FFXIV Purity Test Is Making Me NERVOUS

My Twitch chat made me take the Final Fantasty 14 purity test while we were waiting for the Dawntrail launch...
I'm a former roleplayer in FF14 so what can go wrong, right?

15:50 "Have you ever told a sprout misleading info for memes" It was tradition to share misleading information in Cape Westwind.

[@avycatte]

I miss that trial 😭

[@markup6394]

@@avycatte Same... ^^°

[@adondriel]

everyone always made sure to tell the sprouts "this one is the hardest one ever! ugh i hate it!" only for it to end in 10 seconds, lol.

[@KjPOPsicle]

I completely forgot about this, but yes it was the first 8man trial and we used to drop markers and shit to spook them.

[@frankbrodie5168]

I've seen a wipe on Cape Westwind in my time. And I don't mean right back when it was new either. Like a year or so before they removed/changed that battle. I'm with others commenting here that I miss seeing that come up on trial roulette. Was always a bonus.

[@RedSoulVnT]

13:12 "Have you ever fantasized about either your own character or a story character?", and then she stares at the cardboard Emet-Selch behind her. That had me in tears. Hahahah 🤣

[@AraiiarA]

According to this test I am pure by default just because I play on PlayStation.

[@kelvinhernandez966]

Same. Same.

[@raphathekid]

PS4 here, when free login is on the way. GODDAM i never seen Ul'dah so full of peeps D: Wish my server HAD the same! I play on Hyperion >D I dislike Lominsa, is too overrated to me

[@williek08472]

All of the parsing stuff was completely alien to me, and I'm a PC player

[@unixtreme]

That's the only part in any familiar with lol.

[@normalmighty]

Yeah lol, the opening disclaimer wasn't kidding about it being heavily focused on raiding. I haven't touched half the extremes in the game, and most of that first tab was crap I didn't even understand lol Someone needs to make one aimed at RPers

[@ramirezthesilvite]

"I forgot there was a butt on my screen." lol

[@Jeezes718]

As a Playstation player, i am apparently pure by default. As an Irish/Scottish piss goblin, i know otherwise.

[@Arekiris]

Console players can still participate in ERP. Not saying you do, but being on PS shouldn't make you innocent by *default*.

[@plutonash2545]

​@@ArekirisI imagine its very awkward

[@Wolfkin1983]

@@Arekiris Allot of modders have a gate keeper attitude toward console, so it's not surprising this "test" is very PC leaning. But anyone who works on GPOSE regularly knows how easy it is to "steal bones". So the platform you are on doesn't really matter at all. In lamens terms, if you don't mod someone else can do it for you and share what they see.

[@Zingdo]

So much Impurity and Innocence in one spot

[@valkyriebait136]

I still remember that time Avy came into our RP venue, a long time ago, in a purer age. She was a good egg.

[@frankbrodie5168]

I'm 8 years subscribed but would still consider myself uber uber casual. I literally just play to press the buttons. Unlike FFXI I've never ever felt the need to install any plugins on FFXIV. FFXI was borderline unplayable for me without Windower. Even when the game finally had a windowed mode added it was about 1/10th as useful as Windower. And the /distance plugin was EXTREMELY useful in that game. Same with ambient lighting plugin. FFXIV just seems to work ok in vanilla for me. Same with Minecraft. I'm happy with it 'out of the box.' (another game I play just for the joy of pressing the buttons repeatedly.)

[@Medbread]

the balmung quicksand one is unfair. I started in Ul'dah Balmung homeworld ;-;

[@PringlePowerr]

😆"But yeah, whoa!" @ 22:06

[@termocaos2812]

The funny part about ACT showing in a screenshot from YoshiP is funny to me because no one talked about Anamnesis. XD

[@Densoro]

9:31 Yeah I’m colorblind so there are some UI elements I literally cannot see in vanilla. 20:37 I once met a ranged DPS who tried to solo hallways before the tank got there, died, caused us to wipe, wasted her LB on a pack of four normal mobs, and flamed my friends and I when we asked her to stay with the party. When we posted receipts in our discord server, our friend recognized the character name and said, ‘Oh god you met x, I’m so sorry.’

