@@NeroLucifarious bro he is commited to nothing. If he comes back he will slack and do whatever he wants till he gets bored and leaves the game again and that is completelly fine
Dude his ffxiv streams pulled me one of the worst times in my life. I was nursing my father more than a year and his streams (he was playing ffxiv) really was the only thing I enjoyed through my day. I actually cried when his mother passed away and a month later my father also answered his calling. Mad respect the lad, it took me more than a year to stabilize my life and he was still streaming.
His FFXIV streams helped me with my weight loss, i lost 40 kgs and his streams helped so much by keeping me entertained for as much as 12 hours per day. Funny how he was just streaming but provided so much help to so many people without even knowing it.
Bro the Golden Saucer era was one of the most fun I had watching Asmon. It was like a filler anime arc that was actually better than the normal seasons.
Same... I wanted him to reach Stormblood's endgame or Shadowbringers endgame. I can understand MSQ wasn't his deal even if for us it was fun, but raids is his thing and oh man do I wish we'd seen him do boss fights that are less dated like Coils or Alexander. Omega is such a step up and Eden is where imo raiding was peaking and not to mention all the trials which peaked with Stormblood.
It's kind of a shame for someone to slog through the worst parts of the game only to leave before, some would say, the best parts. But I'm sure he had his reasons.
@@ericmm6822Supposedly new players will have the option to start at Dawntrail sometime after 8.0? Just a rumor I've heard. It would be great to fix the ARR slog issue. I can't rightly recommend anyone play a game that only becomes great after 100 hours of lore dumps and pretzel delivery.

Shadowbringers is the best piece of MMO content available in history. Endwalker is abysmally bad, worse than Shadowlands so he better quit after Shadowbringers.
@@radoslav2913 Bro's gotta be a comment spammer. I respect your right to an opinion but that is as shit as an opinion gets bro.

I haven't played in a while but I'm geniunely upset he hasnt experienced Shadowbringers and Endwalker. Those were legit 2 of the best gaming experiences I've ever had and some of the most emotions I have felt from a game. If you know you know.
Bring me back to those glory days, these days where we all were sharing in the enjoyment of watching him experience the same thing we all did. Its unreal how nostalgic this video is.
Such good memories. I hope he'll come back and play the game again someday. If so then I hope he does it how he wants and when he wants and just mainly enjoy it without any weird expectations. Not sure if that's possible but you never know.
my man was so close to finishing up stormblood too, and shadowbringers, the expansion following it, is generally seen as the best expension FFXIV has so far, and I would LOVE to see asmon's reaction to all of that!
I always found it sad how whenever he reminisces about the game or just compares it to anything it's almost always in a positive light, yet he never properly came back to it because people were too obnoxious in asking to get him to play more. Hopefully he will come back to it either very soon to catch up with MSQ before Dawntrail comes out, or right after it comes out because of the major graphics update. But who knows at this point. It has perhaps been too long by now afterall.
Man i miss the ff14 content, I dont care if he plays the game forever but his reactions and commentary on events and stuff was super fun. Even if he doesn't cry at the msq, and I dont think he will, I wanted to hear his thoughts on each msq raid and story and trial content.
i watch this compilation from time to time. asmon looks genuinely happy and excited to play the game. i have never seen him like that before and after he played ffxiv. this was truly the best timeline.
honestly some of asmons best streams were when he was deep into this game. I got round to finishing the msq recently and man it would be awesome to see his reactions to the later expansions. I will be waiting patiently as I have been since he quit.
Honestly the Asmongold and the rest of the twitch streamers were why I started playing FF in the first place. And now it's been 2 years and it's kinda crazy just how much of an impact it had on me from them trying it out.
The mispronunciation of names and running with it until I forgot that Urianger was called Urianger and not Uberdanger, the min iLVL raids, how the community rallied around him to support him, the Golden Saucer and Chocobo races and just seeing Asmon have the best time were all such highlights. I know myself and many, many others would love to see him play again, but Asmon's happiness is absolutely what's most important and that a majority of his viewership will support him no matter content he decides to play and make. 😇🥰 (even if Y'shtola longs for his return 😩)
Some of my favorite memories were raiding and doing trials with Asmongold on FF XIV. Thoradan extreme no echo will always be one of my favorite memories. Taking him down with 2 people still alive. Such a nail bitter.
