catgirls arent considered furry by most people really. they fit in their own category (kemonomimi) alongside bunnygirls and other humans with animal ears and tails.
The part about party wipes is so true. Played WoW and was trying a tank class after reaching the then max lvl with DPS. Told the party i was new to tanking so i would likely be bad and their first reply was "maybe don't play tank then". On the flip side after getting past the nervousness WoW gave me about tanking I once again explain i am new to tanking but instead the FF community simply says "ok go at your pace, get a feel for what needs to be done and if we do wipe or someone dies don't stress it happens when you are learning".
There's a general sense of wanting to help each other learn in FFXIV and there's really no place for that in WoW, not even in the easy content. Sure if you're brand new to tank in a Savage party I'm sure people would get annoyed, but I can't think of anywhere else that they would be. It's helped a lot of friends get over their tank anxiety.
@@Jaws1375 You always gotta start somewhere, and tanking in FF14 isn't exactly rocket science. You hit everything once and it's pretty impossible to lose aggro. When people say they're new to something, there is no reason to be mad at them at all. They just wanna try a new thing. When people tell me they're new to healing, I pull two packs once, and see if that stresses them out too much, and if it does, I'll do one by one until they're comfortable enough to heal two. Sometimes people are just nervous. Or used to getting shouted at. What I really can't stand, are people that do not chat and still fuck everything up. That's quite annoying. But still not a reason to be mad. That usually only happens in earlier content, and you can do that pretty much without one of the roles, so again - no reason to be mad.
I remember near shadowlands launch, I had a group trying to do Plaguefall on Mythic, we got a tank after 10 mins of waiting, and as soon as a tank comes, the healer inspects the tank, leaves the group and whispers me "this dude is trolling, look at talents" Tank was legit using IcyVeins build and to this day I will never know if that healer was trolling.
@@Jaws1375 WoW is a less forgiving game, even in lower level content. The learning curve is higher and penalties for failure are steeper. To some extent, it's the way the games are structured that dictates how willing people are to tolerate failure.
Funny little story on my side: My career as an omniclasser actually began with my frustration at DPS queues as a Summoner in Stormblood. Had this "Brilliant" idea of 'Hang on, I can just level as a Scholar!' so I got myself some helaing gear from the vendor. Level 63, and the approperiate dungeon isn't exactly hard, so I felt safe. Figured out my buttons as well as I could outside of actual content and off I went. So I get into a group for the Violet Tides and the first thing to note was that I told the group it was my first time healing. Our tank and the samuria in the group were quite to note that "It's a bit weird to try it this late, but.. we'll give it a shot. Also, you forgot your fairy." kind of awkward. I ask them very nicely to be gentle with me. My words were noted, but unheeded. The tank went crazy and pulled from wall to wall and I was desperately scrambling to keep him alive in sheer panic. Through some sort of miracle-either through him being a god or me not being completely awful- we survived. The tank then said "Yeah, I'm having trouble imagining this is your first time healing, I'm not even dead :P" So we continue onward and somehow we keep surviving and eventually finish the dungeon, at which point the DPS said "This healer is actually kind of good, some rookie mistakes aside." and the tnak flat-out said "I've had dedicated healer mains who are bad and you're not bad at all." which was a massive confidence booster and propelled me to playing healer for-big shocker coming- FUN! So I started doing that, then I played Astrologian, then White Mage. Next, I tried playing tanks, a dream I've had since WoW Vanilla but was basically prohibited from even attempting because.. you know the WoW community. Regardless, I started from scratch this time, as a Paladin, on and up we go, slowly but surely and.. before I knew it, I had overcome my tankxiety and was geniunely enjoying myself. I now unironically have more fun playing healer and tank than I do DPS, a notion I would have laughed at just a few years ago. Course, the major downside to this-and the only one- is that I can now spot a lot of mistakes other people make. Heavens forfend if it's a tank not using their cooldowns on trash where they're most needed. Oh well. I can at least cry into my Amaro for comfort now. TL:DR In a little over a year the FFXIV community's patience and understanding had done what World of Warcraft's couldn't in over a decade: Helped me enjoy learning a new role in an MMORPG.
Raids is not a good gameplay mechanics. Really hope that's how each individual feels but imo even if it is; creating content that can't be cleared without relying on others is a dumb decision. One needs to be away from raids dopamine(you will be sad) and think of it long enough to realize the grim truth that "socializing" means exerting control over others much more in mmo raids aka a megalomaniacs dream.
