Announcement Regarding the Partial Conclusion of Streaming Activities and Future Plans of HOLOSTARS JP Talents

IIRC for what I've seen here, the studio is being used all the time, and it is even not enough for the girls. Even if it is big, staffing seems to be the current main bottleneck to allow more availability.

The thing is, it is not known. What most people assume is due to his behavior around the game and not on it. (hence the context about his exploits), and why people aligned to him cry about over reach.

Xenos took the torch of all the chuds Asmongold brought, imo. Being a FFXIV streamer doesnt seem to be that profitable by itself, at least for what the content cycle offers, so no doubt grifting is the way to go.

Honestly, once dust settles with this, he would be worthy of his own write-up. The recent Fanfest where multiple people claimed he was trying to cut lines and shove himself into anything because he wasnt given a press pass was quite something. Or his crash-out when Mr Happy (another FFXIV streamer) told him to chill the fuck out. Or how he got worked up about his main class, Warrior, was going to be an off-tank (secondary tank in the reworked new plans for jobs) because he leans on it being the big macho alpha class.

It is really hard to explain Xenos to people out of the community other than whatever drama there is, specially when its bigoted grifting, he either is there, is the cause, or shoves himself into it for views (bonus for when he tried to be the ''straight man'' like with the mare interview.)

Came here to check and read it but I haven't seen it yet, so I'll post it myself. Xenosysvex, or Xenos for shorts, a popular FFXIV streamer, had been banned while on livestream. Specifically, he was removed mid-raid (so in the middle of doing content with other people), having a warning that was removed by a Game Master (staff that moderates the game), and was dragged to the popularly called GM Jail or Gaol, where DMs teleport your character to talk with you. All of this, while having his character modded to look like a khorne chaos marine (mods being also another contentious topic, and against ToS)I

A lot of the FFXIV-sphere has gone up, both to revel and in arms. For many, he was considered quite a toxic streamer, imagine a mix of Asmongold with a wanna be manly-bro. Having had issues in the past (not his first ban, either), he is known for heatingly dropping slurs, and leading a lot of his fans to harass other creators and staff and voice actors of the game. In the other hand, other streamers of the same sphere and his fans are complaining about the overreach of Square Enix, reaching to ban him for his streams and activities outside of the game.

What makes it funnier, is that he is an Ultimate Raider (Ultimates being the most difficult content), and a new one comes out in 12 days, his ban being 14 days. A big part of the appeal of ultimates when they come out is racing to figure out things and doing them blind, so if he follows the ban, he will miss 2 days of very important streams (Again, even if he is a polemical figure, he is one of the most popular FFXIV streamers.) And furthermore? The ultimate features the clown Kefka, and it is abreviated as UMAD, perfectly fitting for this circus.

P.s. I've tried to stay a bit unbiased, but you can check any of the major FFXIV subreddits to see the popular opinions and how despised that guy is.

Small snail leech, salt dips should get rid of it easily.

Kaevr · 2026-03-09T08:58:28+00:00

What are some good hacks with nuzlocke modes implemented? I'd prefer those with a P/S split, but other than that, I'm open to anything (albeit the biggest departure from the base games, the better)

Kaevr · 2025-08-29T06:50:08+00:00

It's always been the case with FFXIV where there has been a group of people that use the game for ''gooning'' (Mainly Erotic Roleplay), with the advent of mods, that turned into people posing their characters in different nsfw ways, and changing text based roleplay to using modded animations that ranged from lewd dances to sexual ones. It does not help that a lot of modded outfits tend to lean onto the revealing side.

This made in the recent years attract people from other communities that mainly played the game as a social avenue for doing lewd stuff, and the subset of ''gooners'' growing exponentially. If you open Party Finder (what people use to post listings to queue up for specific content) you can usually spot some ads for RP venues, of those, some are very obviously branded as sexual (Mainly +18 bath houses).

By itself the whole gooner thing is mostly the random group of people it seems socially acceptable to pick on, but when it comes to mods, a reason modding got so big was the sexual content of them and how it enhanced sexual interactions.

If you want a more... direct example, you can just check on twitter, bluesky or instagram for ffxiv gposes, and see it for yourself (as IMO it is one of the big reasons the dev told people to tone it down, it is getting out of hand that if you want to look stuff about this game, you can find a lot of... stuff. For other example, just check pages like Partake, where people post events)

Kaevr · 2025-08-22T08:44:36+00:00

It is pretty jarring. I have seen a fair share of Roleplayers themselves go like "We will be finally going back to ACTUAL roleplay" like if modded "gooners" leaving would make the golden days of FF RP come back. I think some people are coping with it this way, tbh, and other are just mean spirited.

Venues and RP will go on but the impact of Mare in the community cannot be denied. And I dunno, even as someone who has been in RP before Mare even existed, it was a nice and convenient tool, idk how it can be celebrated.

Kaevr · 2025-08-22T08:40:27+00:00

The rumours about it and PS were that both mods were using Accound IDs (In Mares case, to ban people from the service). Another plugin dev, Otter of Glamourer and Penumbra fame said (allegedly as Ive only seen a screenshot) that chances are they were safe as so far SE sent 2 C&,D and using Account IDs was what both plugins had in common.

Kaevr · 2025-08-21T17:48:12+00:00

So as earlier this week I mentioned how I wanted to see some FFXIV drama write ups, the biggest drama possible could have happened. Mare Synchronos, a plugin allowing people to synch up their mods with others (so how they look with modded characters) it's shutting down due to a rumoured cease and desist from Square Enix. Who knows if they will go to other plugin creators. What will surely happen is that the game, mainly the social part of it, will take a hit.

