Meanwhile, on Pat's Twitter in 2021: "I just finished playing one of the best games of my life"

How the times have changed. Pat won’t shut up about how much he loves ff14.

MMOs prove that "Hell is other people."

Oh, i totally agree with Liam and Pat, cooperating with other people is worst part in MMO's.

It's funny coming back to this after xiv added the trust system turning ARR into basically a single player rpg

I cannot believe Pat just wanted fucking Blue Mage

and here we are in 2022 and it's Pat's favorite game and he still acts like this with great games like Nioh 2.

It sounds like Pat wants to play Xenoblade Chronicles X. Massive world, engaging story, lots of quests, and all single player, aside from optional multiplayer with 0 bearing on the actual game. Or Witcher 3. Or FFXII. Or...

My favorite thing about Pat talking about playing with the FC and fans of SBFP and Woolie keeps asking about how "randoms are bad but these people are somehow better?" And not understanding when Pat says yes. Pat never says it but let's be real. When the FC was started and people joined it. They probably worked really really hard to be good at the game so as to not piss off Pat.

I see both sides on this, I like meeting other players in MMOS though. I tank mostly but I'm a patient person so I don't mind wipes and such.

"Other people are awesome."

i like how 75% of this is just pat since none of them play ffxiv(except liam?)

Going back to this clip today is wild

Pat, you've sold me...Now I wanna play FFXIV. :3

I wonder if Woolie will have this same exact conversation with Pat when he finally retires from Fighting Games.

Thanks for this! Could you also make a compilation of the times Pat talks about his Witcher 3 experiences?

You can solo the earlier dungeons now, I believe.

Can I play this game without going online?

Pat just wants to play SWTOR

Maybe it's because I never had to play on American servers, but the only reason I ever disliked playing WoW with other people was when players were too focused on power-gaming and bruteforced past sections of dungeons while ignoring the atmosphere. Maybe it's because Europeans players are just better at MMOs? Looking at WoW, the top guilds are mostly European and Asian, with just one or two American guilds. I can't imagine that it would be very different for Final Fantasy XIV.

5:24 what killed me for xenoblade

neverwinter covers the solo mmo genre

They want Two Worlds then

I do think MMO's should have an offline mode.

Pat complains that the guildhests made to teach new people have people who are learning and don't know how to play yet lol. Also fucking Ultros? No wonder bad people. Jump to Faerie good sir!

FFXIV has that bad Quest design. You should never tie dungeons to the main storyline, and if you do, you should make it possible for people to solo them. Blade & Soul is fantastic for that, there you can either play most dungeons solo or in a party. Not because I don't want to team up with people. But because i don't want to wait 30-60 minutes in a queue to finish a mandatory quest. That is bullshit.
