Chapter 510 Final Fantasy Effect (Update 24)

$509

The movie version of Final Fantasy 7 was finally released as scheduled.

This animated film with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars did not land on the traditional mainstream theaters.

However, not all theaters did not show it.

For example, in Japan, the movie was still shown in a few areas.

In the United States, the influence of Youxing Electronic Entertainment is limited after all.

But it is different in Japan.

Japan's Youxing Electronic Entertainment is backed by the government.

No one would offend a company favored by the government for such a thing unless they are stupid.

Even if Shurui Electronics has a very large influence, it is impossible to cover such a wide range.

Moreover, the Detroit Film Group was originally very influential only in the United States, not so much in Japan.

So Japan became the only region to show the movie version of Final Fantasy 7, but there were not many theaters showing it, and it was limited to big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.

And this was almost not promoted, and it was just a few shows by the way.

Since the mainstream cinemas cannot log in, the influence is definitely limited, so there is no need to focus on this aspect. Instead, the focus is shifted to the provision of online videos, as well as the production of physical movie cassettes and discs.

According to the current pre-order volume, the global pre-order volume of the movie version of the cassette has reached 100,000, and the disc version is hovering around 200,000.

It is still very gratifying to have such a result in pre-sale, and the subsequent official release will definitely be higher than the pre-sale volume.

It seems that his judgment is correct. Players have a very deep impression of Final Fantasy 7 and its influence is very far-reaching. This series is still worth exploring.

The failure of Monster Hunter is roughly foreseeable by Takeyusei, because the players in this world generally have not yet trained their tolerance for high-difficulty games.

Monster Hunter can't stand it, so if a soul-based game is made, it is estimated that it will be a direct failure.

But it doesn't matter, players can also be cultivated slowly, and Monster Hunter can make a good start to let players adapt to this kind of high-difficulty game first. As for how much it sells, it is actually secondary.

Now he cares more about the movie version of Final Fantasy 7.

The original Advent Children movie of Final Fantasy 7 is already very good, but in fact, some parts are still somewhat obscure and difficult to understand. This is more of a fan-oriented movie, and outsiders will probably only be attracted by the cool special effects.

So Takeyusei also added some settings in the movie so that ordinary people can quickly understand the general idea of ​​the whole plot. Of course, the original plot will definitely not be modified. This is the core. Takeyusei does not want to destroy an original work with his own ideas. He is more of a mindset to share the beautiful things of his previous life with the people of this world.

In this way, the length of the movie has also increased from the original two hours to nearly two and a half hours.

For a traditional theater movie, this is already quite long.

If the initial promotion focus is really invested in traditional theaters, I am afraid that some concessions will need to be made in terms of length, but there is no need to consider these in the field of online videos. There is no problem with a length of three hours.

The release time of Final Fantasy 7 is midnight on September 15th, US time, which happens to be just after noon in Japan, and it is also the time when there are the most people.

This day is Saturday, and people who have already known in advance that the Final Fantasy 7 movie version will be released have been waiting in front of their computers early.

Many of them had registered for the video site subscription in advance. When the time came, the interface of Final Fantasy 7 suddenly turned black, and then a string of words slowly emerged.

To those who once loved this world

and spent happy time with the partners of this world

Now is the time for your reunion-

For players, this sentence is very touching.

When Final Fantasy 7 was released, the streets were empty, and it caused a very strong social effect for a long time.

During that period, it was even called the Final Fantasy moment, and some sociologists called it the Final Fantasy effect, which was used to describe those who were crazy about a game.

Because of Final Fantasy, the Japanese government almost had to issue a new law, that is, when a video game is released, it must be reported to the local Metropolitan Police Department in advance, and the Metropolitan Police Department will send police officers to maintain public order.

However, there are very few games with the influence of Final Fantasy. If every game release is reported in this way, the police will have nothing to do.

Now there are more than ten new games produced every day on average, and the police are simply too busy to handle them.

The words on the screen just now represent the mental journey of players when they played Final Fantasy 7.

Control the protagonist and his companions to adventure on this continent, and experience all kinds of thrilling, bizarre, or touching stories.

At this moment, when the movie is officially played, it is indeed a reunion for players who have played this game.

Old friends who have not seen each other for several years have reunited because of this game, relived the beauty of this story, and watched this movie together.

The text ends, and the screen gradually lights up. It seems to be a cloud layer in the sky.

The halo of the sun not far away is illuminating the clouds, and the music slowly unfolds. The melody is so familiar.

The audio module of Final Fantasy 7 on the GS1 game console was not very good, so the music was still a little muddy.

But now this melody is very ethereal, which makes people feel relaxed after listening to it, especially for old players.

The camera slowly descended from the clouds and came to a desolate Gobi Desert.

This Gobi Desert is so real.

In the previous publicity, everyone has learned that this is a special effect made by a full CG computer, without any real scenes.

This is very amazing.

The previous trailers focused more on the battle scenes, and the main stage scenes were not shown too much. Until now, the whole picture of the world is presented again, and the feeling is completely different.

"Wow, this Gobi Desert, this mountain, this tree, this... Red Thirteen!"

The camera switched, and a wolf-like creature began to run wildly, followed by two little wolves that should be its cubs.

The players shouted its name without hesitation.

Red Thirteen is also a very popular wolf-shaped character in the plot of Final Fantasy 7.

It is a test product made by the villain Hojo, and finally escaped and became a member of the protagonist group.

Following Red XIII's mad dash, it brought its cub to the edge of a cliff, and in the distance of the camera was the familiar city, the Shinra city of Midgar. However, the once glorious and magnificent city has now become a ruin overgrown with weeds.
