Metaverse = Give me my cut
Im against NFT's in videogames, but when they sell $2500 guitars and people are buying what amounts to $300+ emotes I have 0 faith in the FFXIV community not gobbling this shit up so long as it comes tied to a mount/hairstyle/emote/glamour.
If nfts ever came to ffxiv I would immediately unsub.
Noone wants the Metaverse. Metaverse is Ready Player One if the bad guys win.
how many companies have to get yelled at before people stop getting the idea to integrate this NFT craze into random shit
Asmongold is completely right! This will be a bad slippery slope going forward in Video Game industry.
the thought of this being incorporated into ff14 makes me sick so i had a hard time even addressing this stupid message. since i do art to make a living, the idea of going home to do my """FUN""" art to fund my fun in game is just sick and disgusting. It takes away not only the refuge of ff14 but also the refuge from production work to just doing something for the happiness of ourselves and others. Though tbh i'm hoping beyond hope ff14 will not be touched by this. It is a reality that games need to be monetized. Esp when production demands grow higher and higher and staff needs to be fairly paid. FF14 feels like… the last bastion of hope. What an annoying new year message.
If SE introduces NFT's or any other kind of money trading token in FFXIV, I'm gone. I watched it ruin warcraft, I won't watch it ruin FFXIV.
Hopefully this idea/venture will crash and burn relatively soon like it appears to be doing with Ubisoft. And hopefully Yoshida and Creative Businesses Unit III can/will keep well out of any of the shittiness that is NFTs and crypto.
it reminds me of skyrim tried to do make a mod market place where Bethesda get a cut
FF14 is only one team out of many teams in SE. Unless SE is going to push this from top down, I don't think FF14 will be impacted that much.
IMVU was release in 2004 and their community were happy with their system, they give you the tools to become a developer easly and you could make your own products and sell them for game currency (well at least was like that back then, don't know how it is right now), so i don't see why FFXIV is any different, since RP is a strong selling point of the game. The only thing i am concern about it is the freedom of product creation, it works fine with IMVU because there isn't a background story, IMVU it is just a social platform where you can do whatever you want or almost everthing. Of course there will be people that will exploit and take advantage of it like in every game.
I just want to ask out of curiosity; anyone here plays for contribution and a sense of volunteer?
Sony tried that whole metaverse thing a while back on the PlayStation 3 with PlayStation home. It never got out of beta and ended up eventually being scrapped.
Sure there were some people that spent money upgrading their house or living space or whatever but for the most part it was just pretty much a flop. But it’s just like everything else. They can’t do the loot box anymore so now they have to come up with some other way to fuck everybody over. Because the billions they’ve already made isn’t enough.
To be fair though, square remix is a lot more than just Final Fantasy. There’s a cash shop in 14 but I believe part of the agreement that was made was you she did not want it being pushed down players throats which is why it’s all separate. I can’t imagine NFT‘s being any different in that aspect.
I know what NFTs are and I know what video games are, but every time I see people talk about NFT video games I have no idea what that means. And you know, I don't think anyone else does either. There's talk about having blockchains so you can resell digital games, but other than that what could you possibly do? Use background resources to mine crypto? Get a unique piece of armor that nobody else in the game can have unless they buy it from you? Everything about that is stupid. Imagine the FOMO from events that give a unique piece of gear that only one person can have.
I think if nfts start to become a big thing in gaming, it might be time for me to stop playing games 🙁
I want to own my digital assets so this sounds great
If NFTs are ever put into FF14 will burn the good will of the game and alot of people will leave.
This is what happened with WOW. I got tired of there money making scams every 6 months adding no content.
I believe this idea was given to the president by the analysts in the Europe parent company where they are affiliated with Eidos. They want to add NFTs to there shitty Marvel games.
Shit this is what Tataru’s been working on all along! knew she was evil…
Agree with everything you say. This is only a way for Square Enix to make money off of the backs of hard working creators
Metaverse is precisely what gamers are going to ignore 💀 Why even attempt to model one's self after a company that had to do an emergency rebrand due to how caustic their product was & getting exposed for it?
Couldn't they just invest the same money in patreon and end up making more, while not killing gaming?
i hope this doesnt happen we dont need fake currency or fake nft crap to ruin games
The talk of Square Enix these days is typically FFXIV and FFXVI, so I'm not surprised that's where people immediately go to when they think of NFTs ruining good things, but they also have a pretty big mobile department and I think that is the main target. I'm not worried about projects under Yoshi-P.
