As a Mod user, it sucks big time that Mods in FFXIV are shown, on the front page of the largest archive, are largely NSFW. So many mods and plugins out there are genuinely fantastic, creative, and take a LOT of time to make. From armor mashups to the simpler things like a Fat Cat replacement for the Scholar Fairy's. I also wish some of the community was capable at laughing at the absurdity of the stuff they do. Roleplaying is mashing little dolls together for stories and whatnot. It's fine to feel embarrassed, but people should also learn to laugh at themselves a little.
ohh this, i see some very fetishising mods every day, but the super useful stuff that helps me and is just some gear upscale...yeah that the people dont really see that often. But yeah they need to laugh a little. I use mods too and gpose my favorites using my mods, but i live with the cringe
I agree with you on this, the only thing I want to look for is clothing mods that looks nice, the last thing I want to see is a pose of someone taking it from a horse
“Blacklisting shoutrunners means they can’t run dungeons with you”. They’re most likely not even running dungeons + you can still have these people in your party in duty finder, you just won’t be able to see their name, they’ll be named “Unknown 01”. So thankfully queue times won’t be affected anyway
Not to mention it only prevents them from joining your pf, it doesn't affect DF at all. Source: I was in a Frontline match with someone on my blacklist.

Bara community, right? At least some can take criticism and humor. I'm in the bara community, too, and I just can't get behind the degen behavior that I see from other members. People use these mods to sexually harass others when they aren't looking. I've had friends catch people forcing gpose on them after they're done with a cutscene only to then FIND their character being sexualized on Twitter. It's horrible. If people love and respect this game, they should in turn respect the other players and the devs wishes. 'nough said.

@@TheSzellin ""ai"" (llms) use a lot of power for little to no substantial purpose. this is naturally bad for the environment, as we're already in too deep as it is.
@@TheSzellin Many 'AI' programs these days, such as generative things for images, videos, voice etc, alongside text-based programs like ChatGPT, have a very high electricity and water (for cooling) running cost. As such, not only are they expensive to run (and increasing electricity demand, thus amount generated in response, thus emissions from non-clean electricity generation methods), but the water usage is concerning as we *do* have a limited amount of water we can drink and/or use on this planet, even if it's an incredibly large amount.
“They’re just trying to earn a little gil” Okay, they can run dailies and sell stuff on the marketboard. It’s more fun for them and less annoying for us. I’ve made over 1.5 million gil in from random marketboard sales in the last day, it’s really not hard
Many players don't actually enjoy doing dailies. People enjoy different things. I can tell you for a fact that many venue workers (even in the SFW scene) make more gil for far less work and no rng, and get to vibe with their friends in the process. Personally, I'm not a fan of shout ads. PF is enough. However, I also wouldn't get bent out of shape over it. filter lists have eliminated 90% of them for me. The few I do see are those intentionally trying to bypass filters, which is seen as desperate and bad by the vast majority even within the venue scene.
There's so many ways to earn gil in game. I just let my retainers gather shit and I sell that if I'm gonna be lazy. Not gonna earn me millions but it's enough to get by with little effort. If I need more I just craft. Shrimple as that to afford like one expensive ass glamour
Cerberus mod enjoyer here. Been at the FFXIV venues at the start of their rise to look for some in-game friends, and been a part of a club venue as a barman for awhile. The amount of total nutjobs, perverted freaks and overmodded atrocities was insane back then, and I've heard it increased now. Makes me think most sane people just use capital cities for chatting and avoid being in these places for good now.
I'd argue, especially as someone who does modding. Every single one of these people need to be shamed and far more bluntly again. They have gotten WAY to comfortable being nuisances to literally everyone else.
Agreed, absolutely. MMORPGS are public spaces! Keep that hypersexual culture in private. There are so many ways normalizing this can just make everything more toxic.
