Chapter 266 A Game Played by Rich People, Fifth Update

March is the day when spring comes, and Final Fantasy Part 2 is officially released at this time.

If Zuo Zhen remembers correctly, when Final Fantasy Part 2 was originally released, it was only available in Japan.

Square's managers didn't know how they planned it at the time. They might have thought that role-playing games like this were not that popular in the United States.

At that time, the more popular games in the United States seemed to be games like car racing, or casual games like Mario.

There is only one market in Japan, and with the big brother Dragon Quest in front of it, the sales volume of Final Fantasy Part 2 is not very high.

But for a long time, the second part of Final Fantasy became the same as the first three parts of Dragon Quest, becoming a masterpiece and a benchmark.

Therefore, it is very possible that Final Fantasy Part 2 could have achieved higher sales volume, millions.

And this time there is another difference from the original version, that is, there are more cutscenes. This thing that has been used to death in later generations is still a new thing in this era, mainly because the current game capacity is generally not large. , you need to dig in and out to get more capacity, but Zuo Zhen has a new compiler here, saving resources means giving more capacity to other places.

This time, Zuo Zhen chose to put more resources into the game cutscenes.

At least for this era, the cutscenes are definitely pretty expressive.

In the United States, inside a game store, a middle-aged man wearing gentleman's clothing walked in.

He looked around first, then walked to the counter.

"Hello, welcome. Do you have any needs?"

The clerk at the counter felt a little strange when he saw a man dressed as a gentleman coming in.

Normally such a person would not come to a video game store.

Until now, video games are still popular among ordinary civilians, and those upper-class people prefer to play some high-end gadgets.

"Hello, I would like to inquire about a game. This game is called Final Fantasy. Do you know?"

"Final Fantasy? You mean the one that was released recently?"

"Yes, part two."

"Ah, this game hasn't arrived yet. It will probably take another two days."

"That's it, what a pity." The man felt a little regretful and was about to leave.

"Guest, wait a minute. Don't you plan to play other games?"

"No, it's not me playing, it's my young master playing."

"Master?"

"Yes."

The clerk felt very fresh. This was the first time he had heard of noble people playing this.

Of course, it may be that he is ignorant.

"Then you can also recommend other games to your young master. They are all very fun."

The clerk immediately recognized the opportunity.

Such a rich person is definitely not short of money and is easy to sell.

"No, I have already bought other games. Only this game has to wait for the release date before it can be sold. I can only buy it in person at the game store."

"Rich people are good, they can buy all kinds of games." The clerk was a little envious, but then he said, "By the way, you can leave me your contact information, and I will contact you as soon as possible to buy the game when it is released. Or how about you leave a deposit and keep it for you when the goods arrive?

"So much the better."

The man dressed as a gentleman left the money and prepared to leave, as if he was in a hurry.

Then, after the game was officially released in the past few days, the store clerk asked the gentleman to come and pick up the goods as promised.

At this time, some players happened to be struggling with what kind of game to buy.

I heard that NGS games are more fun.

But Sega's games seem to be more cool, but the price is a bit expensive.

Several people had a heated discussion about what kind of game they should buy, and the man dressed as a gentleman walked in to pick up the goods and pay for them in one go.

This also attracts the attention of those who are struggling with which game to buy.

After the man dressed as a gentleman left, these people immediately came to the counter and started asking.

"That person just now also came to buy games?"

The clerk nodded: "Yes, this person is here to buy games too."

"What did he buy?"

"As for the latest game released, Final Fantasy 2, haven't you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. Have you tried it out?"

"Of course there is. In fact, there is a promotional video for this game today, but I haven't had time to show it on TV. Do you want to watch the promotional video first?"

"OK."

The clerk immediately took a box of video tapes that had just been delivered and put it into the VCR, and then a beautiful picture appeared in the center of the TV screen.

It was four young people wearing different costumes facing countless surging monster armies back to back.

Then some of the four young people used magic, some charged forward, and some performed treatment. The four of them performed their duties and resisted the waves of attacks from the army.

And behind this army, a figure appeared that almost enveloped the entire land.

It was an old man wearing a broken crown and the king's clothes that had become decayed.

He stared at the four people with glinting eyes, and then the last scene of the picture was four young people holding weapons and aiming at the huge figure to launch the final blow.

The trailer and promotional footage also ends here.

"This seems to be a game about picking up monsters? He doesn't seem as handsome as the King of Fighters."

"But the picture is quite attractive, and I just noticed that this game seems to be made by the King of Fighters game company, so it must be good."

"How much does this cost?"

"Fifty-nine dollars."

"Hi~ It's so expensive. This is enough to buy two NGS games."

"Indeed, then let's look at other games."

After hearing this, the clerk had an idea and said, "You haven't really played it yet, at least try it out first, and this game is a nasty game that nobles love to play."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"That person just now was a noble?"

The clerk explained: "No, that person is not, but his employer is, and he is here to buy games for his young master. If you think about the games that nobles like, it is at least worth playing, right?"

Everyone looked at each other and felt that there was some truth in it.

And they only need to try it out. If they can't do it, they can play other games. It's just a waste of time anyway.

What impresses them most is not whether the game is attractive, because the game's promotional images look good, but in fact there are too many junk games.

What impressed them most was that even children from wealthy families were interested in this game.

So they wanted to join in the fun no matter what.

"Then let's have some fun."

The clerk immediately found a box of Final Fantasy 2 cassettes and let these people try it out briefly.

At the very beginning of the game, there is a pre-plot introduction to the game.

This is already a very common operation in role-playing games.

These people didn't take it seriously.

However, they think the animation effect of this game is pretty good, but this kind of animation effect usually only lasts for a few seconds or more than ten seconds.

However, when more than ten seconds passed, the pre-story introduction and animation of the game did not end.

One minute later, the plot introduction comes to a scene where the evil emperor is conquering the world, and the four young people are fleeing from the emperor's pursuit.

It's all animated, and the animations end when one of the four characters disappears and the other three are rescued by the rebels.

Only then did a few people come back to their senses: "Just now... that opening animation seemed to last a long time?"

They watched the opening animation just now with concentration, and almost didn't miss a second.

This kind of performance is something they have never seen in any previous games.

Even Overlord of the Three Kingdoms only has a small amount of animation.

This Final Fantasy 2 takes up several minutes of capacity for performance at the beginning?

This is simply unheard of.
