Super Game Empire

Chapter 166 Square's life and death

The world's largest sales throne of RPG games, such temptation cannot be refused. The two of them were suspicious and listened attentively, wanting to see what Yang Yun means.

Looking at the nervous expressions of the two, Yang Yun introduced easily: "Take Square Game's standard development process model as an example, maybe you can understand it better.

The first step is to build game diagrams for plots, characters, and key scenes. Someone in our Fengyun Company has started to do this, and I myself have also participated in it. In addition, with the help of the screenwriter of Pharaoh Control, we have rich experience.

The second step is to fight system, scene map, and make CG short animation. We have dug up many core designers from Enix. The combat system is not a problem, and the scene map is not a problem, and there is Ghibli

The studio provides us with CG. I believe you must have heard of director Hayao Miyazaki?

The third step is to implement the game. In this link, please believe in the strength of our Fengyun Company. After several years of design, we have a set of engine programs, and the coding efficiency is twice that of ordinary companies.

To give an example, we only took half a year to do the Romance of the Three Kingdoms slg, while Glory, Namco, is more than one year.

So, as long as we want, we can develop games like dq and your ff at any time."

The more Miyamoto Masashi listened, the more frightened he became. If Yang Yun really had enough resources in every step, and had the assistance of Pharaoh Cong and Shunsoft's core designers, there would be no resistance.

Even if there is one, it is just a small amount of imitation and reference. Judging from past experience, the game made by Fengyun is the least afraid of these small details.

The Three Kingdoms, famous generals, Snowman brothers, and King of Fighters, are all entangled with their respective competitors and are suspected of plagiarism, but they still have the right to make the case and gain the upper hand!

Hiroshi Sakaguchi asked uncertainly: "Since you are all ready to develop, why do you still look for us? Isn't it more beneficial to develop exclusively by yourself?"

Masashi Miyamoto woke up and Fengyun was ready. Then just do it, why do you still say so much nonsense?

Yang Yun smiled faintly: "If Square Will join, I wouldn't have made this epic RPG game. The reason is very simple, and you will understand it as soon as you hear it. First of all, independent research and development is a vast project, starting from scratch

The start time is too long, it takes too much resources, and it is an epic game. I believe both of you have a deep understanding.”

Hiroshi Sakaguchi sighed deeply. RPG games are difficult to do, and the epic workload is even more terrifying. Who knows the hardships better than them?

Yang Yun continued: "Secondly. My real goal is SFC. In terms of time, we Sega is not the best. So I plan to win over Nintendo allies.

Enix is ​​unwilling to jump from Nintendo's camp, so I have to be an enemy of them. I will definitely live to die. Is Square's biggest competitor not the Dragon Quest? Are you willing to stand with them now

On the same front, join forces to be enemies with me?"

This is the biggest headache for Masashi Miyamoto. He was originally an opponent, but it was difficult to fight. Now he has become a three-country stalemate, and there is an extra strong enemy for no reason. In future generations, it really means he is even shot while lying down.

.

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Now, Final Fantasy has only been released to the third generation, Dragon Quest has only been released to the fourth generation, and neither of them has developed the SFC version. At this time, there is an excellent opportunity to switch to the platform, which is to see Skwell.

How did you choose?"

Masashi Miyamoto asked: "Although Sega accounts for 32% of the share of TV game consoles, Nintendo still has the upper hand. The first three generations of players in our Final Fantasy are all in the Nintendo camp. If they change the platform rashly, what should those customers do?

?”

Yang Yun asked back: "Under the suppression of Dragon Quest, how many cartridges have you sold in the first three generations? Are there 3 million copies in total? And how many players are waiting for your game on the Sega MD platform? Past customers

, If you lose part of it, you will also get part of it. The loss will not be too big, and we need to look at the future."

Masashi Miyamoto asked: "Can Sega guarantee to surpass Nintendo in the future?"

Yang Yun laughed: "Of course! This is the goal I have always pursued! Just look at our development history and you will know it, from 15% to 32%. If Square is joining and joining us against Enix, I dare

Ensure that after this year, this data can be increased to 40%!"

Hiroshi Sakaguchi was a little disbelief: "There are so many?"

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Finance Fantasy's cumulative sales of 3 million are all in Japan, right? In the North American market, we, Sega, have the upper hand, and with the handheld machine, don't Square don't want to go overseas markets.

On development?”

lure!

Quite a great temptation!

