Will Asmongold Quit Final Fantasy 14?

Asmongold, a Twitch streamer, recently triumphantly returned to Final Fantasy 14. Despite originally being one of the faces behind the MMO’s popularity spike, Asmongold took a significant vacation from it.

However, he has since found the motivation (or a gap in other content) to return. Nevertheless, Asmongold’s comeback to Final Fantasy 14 is already in danger of failing. The Twitch streamer recently warned his viewers that if they didn’t behave themselves, he might even stop playing Final Fantasy 14.

Asmongold doesn’t want violent Final Fantasy 14 fans to once again take over his Twitch stream and his community. When Asmongold visited the official subreddit of his Twitch channel, a sizable amount of Final Fantasy 14 content had taken its place. Then, Asmongold clarifies that this is just one illustration of how Final Fantasy 14 fans wreak havoc, adding that they frequently become irate in his community if he isn’t playing. Asmongold describes the problem as “very constraining,” since it can get out of hand and soon everything he does is viewed and judged through a Final Fantasy 14 perspective.

Naturally, it won’t alter the type of content Asmongold creates because it won’t alter his behavior. However, as Asmongold points out, it generates two possible outcomes. Either Asmongold acts as he pleases and the community is happy about it, or Asmongold acts as he pleases and the community is upset and hostile. Asmongold believes Final Fantasy 14 goes more toward the second possibility.

Asmongold isn’t currently deciding to stop playing Final Fantasy 14, but his threat to do so seems extremely sincere. Asmongold may very simply find anything else to do if the community can’t remain upbeat and see there’s more to his channel than the MMO. The peculiar thing about the circumstance is that, according to Asmongold, it only occurs with Final Fantasy 14. It’s strange that Final Fantasy 14 gets this kind of cloying criticism for a Twitch streamer who has had success playing a variety of games, such as World of Warcraft or even Diablo Immortal. It’s particularly strange considering the pleasant, helpful, and friendly community that Final Fantasy 14 is known for. 

Regardless of the decisions made by his community, it is safe to assume that Asmongold won’t be playing Final Fantasy 14 as frequently as he once did. The Let’s Chat streaming, response videos, and “Flavor of the Week” gaming streams have helped the Twitch streamer reach a new level of success. It’s equally possible that something fresh will appear and capture Asmongold’s interest.

Asmongold viewers of Final Fantasy 14 should be upbeat and take advantage of the streams while they last because that is just how Twitch works.