@@datuputi777 If you don't like the design of raiding & feel it forced upon you to play with other people, then there are single player games or game which offer a more single player experience. Your opinion is valid, but you shouldn't waste time playing games you dislike over trying out others which you might enjoy
@@datuputi777 Also MMORPGs have always been meant to play with other people, idk why you'd expect raiding content to be any different, there are other aspects in the game that can be done solo but this is how it's always been
@@datuputi777 don't worry, mate. Only a few dozen dungeons and 1 alliance raid are mandatory, most of which you can get carried through. Alternatively there are npc squads and later the trust system, so you won't need other players for a majority of the "multi-player content"
@@datuputi777 Bro no disrespect, but it's an MMO. If you don't want to play with other people then stick to single player games, there's more than enough great ones out there... And raids are not at all about exerting control over others. You're supposed to work together. As a team.
I mean, he's not wrong about the scale! I've seen it, we've all seen it. Catgirls are not furry, at most they approach it. Though we all know that the true version of the scale is the one that caps out at Dangerously Cheesy.
@@AndrevusWhitetail and yet i never cringed on those as much as i cringed with the cat girls and the bunny girls. Do not take the "Fur" so literal. Anyway, i don't really need to argue here, just go to limnsa lominsa.
I'm very happy to see this sort of video production about FF14. For the longest time we didn't have much of anything like this, or like Pint, or anything. We had some great productions, mind you, music and dance videos and the like, but when it comes to silly, blatant, almost shock humor at times, we had very little. It's a breath of fresh air and I'm glad people are enjoying both creating and consuming this kind of content with FF14 as its focus. Some of these creators are insanely good, too. They manage to present stuff in a way that's both understandable enough to be funny, but doesn't actually require more than a surface level understanding of the source. I've watched some of their WoW content in this same format, and despite not playing WoW, having no idea who's who, what order the expansions are, locations, plot points... Nothing at all, really, I can still enjoy their content for what it is. That's a really good indicator of talent, not just a good sense of humor. I hope we see many more!
Another thing is that a lot of FFXIV's high quality animations, skits, and humor were on the Asian side (mostly Japan, but there are some Korean and Chinese creators too), thus making it harder to search for non-Japanese/Korean/Chinese speakers unless recommended, the langauge barrier and cultural barrier.
I HATE people that HATE other people. The comment I respond to did not spread HATE. That is good. BUT! I get a lot of HATE comments on my amazing videos and I HATE it. Please don't start spreading HATE. Do I have to HATE you too, dear wow
This perfectly illustrates how awesome ff 14 music.The ascian theme probably isn't something I would call a good song but just a few notes in you already know exactly what is happening, and they do this all the time with different versions of different themes to call back to specific moments but tweak the emotion slightly.
@@pedropereira6888 even 12 and 13 with different composer have good music ( Wanted to say for those people who dislike 13 but like 7r soundtrack , it's the same composer :D )
Kudos to Captain Grim on using dwarf armor for that lalafell at 5:00 For WoW players, they don't know much of lalafells at first glance, they just know they're like Gnomes. But adding the dwarf makes it feel like to have a race they know. There are dwarves in the game, not gonna spoil, but I would consider them the cousins to lalafells.
The cool thing is ALL the races in 14 don't adhere to as narrow of stereotypes as most characters in most races do in WoW. Within a faction within a zone, sure, but on the large scale nope. If they're named and get a bit of screentime, there's usually more to them. In WoW, basically every Orc is always SMOrc'tar O'gar and sure Roegadyns get a lot of hired muscle, they're also the Tailoring and Cooking trainers, with the tailoring guy doubling as a dapper purveyor of xmogs. They just put more effort into the characters being products of their own story rather than a fantasy race stereotype all the time. Every race has Chads and Chadettes, and every race has weasely little backstabbers.
I've been playing FFXiV for about 4 weeks now and all the content I've done with a group, not a single person has left the group. It's actually insanely astounding and not something I was used to.
low level dungeons in FFXIV are a walk in the park, it will never take more than 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile in early days of wow, people could be stuck in wailing caverns for 2-3 hours. i've done both of those things, you have no idea how stupid and unfair this comparisson feels like. In end game extremes, people will leave after wipes, trust me.
