Fans are finding the fun after a Final Fantasy content creator who migrated from World of Warcraft initially missed𒁃 out on Dragonflight’s recent alpha, sparking a in both game communities.

Preach Gaming is a streamer who used to focus on World of Warcraft before swapping to Final Fantasy 14 last year – they still play Blizzard’s MMO here and there, but they decided they weren’t going to go as hard on it as before. Preach made the leap around the same time as oodles of other World of Warcraft content creators and fans – look up the term on the Final Fantasy 14 s♋ubreddit – but explained more clearly in a that they didn’t feel like Blizzard was respecting fan’s time anymore.

by the snub despite expecting it to happen. 

“I do not have the Dragonflight alpha – big surprise,” they said at the time. “As much as I was expecting not to get it, and had been wa⛄rned by somebody at Blizzard when I made my video [last year] that I was not going to cover World of Warcraft on a regular basis anymore, that they were pissed at me, and a bit salty about that, I am still a little pissed off, and I didn’t think I would be.”

Preach Gaming’s fans, thoug𒅌h, naturally saw the opportunity for a bit of fun. Like many other games, you can send people gifts and messages in Final Fantasy 14. What better way to make light of the situation, then, than to send the streamer heaps of minions and plushies of a popular Final Fantasy 14 character called Alpha, complete with some jokes as messages? 

The gag is proving popular, with Preach joking during a recent streamဣ that running out of inventory space wouldn’t stop the onslaught of Alpha-related goodies💛. 

The story has a happy ending, thankfully. A♏s explained in a , Blizzard eventually reached out to Preach Gaming, and they're getting to the Dragonflight alpha after all. On top of that, they won’t be left wanting for Alpha-related merchandise in Final Fantasy 14 anytime soon.
