The First SE NFT.

[Vahlnir]

I hope people don't buy this crap to show them we don't want nfts

It's FF 7 for starters, and it's Cloud. People will most certainly buy it. SE knows this.

That's not how business decisions work. If at any point Yosuke Matsuda tells him "I want NFTs in FFXIV. It's one of our biggest IPs and it makes total sense to make extra through NFTs from that very large active customer base", if Yoshida or his team fail to provide strong enough evidence to convince him otherwise, it doesn't matter what he "wishes".
Moreover Yoshida tried to defend NFTs in a live letter so he's not against the concept, he just doesn't see how it would fit in XIV. He doesn't see NFT as something inherently bad.

But I don't know why I bother explaining this. Majority of the XIV fanbase thinks he's some kind of paragon of everything nice they want in a human being when he's just... a producer doing producer things without being a bad human being.

Yes, tends to be forgotten that YoshiP has a seat on the board of directors with CEO Matsuda.

SE also created the "Blockchain Entertainment Business Division".

Could get strong-armed anytime by the gang of Shinra directors to go along with the program, also SE MMO segment does not produce the most revenue, the mobile games segment does.

Dude, the playerbase didn't care when the cash shop was introduced. They didn't care when patches were becoming leaner and leaner. They didn't care when the story become secondary over cheap tearjerkers. Do you really expect the playerbase to care when NFTs are introduced? Just chill and enjoy the descent and duck out when it gets too dark, lol.

Yoshida will sell healers their DPS abilities back as NFTs

$30 to use Miasma again? What a steal!

I've heard of NFTs before but don't know what they are, I watched the mr happy vid and read some of your comments.

Are NFTs some kind of new cash shop item? are they a digital image that moves or a digital image u can slap onto your other pics, like u can put that image of cloud in a photo taken by your family to look like he was in the pic with your family?

A scam. That is all that they are.

tl;dr: It's a digital "ticket" that lets people know a transaction has occurred from one party to another. That's it. You see, items you buy are tied to your account owned by the game company and for some reason cannot be transfered between players in the same system/game. This lets you buy a digital item like a blue chocobo mount from one player to another player. You could say that SE or any company could just create a system to allow this to happen similar to that Valve/Steam marketplace thing but something something, too costly, something something.

If he didn't have some measure of input and the authority that people have to listen to that input, we'd be overrun with cash shop popups everywhere in the game. If you have no authority, it doesn't matter one bit if you give strong evidence or not. The higher ups are going to steam roll you. So we don't know the nature of things, but there does seem to be some measures in place where he can't just be steam rolled.

So it's basically a digital receipt that sais u have purchased the right from said company to sell company items to other players instead of them going to the cash shop to purchase it they can purchase it from you because you purchased the right to sell it to them from said company?

Am I understanding it correctly? sorry for the repeated questions, I comprehend things alot slower then normal people do.

so buy an action figure and instead of a ffxiv emote as the digital bonus you get a worthless digital stamp linking to a picture anyone can just go see anyways?

wonder if they'll realize no one is buying it for the NFT part?
