Over the last few years, Shroud has made waves on the internet for being an absolute god when it comes to shooter games as he\u2019s dominated everything from Call of Duty to PUBG and back again. Though, the former Counter-Strike star isn\u2019t just all about popping headshots. He\u2019s also obsessed with MMO\u2019s, as he\u2019s spent days on stream grinding through the likes of World of Warcraft and Amazon Games\u2019 New World. With complaints about both WoW and New World stacking up from MMO fans, many of them have switched to Final Fantasy XIV online and made that their game of choice. However, Shroud has yet to do so. Shroud\u2019s biggest issue with Final Fantasy 14 Though he has dipped his toe into the world of Final Fantasy Online, the Canadian hasn\u2019t taken to it as much as the likes of Asmongold and Summit1g have. Responding to fan questions about him playing Square Enix\u2019s MMO, Shroud said: \u201cHave you tried Final Fantasy 14? Yeah, I have. I can\u2019t get into it. It\u2019s so free-to-play that it hurts.\u201d That \u2018free-to-play\u2019 comment left some fans asking for a bit more context, which he delivered a little later. \u201cWhat does that even mean? Just how it looks. It\u2019s visuals, UI, gameplay, it\u2019s just something from like over a decade ago you know that hasn\u2019t changed. It hasn\u2019t updated, gotten with the times, it has just stayed the same,\u201d Shroud added. Naturally, some viewers disagreed with his take, but it seems like Shroud has already made his mind up. Many more MMO fans have been diving into the world of Final Fantasy following the release of Endwalker, causing insane queue times each day. Though, don\u2019t expect to see Shroud joining them any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud explains why he\u2019s not streaming FFXIV Online like everyone else Shroud\/Square EnixTwitch star Michael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek has explained why he\u2019s not made Final Fantasy 14 his main game like other streamers, complaining it feels a bit too \u201cfree-to-play\u201d as a whole.