@@bummedmachinist7483 As someone who has experience with both modding and the venue scene (I actually help run one of the more successful SWF clubs), I agree wholeheartedly. I have nothing against ERP. Hell, I've even dabbled in the past in a few games, FF being one. But making it a whole personality? Advertising it in public spaces? Thats' gross af.
if people dont want youtubers 'infiltrating' their venues, they shouldnt be advertising them. FFXIV is not an erp hub, its not 'normal' if you want that, go to Second Life. You can make venues in that, them spam chat as much as you want. I dont care what people do on their time, but venues advertising courtesans/prostitution, need not be on ffxiv.
the game is literally stating to have unrated interactions though lol plus the lore states their is prostitution an even shows instances of such ingame lmao i dont know why people think final fantasy is just this "pure lands" of mmo's or rpg genre its really not XD
@@DeusGamez alot of games lore has pros/other degen acts in it. That does NOT mean the players need to rp as such. Prostitution is illegal, for one, its ToS for another. It has 'unrated interactions' because you literally cant rate player x player interactions. ERP is inevitable in any online space, sure. FFXIV, however, is the only mmo ive been in where prostitution runs rampant and is PUBLICALLY ADVERTISED.
This absolute brainlets that promote their erp clubs we're talking about is just shameless degenerate that just turning the game into weird dating site
@@DeusGamezno one is denying that but when you scream in scout chat about how you are hosting an orgy in your house on a public server. I don't think that's apart of the lore.
It is really interesting to me how these people get so lost in the sauce that, whenever there is a big update, and they see their vanilla character, they are so unrecognizable to them that they refuse to play the game, because they lack both the imagination and the willpower to actually play the character they bought the game to play. Anyway, great vids man, let the twitter mob keep crying
@benjimaxbobjohn And i agree, however, counterpoint: a hrothgar player refused to play the game when major update happened. It left me puzzled "well, by the face and markings your character looks vanilla enough, what's the problem?" Checks profile @ 40ft tall and 4.5 ton of weight. It also doesn't help that main hroth modder is a drama can of it's own. Also, again. My point is not "mods bad". My point is that people who can't play without mods and hate their character for it, are absolutely insane.
Oh boy, I can not WAIT for you to roast the NA venues. And if you ever need a break, I happen to know a good ethically-produced venue you could check out [so not a shameless plug for my FC’s venue, lol]
I've been playing XIV for a few years now, and a bit after I started playing I got roped into the venue scene in the NA data center. The whole shebang:, mods, eventual ERP, etc. I really enjoyed that time mostly because it gave me people to talk to and hang out with sometimes, which was what I was looking for at that point of me playing. But the more I looked around, the more I saw the unending drama and really wierd beliefs some of the folks in the scene had, so I started to drift away from it. Now, I only work at a single venue as a simple greeter with an owner that I know pretty well who does their best to keep drama out, so it's been a real breath of fresh air. You're doing a really good thing by showing what goes on in some of these venues and the wierd things that they do. Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to your NA video! P.S. I'm also a bi guy, and seeing some of those people's reaction to your video is the funniest thing I've seen for a while. The whole thing stunk of entitlement and anger of being caught when they're practically showing it to the whole world and putting out public invites. Some things are meant to stay private, and they forget that.
There's no soul behind those doofy eyes, although tbf I'd probably have the same blank expression too after the horrors I've witnessed with the previous video...
I just watched all of your FFXIV videos and I enjoyed them so much. I couldn't stop laughing and you actually taught me numerous things about THAT side of the game and community; I didn't expect the whole RP side to be like VR Chat or something, it's kinda scary. Also, I really like your voice! It's so nice and I didn't really need the subtitles to understand everything! Thank you so much for those videos, they were very entertaining 🤍
Problem with the shout spams apart from being a dick move is that this isn't an 18+ game and i doubt they verify people before going into clubs. Also they're screaming that you're hurting their community while giving out invites. It's funny as fuck
Some insight on actual RP in clubs: It's usually at the bar, and about 70% of people do it through DMs rather than in say chat. Trying to RP in public chat in most venues is a frustrating task for most. Chat can move very fast. Also, finding good ink in the modding scene is a Herculean task... unless you know an actual *good* tattoo artist. There are a few who make mods, but they aren't free (personally I don't like paid modding, but thats another topic). So you'll mostly see people using the crappy free ones.
