Selling of IP's

[Velvet_Lunarfang]

With the recent selling of some IP's and SE looking into Blockchaining more and more. Do you think FFXIV is going to start to suffer soon and if so you think this games is going to start dying out?

I could see him doing that XD. Sadly though at the end of the day SE pays him so it would either be get in line or move aside

On what basis? I like the guy well enough, though there's many supposed 'lines in the sand' that he has allowed to be crossed already and despite his vocal opposition to the presence of a cash shop his hands are, by his own admission, tied. Let's not pretend as though he doesn't try and sell very expensive merchandise during Live Letters either.

It is just a hyperbole joke, lol. I am aware that If SE really wants to, he doesn't really have much choice. That's something I am worry about, too. At the end of the day, he's an employee working for SE.

SE is such an odd study in Hail Marys. Time after time, starting from the original Final Fantasy, the company was nearly run into the ground by the fever dreams of upper management but pulled back from the brink of failure into a sudden wild success. The pattern repeats, as newer management hoping to make their mark takes that foundation and squanders it on an obvious boondoggle that leaves SE assed-out. Now, more to the point, I don't think the game will really suffer from any of this directly; it's the biggest money-maker they've got right now besides the gatcha stuff on mobile.

I doubt we'll see any blockchain nonsense in XIV.
Not because SE doesn't want that junk in there, 2021 and 2022 showed us that the company makes some of the most out of touch decisions I have ever seen.

We won't see it because XIV's engine is such jank that they'll never be able to implement something like NFTs.

For once, I am glad this game's coding is a pile of spaghetti.

For once, a game limitation has saved the game.
