    Lets say in ff11 i had a hat. Even if that exact same hat were transferred to ff14, it wouldnt work correctly and SE would need to have the asset remade from scratch, or at the very least altered/rescaled, essentially creating two identical but different items. Far from the unique nft ideal.
    If youre proposing SE use the same engine for every game for the sake of maintaining and honoring the promise of nft transfer, I have a fun historical example for you in crystal tools. Everybody loved crystal tools right? Never caused any massive game delays or flops.
    This is not how NFT's work. Game engine has nothing to do with cross game implementation. NFT's follow a standard. They are references to a game asset in that case, not the asset themselves. The other game would choose to interpret that refence in whatever way it saw fit. It could be hat in one game and a pair of jeans in another.

    so if you dont own the asset itself how is it different to an item code? it would be relatively simple if the company wanted to make multiple games that reference the same item codes, it wouldnt be future proof, of course but neither is the nft alternative.