[@richter0139]

It's always fun to see AvyCattle doing something funny lol

[@GashBuss]

Nice to find you in last Saturday Lala Parade! Also, I'm a new player, I don't know what is almost all these mods.

[@jimdale9143]

Your videos are always fun to watch. Thank you!

[@Dzyntara]

The purity test was so boring for me because I just don't use mods and I'm not a dick to people in roulettes. I'm feeling like an NPC

[@frankbrodie5168]

Same here with the ACT thing. I tried it for maybe a couple of days. All I ascertained from it was that tanks can out dps actual dps jobs in guildhests. I don't do ANYTHING regarding late game stuff like savage etc. etc. I only do the stupid dungeons for MSQ progression tbh. So I absolutely am not the target audience for ACT to be fair.

[@zacharyresnick3414]

PS4/5 players so pure

[@greatestcait]

I got a 94/100, just playing on Playstation and not being able to mod counts for a lot I guess.

[@JasonLudeli]

Decided to take the test myself before watching and I'm surprised I was like a 96/100. My main sin being automated crafting.. I used to craft for days w/o doing anything else and I think I would have quit because of how soul sucking crafting was for me.. It being automated to an extent lets me focus on actually doing the MSQ instead of being a craft addict..

[@HildeTheOkayish]

about automarkers. maybe you could have seen them if you have tried uwu. many pf parties use them for the gaols with titan. where each player is quickly given a number to show which order they have to stand in. that's the only place I've seen them. I'm sure they are used in other places as well but for uwu it almost seems to be the default

[@JoseSoulitario]

12:55 Oh yeah I'm sure it was A LOT of fun they were having ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@lyconxero457]

It was very quick in the video but I just wanted to say that your voice is definitely NOT annoying.

[@molovesmusic567]

i dont understand parsing at all! i may install it out of curiosity, but also I plan to do the upcoming Ultimate, but I don’t know if i’ll even use it to help me

[@hazardyoutube1121]

there are alot of houses on crystal bryn if you check :)

[@MCJhanra]

*coughs* ok... I always heal as I am the only healer even when there's another healer...

[@Morgan-rl5bt]

that ending tho xD

[@ryanabernathy7821]

As someone who started on Balmung and moved to Mateus, yeah...

[@84elmer]

68/100 ... you were so close to perfection...

[@Dylamn]

Fr if there's any mod I would get, it's the one that lets Viera wear hats. The new Job Gear for 7.0 isn't giving me much hope for bunny-friendly hats, but I'm a patient man, so I'll wait to determine if it's modding time.

[@animeniac2]

pssst. judgin' you a lil bit. also hi from seraph garden! owo

[@25Leprechaun]

The more i watch AvyCatte the more I realize if she played World of Warcraft she'd prob be on Moon Guard if on the US servers or Argent Dawn if EU.

[@walterkrueger5947]

I got a 93 mostly from trying mods a month ago.

[@HungryWako]

perfect ending to the video XD

[@IdyllshireGoblin]

i had 82 (i play since about 2 years). my boydriend 72 and he plays since beta

[@Shuhannazy]

It's okay, as a role player and a raider I got a 44 *cries*

[@Nairu112]

just took the test and apparently im 100% pure which isnt a surprise since I'm new but i cant imagine anyone saying yes to a lot of these, they either seem really mean or just... well... perverse.

[@seselis625]

How many times do you have to say "don't tell Yoshi-P" in order to summon him?

[@Starscall]

Got an 84. I've... yet to do any raiding. I've only just started the Endwalker story and hit 1 year of playing the game. But I'm also a retired Court, so I expected it to be worse than it was, honestly. Heh.

[@iceman3317]

I made an 87... honestly the most thing was graphics ect..... Half the stuff was about raiding which I barely do. I don't even know what a prog is lol.

