  1. Its a case for streaming in general, to be a successful streamer you need something about you worth watching. A competitive player may get by, get views because of their skill and people watching it because of. Or watching an otherwise boring streamer, it might be still fun to tune in for reactions to certain events. So watching someone react to highlights of the FF14 Storyline is interesting but outside of that they are not. But really you need to be interesting, I tune into Asmon because he's interesting whatever he is doing or playing. Its Asmon I'm tuning in for, the content is just bonus. That is not the case for all streamers . Not trying to be mean but there are others that stream that really its not so good, they'd be better suited for highlight videos, like a FF14 streamer I've been trying to watch named Chad. I started watching him for his MSQ reactions and those are great watching his reaction to major plot points in FF14 are amazing a lot of passion, but when I try to watch his streams in full, I just want to slit my wrists lol he can't hold his attention span to anything, he can't multi-task, if he's talking to chat he stops playing and bounces around aimlessly. He jumps up every few minutes to do something instead of doing it all at once to get it out of the way. (walk the dog, come back for 4 minutes, then go feed the cat, come back for a few minutes, then go grab something to eat) its infuriating. He'll have a 6-7 hour stream "dedicated" to MSQ and maybe 1 hours worth of MSQ actually done in it. Streaming isn't for everyone.

  2. WoW is in the same boat honestly. Only difference is that WoW was more popular for a long time, so has a bigger audience and bigger streamer pool. Competition breeds productivity, so naturally the WoW streamers that stand out from the rest are also more experienced streamers.
    I think WoW and WoW Classic/TBC should be separate categories. Would be interested to see how viewship is per category then.

  3. I started playing FFXIV 2 years ago and I couldn’t find any entertaining FFXIV streamers. I do like watching Ethys for his lore knowledge. But everyone else is trash. I’m hella glad these WoW streamers came over, they’re so much better.

  4. There's a reason why a lot of the people on twitch who used to stream WoW but don't anymore are still really popular. WoW was popular to stream because a lot of entertaining personalities played it that understand and cater to western culture.

    FF14 a game dominated by eastern culture and eastern playerbase is obviously not going to do so well on a platform dominated by western viewers, western players, and western culture.

  5. I actually agree. As much as I love FFXIV the game itself isn't that fun to watch imo especially if you don't play the game yourself. I've had this experience plenty of times trying to show friends of mine who don't play the game what the gameplay looks like every time they have no idea what's happening lol.

  6. Yeah this is how it is for every game. What a dumb thing for someone to say. I've seen lots of boring FF14 streams too but Preach and Zepla are both really entertaining.

  7. I don't think it is exactly the streamer being boring to watch, but more that the game has ALOT of single player story to it and most rather play the game and experience it themselves without any kind of spoilers so they will not watch the streamer regardless of how good they are and play the game themselves and once they gone through the whole MSQ stuff, they will turn in and watch the streamers play through it.

  8. Can't be more accurate. I never played wow but I watch asmon because he's entertaining. I love ffxiv, but 90% of the streamers don't know how to entertain their crowd so it's boring as hell to watch them

  9. My boyfriend literally leaves as soon as he hears the final fantasy music playing and usually doesn't bother me for like 4 hours because he thinks its the most boring shit in the world. Its really just that he has no idea what's going on, he feels that way about every MMORPG I've ever played 😂. "What do you mean you're waiting for a tank? Why do you need a scythe if you're getting a tank?" Like…if he had a clue im sure he might enjoy it, but he doesn't really want a clue so he just fucks off while I go be a bad ass chocolate bunny grim reaper bish that cooks cabbage for a few hours.

  10. Majority of FFXIV streamers fit into one of these categories: 1. Raiding for Vods. or 2. RP/ERP. 2 very niche pieces of content that only caters to a small number of people that doesn't interact with their chat or get them involved. a 3rd would be commissions but those are just clickbaity streams to get current in-game players to boost their Twitch viewership for a small period of time.

  11. I'm reminded of that scene from the Simpsons, the Flaming Moe episode where Homer said "You lost yourself a customer" but Moe was too busy with people shoving money in his face to hear him.

  12. Ay i mean its the same thing for other games, i didnt watch asmon because of wow, i watch him because of the funny/stupid shite he says while doing whatever in the game. If he was just playing the game it would be quite unwatchable, which is why i dont watch top tier pvpers hug the arena walls for hours on end

  13. Most streamers are boring. They just play the game and go "that's weird" or expect viewers because they're "good" at the game. Being the best at a game doesn't mean you're the best streamer for it. There's a reason Asmon gets more viewers than Method, for example. Or whatever the current guild name is. Mentally for WoW I'm still in legion lol
