Unskippable Ads in FFXIV

[Calafieromomias]

Hello i got an idea! Square Enix could introduce unskippable ads in Final Fantasy XIV as a way to generate additional revenue, allowing the game to grow and offer more content. These ads could appear during loading screens, before entering dungeons, or when teleporting to major cities. To make them more interesting, they could be related to the stuff we doing. example if you enter Limsa lominsa you could get Broom ads , Sea food ads , if you go the crystarium you could get some Blackout Blind Ads or things like that.

By implementing this system, FFXIV could secure extra funding for improvements, new expansions, and more frequent content updates, all while keeping the game financially sustainable

Example if we are doing MSQ after the next cutscene rolls we get to watch 1 or 2 ads and then the cutscene resumes.

If you are Raiding ex Savage , Ulti etc. after 5 wipes you do, you would get another Ad that you must watch if you alt tab the game it wont count and the timer will freeze this to ensure that you watch the Ad.

It can also work on the world map if you are AFK you could get a 10 minute ad and since you are not on the screen it wouldn't affect but if u come back u have to watch the remaining ad time to keep playing.

Also we can get a little boost of XP for leveling alt jobs if we answer surveys about the ads that we just watched something like food buff.

Example of ADS

Cruisers stuff – “Sail the real seas, not just Eorzeas!”
Hotels – "Promoting oceanfront stays and island getaways."
Food - “Even adventurers need coffee before their next raid!” “Quick eats before your next Duty Roulette.”

Fashion & Outdoor Brands
“Protect your eyes from the Thanalan sun and Limsa’s ocean glare.”
"High-end watches, because pirates and merchants love flexing gold."

Banks & Finance
“Even pirates need to send gil safely.”
"Your gil is safe with us… unlike with the Rogues’ Guild."

No, please delete this cancer. Also it would instantly be banned on Steam anyway. People like you should stay away from gaming in general, go back to monetizing car wash.

Just look at YT , with the unskipabble ads. Ads are the future of gaming and revenue for the companies if you dont want to watch ads maybe we could pay a little bit more and just get maybe only 1 30 sec ad per hour.

Yeah? Then obviously disrupting the gaming experience really screws with the game. Do I REALLY need to point over at Street Fighter V? Because the most annoying way to actually kill a game is to spam it with pop-up ads. It's unhelpful garbage and on top of that? People HATE Adware.

It'll literally be modded out day one so who cares

[Calafieromomias]

It could be avoided like for example Wuk Lamat can appear and ask u what do you think about X or Y brand. and you must choose.

Na they need to bring back someone like zenos senpai that will randomly show up and beat the hell out of you, with good music at random times in the game as your friend-enemy

Oh! Great idea on how to destroy this game forever! Terrible idea for making it better