[@WGSXFrank]

What an absolutely perfect ending lmao

[@ajp1282]

Does the test apply if you're a console player? 🤔🤔🤔

[@Kate-ms2mn]

you can take the test, but your innate purity will show

[@lordmetallium9678]

my score was 92% and it still sucks is a trap.

[@raphathekid]

As a main Pally, i cherish doing Mechanics correctly before DPS race or any shit like that >D If you're mashing the buttons and following your role faithfully, then nothing is wrong with your gameplay. Wipe is expected, giving up is a choice (that i don't opt to). 'Cause Savage duties are meant to be hard, so it's only normal >D But geez, i never seen anyone asking to restart the fight because haven't crited fast, that's totally DUMB XD

[@WGSXFrank]

I got a 76/100, which is shocking considering ive worked at a (non-erp) 18+ venue and do standard roleplay. Not cheating at raiding counts for a lot in this test xD

[@markup6394]

84 😎

[@DeathbyDawn141]

WOOOO 86% PURE.... I'm kinda stanky

[@bickieeeeee]

i've been playing for like a year and a half and i got a 95 (probably because i play vanilla lol)

[@niapri]

Holy cow, some of the PF/DF/raiding questions....what is wrong with some people? 😢

[@gothicshark]

I think I got a fairly high score, just because I don't used mods, never have, my only hits are I RP at times. 91/100.

[@stacyrubel2632]

I got an 82/100. I feel like I am too nice now and I follow too many rules lol. I need to up my game in terms of being an asshole, because I am too scared of doing something that will get me in trouble or banned, so no mods for me lol.

[@Richterdgf]

Just took the test, scored 90/100.

[@SyvexDilecta]

you can clearly tell the person who made this test isnt logging very high edit: nvm wrote the comment too early into the vid

[@Shuhannazy]

why do you think that lol idk who made it but i did take the test lol

[@SyvexDilecta]

@@Shuhannazy my bad fam, i wrote that comment too early into the video and it looked like the whole test is just about fflogs

[@Shuhannazy]

@@SyvexDilecta oh I gotcha, yeah I thought that at first too but then was like oh its about like all the things XD well shit

[@vincentbeton]

What do you mean you forgot, has it been there the whole time while you took the test? xD

[@aggie9707]

"its so easy to make money in this game" was that sarcasm or am i just stupid

[@MrLightlike78]

I find it much easier than some other games. If you want an easy gil farm you can buy dyes from a merchant in limsa lominsa on hawkers alley and resell on the market board for an inflated price. That's what I did when I first started. If you have access to bozja try joining farm parties- you can resell a lot of the fragments for bunches of gil. If you like gambling...get to eureka pagos and start tracking king arthro and cassie through eorzean weather- they are on 2hr timers crab is fog cassie is blizzard...these two have a chance to drop items that sell for MILLIONS. Happy hunting!

[@AlexanderFrost]

Took the test, 97/100. Am pure baby, apparently. XD

[@ufuktanguzel1478]

İçeriklerin çok akıcı ve başarılı!

[@avycatte]

Tesekkurler!

[@frankbrodie5168]

Back in the days of FFXI I've quit an actual Linkshell because high ranking members of that linkshell were whining about me dual-boxing and having my own WHM/75 (at that level cap) outside party healer to keep my character alive. Like it was actually affecting them? All right, when I was tanking with a PL healer, it could make the party healer somewhat superflous. But who cares really? Let them all leech the exp as far as I was concerned. I now have the voice in my head of Megan from 'Dead Pixels' crying out to the noobs in Kingdom Scrolls, "You're playing it WRONG!" lol

[@ksmetdogan3101]

❤

[@jamierose9095]

I got a 94 on this. Apparently I am a boring person.