While I do disagree (while agreeing) with some of the points you've made in your recent Videos regarding clubs and mods, that Barney segment made me smile all the way though xD That must be one of the biggest plot twists this year
I'm glad you made a follow-up vid of the last one like you did with the other vids. As a ""big"" Gposer in the XIV community, I found all your vids about XIV very funny even the modded ones! The fact you guys were new aswell to the modding scene made it even more hilarious! I kinda wanna see what you gonna cook next!
Roleplayer here. I'm so sorry that you have to deepthroat the hornet's nest of the absolute worst our RP community has to offer (Americans) Keep laughing at modbeasts, keep laughing at nightclub imvu "RPers". Everyone, and I mean everyone, including RPers, hate and blacklist nightclub "RPers". There are actual RP venues, as you acknowledge throughout your videos: not a single one of us is threatened or offended, we're laughing with you, lmao, I regularly link your video to my RP FC and we laugh at modbeasts also 'you give me homophobia vibes' lmao no one sane thinks that god's peak plan and it's oohboy I *do* agree to not show modder's in game names, just in case. On that note, you have balls of steel to show yours, I doubt you'll get banned, but generally, yeah. Even though you're not banned the extent of the harassment these people are capable of is kind of unreal. I'd say 'you have no idea how unhinged these people are' but... you know exactly how unhinged they are.
all good points though i dont think his streaming character is his actual main account though its probably a fake one he likely knows how serious this is taken by the game's staff an wouldn't be that ballzy to risk it all for just a stupid video lol he genuinely seems like someone who has invested alot into ffxiv don't think he'd throw it all away just for a laugh most streamers don't usually do this kinda stuff on their main account. (an if they do well sucks to be them i guess lol they doxxed themself so they can't complain when they get reported for it lol)
Hell, I'm IN the nightclub venue scene (though ours is firmly against courts and we strictly do not allow ERP among staff) and I'm definitely a modbeast, yet I fully agree with what you've said. A lot of us watch this channel and laugh along with it. Those offended by these videos have either no sense of humor, or are lashing out due to embarrassment. This is honestly one of the greatest channels to produce FFXIV content.
It happened years ago, but I archived a Lalafell kindergarten event when I started. When I looked at the screenshots later I was like "Wait! I know these guys!"
Video was hilarious. They ones criticizing you had either spent so long in their echo chambers they had no idea how unhinged they looked, or were self-aware enough to know and didn't like someone "outside" pointing it out. If I ever go back to XIV (quit after finishing 6.0's MSQ), I'm staying far, far away from anyone huddled together in Limsa. Edit: Oh god, you're going to NA. Best of luck, bring a hazmat suit. And remember: we can't have nice things because of what people in Balmung will do with them.
I honestly have alot more respect for you after both this video and the actual modbeast video, actually cracking down on all the ERP Venue Spammers and showing what actually happens takes guts and you clearly can take what they dish back.
I feel if they advertise on public chats it's fair game, if they were found on private avenues then they wouldn't be. If you advertise then people will show up, right?
The way i see it is mods are fine and all hell even NSFW are fine if kept in private. But any that go into the nsfw territory should not be advertised about esspecially in Limsa saying its a "Breed (18+) venue. This is a Teen rated game not a A rated game you cannot physically keep track of people and get everyone's IDs before letting them into that venue meaning alot of kids can and will see that kind of stuff.
8:05 i dont think that's how bl works the only times you cannot play with a blsted person is if you create your own pf otherwise you can still see and end up in a duty with a blacklisted person, they just wont be able to interact with you that's all
My friend was genuinely laughed at by you two in the previous video, you even zoomed in, when i pointed it out to he also just laughed at it. I wish people realized this is a video game not real life
In the mod beast video, one of the people you ran into was a friend of mine, and now in this video, one of the people who said they're usually chilling in a voice channel is also one of my friends XD. Either I am too social, or Eorzea is too small.
I saw the videos and I didn't have any moral judgement about anyone seen therein. I actually thought it was pretty cool what modders have managed to make.
