Furthermore, Cain Murasaki, another streamer and a member of Nora’s party at the time, participated in MPKing the random player and kicking them which has been viewed as problematic. At first, Nora remained silent on the matter and removed the section where the incident occurred from their stream archive. Many also said they thought it was extremely malicious once it was confirmed that participants intentionally MPK’d the player.Īfter the stream ended and criticism started pouring in, you might say how they went about handling it was also problematic. In this case, even though the participants are aware of Nora’s rules, some were questioning the strictness of not letting players even avoid attacks unless instructed to do so. Roleplaying has been officially recognized as a way to enjoy FFXIV and denying someone’s playstyle or trying to force your playstyle on other players goes against the User Agreement. The incident also raised the question of whether Nora’s playstyle was considerate of others, even if they are established rules for the stream.

Possibly because Nora was expecting all of the party members to be viewers, each character’s full name was clearly displayed. FFXIV has a feature to display other characters’ names as initials or not at all and is recommended when streaming out of consideration for other players. Similar incidents have occurred in the past, but this time around, it was done in front of a large group of people. First is the issue of a regular player participating in the party being kicked without a justifiable reason.
In this case, Nora likely thought the random player was a viewer not following the rules and had them kicked.īut this incident doesn’t seem to only be getting attention because of how unfortunate it was for the random player. There’s also a roleplaying element where the VTuber character is that of a queen, so not only is avoiding attacks without instructions or solving puzzles not allowed, use of the in-game chat is also prohibited. For that reason, spoilers and explanations are banned from the comments and participants must follow her instructions. Kicking the player without any sort of communication can be attributed to Nora’s particular streaming style, with a policy that they have to figure out all of the game’s gimmicks alone. Nora then requested that participating viewers kick the player meaning they were kicked from the instance without having any idea what was going on. It’s generally understood as bad manners in online gaming. MPK stands for Monster Player Kill and is the act of deliberately using monsters to disrupt or kill another player. Nora didn’t seem to notice this and thought the player was ignoring their streaming rules and had them MPK’d. However, possibly due to miscounting, they requested to enter the instance with too few players and a random player was added to their party. In this case, Nora’s party was supposed to be made of enough viewers to fill the player requirements for the content they wanted to play. In other words, playing with strangers isn’t uncommon with many playing with players they don’t know daily. There’s also the Duty Roulette where players can queue for a random instance, which helps fill out parties that may not have enough players to tackle the content they want to play. This selfish move drew lots of criticism and FFXIV players didn’t hold back in making their feelings known online.įFXIV has a feature called the Duty Finder where players can get matched with other players looking to take on the same content. After this, Nora ended up deliberately having the player’s character killed and instructed their viewers to kick the player from the party.
However, due to a mistake during the stream, a random player they didn’t know ended up in the party and joining them.
During the stream, Nora was planning on forming a party with viewers to tackle the game’s content. The uproar started during VTuber Nora’s FFXIV stream on July 13 (JST). Nick Mosier based on the original Japanese article (original article’s publication date: 22:53 JST)Ī VTuber was recently heavily criticized by players for their actions while playing Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) prompting an apology from the streamer.
