FGO's New Content Guidelines for Streaming and Videos will Ruin Creators

[@thekirtfox]

Not just creators, but it's going to slow down uptake and interest in their game. It's content creators that do the work keeping people interested in the game. This doesn't help anyone in anyway. and will just slowly strangle the life out of their game. Also, I'm a global player, and I avoid as much JP spoiler as I can and have been pretty much fine with it. Only issue I have is spoilers in thumbnails and titles. If it's JP content, excluding anniversary stuff I don't watch the vid. The vids keep my interest up through all the years I've played and also help with some fights where I don't have time to sit and try and figure the mechanics out cause I have a job and other obligations.

No it is not. No one gives a f for content creators

[@progmrz5512]

⁠​⁠@@dimitris6258 No one or is it just only you? Lol Whether you argree or not, a gacha game which is categorized a live service game needs Content Creators to attract and keep interest on the players. Hell, this is the reason why Genshin became this huge was thanks to Content Creators literally making content about the game and spreading it. And Hoyo capitalized on that making a creator program just for that. Essentially Content Creators are literally a free advertisement on the game. Also, I like how you are saying you don’t give a f on Content Creators yet you have 100+ comments on Kitasean. I thought you don’t give an f? Then why do you have 100+ comments on Kitasean? Hypocrite much?

[@alexandrunache9078]

@@dimitris6258 Without content creators this game would have died even faster. And I don’t mean just KZbinrs; the wiki, discords where people share gameplay and pulls, all of these have content created by the community for the community. Without those what do you have? A single player game with no one to share your passion for? That’s the worst nightmare for an intellectual property and dismissing the value content creators bring is super hypocritical. I’m sure you’d lose your interest in many other games way faster if you found no one that shares that interest as well.

I'm not sure on how things look in the JP side and I can only speak for myself, but whenever I'm asked on where I hear news or watch FGO related content I always answer non-official KZbin channels. I wonder how this will affect content creators making things for the NA side of FGO?

[@MaximizingLIVE]

My main FGO content I upload is my story playthroughs but until I start seeing Sony actively hitting videos of people’s playthrough’s I’m not too worried since commentary should absolutely be protected by fair use right? I know Sony/Aniplex also had similar guidelines for the Tsukihime Remake and Mahoyo but full length playthroughs of those games still exist on KZbin. Only thing I’m actually slightly worried about is soundtrack copyright, because KZbin’s handling of that with gaming is so bad, if there’s even a hint of a copyrighted song in the background of a game you’re playing the entire video will be taken down so hopefully the developers can at least get that across to the higher ups at Sony/Aniplex. If the OST became copyrighted it’d be a complete nightmare for creators 😅

@@DorrovianIt 100% does. Look at any other gacha and you will see how well hidden spoilers and future patches are from the community by the community. Most of them are at worst months apart, yet spoilers don’t appear from their games biggest CC. In Fgo not only do you have to deal with a lack of content due to no endgame or story (since it takes months to years for main story chapters to come), but you’re also dealing with a game that is so hard to manage that unless you have 2 years of content in advance you will not be prepared to pull who you want. That’s why the wiki is literally an extension to the game. PS: The whole JP players being spoiled by NA is stupid since JP players also made content on OC3 and anything in between to LB5. This is obviously elitism and it’s not hard to tell.

[@alexandrunache9078]

@@Dorrovian Can you elaborate? Because there is a difference between information being easily accessible and the community and content creators spoiling it. In HSR for example, not only is Information accessible for the next patch due to leaks, but the CCs also have access to it in a program offered by the company. Even so there are measures in place so these things don't go out, yet that wouldn't matter if the community was actually hellbent on making content even faster. Meaning, and to add to my previous comment, it's not only the servers apart that are at fault for CCs making content of the game, but also the conditions FGO has (or better said hasn't) provided for their community. Also saying other games are not big on story like FGO is purely subjective. FGO had some highs yes, but it also has some really big lows and this inconsistency is not that apparent to other industry standard gachas which actually are consistent. I'm not even going to talk about the difference in story presentation and the time it takes till they release new chapters as that is night and day.

The fact that the potential for spoilers can cause some JP players to throw tantrums like children is pathetic, honestly.

They're either try to kill hype for their game or rank down the international versions clairvoyance. This is insane the only thing this will accomplish is stopping international player from learn how abhorrent they speed of game update be new story chapter or events

This is Crunchyroll all over again bruh.

They really hate their fanbase i see.

FGO, the game that I love but I can't support.

[@meikisaragi1445]

This is bad for FGO. I mean, let's face it. It's not the best gacha game to stream right now. But I guess, It doesn't matter to them.

[@beestek.94]

Looks like Aniplex wants to kill FGO now for FGO2(copium) 😂 But seriously, this is what happens when the higher ups of a company are old people on a market that contains coomers as the consumers. I swear, Japanese gacha game companies are so behind in times.

[@mr.shadow8812]

What am curious is why did jp players specificially report these?

