-to when you wanna take a screenshot with another character or NPC.
so it have seen and did "things"
I did not know this, now it’s even more terrifying.
Thank you for the horrific imagery I may now sleep crying.
Said third-party tool also lets you do poses you can't do in the game, meaning that the range of "things" you can do is almost infinite, provided you also have the right amount of entities for what you wanted to make. For example... you can have a Carbuncle become Y'shtola and make her do said "things" with either you, or anyone/thing else, and maybe add, I don't know... the Ultima Weapon in the background?
At least, it doesn't just apply to NSFW. Besides the "things", you can do some cool shit using this tool, like replicating scenes from your favorite movies, shows or video games. Wish I was skilled with it or had the patience to learn it, would've done way cooler Gpose screenshots of my clears.
@@TorManiak "Right ammount"
@@humorm4152 is it a correction or just an emphasis? If it's the latter... yeah, I didn't realize what I said, lol. It's still a fact, but I didn't have to be precise about it lol.
@@ebarobyre2720 no it's not wholesome though! People use that for some pretty lewd mods and poses, unfortunately!
Zack reminiscing about ff14 experience sparks joy. That lb3 heal was amazing in that extreme you guys did.
I remember telling the community that brought me in about that moment and they were very meh like yeah it happens all the time. Okay cool… guess I’ll be quiet then
@@ExceedProduction they mostly didn’t like asmon or me much for that matter because they knew I wasn’t quitting WoW forever. I assume that’s why. They were typically more encouraging
@@BottledDelusion they're a loud minority, the majority of ffxiv players come and go between patches and don't care if others do it since its designed that way.
He talks so fondly of his FFXIV days 😂
Asmon has been putting off FFXIV for so long now, I just wish he played it again. I enjoy watching him go through the story.
I miss Asmon FFXIV lives
@@KrazzeeKane he should’ve just skipped the cut scenes
I wish he would just play it on Zack, he says its a "main stream game" but so is everything he plays and he just has a more relaxing time on Zack. People would show up just to watch him chill and play FF before or after he does his react content for youtube.
@@KrazzeeKane I think it's a shame because Preach disliked base Stormblood a lot as well, and post-Stormblood onwards does get great, with Shadowbringers having that dark edge that I honestly think would be way into Asmon's preferred style. Even I will admit there was at least one or 2 custcene I skipped in Stormblood because the pre-doma castle half drags so long.
Same, I hope he can return at some point on his own terms and just go do his own thing without people from all sides pressuring him to do shit their way
@@KrazzeeKane wym, he just doesn't want to play it... if he wants to play again, he'll play again lmao
Never played final fantasy but I had friends who played it, it's wholesome seeing people help others in a game.
If you cant be nice in the real world, be nice in FFXIV
No time to play or maybe you just didn't know the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime? Sign up, and enjoy Eorzea today!
I hope Asmon comes back to XIV soon, not because I need a big streamer to validate my MMO, but I love watching Asmon provide his unique perspective on things and knowing that's to come on his journey in Eorzea makes me really excited.
His Coils of Bahamut content was the best content Asmon has ever put out, and I've been with him since the WoD youtube guide days.
his Ironman challenge youtube was my personal favorite, but thats a close 2nd.
The amount of knowledge on lore he retains is ridiculous. He’s probably the only one that always recalls the actual lore of the copper bell mines
I disagree, Asmon's best content is his cooking videos.
Whether it's video games, court trials or other content, Asmond has great perspective and analysis.
Same I really wanna see him do endgame and savage and ultimate stuff
That bunboi is literally me. Everything irl is so frustrating and rage inducing but ff is my escape to relaxation.
I really hope Asmon goes back to FF14 one day
It is actually fun watching him go through the story
weeb fantasy
@@mikepower8999 Lol you're so out of touch.
@@ultrAslan50 Hates weebs, plays weeb game, becomes weeb kEKW.
@@mikepower8999 The setting is too vast to call it weeb at this point. Like lumping all of Asia with Japan.
@@d4s0n282 half the time people associate weeb with weeaboo which is the person to basically imitate japanese culture even when they weren't raised on it and those are the cringe ones
Pints video was great! I am a sprout and for the most part I have been focused on completing main quest story, however I did take a break to "socialize once." I beat titan and decided I wanted to try the more social aspect of the game so I went to Limsa Lominsa and started to pet EVERYTHING in sight. If I saw a companion I pet it, see a Lalafell pet them, and if I see an afk pet/poke them. I made a few friends doing this it was rather effective. I made friends with a Hrothgar who was telling me he has lost his pride as a warrior being pet by me. I also made friends with an Afk Hyur when I poked them while afk only for them to come back later and poke me.
