On the Internet, more and more people are discussing Final Fantasy 7.

Obviously people are attracted by the new worldview there.

There are also more and more people beginning to explore the entire world view of Final Fantasy 7.

Even if Yuxing Electronic Entertainment only introduces part of the world view, this group of loyal players will always use their amazing brains to create brand new stories of Final Fantasy 7.

That is, after a few days of people's most heated discussions, Youxing Electronic Entertainment once again threw out part of the 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 is in the business of Master House. He can do anything as long as he gives money.

Alice, a flower girl, lives in the Fifth District and has a quirky personality.

Tifa, a woman with great fighting skills, is a member of the base of the Avalanche organization.

Barrett, a grumpy and strong man, has one hand transformed into the form of a machine gun, which has a very powerful destructive power.

All four main characters were released this time, which once again attracted the attention of the players.

Then, in just a dozen days, the players have spontaneously created many derivative plots along these few characters. expectations.

In addition to the plot, players are also very happy to see such high-quality game CG animation.

Before Final Fantasy 7 came out, all game animations were not particularly polished.

Either it is expressed in the form of 2D animation, or it is a poor real-time calculation animation.

After all, the previous game development costs generally did not exceed five million dollars, and naturally it was impossible to produce CG animations with special effects comparable to movies.

But Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is once again leading the trend.

Before, many game companies only knew that Youxing Electronic Entertainment invested a lot of development funds to develop the content of the game.

But they don't know the specific development direction of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

They were still thinking that a game with a development cost of 10 million dollars could produce dozens of hours of game content.

So wouldn't the 100 million US dollars claimed by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment have hundreds or even thousands of hours of content?

However, they were all wrong.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment did not expand the game content much.

It is true that the game content is rich enough to attract players.

But a game player's attention is still limited after all.

This kind of stand-alone game, which is only driven by the plot and has no social interaction between players, is definitely inferior to online games, and the styles and forms of expression of the two sides are also completely different.

Prolonging the game without restraint will only make the player bored, and eventually create a boring feeling for the game.

The normal clearance time of the game is kept within 40 hours, which is a very reasonable range. This is the upper limit of an ordinary player's attention to a stand-alone game.

Of course, the branch plot and the explorable mysterious content can be added to a certain extent, but under normal circumstances, it must not exceed 100 hours.

By the way, games such as farming and city building should be excluded from this.

This type is naturally a super time-killing game, and it cannot be confused with a game that is only driven by a plot.

Well, since the total duration of the game cannot be stretched for too long, the only thing that can be done is to make depth.

Improve the picture to be more beautiful, attract people's attention from the beginning, polish the plot to perfection, and combine audio-visual language, music, and animation special effects.

Everything can be raised as high as possible.

The game does not require single-dimensional de-enhancement, but multi-faceted improvement.

This is a similar routine to American special effects blockbusters.

Facts have proved that the strategy of Youxing Electronic Entertainment seems to be correct.

At least for now, the discussions in the Final Fantasy 7 community are quite heated.

Other game companies don't have relevant statistics, but based on their observations in the Final Fantasy 7 community, there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 active people every day.

The number of people who are willing to be active in the game community are often the most enthusiastic players, which only account for less than 10% of the official players, and there are extremes of 1% or even a few tenths of a percent.

If converted in this way, the final sales of Final Fantasy 7 may already exceed one million.

This somewhat envied other game companies, but before the game was officially released, these companies did not dare to take too much risk and invested, and still planned to continue to wait and see.

Time also passed imperceptibly.

1999 was 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 masters of this era, and they have witnessed the era to a new level with their own eyes.

And this year, all kinds of things have also begun to blow out rapidly.

The latest technological products, the latest literary works, film and television works, animation, animation, games and so on.

For decades-old industries such as the film and television industry and the animation industry, this year can also be called the year when gods fight.

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 flourishing. Every country has outstanding writers who publish their favorite works, and they also want to win a name 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 travelers come, I am afraid they should 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 specialty.

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 bright spots, but after all, they still can't match the excellent works of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Other game companies develop games carefully, they need to consider the cost, they need to worry about the income, and their operating conditions are also ups and downs when they are cautious.

Although there are occasional works that are eye-catching, at least for now, the status of Youxing Electronic Entertainment is still unshakable.

As for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment itself, they have been going up since they started the game industry, and they have hardly stopped. This kind of achievement is simply hopeless.
