This doesn't sound good, but I don't see this type of thing coming to FFXIV. Square Enix is a huge company that produces and publishes a lot of things. I think they would more likely implement this into a new game that is centered around that concept, although there's a high likelihood it would be a Final Fantasy-branded product. But I mean, there a bunch of shabby-looking FF mobile games that I don't touch, it doesn't bother me any or impact FFXIV at all.

As a side note, what the heck is he talking about how 2021 is the "Metaverse" year, because Facebook officially changed to "Meta"? I'm on Facebook right now, there's nothing different about it and no mention of "Meta" anything.
