Asmongold concerned WoW-style stat change for FFXIV: Endwalker could end in \u201cdisaster\u201d Asmongold\/Square EnixAsmongold shared skepticism about the upcoming FFXIV: Endwalker \u201cstat squish,\u201d that seems similar to bad experiences he\u2019s had before in World of Warcraft. Asmongold\u2019s adventure into FFXIV has been explosive. His very first stream of the game on July 4 netted him over $30k, and since then, his FFXIV streams have seen crazy viewership numbers. With the upcoming release of expansion Endwalker, there\u2019s one specific change that Asmongold is preaching caution about. Endwalker stat squish Asmongold was watching YouTuber Zepla\u2019s \u201cThings To Do BEFORE Endwalker in FFXIV!\u201d video, where she outlined what players should spend their time doing before the expansion hits live servers. She mentions the upcoming \u201cstat squish\u201d where FFXIV will undergo a downscaling of all numbers in the game across the board. Zepla mentions that FFXIV will give players a buff to compensate for the stat squish and Asmongold says, \u201cThis is exactly what happened in WoW and WoD (Warlords of Draenor), they scaled everything down and they added a buff, and then sometimes the buff wouldn\u2019t work. It was so\u2026 some fights got harder, some got easier. It was just really, really f**king dumb. I hope that doesn\u2019t happen with Final Fantasy.\u201d Responding to a chat message that said \u201cDisaster incoming\u201d Asmon responded, \u201cYeah, we\u2019ll see.\u201d Timestamp at 1:14 for mobile viewers. Asmon, who\u2019s been playing and streaming WoW for years, has experience with stat squishes before like he mentioned in Warlords of Draenor, which probably fuels his skepticism on the mechanic. Hopefully for him, and FFXIV players across the board, Square Enix handles the squish correctly so players don\u2019t have an unpleasant time once Endwalker releases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