@@akhsdenlew1861 Yeah it's true. Not a whole lot of people leave but from my experience, it's like a 2/10 chance people will leave after a wipe or even entering an infamous duty like Titan Extreme. Most of the people who instant leave are mostly mentors. As for savage content, people will leave if they advertise to know the fight and people join yet don't know the fight.
i ran endwalker trial 1 extreme (not saying the name because massive spoilers) the other night and its 50/50 whether people leave after a wipe. depends on if youre advertising it as a practice party or not really. i did get a couple clears which is nice, but no mount yet and im still missing accessories sadly
@@Sharkenite it's probably a little more than that, but yea... Well end game content feels the same in every game... people only want optimzied pro groups, that's not an FFXIV thing or an WoW thing. i've seen it in GW2 probably the most and even in games like tera and bns. But the guy above shared an experience about LOW level dungeon ( most likely cus he is playing for almost a month). And low level dungeons are absolutly a joke in FFXIV compared to WoW and especially compared to wow classic. As i previously said, you first experience at around lvl 18-19 in a dungeon can be really brutal. U can literally get stuck in WC for HOURS. Wiping, getting lost, exploring, frustrated... In FFXIV ur first dungeon experience is a tast for a 3 year old kid that lasts less than 20 minutes. Ofc people might leave in wow's case but never in FFXIVs case. 3 hours getting lost and getting wiped in WC will naturally make people to leave for MANY reasons. but 15 mins of smooth "W pressing" in FFXIV? why would someone leave?
@@BazzbeTV Yeah it's the same people playing a slightly different MMO, they'll gradually alter that game's culture towards the one they just left. WoW's community problems aren't dev-created, shit like gearscore was all them.
Appreciate Zack taking a break and 110% understandable but damn I've been waiting to him react to this and Pint's WoW to FF vids when he was ready to, and yeah. Not disappointed at all.
The thing is the part about the party going again is not exaggerated. I've never seen a single player get mad or so after a wipe, not even after several wipes. It's crazy how different the communities are. But it's not only the community, because In the first dungeon of endwalker I've been with 3 other wow refugees, we were 4 ex wow players in a dungeon and everyone was friendly as fuck. Meanwhile in WoW I had a friend try out the game for the first time and he got kicked from a group while leveling because he didn't know the way.
That's a generalization to be completely honest. There will always be toxic people anywhere. In wow i've been in super toxic groups, and super nice groups. Let me give you an example: One group i was in a dungeon once, wanted to skip a boss at any cost. 1 person said he needed it, and got kicked for insisting in not skipping that boss Another group i was once had alread skipped a boss, cleared some trash, and a hunter said that the boss we had skipped droped a xbow which was an upgrade for him, and the group went back and killed that boss no problem at all. Everybody in that group was super chatty and friendly. Same game, diferent attitudes. My friend who used to play FFXIV only a couple years ago, had bad luck i guess, because he always seemed to find himself into very elitist groups. He ended up quitting FF because of that in fact. He is super casual and couldn't fit in with everybody else in his server.
@@treali Were those 50 runs total random strangers? Just wondering. Again, i don't have that much 1st hand experience with FF14. I have serveral friends that have played it tru the years and have tried to get me in, and all i can do is go by what they tell me. And like i said, they do say they've had problems with elitist groups, and the whole server in fact being quite elitist, and thus they reazon some ended up quitting, because they couldn't keep up. And when it comes to wow, my own experience is actualy the oposite to what you just said. In my own experience, only 1 or 2 out of 10 random groups will have a bad experience, BUT i gotta say when is one of those, it can be QUITE toxic. Fun story, i was runing timewalking dungeons a few weeks ago, and the healer i got was a paladin in tank spec and he went on pulling everything, and then tried to kick me because i "wasn't helping" even tho i kept on asking him to switch to the right spec. But again, those are far in between and that is why they stand out to me so much. In fact, almost 90% of my runs end up with people thanking for a smooth run, some thanking for explaining the run or the mechanics, and often peple asking me if they can add me to their friend list. But that is my personal experience so i know is totaly subjective. You know... in hindsight... it may be that the predisposition plays an important factor... I have good results because i usualy go in with a positive attitude. Maybe if people go in expecting to have a toxic experience, they have a bigger chance to have friction with other players if something goes wrong?
First time I ever fought Diabolos was 2 months ago. The group I was with must have wiped 5 times for that boss fight, and the only thing anyone focused on was A: Figuring out the mechanics that were defeating us and B: The fact we did a little better with each fight. This game is made by winners, for winners, and more people than not breath lightly here. I love it.
I encountered my first asshole in FFXIV yesterday after playing for 400 hours. Pretty good quota. We still finished the dungeon after two wipes though lol
I don’t know if I’ve run into a refugee while tanking, but if we have a new player to the dungeon, I’ll go slow and check on them from time to time. Provided the healer isn’t an ass and pulling far more than I like.
I've been playing _Dungeon Fighter Online_ for a month, and the stupidly easy difficulty has mostly killed my enjoyment of it. I like challenging games, and DFO ain't one, chief.