I remember i started playing maybe a month before he did. It was awesome to be playing the game and watching him play as well. Especially seeing his reaction to the npcs and quests.
I mostly want Asmongold to experience the ending of the story he started. The best was still to come. And I started playing cause of asmongold in the first place. Never looked back and found a new home. Thanks asmon!
Much like Dark Souls, I think FFXIV redefined his content, his stream, and maybe even the way he views MMOs. Suddenly having to clear trash for half an hour before the boss seemed weird. Having to run back, eat, rebuff for half your raid time seemed excessive. Good storytelling and compelling character design weren't so unattainable. I also think it broke a wall, I don't think he'd have played Honkai, and maybe even Lost Ark without playing FFXIV first. It's a shame it comes with so much baggage for him and the community now. I really wish he'd made it to Shadowbringers, and Emet-Selch in particular.
@@KingQuatto Incredibly popular. Endwalker has had a very high player retention rate. Game costs $40 bucks or so and you pay per expansion. Sub price is equalish to wow's (I don't remember the actual cost, I have a discount so idk). The game is still continuously growing. Expect a slow burn of a story that gets better and better over time. I recommend taking time to doing the many side content that opens up at 50,60,70,80,90 (after you get to the credits in the main quest that is at those levels, NOT your character's current level), and ultimately going at your own pace. You'll catch up eventually. There's a lot of reading. It's very worth spending the time to do that. Mentors are meme, but they're here to help. If you run dungeons with a mentor, you get a bonus in xp which is nice. Feel free to reply if you have any more questions, I can answer stuff ingame or however
@@KingQuatto the free trial is free-to-play with no restrictions on playtime, and lets you play the base game and first two expansions. I can't say how much time it'd take you to 'get into it', as that highly relies on what you're looking for and luck. I will say that, for a lot of people, the game's story is considered very good. It is still very active. Queues are short, towns are full of players. We ARE in a content drought though, awaiting the next expansion release at the start of July. To try the free trial, I recommend looking up a video on how to best do it. Account creation can be worse than any boss fight!
@@KingQuatto TBH it depends on your definition of "get into it". Doing the MSQ is recommended because FF is well known for its story telling. The story itself will take a long time, several months to complete. If you like story games, its an unforgettable experience. The game is still popular, but in a lull phase because its right before a new xpac release. As for money, you can do a free trial all the way up until end of stormblood (2nd expansion), so you can start trying the story for free. If you're doing it purely for endgame, there are a lot of hurdles in your way.
@@KingQuatto If you pay attention to and play through the story (MSQ) it will take around 300-400 hours currently. Depending on reading speed and other factors. If you skip everything you could be done in like 50-75 if I had to guess. Then you'd be at endgame which is a lull at the moment. Rushing would not help much. If you have any friends that play that can really help the journey through the game. Guide you to content of interest and jump in for major bosses and dungeons along the way. The game is free to play all the way through it's second expansion, so if you're not sold on the game after playing through 200 hours worth of content to put money down, then not much else will convince you.
Dude...hes in the mid part i just hope he pulls through to at least blast through shadowbringers....ah well time to rewatch his Playlist and relive the good times
I still remember that guy who Asmon called Kabeeb. Every time he saw him, Kabeeb. I even completely forgot his real in game name and can only remember him now as Kabeeb.
This was honestly peak Asmongold content for me, and I'm saying that as an eternal WoW-player (since 2005) that has never played a Final Fantasy game. I'm just waiting for that graphic update I heard about and then I'm diving in.
the graphics update does not change that much look it up , if you want to start i suggest you to start now and try to enjoy the game and finish endwalker before next expantion
@@msmaa5thing is yoship said rotations pn most jobs are getting completely changed not to mention 2 of em are getting a full rework so theyd have to relearn the jobs again depending how far along they are come dawntrail. That being said the nice thing about 14 is it doesnt matter when u start so they could go either way
@@msmaa5 yeah I've seen the comparisons so I know it's nothing major but I still think it makes a meaningful difference and hopefully the colors will pop a little better compared to the currently somewhat muted (in my opinion) color palette.
For over 10 years this game (along with WoW too) has given me so many of my best gaming moments and memories. A huge highlight was watching Asmon play it through some of it. It was a spectacle of it's own that was like getting an expansion within an expansion. Beat the shit out of anything on Netflix at the time.
