Square Enix actually stands for grandiose titles, especially in the RPG genre. Final Fantasy 16 or For spoken, the next big Highlights the publisher is missing from the New Year's letter but each track. The issues are much more abstract:
The Met averse: The renaming of Facebook in Meta looks Matsuda as a sign that it is in the met averse is not just a slogan, but a valid business model. But what exactly is meant by that? Primarily it comes to the combination of different services and technologies. In the letter, the cloud, I, the blockchain and XR are 5G (Extended Reality — that VR, AR, etc.) mentioned as investment opportunities. Matsuda also hopes that the met averse also have influences on the gaming industry is.
NFTs: Matsuda designated 2022 as NFTs: Year One. It should be the year in which creates the technology's breakthrough, and is profitable for publishers such as Square Enix. Despite some negative examples (like the speculative trading NFTs regardless of the value of the goods) he believes to NFTs that establish in the coming years in the company and be equated with physical goods.

How the fans react to the announcements from Square Enix?
As mentioned at the outset, there was so far not good when a publisher or developer studio NFTs wanted to integrate into its games. In the case of Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl had those responsible discard their plans even to the Shit storm curb.
More surprising is Matsuda's assessment of the situation.