Modders get caught modding and are shocked that people can judge them for the weird shit they do. Lord sound the bells, it's like actions have consequences that you have to deal with 😂
Honestly XIV erp modders need this kinda content 😭 im a modder myself and even make my own mods, but oh my god i love going around phantom or visiting balmungs goonbench to see those monsters and post screenshots of them to my friends OH YEAH DEF GO TO BALMUNG GOONBENCH BWAHAHAHA
You make me laugh, funny man. I'm usually really repelled by cringey stuff, but this type just makes me sincerely snort like your aunt after three glasses of wine and you've shown her a funny meme involving cats.
I'd forgotten you were at our hour long wall of dogs waiting for our friend to finish Endwalker! Thank you for taking part and for including us in the video :)
Also as a bi furry myself, I don't think you came off as homophobic, maybe a little bit kinkshamy at worst but that's also a bit of stretch. I'm a console player so I have no horse in this race, I just see the pics across social media
@@bristlebum2422I'm a console player, too, but mods are about as detrimental even to us. I play mRoegadyn, and I can never feel entirely comfortable around other mRoes and mHroths because chances are, they'll have mods that just change the base model clientside. And people can use this to sexually harass other players when they aren't looking through afk or cutscene, and post their characters on Twitter with them. I can only enjoy the more revealing in-game glamours when I know I'm not gonna run into either of the two player races because otherwise, I feel like I'm having someone breathe down my neck.
I am myself into clubs personally, and by watching how people react to your vid is crazy for me, I really had good laugh at your vid. Maybe diffrence is between me and others is that I'm going there to be atleast little creative ("Working" as gposer there)
some thoughts throughout the video: - what's the point of being a sex freak (and as long as it's not hurting anyone, who cares) if you're gonna be upset at people acknowledging you're a sex freak. - i do mod, i don't do any of the ERP stuff, but there's nothing wrong with it - just don't be shocked that people who aren't into it might take a look if you're very openly advertising it. - if you've got people with big dick mods and puppy play masks hanging out at your club, and you're not advertising your club as an ERP venue, that's really questionable at best. - modding IS against TOS. sure, squenix so far mostly turns a blind eye, but if you don't want people to show you modding, don't go to a public, advertised venue and openly be modding. that's so unbelievably basic i don't get how people don't realise that. anyway, i loved the video. i don't get why people take modding so seriously, especially in ffxiv.
they can't blanket ban random people without sufficient evidence, it is against ToS but unless you're actively chatting about it ingame or streaming like this video here lol then they can't just look at someone being shown on a video such as this and claim that they are a "modder" unless that specific person is advertising it. its the streamer in this case who will get punished with a long suspension or outright ban and not the people being displayed randomly an probably without their own knowledge.
You know what i love about those videos 😂 Its to see how ridiculous people look, when they get cought in doing something they know they are not allowed to 😂 Keep up the great work ❤

Not disagreeing, actually completely agree, but what do you mean by energy requirements?
@@TheSzellin ""ai"" (llms) use a lot of power for little to no substantial purpose. this is naturally bad for the environment, as we're already in too deep as it is.
@@TheSzellin Many 'AI' programs these days, such as generative things for images, videos, voice etc, alongside text-based programs like ChatGPT, have a very high electricity and water (for cooling) running cost.
As such, not only are they expensive to run (and increasing electricity demand, thus amount generated in response, thus emissions from non-clean electricity generation methods), but the water usage is concerning as we *do* have a limited amount of water we can drink and/or use on this planet, even if it's an incredibly large amount.
Yeah, the systems that power these "AI" systems use power hog GPUs, same deal as with cryptominers but with a different focus.
Can't believe there's lore in funny blooper videos now
“They’re just trying to earn a little gil”
Okay, they can run dailies and sell stuff on the marketboard. It’s more fun for them and less annoying for us. I’ve made over 1.5 million gil in from random marketboard sales in the last day, it’s really not hard
Many players don't actually enjoy doing dailies. People enjoy different things.
I can tell you for a fact that many venue workers (even in the SFW scene) make more gil for far less work and no rng, and get to vibe with their friends in the process.
Personally, I'm not a fan of shout ads. PF is enough. However, I also wouldn't get bent out of shape over it. filter lists have eliminated 90% of them for me. The few I do see are those intentionally trying to bypass filters, which is seen as desperate and bad by the vast majority even within the venue scene.