The community aspect of this game is why it was so much fun watching the ff14 saga. There was so much asmonlore that was created in that span of time, that it actually felt like a journey with the msq being the driving force for it all.
@@YazzPott Nah bro I don't know if you're new here, but Asmon has dealt with a lot of real piscopaths those years... and he know how to deal with them. nothing would make him stop if he didn't want to stop. is that simple. stop trying to vilanize ppl for nothing. he had a great time playing the game, the game community was super warm and respectful towards him and everything can be rewatched in many hours of vods.
The 14 maniacs didn't understand why he would put 14 in his stream titles yet do 14 hours of reaction videos and never play the game. He can do what he wants but just take FF14 out of the stream title my guy. It's not rocket science that's click baiting a fanbase
Walking down memory lane. It was super fun to watch him play FFXIV even though i could only catch bits and glimpses here and there. I do hope that one day he comes back to play the game again but even if he doesn't, so many memes and clips were made and we all had a good time. It was well worth it!
I am in tears rewatching all this, so emotional ride for him, He really looks so happy playing FFXIV. I just wanna see him in Shadowbringers, he will LOVE IT!! NO DOUBT! Plz Zack comeback to us! we miss you!
now that i think about it it always weirded me out how much he blamed FFXIV community for not wanting to play it, like something seems off there is lot of hateful people in all comunities but only that seems to stand out to him that it actually influences his choice to play a game wich he is so proud of never letting that happen, i look and i dont really see what makes FFXIV toxic side any special then i look back and realize latest complains came from a stream where he promised to play it then decided to stream 5 hours of chatting (which i dont mind i actually like it) and 1 hour of playing the game, so no wonder people got even more annoyed, anyways i just feel like whenever i hear him blaming the toxic comunity of FFXIV is kinda uncalled for as it puts a label on them or painting them as unpleasant to be around them. meh, w/e is just something i had on my mind trying to see it in a very neutral point of view i still like his content
I used to be a story skipper in FF14 before. Played all through Shadowbringers without watching a single cutscene. Then Asmon started playing. Figured I'd watch the story while he played since doing it all over seemed daunting. Then he finished heavensward and stopped. I was enjoying it so much I picked selected NG+ and made sure I got to the end of shadowbringers patch content before EW. Best decision I've ever made in 14. FF14 will be here for you when you want to play again, Asmon. And It. Will. Be. Glorious.
I was raiding in a static with VoidBunny when all of this was going on. As someone who watched asmon since HS it was so weird to know someone who kinda knew him. Got on the stream a couple times as a result. Good times.
I started playing this game in Stormblood, stopped in the middle of ARR, then came back when he and all the streamers played it. I haven't played since 6.1 but I hope Asmon goes back at some point to at least finish the MSQ in and up to 6.0. Would be so fun to watch again
Good times, I remember seeing Asmon going through most of this. I too haven't touched it in about 2 years. When that graphic update drops I'm 100% picking it back up, and most likely completing the main story.
Gotta say, it was great seeing him and alot of other people get into the game, i had alot of fun back then. Makes me wanna jump back in again but then i still have to grind gear ugh..
I genuinely enjoyed those streams, I had stopped playing wow at the time with everybody else and there was something special about everyone migrating over to ff14 and experiencing everything for the first time.. Endwalker and the finale of everything are some of the best gaming memories I have
I can't believe its been so long since you first played final fantasy. I remember that like it was yesterday. I think we got oceanic servers in Australia because of you.
Honestly don't think he'll ever touch this game again, but those streams ROCKED. I won't be completely hopeless, would love if he played again and at least finished the MSQ. But yknow lol

honestly some of asmons best streams were when he was deep into this game. I got round to finishing the msq recently and man it would be awesome to see his reactions to the later expansions. I will be waiting patiently as I have been since he quit.
Whenever he’s ready to return, we’ll be ready to welcome him.
He tried an yall made him quit though
He’s not coming back.
@@SheinelI it was his own wow community faking as ff community! he cought one them red handed after during the stream
@@dl_sep666 stop being in denial, it was all of em combined and the expectations. Wow player, FF player, they're the same
I thought the ff14 player base hated him
Honestly the Asmongold and the rest of the twitch streamers were why I started playing FF in the first place. And now it's been 2 years and it's kinda crazy just how much of an impact it had on me from them trying it out.