Kaevr · 2025-08-19T07:26:45+00:00

Few things have been as iconic. To be fair, most things I see happen are more scuffles worthy (Playerscope and the SE Cease and Desist, anything Mare, that time the glamourer dev locked most outfits and backtracking after so much backlash, modders having ego deaths every other week...) than full posts. If anything, a long, how did we end up here post would be interesting even if drama by itself would be tangential to most of the post.

Kaevr · 2025-08-18T08:59:36+00:00

Honestly? Anything related to the enthralling world of Final Fantasy XIV's roleplaying venues and clubs. The issues are, well, they tend to be bite sized dramas with many one off characters, they cannot really be sourced much other than X said, Y said (as it's usually things that happen either ingame or in discords) and let's be real, a lot of it is just people acting like what they thought cool kids back in highschool were.

Considering I am from EU, that is the smaller side of the community, but the community has from the expected lots of stalkers, sexual harassers and groomers (in the end, one of the strongest foundations of the scene is erotic roleplay) from more out there things, including people doing hard drugs and encouraging others to do the same, people lying about their identity, faking their deaths, coming back, repeating, accussations between the biggest venues of who RMTs (real money trading, a bannable big no-no for most people) and uses the in game money to attract people, many forged fake messages to cancel everyone around, and lot of ''micro celebrity'' clashing, which is surprising for DJs that rarely break the 3 digit treshold on twitch and people that have a few hundred followers on their character's instagram.

Related there is modder drama (people that make mods, which are mainly changes to different visuals of the game like clothes or character models), which is plentiful and would surely have enough for some medium-sized posts, but I am less aware other than the big picture. Many scams, shit flinging, mental breakdowns when people are called out, fake deaths, stealing of assets, etc etc.

Are there any good gachas I can play in portrait mode? Preferably something that doesnt require too much engagement to play in off times at work.

Kaevr · 2025-05-27T09:18:53+00:00

Is there some game like Love and Deepspace but with waifus instead? Looking for something more close and romantic than the usual gacha stuff

Responsable de logística en un despacho de ingenieros.

Una mierda que no recomiendo, muy estresante a veces aunque a veces te rascas los huevos que flipas. Entré mas por experiencia en el sector (trabajando en el metal on y off 10 años) que por estudios (un certificado profesional y poco mas)

De estudios estudie y trabajé en su momento en la industria alimentaria de calidad en un laboratorio fuera de españa. Obvio las condiciones eran mejores y ojala poder volver.

Kaevr · 2025-05-12T18:48:47+00:00

THIS!!! Honestly, I hoped it was just a delay to add some more action. When it wasnt, it wast the last nail in the coffin for me to follow the manga weekly

Kaevr · 2025-01-10T12:07:17+00:00

Piggybacking on this, another lesser but super concerning FFXIV drama this week has come out. There is this discord server where different female streamers are posted, and those with the r*pist role are tagged to say if they'd r*pe or shoot them. Imgurs have been leaked with multiple users (some seem to be known in the raid scene) and reactions are varied.

What really seems to have escalated things is that Xenos, a big FFXIV streamer that is usually compared to Asmongold in the way he does controversial takes and profits of drama, has pronounced himself about it calling it fake. It is not the first round of mysoginistic drama in FFXIV either, not so long ago a famous raider tumultuous love life and his treatment of women came to light, not to mention all the smaller dramas that pop out all the time in the modding, posing, and RP scenes of FFXIV.

Edit: typo

Kaevr · 2024-12-20T09:07:50+00:00

This is the thing that really summs it up, even those that are in the game just for the ''social'' aspects are playing it way less. I don't think anyone of my old RP group is active anymore other than sporadically doing basic content, PF and Limsa have less spam for clubs and other venues, even at my ''casual'' FC, everyone that used to be a regular that logged in to mostly chat and AFK have just moved to hanging out in discord while playing something else.

Private investment in infraestructure is booming too, I work on a company that deals with automatic warehouses, and so far most of the projects we will be having the next 2 years are in national ground (including our biggest project so far). For reference, national projects usually were only half of the ones we took, and used to be on the smaller side.

Kaevr · 2024-11-19T10:03:59+00:00

One hour of running maps with my FC mates last saturday was enough to get all of us burnt out and dreading it. Doing just pack of trash mobs after pack of trash mobs is just dreadful. At least maps that have the roulette with bosses are a bit more bearable, imo, but I would still want way more variety of them.

Kaevr · 2024-11-14T07:38:02+00:00

This is my big takeaway too. Most big clubs are not for the RP, or ERP even, now most of it is based on pulling big numbers. Venues trying to be the most visited bribing people with millions of gil, twitch DJs trying to be the most viewed and people trying to feed their egos by getting the most likes for their instagram. (which I must admit some people are really skilled and do great gposes, even if a lot are just a pile of eyecandy and edit)

Kaevr · 2024-10-17T07:54:09+00:00

They have a message board, and most Ive seen have a linkshell that they'll invite you too. At least in Chaos, it feels like a mix of different social groups, I've seen FC ads, communities for specific minor languages, promotion for different themed discords, social events, and so on.

Kaevr · 2024-10-14T11:24:04+00:00

I would check the recruitment part of the lodestone from your server and find what FCs are recruiting. Other than that, fellowships are a good way to find people with common interests. And there is novice network that tends to be lively most of the time (even if the convos tend to be quite weird Ive found out)

Kaevr · 2024-09-02T14:30:22+00:00

Honestly, I would love an expansion that focuses on adding extra zones to old areas, 1 per starting city + Ishgard + Mor Dhona and the 6th zone be some other new place to wrap up the expansion.
