Square Enix Creates Virtual Currency, Sells for Real Money

Apparently feeling that paying for things with actual currency is overrated, Square Enix has created its own purely digital currency. Dubbed the Square Enix Crysta, this new money is to be used in online community games, the MMO Fantasy Earth Zero, and the Square-Enix online store. One Crysta is equivalent to one Japanese yen, and can be purchased in increments of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, and 10,000.

Whether this will be just another form of for-sale points akin to those of Microsoft or Sony remains to be seen. The Crysta is currently only available in Japan.