The mispronunciation of names and running with it until I forgot that Urianger was called Urianger and not Uberdanger, the min iLVL raids, how the community rallied around him to support him, the Golden Saucer and Chocobo races and just seeing Asmon have the best time were all such highlights. I know myself and many, many others would love to see him play again, but Asmon's happiness is absolutely what's most important and that a majority of his viewership will support him no matter content he decides to play and make. 😇🥰 (even if Y'shtola longs for his return 😩)
Lol :P
The smell of dr.pepper on the breeze :P
Y'shlotta awaits.
Some of my favorite memories were raiding and doing trials with Asmongold on FF XIV. Thoradan extreme no echo will always be one of my favorite memories. Taking him down with 2 people still alive. Such a nail bitter.
Discovered Asmon last year, watching him play FFXIV made me go back to the game after years on hiatus
I remember i started playing maybe a month before he did. It was awesome to be playing the game and watching him play as well. Especially seeing his reaction to the npcs and quests.
wiiiild. so much fun while it lasted. too bad we'll never get to see him react to the good parts
I mostly want Asmongold to experience the ending of the story he started. The best was still to come. And I started playing cause of asmongold in the first place. Never looked back and found a new home. Thanks asmon!
Much like Dark Souls, I think FFXIV redefined his content, his stream, and maybe even the way he views MMOs. Suddenly having to clear trash for half an hour before the boss seemed weird. Having to run back, eat, rebuff for half your raid time seemed excessive. Good storytelling and compelling character design weren't so unattainable. I also think it broke a wall, I don't think he'd have played Honkai, and maybe even Lost Ark without playing FFXIV first. It's a shame it comes with so much baggage for him and the community now. I really wish he'd made it to Shadowbringers, and Emet-Selch in particular.
This was his best content. Never bothered to watch him again with the same frequency ever since.
I will forever be thankful that Asmon started FF14. Because of that, I found the game... and so much joy within it.
How long would it take me to get into it and how much money would I need . Is it still popular
@@KingQuatto Incredibly popular. Endwalker has had a very high player retention rate. Game costs $40 bucks or so and you pay per expansion. Sub price is equalish to wow's (I don't remember the actual cost, I have a discount so idk). The game is still continuously growing.
Expect a slow burn of a story that gets better and better over time. I recommend taking time to doing the many side content that opens up at 50,60,70,80,90 (after you get to the credits in the main quest that is at those levels, NOT your character's current level), and ultimately going at your own pace. You'll catch up eventually. There's a lot of reading. It's very worth spending the time to do that.
Mentors are meme, but they're here to help. If you run dungeons with a mentor, you get a bonus in xp which is nice.
Feel free to reply if you have any more questions, I can answer stuff ingame or however
@@KingQuatto the free trial is free-to-play with no restrictions on playtime, and lets you play the base game and first two expansions.
I can't say how much time it'd take you to 'get into it', as that highly relies on what you're looking for and luck. I will say that, for a lot of people, the game's story is considered very good.
It is still very active. Queues are short, towns are full of players. We ARE in a content drought though, awaiting the next expansion release at the start of July.
To try the free trial, I recommend looking up a video on how to best do it. Account creation can be worse than any boss fight!
@@KingQuatto TBH it depends on your definition of "get into it". Doing the MSQ is recommended because FF is well known for its story telling. The story itself will take a long time, several months to complete. If you like story games, its an unforgettable experience.
The game is still popular, but in a lull phase because its right before a new xpac release. As for money, you can do a free trial all the way up until end of stormblood (2nd expansion), so you can start trying the story for free.
If you're doing it purely for endgame, there are a lot of hurdles in your way.
@@KingQuatto If you pay attention to and play through the story (MSQ) it will take around 300-400 hours currently. Depending on reading speed and other factors. If you skip everything you could be done in like 50-75 if I had to guess. Then you'd be at endgame which is a lull at the moment. Rushing would not help much. If you have any friends that play that can really help the journey through the game. Guide you to content of interest and jump in for major bosses and dungeons along the way.
The game is free to play all the way through it's second expansion, so if you're not sold on the game after playing through 200 hours worth of content to put money down, then not much else will convince you.