If Asmon never plays FFXIV again, I'm still glad he did it. A lot of people wouldn't have given it a shot if not for him, though I will be sad. It would be like if someone stopped playing WoW just after Ahn Qiraj. Shadowbringers is the WotLK of FFXIV, and it would be a shame if Asmon never sees it. C'est la vie.🙂
wotlk is a dubble edged sword, it also the worst part of wow
Being inspired by asmon to play FFXIV was one of the best gaming-things to ever happen to me. I joined a guild full of some of the best gaming buddies I've ever made, made memories that will last me a lifetime, played one of the best stories on a video game I've ever played and definitely one that I was most emotionally invested in. Everybody should play that game, you're missing out. Big. Time. If you don't.
Nothing about FF will ever be WOTLK. That game is bad in the base principles.
@@user-gt7ux9iz7uwhich game
People still come to Cactaur looking for him.
The requirements for "sprout" apparently goes up with each expansion. I recently lost mine after completing Endwalker. I was waaaaay past the 300 hour mark, so that one is either gone or increased dramatically.
I lost mine sometime in HW, I took a 4 month break and it bloomed when I came back. Sometime in SB it reverted back to sprout, now I'm in ShB and it's still a sprout
I lost my sprout after finishing shadow bringers the other day and I know I’m no where near 300 hours
It's hard to explain how good it feels to know someone is looking at your character, and setting goals for themselves. Like "oh I need those shoulders. *Googles how* alright I need to go quest in XyZ area. Bet"
Yeah that's the feeling normal successful people have when they have a nice house or a nice car and other people look at them and set goals and say hey I want that.
Only since you are a peasant who doesnt have nice things, you don't know how that feels so you use a video game to emulate that feeling for yourself.
I fangirl whenever someone comments on my glam in game or when we're in dungeons. Cause I'm always looking at glams-- I've spent so much time researching glam items 😭😭😭
In regards to cutscene skippers, it doesn't really matter. It only gets annoying when people start asking questions about who's who or what's going on, and then I'm like, not my problem. OR when they skip everything and then say the game has a shit story.
Pint puts so much work into these videos, you can really tell. big respect
God I miss Asmon playing FFXIV, legendary streams for sure
weeb fantasy
I just want to see his reaction to Tesleen…
@@mikepower8999nice bait
Pint's editing is top notch! And the clever way he incorporated a sponsor so you watched it.
I really just want Asmon to experience the joy that is Shinryu EX. Honestly idgaf how he want to play the game I just want him to experience that with his crew.
HW Alliance raids for me. I enjoyed that small bit of story and i think the cutscenes will be good entertainment for stream.
I was playing wow last night and a new player in Boralus approached me and asked where he can get a flying mount. I told him to follow and took him to the SW trainer, then gave him a little gold to help him along with bags etc. Honestly, it was one of the most wholesome things I've experienced in wow in many years. If new players were flagged, I think a lot of people would happily go above and beyond to help them out and hopefully keep them playing.
>Every game needs proximity voice chat
My brain automatically played Leeroy Jenkins with the doppler effect
I love Pint's presentation style, is so charming. Oh and yes, don't skip cutscenes unless you've already seen them.
If only the game would let me skip cutscenes in msr...
If only the game was ever interesting enough to care about lore
I can't wait for asmon to meet emet selch
"I taught him how to ninja loot" lmfao
And you know, he was never more proud of someone than when they told him how they got the mount and everyone was so mad
16:47 looks like a Hyur Hempen Camise with Gunmetal Black dye.
I know this because... reasons.
This is a great video. I hope Asmon plays the story again, even if it's on his second channel.
28:39 its not a exclusive dark night set but the Pandaemonium Abyssos gear set for tanks looks cool
I've been watching Asmon for over a year before he started playing FFXIV. I actually didn't tune into streams or watch the highlight videos until I heard that the game sold out and decided to catch up. I started waking up early to tuned in to watch streams live from the beginning. It was probably the most joy I have had watching Asmon and I looked forward to every stream. I think my favorite moment was when Asmon stopped to listen to a bard playing Sea Shanty2. It was surreal watching a WoW player playing FFXIV listening to another player play Runescape music in game. It was so great. Now I have 2864 hours in FFXIV, I want Estinien to stab me. and I just want Alberic to be happy damnit.
man the sett theme is giving me goosebumps, i love it
Love the content Asmon, still hope to see you return to FFXIV cuz there is still a lot of great content for you to see, and more shenanigans with the roleplayers.
Yeah. Maybe early 2023 and when he comes back to his main channel, but i think he's gonna play WoW Dragonflight the whole end of the year. But after that i think he's gonna play FF14 again. So much amazing content and story there waiting for him it's crazy. And also people love to see that too!!