@@WGSXFrank calling someone annoying for doing an annoying thing isn't "getting bent out of shape"
There's so many ways to earn gil in game. I just let my retainers gather shit and I sell that if I'm gonna be lazy. Not gonna earn me millions but it's enough to get by with little effort. If I need more I just craft. Shrimple as that to afford like one expensive ass glamour
Cerberus mod enjoyer here. Been at the FFXIV venues at the start of their rise to look for some in-game friends, and been a part of a club venue as a barman for awhile. The amount of total nutjobs, perverted freaks and overmodded atrocities was insane back then, and I've heard it increased now. Makes me think most sane people just use capital cities for chatting and avoid being in these places for good now.
I'd argue, especially as someone who does modding. Every single one of these people need to be shamed and far more bluntly again. They have gotten WAY to comfortable being nuisances to literally everyone else.
Agreed, absolutely. MMORPGS are public spaces! Keep that hypersexual culture in private. There are so many ways normalizing this can just make everything more toxic.
@@bummedmachinist7483 As someone who has experience with both modding and the venue scene (I actually help run one of the more successful SWF clubs), I agree wholeheartedly.
I have nothing against ERP. Hell, I've even dabbled in the past in a few games, FF being one. But making it a whole personality? Advertising it in public spaces? Thats' gross af.
Seriously the slow head turn and popping your ingame name/server/dc after they said ''people would get him'' had me dying from laughter.
if people dont want youtubers 'infiltrating' their venues, they shouldnt be advertising them. FFXIV is not an erp hub, its not 'normal' if you want that, go to Second Life. You can make venues in that, them spam chat as much as you want. I dont care what people do on their time, but venues advertising courtesans/prostitution, need not be on ffxiv.
the game is literally stating to have unrated interactions though lol plus the lore states their is prostitution an even shows instances of such ingame lmao
i dont know why people think final fantasy is just this "pure lands" of mmo's or rpg genre its really not XD
@@DeusGamez alot of games lore has pros/other degen acts in it. That does NOT mean the players need to rp as such. Prostitution is illegal, for one, its ToS for another. It has 'unrated interactions' because you literally cant rate player x player interactions. ERP is inevitable in any online space, sure. FFXIV, however, is the only mmo ive been in where prostitution runs rampant and is PUBLICALLY ADVERTISED.
This absolute brainlets that promote their erp clubs we're talking about is just shameless degenerate that just turning the game into weird dating site
@@DeusGamezno one is denying that but when you scream in scout chat about how you are hosting an orgy in your house on a public server. I don't think that's apart of the lore.
It is really interesting to me how these people get so lost in the sauce that, whenever there is a big update, and they see their vanilla character, they are so unrecognizable to them that they refuse to play the game, because they lack both the imagination and the willpower to actually play the character they bought the game to play.
Anyway, great vids man, let the twitter mob keep crying
to be fair some "vanilla+" mods are nice to have because it took 5 years for hrothgar to actually get the windcaller hairstyle
@benjimaxbobjohn And i agree, however, counterpoint: a hrothgar player refused to play the game when major update happened.
It left me puzzled "well, by the face and markings your character looks vanilla enough, what's the problem?"
Checks profile
@
40ft tall and 4.5 ton of weight.
It also doesn't help that main hroth modder is a drama can of it's own.
Also, again. My point is not "mods bad". My point is that people who can't play without mods and hate their character for it, are absolutely insane.
Oh boy, I can not WAIT for you to roast the NA venues. And if you ever need a break, I happen to know a good ethically-produced venue you could check out [so not a shameless plug for my FC’s venue, lol]
I've been playing XIV for a few years now, and a bit after I started playing I got roped into the venue scene in the NA data center. The whole shebang:, mods, eventual ERP, etc. I really enjoyed that time mostly because it gave me people to talk to and hang out with sometimes, which was what I was looking for at that point of me playing. But the more I looked around, the more I saw the unending drama and really wierd beliefs some of the folks in the scene had, so I started to drift away from it. Now, I only work at a single venue as a simple greeter with an owner that I know pretty well who does their best to keep drama out, so it's been a real breath of fresh air. You're doing a really good thing by showing what goes on in some of these venues and the wierd things that they do. Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to your NA video!
