I swear Im starting to believe for every level up he does in his brd, is 1 weeks worth of talks.

By the time he's done with ARR, we'll be in 7.0

The fat black chocobo... Now that I know it's possible to do the entire FFXIV tagged space, Square Enix should have done that. (1) We wouldn't have had this preferential looking treatment. (2) It would have made non-14 streamers try to get in on it thus getting more exposure to the game. _I don't think their audience would gift too many extra subs because they wouldn't care about getting a chocobo._ (3) The larger streamers, if they don't need the income, could have gotten a PR boost by choosing 3-4 smaller streamers and said _"Go there and gift subs! Help our smaller community members that need it!"_ Because honestly the number of fat chocobos given out isn't really going to change. The people who want it are going to gift the subs to get it. And that number is finite. The only difference would be is where the money is piling up.

For the small few people eluding to racism from the Fat Black Chocobo being given from KFC or thinking the "Greens" are a watermelon...stop

Sounds like they were just giving out a fat chicken for eating a fat amount of chicken. Especially since the yellow ones already come from ARR CE and an achievement in-game. While the white one is meant to be special/rare.

"yes it is chasing a watermelon." Was it ever chasing a watermelon? Because I've only ever seen it with giriboshi greens like the other chocobos

I disagree about non-14 players coming into the directory JUST to get gift subs. If their audience doesn't care about Final Fantasy XIV why would they bother to gift 4 subs to get a mount they'll never use? I keep seeing all these Twitch offers or Alienware arena offers for free stuff in games I don't play. It's FREE and I still don't bother.

Seriously...China did a promotion for a Big Black Chocobo that you could earn by eating a bunch of fried chicken? I feel like there are more layers to that one that have little to do with FFXIV...

There are a ton of reasons why they couldn't activate the promotion to the whole category (as it would attract people only interested in the money rather than the game) and it makes sense they prioritized bigger streamers and ones that are known to not be problematic. I think it was a stroke of genius on SE's part and they still managed to support quite a few smaller streamers that get 100 or so viewers. Overall I would call it a big success and I'd be surprised if they didn't do something similar for Endwalker or even sooner.

Could it be improved? Sure - maybe they could handpick streamers like they did this time while also activating something category-wide that lets people that have streamed FFXIV for X hours in the past few months get in on the promotion. That way all dedicated streamers of the game get to partecipate, people only interested in the money get shafted, and SE can still handpick some creators from other MMOs that have shown interest in FFXIV to attract attention from other communities.
