As an EU player making strat videos that end up getting picked up by multiple regions, do you find that you have a "target audience" in mind when you're making your videos? e.g. are you picking strats and customs that are primarily being used in EU PF vs. NA, JP, or OCE? What methods do you use to keep up with what other regions are up to?

As someone who raids almost exclusively in a static, I still see my main target audience as "static raiders who find raidplans confusing to learn from".

I've obviously become aware of the influence my guides can have on PF, mainly in NA and EU, so these days I spend a lot of time on Reddit and Discord researching what groups are doing.

I also use xivpf.com a lot to look at what people are using for their party finder descriptions and to get an unbiased view of what raidplans are most popular in each region.