P.S. I'm also a bi guy, and seeing some of those people's reaction to your video is the funniest thing I've seen for a while. The whole thing stunk of entitlement and anger of being caught when they're practically showing it to the whole world and putting out public invites. Some things are meant to stay private, and they forget that.
Incredible! Great to see our wall of dogs in a video! Thanks for helping us draw more peopel too! (Blonde Viera sat 2 away from you!)
I read this before finishing the video so I thought you meant a wall of bara dog muzzle bounded muscle daddy/pup curries or something
dude this video is a masterpiece and your comments are golden lmao
Finally, the OBCU, the oohboy cinematic universe.
G'raha Tia smirking right next to the THUMBNAIL PIC. That sent me 😭
You really are the best xiv content creator, love you so much man you get all my support
The outro had me screaming,BARNY FUCKIN BEEKEEPER DUDE epic ,you trully are a gem Anchovy ,made my day
>when we go bully the North American ERPers
If you thought it was bad in EU, oh boy.
2:54 so you're telling me we can end venue attendence by recording them?
Mr Krabs... I have an idea...
This channel is incredibly based, I'm a fan
There's no soul behind those doofy eyes, although tbf I'd probably have the same blank expression too after the horrors I've witnessed with the previous video...
this is the content i need to decompress after grinding ranked, please keep blessing us with this based content
barny jumpscare absolute cinema
I just watched all of your FFXIV videos and I enjoyed them so much. I couldn't stop laughing and you actually taught me numerous things about THAT side of the game and community; I didn't expect the whole RP side to be like VR Chat or something, it's kinda scary.
Also, I really like your voice! It's so nice and I didn't really need the subtitles to understand everything!
Thank you so much for those videos, they were very entertaining 🤍
the anchovy man looks like he's sitting where that tv show host from Joker (2016) sat. i need a mentally ill loner to be added to this scene
Problem with the shout spams apart from being a dick move is that this isn't an 18+ game and i doubt they verify people before going into clubs.
Also they're screaming that you're hurting their community while giving out invites. It's funny as fuck
This is possibly the most based FFXIV video ever, holy moly moly man it's just good take after good take, NEVER stop doing what you're doing.
Some insight on actual RP in clubs:
It's usually at the bar, and about 70% of people do it through DMs rather than in say chat. Trying to RP in public chat in most venues is a frustrating task for most. Chat can move very fast.
Also, finding good ink in the modding scene is a Herculean task... unless you know an actual *good* tattoo artist. There are a few who make mods, but they aren't free (personally I don't like paid modding, but thats another topic). So you'll mostly see people using the crappy free ones.
While I do disagree (while agreeing) with some of the points you've made in your recent Videos regarding clubs and mods, that Barney segment made me smile all the way though xD
That must be one of the biggest plot twists this year
"Some of you couldnt jump if you wanted to"
God, i freakin love you 😂😂
Can't wait to see wild anchovy in NA server, Welcome to The HELL ZONE!
"get bent.... like this guy in this video" has me fucking DEAD, this is golden
this is so funny keep going with this content its the best ffxiv stuff ive seen
also not the poor little gays coming at u and doing what they can best - blame everyone and say theyre homo/lgbtqphobic XD
I'm glad you made a follow-up vid of the last one like you did with the other vids. As a ""big"" Gposer in the XIV community, I found all your vids about XIV very funny even the modded ones! The fact you guys were new aswell to the modding scene made it even more hilarious! I kinda wanna see what you gonna cook next!
