/r/ffxivdiscussion: Square Enix Notification of Recognition of Extraordinary Losses

[Boa-Noah]

that had nothing to do with finances and everything to do with not overworking their team.

They've been 'not overworking their team' for a gooooooood while now, so much so they can't even add tail holes or make hats accommodate non-human ears anymore... maybe they should be overworking their team by now?

for 14 yes, who knows what the rest of their teams are doing. the loss is from no longer developing other titles, little to do with 14 overall.

hah they haven't bothered with that stuff properly since ARR only few pieces in HW-EW have them & funny thing is none of the tail outfit changes apply to Aura tails on any of that ARR gear like Miqo have actual pieces removed from tail region whilst Aura just clip through.

[Swordsman]

On the brightside, citizen, imagine how much of the Lalafell Menace can be contained with those sort of pay to win game mechanics.

Hahaha how does this always come back to the Lalafells.

Prolly kiss goodbye to any hope of a XI remake.

Yeah man, that dream has been long gone, unfortunately even before this notice from SE.

Lol true. And if "overworking" the team can only produce results that are expected of them I'd really hate to see what it looks like when they give it nothing at all.

You know of what I speak, citizen. The Lalafell Menace is a huge threat to Eorzea. That and NFTs.





Remember the lessons of the past.

NFTs

Man, I know Yoshi P said he found the concept of NFTs interesting but I think he already stated that NFTs will never make an appearance in FFXIV. That would be an astonishingly tone deaf and unpopular move if the devs added them to the game. What would these hypothetical NFTs even be based on, just artwork of characters? And then they'd sell it on the mogstation? Lmao.

Citizen, I'd request a custom NFT for each one of my Weeaboo Police Troopers. It would be a viable method of raising funds so the Weeaboo Police Department can purchase new weapons and uniforms.

But I'm aware of Square's attempt at making an NFT game called Symbiogenesis and its poor reception.

Ah, improvements for the "LCS" I see. Carry on.

But I'm aware of Square's attempt at making an NFT game called Symbiogenesis and its poor reception.

It was a major failed project for SE and plenty of resources were wasted on that one. What's funny is that SE made the announcement for symbiogenesis as the market for NFTs were already in decline. By that time I believe Steam had already banned NFT games across the board from being distributed by their platform. Yeah... SE was well behind the curve on the NFT stuff.

If overworking their team is the issue, they could also just...hire more people? It's not like SE is some small indie studio that doesn't have the money to do so. They would just rather throw their money at crappy NFT games and other trash than take good care of their big cash cow.

[Swordsman]

LCS

LMAO omg man.

Of course, citizen. Square heard of a new way to make money and scrambled together a poorly designed plan to capitalize on it only to find that most people see NFTs as worthless.

SE will always look for ways to maximize profits, whether thats cutting costs by not hiring adequate numbers of employees or trying to create cash grabs like NFT games. Their priority is paying dividends to their investors. Oh, and probably giving hefty bonuses to senior management too.