Its goinna sound weird but like.. I love wiping on raids, especially when they're new. Because that means we're ALL new, and we're all learning how it works together, so when we finally finish and we get that nice clean win at the end, it's like "yes. Now we have LEARNED, thus we may train the newest grasshoppers on their mission'." Sure you could just ask someone what the mechanics are, but wheres the fun in that when you could learn how it works and get that good feeling of sweet satisfaction knowing that you did it yourselves?
I can't wait until Asmon gets back into FFXIV...but I've been waiting for him to play DS3 Cinders mod forever,hopefully some videos get uploaded on his boss/death runs.
No one has a better read on this whole situation than Grim. That wipe scene is the most accurate shit. I still can't believe how nice the community is.
This is why blind prog can be fun in XIV, even with a pick up group. if you all are learning together, and you wipe, it's not a big deal. You learned what not to do. As long as everyone is on the same page, it can be genuinely fun.
@@katarh So far my experience has been really great. I'm a little over halfway through Heavensward and have yet to have a negative group experience as a tank. Even during some of the more difficult trials where we wipe like 6 or 7 times.
"Funny how this guys hair is kinda like mine..." Dude, that character is YOU. Zack, this whole video is about YOU leaving WoW and going to FF14... I laughed so hard when he thought the characters hair was just a coincidence.
oh how I want to talk about what kind of beings the Blizzard devs are... but I don't want to spoil the post-MSQ Shadowbringers and Endwalker. Suffice it to say that these higher up Blizzard devs are worse than the Ascians you know.
@@HouseOfAlastrian The best villains are always the ones that make you pause and go, "Yeah, he's got a point." That does not apply to Blizzard these days.
1:22 I blame EverQuest for starting the whole "furry" thing back when they released Shadows of Luclin on December 4th, 2001, which included two new races: The Vah Shir (very furry cat race) and Froglok. Vah Shir Beastlord (BST was also introduced as a new class in the same expansion) was the race/class combo for almost a year. The first month of release you couldn't go into any zone without seeing a f--king cat. KC
I still play wow pretty often but I also play FFXIV pretty often and I gotta say I do still enjoy both of the games, ofcourse theres periods were I play the one game more than the other. Iam almost done with Heavensward now and damn what a journey it has been, I gotta say that I actually didnt enjoy ARR until the very end of it, the story wasnt bad at all just that I didnt feel that challenged until doing the very last content of the xpac (being a tryhard wow player for years made that I guess). but now I just love the game!
4:16 has happened a lot to groups I have been in lately, a new player expects group to disband and everyone to be toxic and we just lift him up. And move on. A part of me believes this is because death is so... cheap.
The ironic thing is it's the mentality people NEED for hardcore prog. If wipes and wiping to stupid crap puts you off, you ain't progging. People always act like "toxicity comes from tryhards" but "tryhards" know to suck it up and pull again.
Damnnn that part where he wants to abandon the group because of WOW´s toxic system wiping and disbanding all the fucking time. Hit in the feels man after 15 years of WoW.
Never was attracted to FF14 but the game and devs have my respect. I just transformed into a classic wow boomer. Me and the boys hop on once a week and just chill. We quest, level, and do some dungeons. Whenever we get a random if we wipe they always get nervous and over apologize.
5:08 min.: The Main Reson why i switch my Main Game 2 FF14. I have nothing against that what Blizzard do about the Story or the Content. I be fully Fine with this. But the People in FF14 be so much more Kind and Hearth warming then in outher Games. Clearly also there gave it Black Sheeps but they be much more less and the Rekown of this Comutiny is not Resonless so great. Have a great day Guys ^^
I can't speak to the specifics in WoW now, since I quit in Cata, but from my prior experience, WoW promotes hostility due to how much time it wastes whenever you wipe and how much time it expects you to keep current with content. FF14 makes wiping pretty much painless, you don't lose anything but time, all cooldowns are reset, there are no buffs you lose on death, and you can jump right back into the fight, or in under a minute due to shortcuts provided. Recovering from people dying is also possible, though DPS checks in harder content can still lead to a wipe, you have the chance to recover and if nothing else, progress further to learn the fight. Gearing is pretty much non-issue in FF14, and people care more about just successfully completing the content, along with getting mounts, minions, and glamours, than another 5 ilvls, as gearing is easy.
The fucking furry chart almost made me spit my drink at the screen it caught me so funny. I thought it was gonna be another unintelligible Asmongold handmade paint chart but this was a legit chart. Had me rolling.
