   Chapter 333 The Desperate King

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

   Obviously people are attracted by the new world view there.

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

  Even if Yuxing Electronic Entertainment only shows some of the worldview introductions, this group of loyal players will always use their surprising brains to create a brand new Final Fantasy 7 story.

   That is, a few days after the most heated discussions, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment once again threw out some 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, has a mysterious identity, and is in the business of the Master's House. As long as he gives money, he can do anything.

  Alice, a flower girl, lives in the 5th block and has a quirky personality.

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

  Barrett, a grumpy strong man, one hand has been 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 players.

Then, in just ten days, players have spontaneously created many derivative plots along these characters. From this, you can also see players' opinions on this Final Fantasy 7 plot. expectations.

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

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

   is either represented by 2D animation, or it is a poor real-time calculation animation.

   After all, the development cost of previous games generally did not exceed five million US dollars, and naturally it was impossible to produce CG animations comparable to movie special effects.

   But Youxing Electronic Entertainment is once again leading the way.

   Before, 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 Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

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

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

   But they were all wrong.

  Youxing Electronic Entertainment has not expanded much in the game content.

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

   But a gamer's attention is still limited after all.

   This kind of single-player game that is only driven by the plot and has no social interaction between players is definitely not as good as an online game, and the styles and expressions of the two sides are completely different.

   The uncontrolled lengthening of the game time will only make players tired, and eventually produce a boring feeling for the game.

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

   Of course, there is a side story, and the mysterious content can be added to a certain extent, but under normal circumstances, it should never exceed 100 hours.

   By the way, games like 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 plot.

  So, since you can't pull up the total duration of the game for too long, the only thing you can do is to create depth.

   Improve the picture to be more beautiful, attract people's attention from the beginning, polish the plot to perfection, and add 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 a single dimension, but improved in multiple aspects.

   This is a similar routine to the American special effects blockbuster.

   And it turns out that Yuxing 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 daily active number is at least 70,000 or 80,000.

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

   If you convert it like this, then the final sales of Final Fantasy 7 may already exceed one million.

   This is somewhat envious of other game companies, but before the official release of the game, these companies did not dare to take too much risk, so they still plan to wait and see.

  Time also passed without knowing it.

  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.

   And this year, all kinds of things started to blow out rapidly.

  The latest technology products, the latest literary works, film and television works, animation, animation, games, etc.

  For example, the film and television industry, animation industry, these decades-old industries, this year can also be called the year of gods fighting.

  Many film and television companies or animation studios have launched their best works, and it seems that they want to use this special year to prove their strength.

   Literary works are also in full bloom. Every country has excellent writers who publish their proud works, and they also want to win a place for themselves before the new millennium.

   Whenever Zhuyouxing 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 video game, a newly emerging industry, is very unusual.

  Other industries are contending with each other, and each is good at it.

   But there seems to be only one king of video games, and that is Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   Of course, other game companies can also have their own bright spots, but after all, they still can’t compete with the endless excellent works of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  Other game companies are cautious in developing games. They need to consider costs and benefits. Under the circumstance of being careful, their business conditions are also ups and downs.

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

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