[@user-cYhjMAHpW]

What's next to KuSony? Banning those who played JP server thru VPN? If that happens, I'm uninstalling the game for good. Especially that I'm slowly into retirement phase of playing games, watching videos, everything.

[@daikiraiheart3895]

Im looking forward 3 months revenue will it drop or not

[@cameraredeye3115]

Servers outside of JP, maybe. But not the JP server.

We understand sony was salty with concord but they don't need to drag fgo in their 2024 fumble list.

[@DreMcTM]

This sounds similar to the Mahoyo streaming policy where they wouldn't let anyone stream past chapter 5. Maybe they are trying to prevent spoilers for the final few chapters of FGO. Not defending them, just a thought.

[@alsha1243]

i can kinda understand that it's new-ish product and they want to entice potential buyers, but gatekeeping 5 years old chapters is such a mesozoid method for keeping an interest.

[@TukkyHD]

Guess they hate money

[@KhoaNguyen-tu6cw]

Is this for JP only, will it gonna affected NA too ?

[@kitasean]

As of right now it is JP only.

[@THEBULLETPROOFKINGDOM]

​@@kitasean F/GO Content is still F/GO Content. Sadly, NA will get affected too.

[@1907IceFire]

@@THEBULLETPROOFKINGDOM nah, it's just to avoid spoilers to global/kr/cn users, like they don't want spoilers but in their official site they showed Hakuno welfare that you're supposed to see only when you clear OC3...so it's not about spoilers is to try to let the global users that probably complained about being spoilered on story chapters to survive being on socials without get that...a thing I don't really understand but probably it mean something for lasagna...

[@Dorrovian]

@@1907IceFire From what I heard it's because JP players were angry with global content creators spoiling story hours after release, before even them had time to play it.

[@1907IceFire]

@@Dorrovian well i understand them, few people want spoilers but others are pissed from that, the 2 years gap created this situation in the end...if you have content in english lot of people Will Just play without caring about spoiler video on socials

[@banbowyt8945]

Is this like limited to gameplay? Let say I put an image of Melu and talk about her lore and her role in lb6 without gameplay of bosses is that fair game?

[@jean-pierrebenzenique]

maybe this restriction is for the NA player who are still far behind? but still, interlude is prohibited??? why???

[@gummiemonkey2022]

So we can show summer 8 (fae summer ) but not lb 6 even thou it mentions it in the event ..?

[@ss16gokou]

It's targetted at NA only players and streamers. Also for JP players that can't read and understand Japanese. It's meant to stop NA players for having that future sight or whatever it is called in FGO. I'm curious though on what you said that Japanese players and content creators support this. So it's true that they complained to Lasengle? To be fair they are always salty of NA players. We have 2 years to save up for a servant while on their side they do not know what rateup or banner will come next. I'm not saying you should directly fight it but what about a sign or symbol on your profile pic for example that denounces this? I don't think Lasengle will ban accounts for that alone. Edit. I don't get they allow CQ's but not normal boss fights. Outside of Gamepress, hell even they have a list of videos on how to defeat a boss. I watch those because there are times reading won't help much and it's better to see how another player beats the boss. So now that's not allowed as well huh. Edit2. Also, since this was posted in JP and not in NA, is there a loophole that what if the one you posted for example on a fight in Olympus, for example the Zeus FIght, you recorded it in NA not JP? Would that be affected? I would assume it should only be for people who recorded from the JP server/side.

[@skylordquasar]

Ok but why though? It at least makes some sense in the case of persona where they make money by selling the story. What is the point here?

[@takaya86]

No one knew that there was an eight beast, and its called Sony.

[@marklopezBleach]

Wheres xnaya in this, absolute cooked? 💀

[@EizenMalak]

The concept of not watching the videos with story spoilers alien to jp people? If it was something to stop spoilers through thumbnails, I would understand, but timegating content? That's stupid.

[@ChaldeaWarmaster]

I feel like you will be fine on Twitch for the most part when streaming FGO related stuff.

[@HeyImGreenArrow]

Terrible decision

[@devilhero1062]

stories gone means ost about those chapters will be gone as well which is sad and bs cuz it's from your own story why take down the fan uploads and didn't even upload on their main channel even after those take downs like how are we supposed to find those songs and ost

[@dagobertobobadillajr7670]

The JP mindset is on a whole other level when it comes to boot licking. If this hits the states, someone better sue sony.

[@piratevirus227]

Bro, that’s rough for FGO JP content creators. At least NA is safe. 😅

[@luckystar788]

This stupid especially when EN version already pass Lb6, yet they still limited it to Lb4 doesn't help how road to LB campaign already spoiling most content pass to LB6 this is me or whoever made ruler this are Boomer.

[@goldentrout4811]

you still gonna defend Ono after sf5? whether he had a hand in this or not, he's the current ceo of lasengle and he probably signed off on this

There are so many content creators that all they post is clear guides for events. And I guess they just have to quit KZbin?

[@cameraredeye3115]

No, they just need to stop posting spoilers for new content.
