You can make your kitty avatar so hot in game.

Funny if true when all these companies trying to cave to body positivity and stuff but we all just want a fantasy of being attractive.

I'm just wondering what the appeal is.

Or appeal of anyone who can convince thousands of people to spend their money on something blindly using youtube videos...

I did, but I alternate the genders of my created characters. I made a dude in Nioh 2, and so in accord with da rules, I made a cat girl in FFXIV.

FFXIV is every furry's wet dream. You can't put tails and cat ears on girls and not expect the masses to flock towards them.

From what I've seen and heard ffxiv actually has a pretty large female player base though.

It has a very large female playerbase, but this is still a generalization.

What is your issue with him? He is pretty much as close as an objectively great streamer you can get. The way he can continue to hold a conversation with just himself is a unique talent.

I have no issue with him, I would just never use "amazing" to describe him. He drinks Dr Pepper and reacts to chat. Yes he knows a lot about WoW, but I would too if it was my whole life.

honestly I've been watching him play FFXIV the past few days and he's pretty fucking funny, it's like he can be a dick but he's also sort of nice at the same time, also quite eloquent

I dunno I think it's high level entertainment to me

Alright thanks. Everyone on the FFXIV subreddit is like "this guy's a douchebag we don't want his follower base in our game" so idk I just thought he was one of those loud obnoxious POS.

Asmongold thinks most FFXIV players are female
There's a real possibility more female players have jumped to playing that game now compared to WoW. He's probably aware of that and was making a joke of it (he knows some female characters are played by dudes). However, anyone who's played a multitude of online games knows what features attract female players the most.

Lady gamers have a tendency to favor games where you can beautify (dress-up) the character, especially in games where it's not made into a grinding challenge to do that. Many Asian-sourced online games have known (and banked on) this for a couple decades now. Much like how many male gamers "pump up" their male avatars into a fierce looking macho warlord (regardless of class), a large portion of female gamers WANT to glamorize their avatars into a demigoddess that's "pretty, sexy, cute, or all of the above". FF14 offers that pretty well, partly because most of the playable races are "humanized".

Basically the more "pretty" customizations a popular online multiplayer game offers, the significantly higher chance of luring in female gamers (and keeping them). A long-going joke about WoW over the years was the noticeable gender gap between the Alliance and the Horde. More female gamers had a higher tendency to pick the Alliance as their first choice because the faction fit closer to what many of them considered "norm cute", while the Horde looked more like a band of ugly mutant misfits by comparison. The fact that the Alliance offered the Human race as a selectable option made THAT big of an impact in their preferences (it was familiar). Alliance also offered an assortment of alternate races that were basically just other flavors of humans and could have similar appeal. By comparison, not a lot of female gamers were racing to play a goblin, troll, orc, or giant cow woman on Horde...

WoW has retained it's trademark cartoony appearance over the years (along with faction race restrictions), while FF14 looks more like playable anime with an adult tone. And while WoW offers a huge system of collectable appearance items to work for, FF14 offers flat out actual fashion pieces (relatable to real-life outfits) which has become a popular staple in other Asian-sourced games. Guess which system the lady gamers tend to prefer...

So while Asmongold's commentary might have been a comical generalization, anyone suspecting that FF14 has some appeal to female gamers is paying attention.

@Dorfmann_ You're on Cactuar as well? As am I. I don't know if you've seen me though, but I play a character named Cactuar Daddy. I'm usually in Novice Network

They hate him because he tells the truth and he doesnt sidestep issues or mince words.

I see this in my kids. For the most part they like the same games and my daughter is always looking to pick the prettiest skins or make the most beautiful characters where as my son tries to make them look badass. The mine craft building they make together are an amalgamation of both and tend to look... interesting.