Meanwhile VRChat has countless nightclubs with tons of events every single day
I wish Asmon could play through Shadowbringers and Endwalker. It’s where XIV really shines!
I thought he was gonna say his favorite part was Nanaimo being poisoned
I’m hoping he comes back eventually really want to see him do the stormblodd extreme
So for sprouts to be lost its shadowbringers completed and 300 hrs. Or do a command to turn it off. Returning players who lost their sprout but haven't played in a while will get a flower for a bit
loved every fucking second of asmongold journey in ff14 i hope for more i just hope i wont die or ww3 coms before he comeback to the game i hope is soonner than later
Pint's editing is god tier
Pint scares me
"I feel like New World needs to do this..." -Asmon
Bro, New World ain't even got a boob slider or face options that DON'T look like they headbutted a belt grinder. Tame those expectations because the same people in charge of Rings of Power may be calling the shots on design direction for New World as a cost saving measure at this point.
Pints editing is sooooo sick it's just amazing. every damn video
The original video was already fun, but seeing Asmongold react to it makes it even funnier. I hope he will soon return to Eorzea. 😊
Asmon, you have no idea how much joy you brought back when you mentioned the scene where a crazy ass woman roundhouse kicked a Sylph. I too was laughing my ass off when it happened.
I'am paying someone 20Million now to decorate my house. 10Mil down pay, 6mill for additional, last 10Mil when done. yeah...
Hyperion, Mist Plot 36, 8th ward if you want to see it in progress xD
I got this game and gave it a chance because you were one of the streamers giving it a go and I still love and play it. So, thanks for giving ffxiv a try when you did mr. strummer.
Why is every FFXIV youtuber so funny?
Yea dude we have a lala theme'd club on Crystal called The Tiny Tower. It's amazing, and was built by an Interior Designer. Everything is lala size :)
Watching Pint play thru FFXIV has been lots of fun! It's lovely to see his thoughts on the game, just like when Asmon played it. :)
I swear the one voice this guy does sounds like Ralis Sedarys the dark elf from solstheim in Skyrim 😂😂
@9:58 fantastic heart to heart moment with the camera/audience..... 100% real
Bruh, Pint's voice has RANGE.
I found people in Final Fantasy online to just be overly nice and helpful I had a random guy farm with me for like 3 hrs for mounts after I said I was trying to get mounts off the boss
I had someone do the same when I was farming FATEs for a relic :3 we spent like 2hrs farming till I got the relic then they just went about their day lol. I honestly have only met maybe ... 2 ppl who were rude as hell in the game. And that's coming from a now healer main 😂 not too bad tbh lol
@@sailor_anna9924 I've straight up been in raids that wiped like 15times and no one got angry just a bunch of people that was giving tips and how to do certain mechanics that was a first for me no leavers or anything FF player's are just another breed of gamers
@@MrAnony07 yeah its crazy lol. This is my first mmo so honestly the bar is hella high now 😂
Same, my whole FC helped me with the mounts.
I wanna see Asmon go through the Hildibrand questline.
Always love to see Zach to be back and play ffxiv 😊

So many feels in the cutscenes
Damn so early the only comments are from that Johnny sins bot
Pints camera work is fucking epic
I very much enjoy Asmon's variety mmo gaming over the last year. Look forward to him experiencing Shadowbringers and Endwalker some day.
16:50 our boi asmongold has been missing out on the “night life”
If you give voice enable to only some people and make it super hidden you'll
A. Fragment communication
B. Alienate new players
C. It'd be super chaotic
“I have time for all these mmo’s” doesn’t play any of them.
Pint has one of the best edits. Its just another lvl
I actually had to explain to a raid group that i already watched Asmon do a part of Coils when i skipped the last few cutscenes.
I was a sprout of almost 3 years with close to 1000 hours because before I got to shadowbringers, endwalker came out and I then the sprout cap was raised obviously... and also... I finished most of the optional content from ARR, HW, SB and SHB before even tackling Endwalker... and I became an Omnicrafter... and stuff.
Pint goes from Elf voice to Orc voice in a flash.
Actually now that I think about it, Asmon's playing it smart. Other people who joined in 2021 played FFXIV constantly, and now some are taking breaks or burnt out for awhile.
If he intends to return, Asmon won't suffer that effect and can march on through Stormblood and maybe Shadowbringers. Then take another break for a bit, to enter Endwalker and the expansion that will have released by then. All while being able to maximize joy while minimizing burn
5:05 true. I get very giddy when a sprout asks about my glam.
Hopefully he comes back, but I understand why he hasn't yet. Say what you will but FFXIV players are... Passionate to say the least.
