Square Enix and Crypto

[Enla]

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.

Facebook is planning on releasing something called the "Metaverse". Basically imagine VRchat and Second Life had a baby, the graphics look like something straight out of 2003, and a bunch of tech illiterate rich people seem to think it's this great innovation but almost everything about it has been iterated upon for years at this point. Like weddings, for example.

Am not really warm for metaverse, there are some online worlds that have done things better. Also not warm for Second Life much only visited that to view a friends creation but it doesn’t attract me otherwise. I do go on VRchat a slight bit more because while some creations are a bit meh, some are real artworks to explore + while some game devs maybe hate it I do like seeing some places from video games I love back on there too. Am a bit shy so my privacy settings are friends only 98% of the times.
I also liked Playstation home kind of, some stuff was a bit … weird (don’t make a girl avatar because the lonely fanboys will flood you) but I really liked some of the minigames they offered and some things were put together pretty nicely, too bad that it never lived up to the initial plans they had for it. For the minigames… while it has a bit of an other feel to it, I have visited Tower Unite for that too.
FFXIV is obviously a fine online world too I visit it the most of all I have ever visited probably. The mini games are great as well if I need some of that.

Now metaverse possibly may end up with some fun minigames, sure why not if they can build it in and so on. One thing on my mind is how facebook hates nicknames so idk how they do with privacy settings. In this day and age next to personal irl contacts we also have warm contacts with many people online, people you maybe like to share some life related things but not all too personal details. So idk what to really expect there and all…
