Youxing Electronic Entertainment's mobile game division is in full swing.

Their number is the smallest among all development teams, even now there are only more than 500 people.

But their vitality is the most abundant.

On the one hand, this is a new department, and the employees in the department are almost all young people in their early twenties. On the other hand, they also want to prove themselves and prove that their mobile game department is not inferior to other game development teams.

In such an environment, the level development of Candy Fun is very smooth. Zhu Youxing doesn't even need to pay much attention in the later stage. They can develop a variety of new gameplays in an endless stream. It's time to play.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Youxing felt relieved to let the mobile game department do the work.

Now mobile games are still in a stage of waiting for development.

In the original world, it seemed that every once in a while a super hit game would be born, as if the game would be an immediate success as long as it was developed.

But in fact these games just appeared at an opportune time.

The successful rise of these games is due to the continuous foreshadowing of the predecessors.

Now Zhu Youxing still has a few hit games on hand, but he thinks that the timing is not enough, and he has to wait a little longer. Before that, let the mobile game department make a fuss on its own.

Anyway, relying on the Candy Fun game, at least this department no longer has to worry about losing money.

Since the mobile game department does not need to pay too much attention in the short term, it is time to pay attention to its main business: the field of home consoles.

The research and development of switch has entered the stage of chip negotiation.

Professionals in the company have been negotiating with multiple chip manufacturers for a long time.

This stage will be rather boring and long, and Zhu Youxing also believes that they will eventually choose the most suitable chip manufacturer, and he just needs to wait for the result.

And the GSX host, which is still on sale, has finally ushered in a major product: Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core.

After a long period of preparation and publicity, the game is finally released.

The release time node happens to be late November, which is the traditional shopping boom time in the United States.

In Japan, in the United States, and in Europe, there were long queues on the day of the release.

Even under the premise that digital games have gradually become popular, many people still choose to buy games offline.

Because buying games offline will have a sense of reality.

Of course, the more important point is that games purchased offline can be resold later.

Some players who are not collectors usually resell the games they have finished playing, and then buy other games to play.

So many players actually spend very little on the game.

Video games have always been regarded as the lowest-cost form of entertainment, sometimes even cheaper than watching a movie.

You can only watch a movie for a few hours at a time, but video games can be played for days and nights if you want, and they contain much more content than movies.

"Aiko, why did we line up so early, yawn..."

At the entrance of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's directly-operated store in Akihabara, Tokyo, Kazumi, Yinchan, and Aiko, the Iron Triangle girls, are in the middle of a queue like a long queue.

Among them, Kazumi couldn't help yawning.

At five o'clock in the morning, Kazumi was pulled up by Aiko and ran to buy the latest video game.

Hemei couldn't understand why he had to rush over early in the morning to buy games, since online shopping is so easy now.

Even if you buy the physical version, you can buy it online, although it may take a few days longer.

No need to come and queue at all.

But Aiko persisted.

Aiko said: "Because you can get the autograph of the production team by queuing up here, don't you want to get the autograph of the production team of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core?"

Kazumi hesitated for a moment and said, "But... I'm so sleepy, it's okay if you come to buy it?"

Aiko said: "Each person can only buy two sets of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, and each person is only allowed to sign one name, so it must be more cost-effective for three people to buy together, isn't it?"

Yin Jiang agreed and said, "That's right, I've been waiting for the release of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core. How can I miss this opportunity to get an autograph? Kazumi, don't you lazy pig want to get an autograph?"

"Of course I want to, but...but...hey? You just called me a lazy pig, right? You're the lazy pig!"

"Hehe, whoever yawns is a lazy pig."

"You bastard..."

Aiko decisively ignored the bickering of the two guys, but stretched her neck to look in the direction of the shop entrance.

Now that the gates are open, people are starting to line up in an orderly fashion to get into the buying game.

As far as Aiko could see, she saw many older people.

Those people all looked like they were in their thirties, and some of them were even in their forties or fifties.

Because their foreheads are already shiny, it is easy to judge their age.

The average age of the people queuing up this time is very old.

"Three ladies, do you also like the Final Fantasy 7 series?"

While Aiko was looking around, an uncle in front of the three of them who looked about forty years old looked back at the three of them, and couldn't help asking.

Aiko nodded: "I like it very much. This story is really great. Uncle, do you like this game too?"

"Of course, this game is the first time I have regained the feeling of being young, so I must not miss this game when it is released."

Aiko said: "I see that there are also many older people queuing around."

"Well, these people should be the same as me. This can also prove the charm of this game." The uncle said sincerely, and at this moment there was still a faint light in his eyes.

He couldn't help but recall what it was like to play Final Fantasy for the first time.

It happened to be one night when he played the scene where Alice died.

He went to work that morning and heard other people discussing who died, and then that night he forcibly occupied the game console regardless of his son's feelings, and finally saw the scene that he might never forget in his life.

Alice's death is as sad as his lost youth.

Later, after he finished playing the game, his wife thoughtfully prepared a bowl of instant seaweed soup for him to relieve his emotions, but it touched him for a long time, but the only flaw that night was that he didn't eat, probably because his wife forgot Alright.

Aiko said: "This game was supervised by Mr. Takeyu himself throughout the production process. The quality of the game is naturally top-notch, and this Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core is also supervised by him throughout, so I think the quality must be fine."
