Cloud Data Center: Awful Idea

[Canadane]

I remember vague mentions of wanting to go on cloud servers years ago i think during heavansward or close to stormblood release but it seems they mentioned it again in last nights live letter but i forgot there was a live letter last night lol.

There was a mention of it when they wanted to help keep XI preserved as there's so many memories with it, and cloud servers were mentioned there, iirc.
But nothing after that until now, as far as I know.

They were also looking into cloud servers as a temporary way to get more servers during the chip shortage back when Endwalker came out. Just that at the time it wasn't at a price they were willing to allow Yoshida to have as he was willing to pay a higher price if it meant the log in congestion could be eased. It just never got anywhere. These servers could also be part of the Xbox agreement as supposedly Xbox does use the cloud to some extent or whatnot. Between this and the extra servers we already have they should be able to handle any influx of new players coming in with Dawntrail and Xbox players.

I remember them discussing it for ff11 also and them saying it would help preserve that game.