Roleplayer here. I'm so sorry that you have to deepthroat the hornet's nest of the absolute worst our RP community has to offer (Americans)
Keep laughing at modbeasts, keep laughing at nightclub imvu "RPers". Everyone, and I mean everyone, including RPers, hate and blacklist nightclub "RPers". There are actual RP venues, as you acknowledge throughout your videos: not a single one of us is threatened or offended, we're laughing with you, lmao, I regularly link your video to my RP FC and we laugh at modbeasts
also 'you give me homophobia vibes' lmao no one sane thinks that
god's peak plan and it's oohboy
I *do* agree to not show modder's in game names, just in case. On that note, you have balls of steel to show yours, I doubt you'll get banned, but generally, yeah. Even though you're not banned the extent of the harassment these people are capable of is kind of unreal. I'd say 'you have no idea how unhinged these people are' but... you know exactly how unhinged they are.
all good points though i dont think his streaming character is his actual main account though its probably a fake one he likely knows how serious this is taken by the game's staff an wouldn't be that ballzy to risk it all for just a stupid video lol he genuinely seems like someone who has invested alot into ffxiv don't think he'd throw it all away just for a laugh most streamers don't usually do this kinda stuff on their main account. (an if they do well sucks to be them i guess lol they doxxed themself so they can't complain when they get reported for it lol)
@@DeusGamez
Hell, I'm IN the nightclub venue scene (though ours is firmly against courts and we strictly do not allow ERP among staff) and I'm definitely a modbeast, yet I fully agree with what you've said.
A lot of us watch this channel and laugh along with it. Those offended by these videos have either no sense of humor, or are lashing out due to embarrassment. This is honestly one of the greatest channels to produce FFXIV content.
The mild tone of disappointment in“Wait this isn’t porn” at 3:38 had me chuckle 😂
thanks this was the perfect background noise for removing the melted plastic off my hot dish
I too am someone who uses mods, I've rewatched your videos multiple times, they're a lot of fun to watch :)!
"Louis Theroux" he'd make a living making shit based on ffxiv furries and thats coming from a ffxiv player and a furry
The work you put into this video is amazing and it really shows. Bravo!
It happened years ago, but I archived a Lalafell kindergarten event when I started.
When I looked at the screenshots later I was like "Wait! I know these guys!"
Video was hilarious. They ones criticizing you had either spent so long in their echo chambers they had no idea how unhinged they looked, or were self-aware enough to know and didn't like someone "outside" pointing it out.
If I ever go back to XIV (quit after finishing 6.0's MSQ), I'm staying far, far away from anyone huddled together in Limsa.
Edit: Oh god, you're going to NA. Best of luck, bring a hazmat suit. And remember: we can't have nice things because of what people in Balmung will do with them.
Always wondered what these clubs were. Now i know it's a bunch of desperados emoting dances at each other. This is so funny. Keep being awesome!
Babe wake up, Oohboy just posted
I effing love you hahahah Thanks for this video xDD
SUBBED!
thank you for being a gigachad for using maplestory ost
The never ending cycle continues. Thank you for your service oohboy
I honestly have alot more respect for you after both this video and the actual modbeast video, actually cracking down on all the ERP Venue Spammers and showing what actually happens takes guts and you clearly can take what they dish back.
Came for the afterparty
Stayed for the extended universe 🤣
My guy..you are the best xD pls keeping making these videos bro lmfao its hilarious
God these people are so terminally online it's sad.
The "ora ora" comic is a "3-koma", Japanese style humor
The Barny cameo was unexpected on an oohboy video. Don't eat the sand.
Called the Barny arc on the last video. Good luck in the high-editing endeavour.
I feel if they advertise on public chats it's fair game, if they were found on private avenues then they wouldn't be. If you advertise then people will show up, right?
sick outro, i love you my man
The way i see it is mods are fine and all hell even NSFW are fine if kept in private. But any that go into the nsfw territory should not be advertised about esspecially in Limsa saying its a "Breed (18+) venue. This is a Teen rated game not a A rated game you cannot physically keep track of people and get everyone's IDs before letting them into that venue meaning alot of kids can and will see that kind of stuff.
Running across beef between adults about virtual sex on a video game was not what I was expecting today but hey drama is drama and I am here for it
honestly the last 2 videos were comedy gold
glad to see barny exists in all universes.
