Asmongold hits back at claims he \u2018quit\u2019 FFXIV in favor of Lost Ark Square Enix \/ Twitch: AsmongoldAsmongold hit back at claims that he \u2018quit\u2019 Final Fantasy XIV in favor of playing Lost Ark, insisting he stopped playing for other reasons but it isn\u2019t permanent and that he\u2019ll return at some point. The FFXIV community welcomed Asmon aboard with open arms when he started playing the game in 2021. The love was mutual too since the Twitch star often praised the community for being better than others. Asmon even claimed FFXIV had replaced World of Warcraft as the leader of MMOs at the time, which was a big call considering how much he\u2019s played it. However, things changed a little after Lost Ark released in February 2022. Some members of the community stopped looking at Asmon\u2019s FFXIV stint with rose-tinted glasses. They claimed he secretly hated the game, got paid to play it, and always seemed happier playing World of Warcraft. On March 30, they went crazy over claims he\u2019d quit the game, pointing out that he hasn\u2019t played in months since spending time on Lost Ark. Asmom took a moment to hit back on stream, admitting he has \u2018quit\u2019 but not for good. \u201cYou\u2019re right. I did quit Final Fantasy XIV,\u201d said Asmon. \u201cI stopped playing it. That\u2019s right. And do you know why? Imagine how much fun you would have playing World of Warcraft if you couldn\u2019t level past 35. \u201cImagine how pissed off you would be if the only thing that you could do was Ulduar. That\u2019s what it is. I can\u2019t play the rest of the f**king game because I need to do the main story quests onstream. That\u2019s what it is right now.\u201d So, it has less to do with Lost Ark and more to do with his feelings towards FFXIV. But that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019ll be gone for good. \u201cI\u2019ll come back to the game whenever I come back to the game. If people don\u2019t believe that, it is what it is.\u201d Read More: Asmongold shocked at New World player count – \u201cThat\u2019s all there is to it. I\u2019ll do it eventually I\u2019m going to play the game whenever I run out of other sh*t to do in other games. Obviously, that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do. Why would I not do that? That\u2019s the smart thing to do.\u201d Asmon has compared the two games on some metrics and concluded Lost Ark does some things better. For example, he believes Lost Ark\u2019s end-game content is superior to FFXIV\u2019s because it has more \u201clevels.\u201d Still, he assured fans that doesn\u2019t mean he suddenly \u2018hates\u2019 FFXIV, nor does it mean he\u2019s stopped playing for good. It\u2019s just not something he feels like playing right now, but that can change on a whim down the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