As some members of different communities set aside differences in an effort to play a happy game, us wow refugees and the ff vets can breathe a sigh of relief, nature is healing
animal ear people are not furry. a furry is an anthropomorphised animal, but animal ear people are just regular humans with a few features added onto them. in japan its just the kemonomimi aesthetic wich just means animal ears, whereas proper furry is called kemono. they are specifically distinct then again japanese style anthropomorphic animals are also very distinct from western furry creations
Thanks for the nice answers. It intrigue's me now even more. What I ask myself, can I enjoy the game if I don't care for it's story or characters? So many ppl say you can't play and enjoy FF14 if you don't care for the story?! I like the style of the game, but I am nowhere near a fan of anime stories at all.
@@GamersVault2011 ppl who say you can’t enjoy it or any other game for that matter without liking the story or characters are mentally unstable. I’ve skipped so much of the non voiced, boring, unimportant stuff(honestly if you just watch the voiced scenes you pretty much will still understand what’s going on). I don’t even like a lot of the characters and some story elements and I still like it and I’m sure there’s a ton more ppl of the same mindset.
I wanted to play a Samurai so i grinded to 50 while skipping everything that was possible because i couldnt care less about the Story and the Quest Design was terrible anyway. Why does this Girl has to be in the middle of Nowhere and i have to go back 10000 Times... I still had a lot of fun playing the way i did but everyone just hates me for doing it that way xD
FFXIV fans saying "you just might like it" to the story is JUST PERFECT. Some of the most bland, cliche, overly used fantasy writing all stolen from other tales, and the FFXIV community thinks its like the holy grail of writing. It's actually really REALLY boring and unoriginal. I feel like none of the fans have ever opened up a novel in their life if they think it's "good writing". BUT FFXIV fans are known for blindly praising anything and everything in their game even if it's bad, so I understand.
I mean that might be true ARR to storm blood. Very generic story beats but shadowbringer and endwalker genuinely have world building and storytelling that remind me of some of the best fantasy novels of the past few decades.
I've always said ARR is pretty standard mmo/jrpg fare. They just needed something clean and easy for the gamble of 2.0. It took them a bit to hit their stride, a lot of early 2.x was filler-y, weighed down by a bit too much of fetch quests. Then 2.55 really delivers, great payoff, Heavensward 3.0 really solidifies a lot for the tone and better narrative overall. Matty here, has spoken as someone who played to like lv20 and stopped because he confused it for the WoW Free Trial. No one claims ARR is the holy grail of writing, even a lot of 14's own players are a bit too mean to it even. But they will say Heavensward, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker are really freaking amazing.
When I quit wow I quit mmos in general, you're on some serious copium if you think FFXIV is any better, questing put my ass to sleep on that game like watching a low budget Anime
there's this hunch of mine... that as a gaming free time spender / loner, and not exactly a gamer which sounds not only professional but also competitive, that if you don't start with final fantasy, you'll most likely get banned at the somewhat start of playing it, and also there aren't exactly final fantasy players taking refuge anywhere else, even though communities does exist... just a hunch.
yeah bro, you cant be both the guy who jumps ship first and tells everyone they suck, and at the same time be the guy who complains about this happening.
@@Maxiter No, you aren't you are just biased. Plenty of men like playboy bunnies or those casino bunny suits and that doesn't make them furry. There is a difference between someone who likes fully anthromorphized animals and a chick wearing cat-ears or bunny-ears.
The trouble is that the bunnies (Viera) and the cats (Miqo'te) are just humans with cat and rabbit ears. All of the other parts are human parts. EDIT: oh their tails too. Well, the cats. The Au'ra, on the other hand, are scalies.
I take great offense to that no-skipping-cutscenes guy. It perpetuates a negative and untrue stereotype, because I have NEVER. In my life. Played an elezen.
asmon going from calling ffxiv a furry game to defending cat girls and bunny girls is character development we like to see
He’s an expert in internet degeneracy after all.

@@datuputi777 Bro no disrespect, but it's an MMO. If you don't want to play with other people then stick to single player games, there's more than enough great ones out there... And raids are not at all about exerting control over others. You're supposed to work together. As a team.
“As an expert in internet degeneracy…” ahhh yes, I remember Asmon the Degenerate. He was never wrong.
I mean, he's not wrong about the scale! I've seen it, we've all seen it. Catgirls are not furry, at most they approach it.
Though we all know that the true version of the scale is the one that caps out at Dangerously Cheesy.

I'm very happy to see this sort of video production about FF14. For the longest time we didn't have much of anything like this, or like Pint, or anything. We had some great productions, mind you, music and dance videos and the like, but when it comes to silly, blatant, almost shock humor at times, we had very little. It's a breath of fresh air and I'm glad people are enjoying both creating and consuming this kind of content with FF14 as its focus.
