And important thing to remember is that the FFXIV devs are NOT the same as the SE CEO and the Corporate side of the industry. This scummy thing is coming from the corporate publisher SE, not the XIV dev team.

I can't in any reality see YoshiP and the team being okay with adding NFT's to XIV. If it happens and gets forced on them by corporate side, the community would mass riot and exodus. At least, I would hope these devs would fight against that.