8:05 i dont think that's how bl works
the only times you cannot play with a blsted person is if you create your own pf
otherwise you can still see and end up in a duty with a blacklisted person, they just wont be able to interact with you that's all
My friend was genuinely laughed at by you two in the previous video, you even zoomed in, when i pointed it out to he also just laughed at it. I wish people realized this is a video game not real life
Whiteboi sounds like the good twin of Lovecraft’s cat.
In the mod beast video, one of the people you ran into was a friend of mine, and now in this video, one of the people who said they're usually chilling in a voice channel is also one of my friends XD. Either I am too social, or Eorzea is too small.
I saw the videos and I didn't have any moral judgement about anyone seen therein. I actually thought it was pretty cool what modders have managed to make.
Only mod I’ve ever used just gave midlanders elf ears like Hilda
As someome who runs an actual rp venue from time to time, and has modded my character (I want more modest dresses), i found the video funny
Love the vids man, keep up the good work 😊
amezing great job yet again never stop making those i would love to see more and the weird side of it 😂😂its the best
Modders get caught modding and are shocked that people can judge them for the weird shit they do. Lord sound the bells, it's like actions have consequences that you have to deal with 😂
Honestly XIV erp modders need this kinda content 😭 im a modder myself and even make my own mods, but oh my god i love going around phantom or visiting balmungs goonbench to see those monsters and post screenshots of them to my friends
OH YEAH DEF GO TO BALMUNG GOONBENCH BWAHAHAHA
You make me laugh, funny man. I'm usually really repelled by cringey stuff, but this type just makes me sincerely snort like your aunt after three glasses of wine and you've shown her a funny meme involving cats.
I'd forgotten you were at our hour long wall of dogs waiting for our friend to finish Endwalker! Thank you for taking part and for including us in the video :)
Uh oh, you kicked the extra dramatic hornet nest here! Twitter furs and the modding community lol
Also as a bi furry myself, I don't think you came off as homophobic, maybe a little bit kinkshamy at worst but that's also a bit of stretch.
I'm a console player so I have no horse in this race, I just see the pics across social media
@@bristlebum2422I'm a console player, too, but mods are about as detrimental even to us. I play mRoegadyn, and I can never feel entirely comfortable around other mRoes and mHroths because chances are, they'll have mods that just change the base model clientside. And people can use this to sexually harass other players when they aren't looking through afk or cutscene, and post their characters on Twitter with them. I can only enjoy the more revealing in-game glamours when I know I'm not gonna run into either of the two player races because otherwise, I feel like I'm having someone breathe down my neck.
I am myself into clubs personally, and by watching how people react to your vid is crazy for me, I really had good laugh at your vid.
Maybe diffrence is between me and others is that I'm going there to be atleast little creative ("Working" as gposer there)
some thoughts throughout the video:
- what's the point of being a sex freak (and as long as it's not hurting anyone, who cares) if you're gonna be upset at people acknowledging you're a sex freak.
- i do mod, i don't do any of the ERP stuff, but there's nothing wrong with it - just don't be shocked that people who aren't into it might take a look if you're very openly advertising it.
- if you've got people with big dick mods and puppy play masks hanging out at your club, and you're not advertising your club as an ERP venue, that's really questionable at best.
- modding IS against TOS. sure, squenix so far mostly turns a blind eye, but if you don't want people to show you modding, don't go to a public, advertised venue and openly be modding. that's so unbelievably basic i don't get how people don't realise that.
anyway, i loved the video. i don't get why people take modding so seriously, especially in ffxiv.
they can't blanket ban random people without sufficient evidence, it is against ToS but unless you're actively chatting about it ingame or streaming like this video here lol then they can't just look at someone being shown on a video such as this and claim that they are a "modder" unless that specific person is advertising it.
its the streamer in this case who will get punished with a long suspension or outright ban and not the people being displayed randomly an probably without their own knowledge.
bring back shame
"have fun guarding the snape grass spawn" holy shit lmao
i love how barney is just a canon npc nowadays on youtube. I love it.
That outro straight up gives me dothack vibes.
You know what i love about those videos 😂
Its to see how ridiculous people look, when they get cought in doing something they know they are not allowed to 😂
Keep up the great work ❤
The dog line was my FC waiting for my friend, im the BUFF MOOG!
Amazing video quality as usual!
