Game Development Giant

The influence of Final Fantasy in Japan is not as much as that of Dragon Quest, but this is not the case in the world as a whole.

Of course, the production of Final Fantasy was influenced by Hironobu Sakaguchi's collaboration with Jester and American games, so the style is not that extreme. Therefore, in Japan, their sales and reputation are higher than those of Final Fantasy Dragon Quest is weaker, but precisely because the style of Final Fantasy adds more European and American factors, this game is very popular in Europe and the United States.

Far more popular than Dragon Quest.

However, Yuuji Tsui didn't take the limitations of his game to heart. In his mind, he just had to do his part well. As for Europeans and Americans not liking his game? For him, if you don't like it, don't like it. His games are only made for people who like his games.

Due to the time difference, the release date in Japan will definitely be one day earlier than in the United States.

Although Final Fantasy is not as famous as Dragon Quest, it has the excellent quality of the first film after all. In addition, since Yuji Naka's Phantasy Star, there has been no one on the market for a long time. There have been excellent RPG games, so many players, whether they are fans of Final Fantasy or not, are looking forward to this game. In Ginza, Tokyo, where it was first released, it was even more crowded. Because it was not a weekend, many students who were going to school actually skipped class to queue up to wait for the release, according to a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun. A day ago, enthusiastic players camped in front of the flagship store of Mars Entertainment, where the game was launched, waiting for its release.

The weather is not too warm in mid-April. Moreover, at least 300 people stayed up late to queue up, and the weather was still very cold at night. Therefore, when some people who came early in the morning arrived, they saw many people with unhappy faces.

However, it can be seen that their faces are very excited.

It is said that the visual effects of Final Fantasy are better than those of Phantasy Star! A boy around 20 years old with pimples on his face chattered to his friends around him, gesticulating while talking. , seems to be describing what kind of game Phantasy Star is. Let me tell you, Itagaki, Phantasy Star produced by Yuji Naka is definitely the best RPG I have ever played. That picture is simply... The man named Itagaki by his friends yawned impatiently. He looked up at the still closed door of the Mars Entertainment Ginza flagship store. It was still closed without any suspense.

I would have almost fallen asleep, if not...

Itagaki yawned and muttered impatiently. He stayed up all night last night, not to study, but to gamble. Itagaki is a genius. When he was in high school, he was admitted to Waseda University without any difficulty just by casually reading. It seemed that no course in the university could be difficult for him. There is almost no need to review and you can get straight A's in every subject.

But he has a very big problem, that is, he likes gambling.

Last night he was playing cards with some friends in his apartment. Itagaki's luck has been very bad recently, and he lost a lot in the end. Several of his friends have a good relationship with Itagaki and plan to return their winnings to him. However, Itagaki's gambling skills are very good. Unless he wins back the money he loses, it is impossible for him to accept gifts from others.

However, Itagaki's luck last night was really bad. Even if a few of his friends cheated, he couldn't win any money, and instead lost the little money he had.

Although Itagaki's gambling is good, this is the only living expenses he has left this month. Although he really wants to get some back, his consistent principles continue to prevent him from doing so, but his eyes still keep aiming at The money he had just lost was seen in the eyes of several of his friends.

Itagaki is very popular, and he is very loyal, and his friends are also very good. They actually wanted to return the winning money to him before, but because of Itagaki's persistence, they have played until now. They met Itagaki's After looking at each other, they looked at each other and thought of an idea.

These three are all video game enthusiasts, and two of them are admirers of Jester. Their favorite game is Jester's Fire Emblem. At first, the two of them called this game an immortal masterpiece. Of course, the two of them fell in love with Final Fantasy by the way. Although this game is not as good as Fire Emblem, it is still barely enough.

The other was a Nintendo fan at the beginning and had a soft spot for Shigeru Miyamoto's games, especially The Legend of Zelda. However, after he played The Legend of Zelda, which was highly recommended by his two Jester fan friends, After Fire Emblem, he couldn't help but admit that this game was indeed much better than The Legend of Zelda. However, after Enix released Dragon Quest, he fell in love with it crazily. Game, I even feel that Fire Emblem is nothing compared to Dragon Quest.

For a staunch fan of Dragon Quest, this classmate of Itagaki naturally disliked Final Fantasy and Hironobu Sakaguchi who often criticized Dragon Quest and Yuji Tsui.

This time the two sides attacked and ridiculed each other. Naturally, the Dragon Quest fan was on the opposite side of the other two Jester fans.

Such Itagaki, tomorrow Mars Entertainment's new game, the second game of Final Fantasy produced by Sakaguchi Hironobu, will be released, but we don't have much time. If you go and buy back two copies of the game for us, just think of it as losing tonight. Our money. One person said while pushing the money in front of Itagaki in front of Itagaki, while the other pushed the money back in the same way.

The other one originally had no interest in the second part of Final Fantasy. The only game he wants to wait for now is Dragon Quest II, which will be released in a week. However, this is not the time to talk about this. , others found an excuse to return the winning money, so I had to pay it back, and I really had no intention of asking for the money.

He also knew very well about Itagaki's situation.

Seeing such a scene, Itagaki was also very grateful. He promised his three friends that he would go to Tokyo to help them buy the game tomorrow.

So, this morning, Itagaki went out very early and took the Shinkansen all the way to Tokyo and entered Ginza. On the way there, he met an alumnus who had the same purpose as him, and the two of them walked together.

Putting these things down for the time being, Itagaki became impatient after listening to the campus man next to him chattering for a long time. He studied law, and he really wasn't interested in games. He didn't even understand him. Why are my best friends so crazy about this childish game of jumping around on TV?

But being with a few enthusiastic game enthusiasts every day, naturally, I have become more familiar with many things, and naturally I know more.

When he heard that the person next to him was speaking eloquently, he took the initiative to chat with the person with the idea of ​​​​spending time. Itagaki waited for the other person to finish speaking, and he said casually: This is called Jester. .Li’s game is really outstanding?”

Then, this Itagaki alumnus looked at Itagaki in disbelief and replied in an unbelieving tone: Haven't you heard of Jester Lee?

no.

Itagaki shook his head. He had heard of the name Jester Lee. How could he not know the name that his friends whispered in his ears almost every day? He continued, I have heard of it, but I I just heard from friends that he is a good game designer, and he seems to be talking about the boss of a game company, and that’s all he seems to know...

Unexpectedly, after listening to Itagaki's words, this alumnus of Itagaki immediately straightened up and said in a corrective tone: To be precise, Jester Lee is not a good game designer. He is the world's greatest game designer. The best and unique designer in the world, he is not the boss of a game company, he is the boss of the largest game company in the world.

The boss of the largest gaming company?

Itagaki didn't know much about the video game industry. He only often heard the names of some games, characters or companies from a few of his friends. Among them, those of his friends mentioned The most popular game companies seemed to be one called Nintendo and the other called Mars Entertainment. He was not familiar with Mars Entertainment, which was said to be an American company.

But he is much familiar with Nintendo. In Japan, Nintendo is considered a big company.

Even when Itagaki had nothing to do, he was still thinking that it would be a good choice for him to work as a legal consultant at Nintendo after graduation. Therefore, Itagaki asked: Then how is this company you mentioned better than Nintendo? Like? I heard that this is our largest game company in Japan.
