fantasy 14 mass exodus back to world of warcraft.
On a side note, I never expected to say microsoft is going to be the savior of world of warcraft and overwatch, they even mentioned starcraft dang.
But a lot of people did say that, final fantasy 14 is dead. We’re doomed and pack your bags it was all hype and smoke and mirrors!
If you saw my last video on queues finally being reasonable a lot of people took it really out of context and I wanted to get this video out days ago but my mom was on antibiotics and had so my genuine play place of fun, this channel, had to be put to the side for a bit.
But she’s doing better so first thing I wanna talk about is this final fantasy 14 phenomenon.
This is normal for final fantasy 14. Final fantasy 14 respects your time and so we’ve seen queues dip off because of this. Final fantasy 14’s developers don’tthink your time is worth the toilet paper they just used like other grindy games do. This is very normal actually for any patch that has been out for going on 2 months now. There is a significant drop of content that people burn through at an accelerated pace and then there isn’t anything left to do.
And this is factually, one hundred percent factually, something that always has been a factor in final fantasy 14. And this is exactly why me and others say final fantasy 14 respects your time, now people might be confused initially why I say that.
World of Warcraft right now literally days ago has had people do videos on how grindy it is, how time gated it is, how there is an insurmountable amount of grind and daily quests and time gate this time gate that and how people are giving up the grind because it’s just a monster.

In final fantasy 14 once you’ve leveled your jobs to play up, once you’ve got a baseline gear set for them it really does boil down to play when you want what you want. You just should ideally cap your weekly tomestones out to 450 which takes a fairly short time with expert roulette dungeon or hunt trains. But even that stops being a thing after a few weeks because once you have the tombstone pieces you’re done.
In fact there are actually some pure raiders that even skip that, not that it is advisable because best in slot always includes tombstone pieces but I know people that explicitly only raid and are handed a pentamelded crafted set and only log on to raid and absolutely refuse to do anything else.
And they are just fine for it.
I can think of many people who do the same for crafters, housing enthusiasts, some explicitly even play only for mahjong. Yes. Mahjong.
And this is exactly why final fantasy 14 has this large appeal and audience, like I’ve had single mothers in my community I’ve spoken to express they enjoy this cause it’s a nice passive hobby that respects even their time. And if they are giving their stamp of approval that’s a pretty significant positive sign.
So respecting players time is like of the utmost importance to the developers. It’s like if you join final fantasy 14 you’re not forced to do daily quests for 3 months every single day for a few hours because screw being able to travel fast or fly across maps I literally swear were designed to infuriate me and all others. Like the Venthyr map, I loved the Venthyr but that map was absolutely designed to out my time.
At risk of repeating myself, it’s a relief that your ability to perform in raid isn’t dependent on an RNG roll on RNG roll from a RNG drop from an RNG spawn of some mob on an RNG map or titanforging or whatever else. It’s nice to be able to not need to grind out a heart of azeroth in order to raid and not perform worse than someone that doesn’t work a “lol normy scrub lol salaried wagie” full time job.

FFXIV has actually never been more alive, queues are not directly indicative of player retention and fun. People took my video about lowered queues WAY out of context! 🍕🍕🍕