Some of these creators are insanely good, too. They manage to present stuff in a way that's both understandable enough to be funny, but doesn't actually require more than a surface level understanding of the source. I've watched some of their WoW content in this same format, and despite not playing WoW, having no idea who's who, what order the expansions are, locations, plot points... Nothing at all, really, I can still enjoy their content for what it is. That's a really good indicator of talent, not just a good sense of humor. I hope we see many more!
Another thing is that a lot of FFXIV's high quality animations, skits, and humor were on the Asian side (mostly Japan, but there are some Korean and Chinese creators too), thus making it harder to search for non-Japanese/Korean/Chinese speakers unless recommended, the langauge barrier and cultural barrier.
yea i love that the amazing creators are coming over
@Nyeh fuck the Chinese creations, I’d stay away from that shit.

This perfectly illustrates how awesome ff 14 music.The ascian theme probably isn't something I would call a good song but just a few notes in you already know exactly what is happening, and they do this all the time with different versions of different themes to call back to specific moments but tweak the emotion slightly.
I think he meant by how good that it's fit the GM so well
This is something Square Enix does for all Final Fantasy games. These theme songs really set the mood instantly

Kudos to Captain Grim on using dwarf armor for that lalafell at 5:00
For WoW players, they don't know much of lalafells at first glance, they just know they're like Gnomes. But adding the dwarf makes it feel like to have a race they know. There are dwarves in the game, not gonna spoil, but I would consider them the cousins to lalafells.
And theres goblins too. Both mechanically inclined! Tho ff14 goblins worship best god / primal a goblin could ever ask for.
Dwarves are lalafels in the game, not close, or cousin, they are, just a different name.
The cool thing is ALL the races in 14 don't adhere to as narrow of stereotypes as most characters in most races do in WoW. Within a faction within a zone, sure, but on the large scale nope. If they're named and get a bit of screentime, there's usually more to them. In WoW, basically every Orc is always SMOrc'tar O'gar and sure Roegadyns get a lot of hired muscle, they're also the Tailoring and Cooking trainers, with the tailoring guy doubling as a dapper purveyor of xmogs. They just put more effort into the characters being products of their own story rather than a fantasy race stereotype all the time.
Every race has Chads and Chadettes, and every race has weasely little backstabbers.
@@jaeusa160 well said
Not cousins. much closer. much. the "Variant" races so to speak are the same as those you're used to but often with a different culture.
I've been playing FFXiV for about 4 weeks now and all the content I've done with a group, not a single person has left the group. It's actually insanely astounding and not something I was used to.
low level dungeons in FFXIV are a walk in the park, it will never take more than 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile in early days of wow, people could be stuck in wailing caverns for 2-3 hours.
i've done both of those things, you have no idea how stupid and unfair this comparisson feels like.
In end game extremes, people will leave after wipes, trust me.
@@akhsdenlew1861 Yeah it's true. Not a whole lot of people leave but from my experience, it's like a 2/10 chance people will leave after a wipe or even entering an infamous duty like Titan Extreme. Most of the people who instant leave are mostly mentors.
As for savage content, people will leave if they advertise to know the fight and people join yet don't know the fight.
i ran endwalker trial 1 extreme (not saying the name because massive spoilers) the other night and its 50/50 whether people leave after a wipe. depends on if youre advertising it as a practice party or not really. i did get a couple clears which is nice, but no mount yet and im still missing accessories sadly
@@Sharkenite it's probably a little more than that, but yea...
Well end game content feels the same in every game... people only want optimzied pro groups, that's not an FFXIV thing or an WoW thing.
i've seen it in GW2 probably the most and even in games like tera and bns.
But the guy above shared an experience about LOW level dungeon ( most likely cus he is playing for almost a month).
And low level dungeons are absolutly a joke in FFXIV compared to WoW and especially compared to wow classic.
As i previously said, you first experience at around lvl 18-19 in a dungeon can be really brutal.
U can literally get stuck in WC for HOURS.
Wiping, getting lost, exploring, frustrated...
In FFXIV ur first dungeon experience is a tast for a 3 year old kid that lasts less than 20 minutes.
Ofc people might leave in wow's case but never in FFXIVs case.
3 hours getting lost and getting wiped in WC will naturally make people to leave for MANY reasons.
but 15 mins of smooth "W pressing" in FFXIV? why would someone leave?
" then we waste our time together"

Appreciate Zack taking a break and 110% understandable but damn I've been waiting to him react to this and Pint's WoW to FF vids when he was ready to, and yeah.
Not disappointed at all.