[@GatheredMyst]

As a roleplayer myself, I honestly find the use of mods detracts from my experience more than it enhances it. Mare politics is a thing, and I started picking glams based on what I could mod. Don't blame you at all for stopping. It's just easier to play and roleplay in the game without them. ~ZJ

[@chrisrounds1242]

I just try to stay away from that stuff. I just like to play and stay from reality and polls. Besides that I do like your outfit and hairstyle. It looks like Metreon is taking over Ryne position as the Oracle. Or it could be the other way around. It does not matter. I just like your cute outfit. Stay safe.

[@sketchtheparadigmyork1217]

I’m surprised people on 14 can actually be toxic. This is really sweaty behavior. (Probably the people who have been afk for years seemingly never moving)

[@Wrathura]

How could you take this test and not link it? Blasphemy!

[@jonovah]

Mare (つ ͡ꈍ ͜ʖ̫ ͡ꈍ )

[@EtherealRune]

Not surprised this is coming from Lost Ark. And really, can't blame the playerbase; gotta blame the devs - They designed the game this way. Nobody wants to waste 50 minutes of wasted attempts if you can instead increase your chances by using parse-plug-ins. Don't get me wrong, I hate sweaty people like that, but it's ultimately not their fault.

[@iceman3317]

It kinda is. You don't have to waste '50 minutes' on failing mechanics. I don't use any add ons or anything and the only time anything has ever taken that long is on the 2dn Trial Boss of EW. You don't have to be amazing to finish a trial or raid. Most things are blown through now a days. The entire point of the harder difficulties is because it is difficult. And anyone who uses mods for PVE or PVP specifically heavily I hope gets banned in the future.

[@bl00dm0urne]

But I thought the golden rule in any MMORPG is "Stand in fire, numbers go higher!"? :3

[@EtherealRune]

@@iceman3317 It's unfortunately not that simple. The harder content offers better loot in a shorter amount of time. I agree with the sentiment that difficult content is supposed to be difficult for a reason, but with people being eager to get their stuff done quickly they also started to gatekeep, which in turn makes people to look for efficient methods to clear those raids or to be part of those raids to begin with. The situation in LA is pretty dire in that regard, the 'New Player'-experience is basically non-existent as soon as you approach "End-game" because you will have a rough time to get a party without "most optimal gear". But that's a different can of worms by itself.

[@LordKhuzdul]

"Pull the boss while a sprout is watching a cutscene". Toto Rak exists, so that is a yes for everyone by default. Don't be shy, we all know you did it.

[@Jake38nine]

Why are you embarrassed about being an RP'er and then feel ashamed for having spicy mods, but then don't do NSFW RP? Something doesn't add up here... You got in trouble for advertising in the "Wrong" PF? Someone must've reported you and they take they game far too seriously and need to touch grass. The GM should also jail the person who reported you. And if the GM jailed you with no report, then that GM needs to touch grass. That's such a terrible reason to jail someone. While SE won't jail and suspend all these World's First streamers and raiders who use cheating mods. And anyone who uses parsing mods should also be suspended. You don't need them. It makes the game worse for everyone else. Just suspend people who use them. Aesthetic mods don't matter because it doesn't affect anyone else's experience. But people take raiding FAR too seriously. Sorry, I'm not going to take a game so serious that I have people stressing me out. It's not a job. You want to stress me out? Pay me. $100 per hour. Raiding isn't worth the stress. People who take raiding that seriously and treat it like a job literally need to go touch grass for a month with nothing but the clothes on their back. They need a nature vacation away from civilization and technology.

[@WGSXFrank]

I can speak on the embarrassment of RP while not engaging in erp, and also having some spicy mods. My spicy mod was literally a body mod that was nude by default. The body type suited my character lore far better than vanilla. That's it. No erp. Eventually, I found a nevernude version. However, the embarassment comes from literally everyone thinking RP = ERP. Looking for RP? You're gonna get people hitting on you, assuming erp most of the time. If you have friends in game, someone is going to assume you do ERP, even if you don't. Also, I agree about your other points 100%

[@VampireNoblesse]
