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.

I think people kinda forget that Yoshi is actually a member of the board at SE, he's not simply in charge of just the FF14 division but part of the overall leadership. They gave him this position a few years back so that he can have almost full control over the game.

2ch and other Japanese communities are overall pretty negative about the entire thing.

Yeah consumers ofc, what i meant are the people in the corporate structure. Nobody will go to the CEO and basically tell them that it is the most stupid idea of the century to do this and they will burn all goodwill. I mean if that would be the case something like this would have never seen the light in the first place cause it is incredible bad pr.

Japan has this "weird" culture of politeness and they are really not confrontational towards superiors. Consumer ofc but the employee not. Some reasons why they always seem so detached from reality the higher you go in the ranks. Look at nintendo for example.

Not saying Yoshi-P has no say in stuff at all i bet his opinion as the literally savior of SE is something really important but the suits will do anyways what they want in the end.

When you voice your opinions on these matters in a place where a game's dev team will see it, you essentially are telling shareholders. It might not be as direct of a way as one would like, but seeing as we don't have a direct line to SE board meetings, these types of posts should be encouraged and supported.

Steam has banned them and the game is on steam.

You're right! I forgot about that. Should help keep FFXIV safe.

[Trobador]

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.
