I'll be honest I don't think this is as despair-inducing as you guys seem to think it is. A lot of their money at this point comes from the MMOs and Gachas, so it will most likely just be applied to Gacha stuff. Yoshi has already said multiple times that NFT/Blockchain won't be coming to the MMO so that isn't much of a concern.

FF16, while it's pacing and story did kind of fall off, I thought was quite fun. It's not going to be a contender for best FF of all time or anything, but I enjoyed the game and the combat system so it wasn't too bad.

The second installment of the FF7 remake looks absolutely beautiful but I fear the story will continue to unravel and become worse, so maybe take that with a grain of salt.

Other companies have done us so much worse over the past several years, that considering using some new technology (and hearing from a CEO doesn't mean much to me honestly) as opposed to becoming as hyper woke as western studios is not much of a concern for me yet.