everything is dying, even you.
Gil? Oh u mean that currency ppl want but don't fucking know how to make. cause they r inpatient instant gratification I'm owed everything in life. Please hand me everything on a silver platter. That gil?
A quick question cause I’m new to the game and channel. Can you make a new completely player raid guide? I’m grinding out shadow bringers now and am looking forward to raiding once I hit max level.
Hope your mom feels better.
FFXIV is a good game, I finished EW MSQ which was as good as SHB 5.0 imo, did the side content, and now I'm taking a break. Not really in the mood to do savage, ultimates or look for a static atm.
at least people who couldnt play before can now play unlike the start of endwalker
i prefer to wait in 1 to90 log in ques on any data centers
because 100 to 9999 is stupid and insane
With the game being available for purchase again the queues are probably going to get slightly higher
This is totally normal! The queues were the craziest I have ever seen since 1.0! I have completed Endwalker MSQ & am now lvl'n alt jobs, then it is on to Hand/Land jobs! But if I get burnt out I will take a break & come back after awhile! I play mostly for the story so I just take my time! FF14 will not die at least not for the next 10 years because Yoshi P has content for that time period! FF14 is the number 1 MMORPG in the world, PERIOD!
meh…. clicky baity again… :p
I login to fish, that's the true end game
Imagine you want to mow the lawn
Ff14: plug the mower in/fuel it up first! "sure duh"
WoW: Here's a scythe without handle and a broken hairdryer, assemble a mower yourself.
I love ya bud, and I hope your
mom is doing great, but for the love of the Twelve … literally no more 'literally' pleaspleaspleasplease .. just a little less "literally" … toss in a not-figurative once in a bit 😉
Oh and yeah the Venthyr zone … sucked … /crickets 🙂
Cole: FFXIV respects your time.
Housing savage: Am I a joke to you?!
Don't worry we may get long queues again once they start selling the game again.
I actually was starting to burn out due to balance power leveling with savage.
Decided to drop the power leveling for a bit.
And do less savage.
Single mothers in comments you say? 😂
your comments/discord has some crazy zealots. Queues are decreasing so that means game is dead?
ffxiv is not dead crafting is dieing and mb is dieing
Never feel bad for taking care of your mom before some yt video. Hope she is doing better. Also ded game, content where, ultimate 4 plx
Edit: i miss wod, it let me login, do my garrison for pots, then raid and logout. Was great. Sl i just gave up grinding for some sockets
Queues calming down is also because they increased server capacities. I think they went from 17k to 21k? Somesuch. I mean, sure, its a dead game, all those other people in the cities are just NPCs and bots, jup, totally…
What was the first song played in the beginning of the video?
My first though when i hear bullshit like that, is the game still removed from the store? Cause if it is, player numbers can only go one way
Queues going down is the reason I came back. I didnt want to wait 30mn to play. When I saw the first report of queues going down, I resubbed again and I'm very happy with the game 🙂
omg…this title..
As much as I like the "take time off, you won't fall behind anytime soon" Mantra, it's not compatible with Gardening at all. I wish they implemented some crafted Item or something to keep Plants watered for a few days. Maybe make it like Level 3 FC Buffs which you can't restock as fast as you use them
queue? what queue? (laughs in tank)
clickbait?
Former WoW player here that was part of the band wagon, and honestly I've had more fun in FF than wow in years, of course I'm getting used to the dungeons, trials and such, and PvE in general, (I was a strictly PvP player in wow) the fact the game respects its customers time, the community is in general a wholesome time, I've yet once dealt with toxic players, I'm sure there are some in FF but WoW is straight toxic in every category, and very grindy. The FF community welcomed not only me but those who swapped to their game, and I am happy to be part of this community, to help those if I can, tho, im still learning myself. Fantastic devs and playerbase
There is always a dip off after a majority of the player base finishes the msq. It's been the trend since Heavensward.
@Cole Evyx If i never have to hear the word Titan forging ever again.. it will be too soon.
The fact that i can step away for a few weeks and not fall behind in the way it is with other games is a good thing.
I thought everyone is playing less because we are all starting new characters on Australian servers so no reason to progress old characters lol
Monster hunter rise killed the que not WoW lol the timing of release and the que dieng is perfect timing. I reclear Tuesday night prog on Saturday and play monhun in between ez game ez life
trust me ff14 is not dying dude.
FF14 may not be dead, but you know what is? Delubrum Reginae and Dalriada
its just ff going back to what it was, a dead game.
wow players created the hype but no wow player can play ff in the long run its just a casual and stupid game really.
3 monthns and I got out, not alone I see.
Thankfully, i wanna play the game not wait in line lol
Every mmo, there is always someone making a video or post saying the game is dying based off the same observation. So tiresome.
I actually been on 14 hiatus for like a week and I'm glad for the most part don't feel super pressed. I'd say its harder with EW as i finished msq late due to the log ins, but im glad i can come back on my terms
I went back so did so many streamers! Stop trolling with dungeon ques , more to it!
