Square Enix has always been keen on exploring the applications of NFT to its business, and they're mixing Final Fantasy VII figures with it.

NFT bundles… yeah, no thanks.

Eonjay662d ago

This. I like the statue but I don't trust NFTs. I'm sure that everyone heard about the cases where peoples's NFTs were stolen. Does this mean someone could just hack it and steal the digital statue from you?

KyRo662d ago

As someone who doesn't follow crypto and NFTs, am I wrong in thinking the whole market has crashed according to media outlets? Why are SE doing this now when the ship (for now) has seemingly sailed?

It has massively failed for Ubisoft already. Is this a case of ignorance, poor timing or purely greed in the hope they will rise again after this so called crash?

Mobis-New-Nest662d ago

Let's not be hasty, I think you need to reconsider your answer, with the money you'll be paying to Square-Enix, their revenue will go up, their employees will have a much larger paycheck and you will get the satisfaction of paying for their new home or car or vacation. That makes you a very good human being and nothing feels better than being a very good human being.

RedDevils661d ago

Or better they should fund me.

I swear people don't read anything but headlines anymore.

"Both versions will include a exchange ticket to redeem for a digital certificate of authenticity on the Efinity network, which will require the ENJIN wallet app.”

This is a valid use case for NFT's and will be a way to verify that you got the real product and not the Wish.com/Alibaba knockoff.

Abriael662d ago (Edited 662d ago )

"valid" uh?
Only until you notice that Bring Arts figures are usually MUCH less expensive than this one, and there is no option to purchase the figure without the NFT (the Digital Plus Edition gives you access to a 3D model on a website for an additional ludicrous $30 surcharge but both editions have the NFT).

So no. Valid my foot. It's an excuse to charge the user more while providing very, very debatable value.

H9662d ago

So NFT amiibo? Very innovative there Square Enix, you really needed to sell studios to achieve this

northpaws662d ago

And extra $30 for a digital version of the figure? Wtf is that? I can save the image above and get a digital version of the figure.

Digital collectable is just ridiculous, where they can generate trillions of them with no extra cost, it lost all "collect" value.

Knightofelemia662d ago

NFT's are a joke the way South Park joked about them was great.

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda8d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5234d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212134d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5233d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5233d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani34d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum34d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman34d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim34d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

I disagree Batman
