Your take on business practices reads a tad bitter. Care to share more than vague statements about why?
It was a fairly long time ago, but back when they showed the FF7 Tech demo for Ps3, SE began flip flopping on if they were, or were not making the FF7 Remake, I specifically remember them saying they weren't remaking it until all their other FF titles were meeting the same amount of sales as FF7. This was also around the time they were going bankrupt.

And it's not bitterness, it's me seeing a billion dollar company for what it's worth. Yoshi P and his devs are most likely not going to be affected by anything NFT related. SE isn't dumb, they are infact a fairly smart company business wise, Currently at least, That being said it's fairly anti-consumer, knowing square they're gonna make a few one off games, or pump crypto and NFT into their mobile titles. Said titles will find an audience, and they'l milk them for all they can before said titles will suddenly have its service cut after a year or 2 and then SE will wash their hands of it and move on. It's always how they've been, Prime examples being thire list of IPs.

Square and Enix Seperately released a fair amount of major hit Titles, not limited to The Crono series, the Valkyrie Series, the Parasite eve series we also have the Star Ocean series. bad business choice, milked IPs, and bad direction marks all of these titles, and out of all of them The Crono Series has been religated to a mobile game. My point here is simple, and you can take it as bitterness if thats what you choose, but SE has a history of tossing aside what doesn't make them more money then FF, dipping their hands in anything that can be milked to pump more money into FF, no matter how sleazy it is. It's really shitty, and honestly unfair, when looking at the large amount of fans for those IPs mention, and just really horrible when looking at this company from a consumer PoV.

FFXIV is going so well because of Yoshi P not SE, and I find it hypocritical that they would Push NFT, which is helping in Depriving them of servers for the game, especially right before a major content release, is just down right disrespectful. Not to mention, from a human PoV, bad for the enviornment, and with Japan being plagued by a regular amount of Natural disasters, you think they would care a bit more.