Masashi Miyamoto and Hiroshi Sakaguchi were really moved. In Japan, because the Dragon Quest was famous early and sold a lot, the final fantasy was always suppressed and could not be lifted. They tried their best to do nothing,

I can only be the second child for a few years.

Square has already begun to make plans for the expansion of overseas European and American markets, but the unsatisfactory Nintendo has not released 16 consoles, resulting in the 16-bit Sega's private s being in the European and American markets being the first to be popular, and the 8-bit FC platform Final Fantasy

There is no improvement in sales.

It was difficult to wait until SFC was launched, but North American version of Snes will take another year to launch. Square has just missed the third generation of games, so he can only postpone the plan and let Final Fantasy 4 and Snes go on the market together. That's probably

It was delayed until the end of 1991 or early 1992.

You should know that Sega's North American version of gene private s has been sold since 1989. It has been two years since then. It can be imagined how much resistance the snes, who have been late for more than two years, will face in the North American market.

How difficult will Square's overseas expansion plan become!

Be the second child forever?

No! Square never thought that they firmly believed that they were the king of RPG games!

Seeing that Masashi Miyamoto and Hiroshi Sakaguchi were a little loose, Yang Yun threw another bombshell: "Did Square receive Nintendo's notification to join the development camp of a CD-rom game console?"

Miyamoto Masashi was shocked: "How did you know?"

Yang Yun smiled: "It's no secret. Namco, Hudson, Korome, Capcom, Square, Enix, and I also know, Hudson, Namco, because

Dissatisfied with Nintendo's request for a game patent, he is secretly contacting some manufacturers. I think Square..."

He deliberately did not continue to say it because these were enough. Yang Yun saw a shocked expression on Miyamoto Masashi's face. He looked so exciting!

The copyright battle for cd-rom games is the beginning of Nintendo's decline and the beginning of Sony's entry into the public eye.

This case was carefully studied when Yang Yun made an analysis report on the game industry before his rebirth, so he was very clear about it.

Nintendo offended many cooperative game suppliers because of its arrogance and domineering nature. Nintendo's six tigers have left half of it, causing its quality management standards to almost collapse and have no binding force anymore. Many manufacturers are a game in many games.

On sale on a platform.

Moreover, in this matter, Nintendo betrayed Sony and stabbed Sony hard, which aroused great hatred from Sony. In the end, Sony invested a huge amount of R&D funds and forced its own game console playstation, which made Nintendo miserable.

From then on, Nintendo fell into the ranks of second-rate manufacturers.

Miyamoto Masashi stood up and said, "President Yang waited, I need time to discuss it."

Yang Yun smiled and nodded. The two of them quickly left the conference room with their faces ashen, without saying a word, and were obviously absent-minded. With the surprised gazes of the employees outside the door, they hurried to the president's office of Miyamoto Masashi.

"President, this is..." A fat programmer asked anxiously.

"It seems that the situation is not good!" Several older employees saw something and shook their heads and said.

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, and many new female employees couldn't help crying. They couldn't bear to leave this company, and no one wanted to see Square fall down!

"Why are you crying?" Deputy Minister of R&D Department Daiyu Watanabe scolded: "Until everything is confirmed, no one is allowed to discuss it! All return to my post!"

The employees sat back to their seats, and the crying staff quickly wiped away their tears. Only Watanabe Daiyu knew in his heart that he could only comfort the employees' hearts for a short time. In fact, he was also very scared in his heart.

As one of Square's oldest employees, Watanabe Daiyu only saw Masashi Miyamoto's expression once, which was the debate before the company was about to dissolve.

It seems that Square has really reached the moment of life and death decision!

In the president's office, Masashi Miyamoto asked directly: "What do you think of joining Sega?"

Hiroshi Sakaguchi smiled bitterly: "Do we have any choice? Actually, what I care most about is whether their purpose is to obtain ownership of Final Fantasy after joining Sega? Or simply acquire our company?"

Miyamoto Masashi was silent. This was something he didn't want to see. The final fantasy was that the children they raised were raised. How could he give up if he said he would give up? And it was impossible for him to accept the acquisition of Square!

If the three-party RPG game competition and Final Fantasy loses, it is because they are not strong enough and cannot blame others.

But now Sega wins over them, really won’t interfere?

Could it be that Sega is really that...full of kindness?

Miyamoto Masashi's body couldn't help but shudder. Who said Sega was full of kindness?

Just look at its opponents!

Regarding this question, Yang Yun looked at the two people who returned and laughed: "Since President Miyamoto is willing to listen to my suggestions, I will say it."
