Keep NFT out of FF14

[DefeatedYMIR]

Dear FF14 developers. If you don't want your game to end up like WoW (mass player exodus) Keep NFTs out of FF14.

Yoshi-P please don't let SE force you to put NFT in FF. My faith is in you.

Tell that to the shareholders who hold all the strings. Yoshi-P and the rest of the dev team have no say in it, not even a single bit. They can resign yeah but if management comes and forces something onto them they have to do it.

And japanese people aren't really...uh...known to voice concern to superiors, lol.

Steam has banned them and the game is on steam.

The nice thing is that due to how FFXIV is built, I think there's not much that could be tied to NFT without causing bugs or unbearable loads on the servers.

But yeah. Don't do this shit, SE.

that is where you are wrong, rest of the team may not but yoshi is not just one more worker in SE. he got a say. can he sace it or ever see NFT as a problem is a different topic

I don't get it to be honest, other than pushing some planned outrage, it's just dumb all around, because when they want more money, they just have to put a new mount in the store or a few new emotes... It usually works well and people in good will will just buy it most of the time, to support but also for themselves if the mount is very popular if it's an interesting mount or emote too...

This... Is just unprofessional... Just trying to make money out of thin air, because nft's aren't even crypto, they are just "links" / adresses to images, not even a data set in any blockchain, nor even a portion of a blockchain encrypted into it.

This isn't a real thing. Everyone, calm down.

Much ado about nothing. It's all going to be fine.

I hope a patch soon rips all that crud out of the client. It's really messed up sound.

NFT's are complete garbage, but I don't have enough faith in people to actually believe that there'd be an exodus. At most, there would be a giant collective sigh and then everyone would continue logging in and at most the queue's would drop by like 200 people and we'd be waiting hours to get in regardless lol. A lot of people put up a big verbal fight pulling out all stops shouting from every rooftop, and then finally when it comes time for them to take action it's crickets followed by a sheepish "w-well...y-you cant expect ME to just drop my favorite thing...YOU guys should b-b-but...me?? it's my..my uh...its my coping..its my comfort game!!" Oh I can just see it now. And then maybe the 200 or so that quit would attempt a crusade against those who didnt oh it'd be a mess.
