We have Final Fantasy 11 to thank for everything being on Discord, now—the app's co-creator made its prototype to talk strategy with his MMO buds

An image of a faelike creature posing stylishly in Final Fantasy 11.

It feels a little like everything's on Discord, nowadays. A developer wants to share news about a game? Discord. Want to run a tabletop game? Discord. Want to organise a meet-up in the real world? I kid you not, Discord. I went to a coffee morning this weekend and was flashbanged with an ask for my Discord handle. It is inescapable.

It's not the best to have everything in one spot—it feels like I'm in as many servers as I have hair follicles nowadays, and while I'm waiting for the inevitable Ragnarök (the mythological apocalypse, not the game) of the app with worry, I can now tell you that we've at least, in part, got MMORPG Final Fantasy 11 to blame.