Basically bitcoins for gaming version except the value of each items is not equal. Very exploitable and hopefully it won’t come into FFXIV.
He makes a good point. Consider how hard it is for us to even get extra storage in the game, imagine if they have millions of additional data points being input in to the game that is constantly changing and constantly increasing in size use every time its being traded? Since its SE's nft's, you can be sure that the data is going to be server storage, not local storage. That means they will have to add hundreds of more servers solely dedicated to handling NFT's.
Rather they hold more contests where artists works get made into ingame items, both free in game and also some for cash shop, and if they support the artists then pay them for their designs that get cash shopped.
What I'm curious about is how Steam's ban on cryptocurrency/NFTs on their platform will effect the possible introduction of them? They cant really pull steam support now since so many players play 14 through it right?
Am curious what someone more knowledgeable on all this thinks.
Anyone spending money on this nft crap is a fool
I have more faith in Yoshi-P than Square-Enix. This likely won't be a thing in FFXIV as long as Yoshi-P is around, unless SquEnix decide to kill themselves by forcing it (after which he'd probably leave like Sakaguchi).
I suspect this isn't intended for FFXIV. They have many other franchises they may be intending this for.
When did Bobby kotick become the president of square enix
I must live under a rock. What is the metaverse? Actually, nevermind. I'm good under the rock.
why are people acting like the metaverse is a new thing? vchat it's been a thing for a while? what's the difference?
Metaverse thing won't work. Normal people don't like games… Not normal, you and I are normal… I mean kind of. But you know, that chick that reads cosmo and does brunch with her friends and says clinkies when they cheers with prosecco. They ain't gonna metaverse. Nore am I, I don't even facebook. it's shit.
2.30 into the video im still like WTF IS AN NFT.
When you use an abreviation, fucking define it
Yoshi-p is the last WoL in real life, if he failed to defend ff14 from NFT, its the endgame for me.
Potentially? Come on.. by that logic literally anything can happen. What if..? Imagine..? Lets say…? You guys are getting ridiculous with the ammount of speculation about FF14. Did all companies put loot boxes in their games? Do all games have an online store with tokens like wow? Asmon is in a bad place right now which I understand but it's gone to his head. Now everyone is following his thoughts like sheep. He should calm down and maybe take a break from the internet for a year untill he's healed.
People are ready to riot but nothing has happened yet, and ooooh boy you bet all content creators are riding this for the views and it's doing more harm than good with all these "opinions" and trying to be too smart. Suddenly everyone is a pro on the topic and just making people more nervous with "what ifs".
Mark my words: FF14 won't be touched by this BS.
AND if any new games come out making use of this system then it's as easy as saying NO. No one is forcing anyone to buy or play these games… its pretty simple.. there will always be legit companies creating great games. Those that don't will burn like Blizzard is atm.
Sorry but alot of People want NFTS. Many many people I know (many) want and will continue to buy.
From my understanding, FFXIV already, kind of, has a system like this in the game… it's just not advertised. You can boost a new character to max level, skipping content essentially (watched Sodapoppin do this) and with that 25 dollar purchase, you get 500,000 gil. So boost and skip (up to shadowbringers not passed) will get you 1 million gil for the small price of 45 dollars. So there is your conversion, 25 dollars equals 500,000 (which is literally so sad because FFXIV gil converted to the value of gold in WoW would be roughly 50 gold you bought with 25 bucks). You'll just need a friend who is willing to trade the gil from that worthless character to your main character or to whatever potential buyer there is. A REAL GOOD REASON TOO GETTING RID OF THE SKIPPED/BOOSTS in the store. So if SQUARE ENIX cut out the middle man, there really isn't anything that will change, except more "laymen" players will now have the ability to practice in this shady business of killing a game.
What is really effed up, you buy ARR for 11bucks, 300k gil; then ARR/HW for 15bucks, 300k gil; then ARR/HW/SB for 20bucks, 500k gil… with that you'll have 1.1 million. 100k gil for an extra dollar… which is a much better price right? For 1 dollar get 100k gil, 5 dollars gets you 500k gil, 10 dollars gets you 1.1 million gil (a nice lil deal), 100 dollars get a deal and have it equate to 125 million or something like that for best offer. See how bad this can get?
NFT transactions in FF14? Gimme a break. Their store webpage can't even do normal transactions properly.
