On the Internet, more and more people are discussing Final Fantasy 7.
Obviously people are attracted by the new world view there.
More and more people are also beginning to explore the entire worldview of Final Fantasy 7.
Even if Yuxing Electronic Entertainment only reveals part of the world view, this group of loyal players will always use their amazing imagination to create new Final Fantasy 7 stories.
Just a few days after the most heated discussion, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment once again threw out some settings of Final Fantasy 7.
This time, the names of the main characters have been announced.
Claude, a man with a big sword on his back, has a mysterious identity and runs the business of Wanshiwu. As long as he is given money, he can do anything.
Alice, a flower girl, lives in the Fifth District and has an eccentric personality.
Tifa, a woman with strong fighting skills, is a member of the Avalanche organization base.
Barrett, a strong man with a bad temper, has one hand transformed into the shape of a machine gun, and has very powerful destructive power.
All four main characters were released this time, which once again attracted the attention of players.
Then, in just a few days, players have spontaneously started to create many derivative plots based on these characters. From this, we can also see that players have a deep understanding of the plot of Final Fantasy 7.
expectations.
In addition to the plot, players are also particularly happy to see such high-quality game CG animation.
Before Final Fantasy 7 came out, all game animations were not particularly exquisite.
Either it is expressed in the form of 2D animation, or it is a relatively poor real-time calculation animation.
After all, the development cost of previous games generally did not exceed five million US dollars, so it was naturally impossible to produce CG animations that were comparable to movie special effects.
But Youxing Electronic Entertainment is once again leading the trend.
In the past, many game companies only knew that Youxing Electronic Entertainment invested a lot of development funds to develop game content.
But they don’t know the specific development direction of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
They previously thought that a game with a development cost of 10 million US dollars could produce dozens of hours of game content.
So wouldn’t the US$100 million claimed by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment include hundreds or even thousands of hours of content?
However, they all thought wrong.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment has not expanded much in game content.
It is true that the game content is rich enough to attract players.
But the attention span of a game player is still limited after all.
This kind of stand-alone game that is only driven by plot and has no social interaction between players is definitely not as good as online games. The styles and expressions of the two sides are also completely different.
Unrestrainedly extending the game time will only make players bored, and eventually they will feel boring about the game.
The normal completion time of the game is kept within forty hours, which is a very reasonable range. This is the upper limit of an average player's attention to a stand-alone game.
Of course, branch plots and explorable mysterious content can be added to a certain extent, but under normal circumstances it should never exceed one hundred hours.
By the way, games like farming and city building should be excluded from this.
This type of game is naturally a time-killing game, and it cannot be confused with a game that is only story-driven.
Well, since we can't increase the total game duration for too long, the only thing we can do is to add depth.
Make the picture more beautiful, attract people's attention from the beginning, polish the plot to perfection, and integrate audio-visual language, music, and animation special effects.
Everything can be raised as high as possible.
The game does not need to be strengthened in one dimension, but improved in many aspects.
This is a similar routine to American special effects blockbusters.
Facts have proved that Youxing Electronic Entertainment’s strategy seems to be right.
At least now the community discussion of Final Fantasy 7 is quite hot.
Other game companies do not have relevant statistics, but based on their observations in the Final Fantasy 7 community, the number of active people every day is at least 70,000 or 80,000.
The number of people who are willing to be active in the game community are often the most enthusiastic players. This only accounts for less than 10% of the official players. In extreme cases, it can reach 1% or even a few tenths of a percent.
If converted in this way, then the final sales volume of Final Fantasy 7 may already exceed one million.
This makes other game companies somewhat envious, but before the game is officially released, these companies do not dare to take too many risks and plan to continue to wait and see.
Time also passes unconsciously.
1999 is a very special year.
This is the time when people all over the world are about to enter the new millennium.
Everyone feels as if they have become the master of this era, and they have witnessed with their own eyes that the era has moved to a new level.
And this year, all kinds of things have begun to explode rapidly.
The latest technological products, the latest literary works, film and television works, animation, cartoons, games, etc.
For industries with decades of history, such as the film and television industry and the animation industry, this year can be said to be a year of fighting between gods.
Many film and television companies or animation studios have launched their best works, and they seem to want to use this special year to prove their strength.
Literary works are also in full bloom. Every country has outstanding writers publishing their proud works, and they also want to gain a reputation for themselves before the arrival of the new millennium.
Whenever Zhu Youxing sees the prosperity of the cultural industry in this world, he has to wonder if there are other travelers in this world besides himself.
Because every work is really good.
But most of these works are different from the ones I saw in my previous life, so even if other time-travelers arrive, they should probably come from other parallel worlds.
Among these industries, only the newly emerging industry of video games is very different.
In other industries, a hundred schools of thought contend, and each has its own strengths.
But there seems to be only one king of video games, and that is Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Of course, other game companies can also have their own shining points, but in the end they still can't compete with the endless stream of excellent works from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
Other game companies are very cautious when developing games. They need to consider costs and profits. Even if they are cautious, their business conditions will also go up and down.
Although there are occasional works that make people shine, at least for now, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's status is still unshakable.
As for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment themselves, they have been on an upward trajectory since they founded the gaming industry and have almost never stopped. This kind of performance is simply disappointing.
