Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

With the popularity of "The Advent of the Son", online players have also discussed the content of "Final Fantasy".

Because of what is shown, it still makes players very strange from the content point of view.

If it's just a movie, it's nothing, but the key is that after the news announced by Nebula Games before, many people are clear about one thing, that is, the "Descent of the Son" shows the world view of the game "Final Fantasy".

But the background of this worldview in the movie is simply too complicated.

There is the huge mechanical beauty of steampunk, as well as the magic of magic style, coupled with the cold weapon swordsmanship, and the setting of the so-called magic spar, like science fiction and fantasy, which is very confusing.

In the expectation and curiosity of players, the official promotional video of "Final Fantasy" has finally arrived.

In fact, during this period, players can also feel Chen Xu's attention, not just the CG movie "The Advent of the Holy Son" that seems to be a big money-burner.

After the movie was released, the subway billboards and commercial plazas in some first- and second-tier cities in China were large-screen advertisements.

There are advertisements related to "Final Fantasy" and "The Advent of the Son".

Although in terms of popularity, "The Advent of the Son" is higher than the topic of "Final Fantasy".

But no matter how the relationship between the two is said, it is like conjoined babies. The movie "The Advent of the Son" cannot avoid "Final Fantasy"

In addition, it was produced by Chen Xu, and until now this game has been covered with a mysterious veil, and it has not been revealed at all except for the relevant world view background.

Many players who have been following this game, as well as viewers who are curious about the movie, can't wait to click in after knowing the appearance of the promotional video.

They want to see, will Chen Xu bring you new surprises this time?

………………

Click on the promotional video, the beginning is still the relevant LOGO of Nebula Games, and it will gradually disappear.

A simple BGM sounded to a tune composed of arpeggios.

The first is that the C major chord consists of 4 ascending notes played back and forth in sequence, and then the A minor chord is the same as the previous order pattern.

This is the famous Crystal Overture in the Final Fantasy series.

At the beginning, it was only based on the limitations of FC and SFC functions, and only 3 tones could be used.

But later on, the tune became the hallmark of the Final Fantasy series.

After dark, a starry sky appeared in the video screen.

On the top of the windmill water tower at night, young Claude and Tifa were sitting there.

'What do you want to say to me? ’

With his back to Tifa, Claude put his hand on his thigh and said seriously.

'I'm leaving the village in the spring and going to Midgar...I want to be a Shinra warrior. ’

'Become the strongest Shinra warrior like Sephiroth! ’

With Claude's words, many viewers who have watched the CG movie of the advent of the Son of God are a little dazed.

In Advent of the Son, it was actually said that Sephiroth and Claude were once Shinra's special forces,

But the original Claude joined Shinra because of his longing for Sephiroth, which was not mentioned in the movie, so many players showed surprised expressions when they saw this, and also expressed concern to Sephiroth and the later Claude was curious about why he became the enemy of life and death.

The next second, the camera switched instantly, and Claude, who had become a Shinra warrior with a big sword on his back, appeared in the picture in front of the Shinra Demon Stove.

Beside him is Tifa and a girl in red who has never been seen in the movie.

I don't know what it's called, but just looking at this shape has already made many players feel a little uncontrollable.

A female character who doesn't lose to Tifa at all!

As for the white-haired Sephiroth in front of Claude, with a 40-meter long knife in his hand, he was subconsciously ignored by the player.

"Really you? Really you?"

Looking at Sephiroth's back, Claude couldn't believe it.

Next, the screen switches to various departments in Shinra.

It seems that Shinra is planning something.

But in the next moment, a scene that surprised everyone appeared.

The camera came to a nightclub.

A group of dancers dressed as bees are dancing on the stage, under the light of the lights.

A gay-looking man named Anian stepped out of the crowd.

'Welcome to the House of Bees, Claude. ’

'True beauty depends on what you think in your heart. ’

‘Claude, listen carefully, beauty is not divided between men and women. ’

The brush was drawn on Claude's face, his hair was combed into two braids, and he was wearing a black evening dress.

