Chapter 255 Sounds Cool Fourth Update

"You go on, I'm just talking casually from the side."

Plots like this kind of reversal are relatively common in later generations.

However, at this time, there are still relatively few such story designs.

And this is just a branch line and will not affect the structure of the main line.

This person is a little frightened. In Japan, people and their class are very important.

If a small employee has no respect for a president, it is definitely a dereliction of duty.

This is not just the boss who thinks this way, employees also think this way.

But Zuo Zhen didn't care about that.

Anyway, I am not Japanese, so any question of status is nonsense. Zuo Zhen only cares about ability.

This person was quickly calmed down and then started planning the plot again.

And with the plot inspiration given by Zuo Zhen just now, he suddenly felt as if there were many plots that could be expanded, and his whole thinking became much clearer.

This is quite magical, at least for this plot designer.

The overall transition of the team in Japan was quite smooth.

Apart from having to communicate with people in China frequently on the phone about the development progress, their work is actually not much different from their previous work.

Even the games they developed were what they had originally planned.

In a daze, they almost thought that their company was not prepared to close down at all.

What Zuo Zhen wants is this effect. Don't think about all the messy things outside the game.

Later, for half a month, Zuo Zhen stayed with the team in Japan to follow up on the design of the plot.

He could consider delegating power to others to design some things, but Zuo Zhen still had to control the main story.

There's nothing wrong with Final Fantasy 2's main story, as long as it's done well.

In fact, the sales volume of Final Fantasy 2 in the early years was less than one million, but the new gameplay design and more in-depth stories made the Final Fantasy series gradually separate from the traditional stories of princes, princesses and heroes, bringing different Feel.

Without the second part, there would be no innovation in subsequent works, especially the sixth and seventh works.

After the main plot is basically completed, Zuo Zhen is ready to return to China to track the development progress of the main framework of the game, and strive to release the second part of Final Fantasy early next year.

However, at this moment, several copies of the latest game news magazines were delivered to Zuo Zhen's office in Japan.

"President, our game may be a little troublesome right now."

The former acting president and current deputy president stood in front of Zuo Zhen with a solemn expression, feeling unspeakable in his heart.

Zuo Zhen picked up one of the news magazines and read it, and then he understood what was going on.

In this news report, a seemingly well-known game industry analyst is conducting an analysis of market expectations for the content released so far in Final Fantasy.

The general content of the article is that the game Final Fantasy 2 is very similar to the heavy armor of the real game.

In other words, some of the gameplay mechanisms of Final Fantasy 2 are more like an upgraded version of the Heavy Marine. In other words, Final Fantasy 2 may just be a reskin of the Heavy Marine.

'To be honest, I actually have some expectations for the real game. After all, it almost supports the game lineup of the Sega platform. But if this company just develops a reskinned role-playing game, it is really difficult for me to support it. . ’

Zuo Zhen picked up another news magazine, in which a game industry analyst also made another argument, but at the end it was similar to the analyst in the previous one.

I like them all, but I feel a little disappointed and don't want to support them.

"President, I have asked someone to check. These analysts have never appeared in any media before, but this time they appeared collectively in various gaming magazines, especially FAMI, which gave a large section of the page to them. The attack on us was obviously premeditated."

"NGS?" Zuo Zhen asked.

"I'm still checking, but I feel like I can figure it out with my toes."

Zuo Zhen nodded slightly, he was not too surprised.

After all, now is the period of competition between Sega and NGS. It is obvious that NGS cannot have a second competitor competing with them for the market. Sega is a thorn in their side.

And he will naturally become a follower of Sega in the eyes of NGS, and it is inevitable that he will be targeted by NGS.

Of course, this is also the reason why Sega actively promotes its head-on competition with NGS.

NGS can't face Sega's provocation without taking any action, right?

At this moment, the phone in the office also rang. Zuo Zhen picked it up and heard Gao Cunxiong's voice on the phone.

"Zuo Zhen-san, I didn't expect you to be in Japan now. Why didn't you tell me? If you knew, you would definitely have a good gathering."

On the other end of the phone, Gao Cunxiong seemed a little dissatisfied that Zuo Zhen didn't even say hello when he came to Japan.

"Now is a critical period for game development. Of course I don't have much time to eat and drink. If you have anything to do, I'm still a little busy here."

"Okay... then Zuo Zhensang, have you seen the latest game magazines in the past two days?"

"Well, I was reading just now, and my deputy brought me the latest magazine. Is NGS fighting back against Sega?"

"Yes, these so-called analysts are done by NGS, and all fools know it, but players are easily misled, so..."

"So, you want to ask me for some counterattack, such as another trial game."

"Yes, obviously the trial is the most effective. Come up with real information to shut up NGS."

"Then I really have an idea. This time we won't have to use the gimmicks of the trial, and we'll do something more intuitive."

"More intuitive?"

Zuo Zhen said: "You won't forget the advantages of your own game consoles, right?"

"Of course I remember it, but what do you mean more intuitively?"

"It's the simplest and most straightforward thing to hold a press conference and show some game videos."

"Launch...meeting? But there haven't been any game exhibitions recently."

Zuo Zhen shook his head: "Have you ever heard of such a thing?"

"This does not..."

"To put it simply, it is to publish all your upcoming or unannounced games in one time period, without having to pursue any fixed game exhibition date."

"Huh? What should we do?"

"TV station, don't you have the resources of the station? Asahi, right? Get a half-hour program opportunity."

Komura listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more interesting he became.

A face-to-face meeting is a face-to-face communication meeting with players.

Of course, it is impossible to have a real face-to-face meeting, but it can be promoted through live TV broadcasts, skipping other levels.

"For half an hour of programming, that's a lot more expensive than just advertising, but it sounds like it's worth a try."

Gao Cunxiong felt as if his mind had been opened by Zuo Zhen.

This will not only be able to fight back against NGS with Final Fantasy, but Sega also has other game development plans, and other game companies that have just joined the company also want to promote the game, but Sega only has so many resources, and advertising is also limited.

But it sounds cool to focus on one moment and launch the product like a show.
