The world-famous game company Square Enix is now looking to invest in blockchain-based gaming. Square Enix President Yasuke Matsuda drew particular attention to this point in his letter containing the 2022 goals. All the attention is on the possibility of making the first attempt in the mobile game Final Fantasy: First Soldier.
Blockchain game possibility for Final Fantasy: First Soldier
Square Enix President Matsuda, in his rather long letter, announced that they will turn to Metaverse, NFT and blockchain-based gaming technologies. However, Matsuda marked the year 2022 for blockchain-based gaming technologies. In this sense, Final Fantasy: First Soldier game, which is being developed, came to the forefront for this crypto project.
These game types started to become widespread in 2021. However, for now, top players do not approach such games positively, considering that they kill the enjoyment of the game.
However, Yasuke Matsuda also addressed this issue in his letter. Realizing that these projects are not viewed positively in the gaming world, Square Enix President pursues a formula that does not spoil the enjoyment of the game. According to Matsuda, mining cryptocurrencies, which is included in a good gaming experience, may not bother the players.
Beta testing continues for Final Fantasy: First Soldier
In addition, Square Enix, like Ubisoft, is after converting materials such as weapons and items in the game into NFT. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that blockchain-based game development is in the first place for Square Enix. Final Fantasy: First Soldier, which will be released soon, draws attention for this crypto project. Again, if not at first, Square Enix will later update this game with a blockchain-based project.
Square Enix President Matsuda emphasized the importance of the Metaverse universe for games in his letter. Accordingly, Square Enix sees the Metaverse universe as the game trend of the future. However, it is not yet clear whether the company will make an investment in this regard.
What is a blockchain-based game?
Blockchain-based games first appeared in 2017. However, these types of games, which play games and earn crypto money, exploded in 2021. De-Fi, that is, decentralized crypto-based projects, has not received enough attention in the game world until now. One of the main reasons for this is that this technology is not yet used in high-end games. Again, the masses of games of this level are not very fond of these blockchain game projects.
Gaming and cryptocurrency mining projects generally allow you to use your own mining currency for in-game purchases. However, one of the main problems with these games is that they do not offer good returns without spending a lot of screen time.