'very perfect! ’

Look at Claude, and then the fireworks on the stage explode.

Tifa, Sephiroth, and the girl in red should all go to the side, the female Claude is the only god!

Looking at the women's version of Claude, all the players watching the video widened their eyes.

I didn't expect that Claude, who finally tore Sephiroth in the Son of God, actually had a picture of women's clothes!

And what's with this inexplicable little excitement?

A series of mashups followed.

The explosion of the magic furnace and the racing chase of Roche.

Crimson Thirteen who can speak like a wolf leopard.

The last scene once again returned to the scene where Cloud saw Sephiroth before the Furnace.

'What a touching reunion! ’

The four eyes met, accompanied by the wave of the sword in his hand.

A black feather slowly descended from the sky, and the next moment the camera gave a close-up of Sephiroth's emotionless eyes.

Then the video ends.

[I am... will not become a memory! 】

Although there is no such line, but thinking of Sephiroth's indifferent eyes at the end, this sentence involuntarily appeared in the minds of all players who have watched 'The Advent of the Son'.

After watching the "Final Fantasy" promo video in less than three minutes.

After a short period of excitement, countless players quickly discovered a bigger problem.

That is, before looking at it, their idea was to see if they could find out some of the 'advent of the Son', but they didn't know the answer to the question.

But after looking at it, they found out.

Instead of figuring out the problems that puzzled them before, it created more problems.

The first is Shinra Corporation.

In the movie, Shinra is not very impressive.

Because at that time, Midgar had been destroyed a lot.

What makes Shinra impressive is the somewhat amusing Raynor and his brother Luther.

But in the game's promotional video, players can see Shinra in its heyday.

The huge steampunk city simply makes every player who sees it feel shocked from the bottom of his heart.

In addition, there is an extra girl in red, which is not mentioned much in the movie, but it seems that there is also a very important role in the game.

There is also the sentence between Sephiroth and Claude: a touching reunion.

This means that Claude and Sephiroth seem to have known each other before, and it is very likely that Claude had fought with Sephiroth once before, and it ended with Claude's victory.

This intricate relationship, as well as the huge world view revealed by just the promotional video, makes many players feel a little confused.

Of course none of this matters.

The really key point is that the characters in the game are simply too attractive to players.

The handsome Claude, the black long straight Tifa, the new girl in the red dress, and even the cold Sephiroth.

Especially the BGM that 'dengdengdengdeng' when he appeared, is even more domineering.

Although Sephiroth was killed directly in his own BGM in Advent of the Son, this did not prevent his sense of oppression as a big boss.

Especially the sentence in the Advent of the Son: I will not be a memory.

It can be said that it is full of charm.

This also allowed Sephiroth to fight Claude even though it was only at the end of the Son's descent.

But it is also very popular among many audiences, especially the audience of girls.

No way, who made Sephiroth so good looking?

The ugly BOSS belongs to the kind of boss who deserves to be beaten to death by the protagonist. If he can't wait to kill him, he must be resurrected and killed again, and his ashes will be raised.

But even if the handsome BOSS is the villain, there will still be a large number of Yan Party, and even if there is nothing too outrageous and resentful, the latter can be directly washed in vain.

Why is 99% of SSRs in card games are handsome and beautiful character portraits?

That's it.

Although the saying that appearance equals justice is quite wrong, it still makes sense that appearance equals sales.

Of course, a game can't be all pretty girls and handsome guys. It will also be interspersed with some supporting characters who are not very long but can be said to be used to set off the glorious image of the protagonist. After all, only the contrast can highlight how handsome the protagonist is.

In a sense, the mighty and reliable-looking Barrett on the Avalanche team plays such a role.

As for the final women's costume, Claude, it made many players smile.

Because there are still many such spoof eggs in the games under Nebula Games.

For example, the female outfit Link in "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", the wedding princess in Mario's wedding dress in "Super Mario: Odyssey", and Yingying in "Xenoblade Chronicles"...