I sometimes forget Asmon exists as I don't care for the Zack streams, but then get a reminder when youtube bothers to recommend a video to me
Re the pint sprout: you gotta cross the threshold to the most recent expansion and complete 300hrs.
New Pint video means it's going tobe a great rest of year.
Jesus christ the edit was good. WOW!
Great! Now we just need the reaction to the UberDanger video! 👀😱
On the topic of kind of rushing through - skipping cutscenes and boosting - as someone that doesn't have much time to put into the game but really wanted to play through it with my friends who had a lot more I would skip cutscenes and even boosted about halfway through ARR to catch up to them. After I beat shadowbringers which was the most recent at that time - I went back when I had time and just found the cutscenes on youtube and story stuff to watch. Personally I would recommend playing for the story as the few times I had the luxury to do it it was a lot more fun, however I think skipping cutscenes and boosting is fine for people whoa re limited on time and want to play as much as they can.
The Mentor Program was abused in Elsword until it got removed.
You would camp at the sprout spawn point, where they come right after the introduction cutscene, and you will know they're sprouts by their level, as anyone (lv25+) can send a mentor application to that player, that is displayed in the middle of the screen, and since they don't know what it is, or why it doesn't go away, they eventually click ok, and from that point on, you merely have to wait for your three sprouts to reach level 10 to redeem your hard-earned reward for being first to right-click and invite into a senpai/kouhai relationship.
As opposed to ff14, I buy like 200 coffee biscuits just to hand out to lie levels
Sucks the free players can't trade
My friend was trying to get me into the game. And basically guided me to speed run it as fast as possible. So I was instructed to skip all the story being told it was just a basic story and doesn’t matter. And did no exploring through the game. Just main quests till I hit 68 then got bored of doin nothing but main quests
I was also told to be a black mage for my first class.
Does your friend hate you?
Same happened to me, but it was my brother, I was a Ninja and a White Mage, maxed both to end game within two months, lead randoms through the 5th coil of bahamut, and got bored. First and last mmo I've ever played.
thats the worse advice a friend could ever give you
I hope Asmon also reacts to Uber Danger starting his FFXIV journey soon.
Haha, I have been greenblood till level 90 and quite a bit after. It went away after I finished the MQ, but I did extrem content as sproud and that made all the struggle in the MQ a walk in a park
Well, glad he didn't meet me...
"You have to finish Endwalker?!"
No...
"You just have to finish Stormblood?!"
God, it's not hard. You lose your sprout when two conditions are met. Reach CURRENT expansion, don't have to beat it just get to it. Then X amount of hours of playtime.
/nastatus off
Enter that command to get rid of the sprout icon. Persists through logouts.
Also you can press and holt the ALT key then strike F4 to permanently remove it.
16:26 asmon trying to drove up viewer retention 😂😂
"I'm on it right now!"
i just skipped the exact cutscene he was showing yesterday
great memories. Hopefully Asmon continues someday.
One of newer tank sets from endwalker you look like a nasghoul so cool
12:05 indeed, starforge is apparently doing well in sales and theyve put phallic symbolism on the branding too!
gonna be honest i 100% agree with asmon. seeing a bard band in FF14 is absolutely some of the coolest shit ever, im never gonna forget working on odd jobs. i just unlocked ninjas full set. fast traveled to Limsa then all i hear is Imperial march followed by duel of the fates. ITS UNFORGETABLE
"What you are you from Crystal???"
Best insult ever.
lmao the bunny boy at the start looks exactly like mine and i use the same mog haha
The confusion over being a Sprout Reminds me that I have 1100 Hours in the game and I'm just now halfway through Stormblood's post story and I still have the sprout icon. Gotta love having level 90 classes before getting to Shadowbringers though xD
I have over 600 hours in the game currently. I was a sprout until I took a break that was longer than 45 days. I was in the process of completing the Stormblood MSQ. Once I returned, I was a "Returning Adventurer", for about a week. After a week, I was, and still am, a sprout again.
Pints editing is really top tier
You gotta finish Shadow bringers, mine went away only after that.
Just got my HW relic a few days ago
I don't play FF14 but i still watch every Pint video in my recommended. Pint da goat
you can stay a sprout if you focusing more on the class leveling than finishing the story first.
I just want to know what kinda team edits his videos, must be 500 man hours per video
You know, when I first started tentatively watching Asmongold's vid's, I didn't much care for them. Seemed a bit whiny and that no game was good (enough) for him. But I put my first impressions aside and began to see his wit & humor and he absolutely cracks me up. Well done Asmongold!
I'm still waiting to collect the first reacts from Asmon finishing FFXIV 🙂
