yeah, XIV's doing great, Asmongold wasnt the thing that made it great, it had many reasons to be great.īut Asmongold undeniably made it greater.Īs for its weaknesses? Sure, XIV has a few, I can rip into alot, the 1-50 experience is slow, but definatley better since 5.3, the content combat is slower than wow and wont feel as epic at first but the reward of the challenge defo makes up for it. Im pretty hyped for Endwalker for this fact alone, this should likely be a wakeup call to Squeenix to put more money into XIV's development over certain "other" projects that didnt do as well *eyes a certain marvel MMO* and likely means they'll see the XIV budget increase, which means more content because more development and development equipment/resources. People will buy, sub, and play the game long term. Literally you could just start seeing people make Machinema of XIV next and it'd skyrocket its popularity even more, passive entertainment leads to curiousity, leads to trying the game, and in some cases, not all, but some. This isnt just some random chance, its truth, influence, popularity, its very much what defines an MMO, look back at WoW's machinema days, Illegal Danish, the Grind, the Machinema that came from WoW really did help rise its popularity just from showing the games visual potential. The opinion of one guy literally caused the servers to run out of space overnight, and yes, that was his influence, 200K people watched him at the same time during peak on his first run and over 1 million people viewed over the day alone.ġ million people, watched a guy play XIV. I legitimatley believe weirdly enough this only prooves influencers actually do have the power to turn the tide of an MMO.

The World of Warcraft community has also expressed concern that Asmongold won't be returning to the game that initially made him famous on Twitch - and it seems Asmongold himself isn't too worried about returning at the moment.We cant deny, while XIV is an amazing game, what has undeniably boosted its popularity, is the streamers.Īnd while one might say XIV wasnt really affected by Asmongold, it was just people bored of WoW or other MMO's, theres no denying his opinion being positive towards the game helped sway people that were indecisive to give the game a try. This only further solidified Asmongold's success in Final Fantasy, both in-game and on Twitch.Īsmongold has a lot more of Final Fantasy to explore so the community shouldn't expect him to be leaving anytime soon. While his party eventually finished the dungeon, it made for quite the entertaining stream. "Are you fucking kidding me!?" Asmongold exclaimed on stream. Asmongold and his party got it down to 0.1% when things took a turn for the worse.ĭespite the extremely low health, Kalyia survived. The dungeon had a boss, Kalyia, that his party was seeming to breeze through. A plan was put in place to "run" Asmongold and his fans out of the community.Īsmongold recently did a run-through of The Final Coil of Bahamut after reaching level 50.

But the Final Fantasy community has expressed concern with the sudden increase in players and viewers, with some outspoken members explaining that they don't want Asmongold's "toxic" viewers to infiltrate the previously small Final Fantasy community.ĭespite Asmongold's initial Final Fantasy XIV stream being "one of the best" he's had, a small Final Fantasy streamer stated at the time that Asmongold's "hatred and rudeness" is not welcomed.

This time Asmongold is digging deep into Final Fantasy XIV despite a public outcry from the game's community.Īsmongold started streaming Final Fantasy at the beginning of July, skyrocketing the game's popularity. Asmongold is best known for his World of Warcraft escapades but the streamer has recently been trying out new MMOs.