Dude...hes in the mid part i just hope he pulls through to at least blast through shadowbringers....ah well time to rewatch his Playlist and relive the good times
I still remember that guy who Asmon called Kabeeb. Every time he saw him, Kabeeb. I even completely forgot his real in game name and can only remember him now as Kabeeb.
I just bought this on Xbox a few days ago, loving it so far
Shadowbringers and Endwalker need to be experienced by all gamers.
I'm pretty confident that if he continues playing the game, he'll have more epic moments for us to live on.
14 just makes me happy i dont always play it but its home.
This was honestly peak Asmongold content for me, and I'm saying that as an eternal WoW-player (since 2005) that has never played a Final Fantasy game. I'm just waiting for that graphic update I heard about and then I'm diving in.
That drops with the new expac on june 28th which is slated to be the best expac ever cuz it has so muchhhhhh content
the graphics update does not change that much look it up , if you want to start i suggest you to start now and try to enjoy the game and finish endwalker before next expantion
@@msmaa5thing is yoship said rotations pn most jobs are getting completely changed not to mention 2 of em are getting a full rework so theyd have to relearn the jobs again depending how far along they are come dawntrail. That being said the nice thing about 14 is it doesnt matter when u start so they could go either way
@@msmaa5 yeah I've seen the comparisons so I know it's nothing major but I still think it makes a meaningful difference and hopefully the colors will pop a little better compared to the currently somewhat muted (in my opinion) color palette.
Hey its close to Dawntrail. Did you pre-order? Will you play? Youve promised it 2 months ago ..
For over 10 years this game (along with WoW too) has given me so many of my best gaming moments and memories. A huge highlight was watching Asmon play it through some of it. It was a spectacle of it's own that was like getting an expansion within an expansion. Beat the shit out of anything on Netflix at the time.
would be so fucking wild if you continued Playing!!!
The community aspect of this game is why it was so much fun watching the ff14 saga. There was so much asmonlore that was created in that span of time, that it actually felt like a journey with the msq being the driving force for it all.
It was also why he stopped, as a (well now, former) FFXIV player, the psychos pushed him away
@@YazzPott Nah bro
I don't know if you're new here, but Asmon has dealt with a lot of real piscopaths those years...
and he know how to deal with them.
nothing would make him stop if he didn't want to stop. is that simple.
stop trying to vilanize ppl for nothing.
he had a great time playing the game, the game community was super warm and respectful towards him
and everything can be rewatched in many hours of vods.
@@noisyguy4013asmon has said many times it was the FFXIV fanatics that turned him off the game
The 14 maniacs didn't understand why he would put 14 in his stream titles yet do 14 hours of reaction videos and never play the game. He can do what he wants but just take FF14 out of the stream title my guy. It's not rocket science that's click baiting a fanbase
It is such a shame we never got Eureka streams. The sniping wouldve been legendary
Would be so awesome if he came back to finish Stormblood and experience Shadowbringers and Endwalker. This video sparked a small hope in me.
All I wanna see is him complete msq... Him playing got me through the whole ass pandemic.
Walking down memory lane. It was super fun to watch him play FFXIV even though i could only catch bits and glimpses here and there. I do hope that one day he comes back to play the game again but even if he doesn't, so many memes and clips were made and we all had a good time. It was well worth it!
I am in tears rewatching all this, so emotional ride for him, He really looks so happy playing FFXIV. I just wanna see him in Shadowbringers, he will LOVE IT!! NO DOUBT! Plz Zack comeback to us! we miss you!
His FF14 although short was his best content ever.
I. Never. Forgot.
now that i think about it it always weirded me out how much he blamed FFXIV community for not wanting to play it, like something seems off there is lot of hateful people in all comunities but only that seems to stand out to him that it actually influences his choice to play a game wich he is so proud of never letting that happen, i look and i dont really see what makes FFXIV toxic side any special then i look back and realize latest complains came from a stream where he promised to play it then decided to stream 5 hours of chatting (which i dont mind i actually like it) and 1 hour of playing the game, so no wonder people got even more annoyed, anyways i just feel like whenever i hear him blaming the toxic comunity of FFXIV is kinda uncalled for as it puts a label on them or painting them as unpleasant to be around them.
meh, w/e is just something i had on my mind trying to see it in a very neutral point of view i still like his content
I used to be a story skipper in FF14 before. Played all through Shadowbringers without watching a single cutscene. Then Asmon started playing. Figured I'd watch the story while he played since doing it all over seemed daunting. Then he finished heavensward and stopped. I was enjoying it so much I picked selected NG+ and made sure I got to the end of shadowbringers patch content before EW. Best decision I've ever made in 14.