The thing is the part about the party going again is not exaggerated. I've never seen a single player get mad or so after a wipe, not even after several wipes. It's crazy how different the communities are. But it's not only the community, because In the first dungeon of endwalker I've been with 3 other wow refugees, we were 4 ex wow players in a dungeon and everyone was friendly as fuck.
Meanwhile in WoW I had a friend try out the game for the first time and he got kicked from a group while leveling because he didn't know the way.
That's a generalization to be completely honest. There will always be toxic people anywhere.
In wow i've been in super toxic groups, and super nice groups.
Let me give you an example:
One group i was in a dungeon once, wanted to skip a boss at any cost. 1 person said he needed it, and got kicked for insisting in not skipping that boss
Another group i was once had alread skipped a boss, cleared some trash, and a hunter said that the boss we had skipped droped a xbow which was an upgrade for him, and the group went back and killed that boss no problem at all. Everybody in that group was super chatty and friendly.
Same game, diferent attitudes.
My friend who used to play FFXIV only a couple years ago, had bad luck i guess, because he always seemed to find himself into very elitist groups. He ended up quitting FF because of that in fact. He is super casual and couldn't fit in with everybody else in his server.
@@josejuanandrade4439 Obviously there are exceptions, but the amount of times you will have a toxic group in wow is FAR FAR greater
@@treali Were those 50 runs total random strangers? Just wondering.
Again, i don't have that much 1st hand experience with FF14. I have serveral friends that have played it tru the years and have tried to get me in, and all i can do is go by what they tell me. And like i said, they do say they've had problems with elitist groups, and the whole server in fact being quite elitist, and thus they reazon some ended up quitting, because they couldn't keep up.
And when it comes to wow, my own experience is actualy the oposite to what you just said. In my own experience, only 1 or 2 out of 10 random groups will have a bad experience, BUT i gotta say when is one of those, it can be QUITE toxic.
Fun story, i was runing timewalking dungeons a few weeks ago, and the healer i got was a paladin in tank spec and he went on pulling everything, and then tried to kick me because i "wasn't helping" even tho i kept on asking him to switch to the right spec. But again, those are far in between and that is why they stand out to me so much. In fact, almost 90% of my runs end up with people thanking for a smooth run, some thanking for explaining the run or the mechanics, and often peple asking me if they can add me to their friend list. But that is my personal experience so i know is totaly subjective.
You know... in hindsight... it may be that the predisposition plays an important factor... I have good results because i usualy go in with a positive attitude. Maybe if people go in expecting to have a toxic experience, they have a bigger chance to have friction with other players if something goes wrong?

This game is made by winners, for winners, and more people than not breath lightly here. I love it.

When we wipe in Ff14, I usually say: "Don't worry and lets just try again. If we weren't able to die, the game would be boring".
Each death is a learning experience.
I encountered my first asshole in FFXIV yesterday after playing for 400 hours. Pretty good quota. We still finished the dungeon after two wipes though lol
I don’t know if I’ve run into a refugee while tanking, but if we have a new player to the dungeon, I’ll go slow and check on them from time to time. Provided the healer isn’t an ass and pulling far more than I like.
I've been playing _Dungeon Fighter Online_ for a month, and the stupidly easy difficulty has mostly killed my enjoyment of it.
I like challenging games, and DFO ain't one, chief.
Its goinna sound weird but like.. I love wiping on raids, especially when they're new. Because that means we're ALL new, and we're all learning how it works together, so when we finally finish and we get that nice clean win at the end, it's like "yes. Now we have LEARNED, thus we may train the newest grasshoppers on their mission'." Sure you could just ask someone what the mechanics are, but wheres the fun in that when you could learn how it works and get that good feeling of sweet satisfaction knowing that you did it yourselves?
I fucking love this video so much. So happy Asmon reacted to this masterpiece.
I waited MONTHS to see him react to this.
I can't wait until Asmon gets back into FFXIV...but I've been waiting for him to play DS3 Cinders mod forever,hopefully some videos get uploaded on his boss/death runs.

No one has a better read on this whole situation than Grim. That wipe scene is the most accurate shit. I still can't believe how nice the community is.
This is why blind prog can be fun in XIV, even with a pick up group. if you all are learning together, and you wipe, it's not a big deal. You learned what not to do. As long as everyone is on the same page, it can be genuinely fun.
@@katarh So far my experience has been really great. I'm a little over halfway through Heavensward and have yet to have a negative group experience as a tank. Even during some of the more difficult trials where we wipe like 6 or 7 times.

