You said in your talk that it's more fun to destroy things that are beautiful. Why do you think that is? Motokura: That's a tough question. I think part of it is the surprise element, something that was so elegantly put together, beautiful. When it's destroyed, it goes to nothing. And that gap between these two states is what creates delight and surprise, I think. Did you ever during development go to one of those destruction rooms where you get a bat and you just break things? Motokura: No, I've never been, but now that you described it it sounds kind of fun. We would've wanted to go. So do they have a lot of beautiful things for you to destroy? Some, but I also think you can bring your own things. So if you want to destroy your own beautiful things, you can. Motokura: Interesting.

Bilbo came at it before it could disappear and stuck it with his sword right in the eyes. Then it went mad and leaped and danced and flung out its legs in horrible jerks, until he killed it with another stroke; and then he fell down and remembered nothing more for a long while.

In recent years, Kondo and his team have given a lot of thought to concluding the Trails series. He said he doesn't yet know exactly when it will come to an end but that they will probably cover one more area of the game's world before finishing. "We want to have a strong finish in the end, and after that we'll think of what we want to do for the series, whether to just end it there or continue on," he said. "But first we're going to focus our full attention on getting a great ending."

"The ultimate goal in the Super Game strategy is to create a game so revolutionary that it attracts far more active users than any of the Group's games to date. One key to achieving this goal is whether we can draw together a large community, involving not only players but also streamers who stream the game and viewers who watch their videos," said Satomi. "That kind of community expands and further develops game content, adding value to the game that is unimagined by developers, and sparking a broader movement—which can then draw in even more users and grow the game's presence dramatically."

Mantling, also known as mantle-taking or apotheosis, is the process of attaining godhood through the use of one or more of the esoteric methods known as the Six Walking Ways. Summarized with the phrase "walk like them until they must walk like you", the concept of mantling entails Mythopoeia, reenacting the Mythic patterns established by the Et'Ada until their power is surrendered to the mantler. In the process, the mortal and the deity become metaphysically synonymous with one another, allowing the mortal to claim the office and sphere of the mantled deity for themselves, reshaping them in the process.

I heard Off The Grid is an NFT game. Is that true? Off The Grid is not an NFT game. It's a battle royale game with an optional NFT element. If you want to try out NFTs, you can; if you don't want to, you don't have to. It's entirely up to the player how they want to play the game, and the game is playable without dipping into NFTs.