FF14 will be here for you when you want to play again, Asmon. And It. Will. Be. Glorious.
Ah, good memories... Asmon playing FFXIV was the reason I even got to know him. Would make me so happy to see him return for Dawntrail. :)
He is the only reason I got into the story, I would very much like for him to finish the rest, but I definitely understand if he doesn’t want to
I was raiding in a static with VoidBunny when all of this was going on. As someone who watched asmon since HS it was so weird to know someone who kinda knew him. Got on the stream a couple times as a result. Good times.
Thanks for introducing me to my favorite game Asmon, the streams were soo fun ^^
Limit Break moment was peak gaming.
I started playing this game in Stormblood, stopped in the middle of ARR, then came back when he and all the streamers played it.
I haven't played since 6.1 but I hope Asmon goes back at some point to at least finish the MSQ in and up to 6.0. Would be so fun to watch again
I would love to see him stream at least complete the Main Story Quest... I do think he would enjoy it a lot
Good times, I remember seeing Asmon going through most of this.
I too haven't touched it in about 2 years. When that graphic update drops I'm 100% picking it back up, and most likely completing the main story.
Im going through all these videos now, and its amazing. Normally i dont get into MMOs but i downloaded this immediately
shame he didn't even get to the best parts of the msq yet
Gotta say, it was great seeing him and alot of other people get into the game, i had alot of fun back then.
Makes me wanna jump back in again but then i still have to grind gear ugh..
Best content Asmon ever did, I loved it
In my opinion, this was peak asmongold. The vibes were so good and so strong. What a fucking ride.
Thank you Asmongold for introducing me to FF14! Its been the most fun I've ever had and I've made so many friends!
Zack. It is time to become the Warrior of Darkness.
He genuinely had such a fun time. I can only hope he comes back, he needs some wholesome content and excellent story nowadays.
Please come back!!!!
Edit: I have been watching his playthrough again.
Here is hoping he will eventually finish the storyline.
FFXIV even extended the Free Trail to include Stormblood.
I used to look forward to the ff14 streams every day, was some of my favorite content u ever did and it helped me though some really hard shit
Whenever Asmon says "It's been a long time", you know he's going to make another promise to play a game he never played.
I really want him to come back :(
I wish he’d play through Shadowbringers it’d be so amazing 😢
FF14 still rules if this man is going back to it.
I'm glad I saw all of this love ,seeing it now it's a smack of nostalgia
I hope from the bottom of my heart that he returns to this game again.. and I think that his return is very close because of this great video!❤❤❤
Damn I loved catching those streams, great times
I genuinely enjoyed those streams, I had stopped playing wow at the time with everybody else and there was something special about everyone migrating over to ff14 and experiencing everything for the first time.. Endwalker and the finale of everything are some of the best gaming memories I have
Man, watching Asmongold play the first two dlc on stream made me get into final fantasy 14
Never played the game, only watched your clips on RUclips... and I got goosebumps just watching this clip.
Actually, asmon is the reason I started playing FF14, and watching him playing it is the reason I became a regular watcher of his streams till now
Asmon's FFXIV streams were peak, too bad he was going through some hard times. I hope he can continue someday
This was my top 2 era of asmongold. I was there looking at his streams and videos 100%
I can't believe its been so long since you first played final fantasy. I remember that like it was yesterday. I think we got oceanic servers in Australia because of you.
Started playing FF because of Asmon. Still playing. Would love to see you continue the journey some day!
Honestly don't think he'll ever touch this game again, but those streams ROCKED.
I won't be completely hopeless, would love if he played again and at least finished the MSQ. But yknow lol
It was such a fun time to watch him play this game it makes me sad he hasn't been back to play it ;w;
I honestly miss Asmon playing FF , it was so innocent and entertaining lmao
all the world wants is for Asmon to play Shadowbringers