I still play wow pretty often but I also play FFXIV pretty often and I gotta say I do still enjoy both of the games, ofcourse theres periods were I play the one game more than the other. Iam almost done with Heavensward now and damn what a journey it has been, I gotta say that I actually didnt enjoy ARR until the very end of it, the story wasnt bad at all just that I didnt feel that challenged until doing the very last content of the xpac (being a tryhard wow player for years made that I guess). but now I just love the game!

4:16 has happened a lot to groups I have been in lately, a new player expects group to disband and everyone to be toxic and we just lift him up. And move on. A part of me believes this is because death is so... cheap.
The ironic thing is it's the mentality people NEED for hardcore prog.
If wipes and wiping to stupid crap puts you off, you ain't progging. People always act like "toxicity comes from tryhards" but "tryhards" know to suck it up and pull again.

Never was attracted to FF14 but the game and devs have my respect. I just transformed into a classic wow boomer. Me and the boys hop on once a week and just chill. We quest, level, and do some dungeons. Whenever we get a random if we wipe they always get nervous and over apologize.

The ending fucking killed me😆
Ikr lol, i wanna see the chats reaction hahahah
Hearing the Ultima theme when he skips the cutscene. Had me rolling
I feel like the reason people disband on wow raids is because its all stat based rather than actually learning the fight
I can't speak to the specifics in WoW now, since I quit in Cata, but from my prior experience, WoW promotes hostility due to how much time it wastes whenever you wipe and how much time it expects you to keep current with content. FF14 makes wiping pretty much painless, you don't lose anything but time, all cooldowns are reset, there are no buffs you lose on death, and you can jump right back into the fight, or in under a minute due to shortcuts provided. Recovering from people dying is also possible, though DPS checks in harder content can still lead to a wipe, you have the chance to recover and if nothing else, progress further to learn the fight. Gearing is pretty much non-issue in FF14, and people care more about just successfully completing the content, along with getting mounts, minions, and glamours, than another 5 ilvls, as gearing is easy.
Next up should be JoCat's DPS video
The fucking furry chart almost made me spit my drink at the screen it caught me so funny. I thought it was gonna be another unintelligible Asmongold handmade paint chart but this was a legit chart. Had me rolling.
As some members of different communities set aside differences in an effort to play a happy game, us wow refugees and the ff vets can breathe a sigh of relief, nature is healing
animal ear people are not furry. a furry is an anthropomorphised animal, but animal ear people are just regular humans with a few features added onto them. in japan its just the kemonomimi aesthetic wich just means animal ears, whereas proper furry is called kemono. they are specifically distinct then again japanese style anthropomorphic animals are also very distinct from western furry creations

Being berated for skipping the walls of text ..... that legitimately happened to me lmao.
FFXIV fans saying "you just might like it" to the story is JUST PERFECT. Some of the most bland, cliche, overly used fantasy writing all stolen from other tales, and the FFXIV community thinks its like the holy grail of writing. It's actually really REALLY boring and unoriginal. I feel like none of the fans have ever opened up a novel in their life if they think it's "good writing". BUT FFXIV fans are known for blindly praising anything and everything in their game even if it's bad, so I understand.
You feel better?
I mean that might be true ARR to storm blood. Very generic story beats but shadowbringer and endwalker genuinely have world building and storytelling that remind me of some of the best fantasy novels of the past few decades.
@@mann0311 yeah. ARR is a slog to get through but the expansions after it are worth it. It’s one hell of a gauntlet though.
I've always said ARR is pretty standard mmo/jrpg fare. They just needed something clean and easy for the gamble of 2.0. It took them a bit to hit their stride, a lot of early 2.x was filler-y, weighed down by a bit too much of fetch quests. Then 2.55 really delivers, great payoff, Heavensward 3.0 really solidifies a lot for the tone and better narrative overall.
Matty here, has spoken as someone who played to like lv20 and stopped because he confused it for the WoW Free Trial.
No one claims ARR is the holy grail of writing, even a lot of 14's own players are a bit too mean to it even. But they will say Heavensward, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker are really freaking amazing.
Not sure how Shadowbringers or Endwalker could be considered bland.

That's some deep-six copium there, Asmon.
No, he's just correct. Look into furry culture, Miqo'te and Viera don't qualify, they're way too vanilla.
The trouble is that the bunnies (Viera) and the cats (Miqo'te) are just humans with cat and rabbit ears. All of the other parts are human parts.
EDIT: oh their tails too. Well, the cats.
The Au'ra, on the other hand, are scalies.
No, he speaks facts. Hrothgar are the only real furry race.
as a furry, hes right. bunny bois and cat bois are not furries.
I take great offense to that no-skipping-cutscenes guy. It perpetuates a negative and untrue stereotype, because I have NEVER. In my life. Played an elezen.
that wipe part was gold
