Some Points:
- Director Kitase was asked about the drama after Takahiro Sakurai was found having martial affairs with the stakeholder noting “I believe has hurt the role of the character and the image of the title.” Asked whether Takahiro Sakurai would be returning, Kitase was unable answer.
- Stakeholder noted in a question that they believe Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest would hold an advantage in technology areas such as blockchain.
- A stakeholder asked whether there were plans to remaster more titles, pointing out they “would like to play Xenogears.” Kitase couldn’t commit to naming but said they were “considering various ideas” and there would be “forthcoming announcements.”
is there any game that was succesful with blockchain technologies? Why do they believe that. There is one thing for user, the majority of players don’t want anything like blockchain, they just want good games.
It’s all buying into hype really. I think with the downturn of NFTs, crypto coins and so on at the moment it could be a good indicator that these SE blockchain projects end up going silent.
