Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker had an incredibly rocky launch. Some could say that it was quite literally suffering from success all owed to Yoshi P and his team’s efforts. Chad Thorsen watches the events unfold reimagined at the Square Enix offices to see how things went down internally. FF14 Endwalker continues to pull in new players continuously and has won dozens of awards already. This is what happens when you make a game too good, Yoshi P!

NFTs are scams run by criminals. If companies get involved with that stuff, they will lose lots of money.
"Does he sleep?"
No one knows…
Tbf Square probably wasn't too bummed since:
1. It wasn't just a case of server congestion, they legit ran out of digital copies for the game
2. That money printer went ham afterwards ,what with the exodus from WoW and the sudden arrival of players new to MMOs period.
Good news. We're no longer congested thanks more likely to the new Oceanic data center.
Nani?
Dude u look like Anduin in your thumbnail.
"Does he sleep?"
Primals don't need sleep, only crystals.

Modern SE really highlights the dichotomy of big game developers in Japan at the moment. You have the old guard that keep wanting to make quality games for traditional platforms, sometimes with too much reverence and freedom they go off in the deep end of years of development and massive story labyrinths, Yoshi-P is an exception to this because of FF14 1.0 failure, not the rule which you see with Kingdom Hearts and half decade long development times of today's mainline FF games. Then you have the new business of making mobile and GAS games for suckers, the objective to hook as many people's credit cards into your game's bank vault and keep it that way, with a cult of business suits wanting to pivot, not because consoles/PC is declining, but mobile market is exploding, that make the company leaders take notice. The ones who win are the ones who make the most money, one of the best things about this is that SE's mobile and GAS games don't make money but a few of it's games like FF14 have seen huge success. However this is mostly thanks to player's word of mouth, memes and streamers who spread the faith in the game. New games with SE's terrible marketing stood no chance of being bought and played, dooming Deus EX, Guardians of the Galaxy and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Not to mention as a Japanese company they see mobile being massive in Asia and want a piece of that pie, it's harder to convince top bosses the rest of the world still wants their games when even a layman can see how mobile games are a massive part of commuting in Asia. The worst that could happen is a Konami like situation, where the company just abandons it's history to go full shameless money milking, gambling being the big endgame for turning players into payment addicts.
I saw that Kingdom hearts chart and I'm wondering how people think it makes sense to make a chart where Sora and Roxas are listed (as far as I can see at least) 7 times. I mean really? And this is just to explain who is a "somebody" and who is a "nobody" and a "heartless"? Like damn.
