The update in the early morning is yesterday's volume, and now the update is today's front

The number of recruits for the first test of Final Fantasy Old is a total of Ah. For this, the person in charge of Square Enix's sales section took a lot of painstaking effort to screen the number of players who participated in the test.

In order to take into account the most loyal user experience, he selected a part of the loyal users in the company's customer service department over the years and sent test invitations; And in order to ensure whether the improvement of the product can be supported by networked players, he also started with Final Fantasy. A number of players who have been online since its operation for seven years were selected, and the online game customer service specially called Guò to invite them to participate in the test; At the same time, considering the power of media propaganda and diffusion, he also invited a very small number of senior media editors and testers to supplement the test list at the end.

At the same time, on the official website of Final Fantasy Old, which is the largest discussion community in Japan, the tsuguò campaign raised a small number of test users. It took almost a month for the entire personnel recruitment list to go from selection and orientation to recruitment and finally to determination.

Such a cumbersome operation is unique in the history of user testing in the Japanese game industry.

There's no other reason than that Final Fantasy Old is a project that Square Enix has put a lot of effort and money into, both strategically and economically. There is absolutely no room for error.

Although in the previous development process. The Final Fantasy 4 product has also been tested several times on a very small scale, but there is absolutely no way to compare it with the 1,000-person test in terms of the number of people and the trigger environment.

You must know that no matter how professional the official testing team is, it can't compare with these players who are full of opportunities, and no matter how thorough the reproduction environment is, it can't compare to the players' powerful ability to drill system vulnerabilities with all kinds of strange ideas.

Therefore, the significance of this 1,000-person test is not trivial, it is not only the first playability verification of the entire game product for players, but also an extremely important deplaning test in the large-scale release.

Of course, for the developers, they are full of confidence in the playability of the game, and they have absolute self-confidence that when these players enter the game, they will only tearfully worship the Final Fantasy franchise for once again producing a fantasy god game.

Therefore, the only thing that everyone is a little nervous about is whether players will find some loopholes or planers that have not been found or omitted by the product quality supervision department in this thousand-level recruitment test

But what about finding it? Wasn't the purpose of this test to fill in the gaps?

Therefore, for this thousand-person oral test, the entire Square Enix company is full of confidence.

On April 8 of the old year, the first test of "Final Fantasy Old" began.

In order to ensure the confidentiality of this test, and not to have jokes such as multiple accounts being shared by multiple people or even thrown directly on the top of the auction platform, Square Enix rented a number of dedicated venues that can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time for users participating in the test to experience on site. Users who participated in the test will not only be able to experience the trial of Final Fantasy Old on the spot using the latest computers provided by the company. You can also enjoy the attentive guidance of the maids and waiters who shuttle back and forth to the venue, as well as free drinks and eel rice bento.

All players have to do is experience the game as they please. And at the end of the test at 5 p.m. every day, I took a test feedback form from the maid attendants, and filled in my own thoughts on the game and the building.

In this way, under the supervision of the on-site staff, the first oral test of "Final Fantasy Old" was carried out in an orderly manner.

Three days later. The 3,000 test opinion questionnaires were sorted into a book and sent to the head of Square Enix's Final Fantasy Old Project Development Section. These 3,000 feedback forms are the feedback filled out by players who participated in the test over the past three days, and basically represent the first impression of players on the product after Final Fantasy Old was first opened to every player.

The head of the development section picked up the opinion form a little nervously. Begin to flip through it.

"God!"

"It's the best game I've played since I was born

"When will the official test begin? I'm going to pull my friends together to form the strongest army of rampage! ”

"I'll definitely buy two sets when the official version comes out. One set is installed in the hard disk to play every day, and one set is not opened, so it is offered, and I bow down every day, thank God for letting me play such a fun game,"

The head of the development section looked at it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and his heart was full of pride. After all, as a developer, your work can be so praised by users, no matter who it is, you can't help but be proud.

The head of the development section turned the next page with great ambition.

"We were born in Nisham, the city of the sea? Lominza, according to the description of the game

It's a world of dance fantasy. Don't please the appearance of a lot of Japanese-style monsters, so that the girl is abrupt! ”

"The monsters on the outskirts of Sea City are ordinary goblins, goblins, and crocodiles. and orc bandits, but if you go a little farther, you'll encounter Japanese-style monsters like the first cut general and the moon wheel. It feels so strange, how can there be a Japanese-style monster near this Western fantasy port! ”

"My friend and I actually encountered the power tengu when we were solving the task of the profession, it is too powerful, my equipment is already the most powerful equipment at present, and I can't even take one of its attacks, our team was collectively wiped out by it in three strokes and two hits, what are you doing! Why do you encounter such powerful monsters on the way to career missions! It is a strong request to weaken the attack and defense power of the power tengu, which is too unbalanced! ”

"Taidao Kazegoro should be a monster of the "level! We use the Monster Power Detection Instrument to detect its power. It's actually a skull mark that can't be displayed in combat power! And "Isn't this kind of concave level monster supposed to stay in the dungeon to guard the level?" Why did Tai Daofeng Goro run directly to the city of the sea! And it also slaughters new players everywhere, which makes newcomers start new quests..."

"We met Tsuruga Shina Hime today, and using the monster combat power detection prop detection, we found that her battle evaluation was a skeleton level that broke the table. Everyone thinks that this should belong to the wild world 0 mushrooms, so our team hurriedly sent a private message to a friend, and organized a total of thirty-four people to besiege and kill her, but they couldn't break the defense of Jiao He Zhenmingji, whether it was a physical attack or a magic attack, the damage to her was "How can this be beaten!!" ”

"It's too messy.,Only Western-style monsters are normal.,Japanese-style monsters are all ridiculously strong.

What a mess this is! The head of the development section frowned and flipped through the feedback form, and the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.

The first general? The Wheel of the Moon? Power Tengu?? And what else is Taitofugoro and Tsuruga Shinahime, what are these things? Are they sure they're really playing Final Fantasy Old?

Judging from the name, these strange monster names are indeed very consistent with the names of the hundred ghosts in the Japanese Strange Tales of 100 Things, but we developed "Final Fantasy Old", not "Kitaro" by Master Shigeru Mizuki! "Final Fantasy Old" is set according to the fantasy world view.,The monsters and monsters in it have strict settings.,There will be no such inexplicable Japanese-style monsters at all!

Could it be that some troublemakers sent by competitors to sneak in disguised as players and then deliberately write these inexplicable questions to interfere with Final Fantasy Old's product testing progress? The head of the development section thought.

However, for the sake of safety, the head of the development department still called the development team leader, who was still working hard to complete the follow-up of the product, and asked him to come to his office.

"What? You said we added Japanese-style monsters to the game? The development team leader looked at the section leader with a look of disbelief, "Section leader! No kidding! We are ethical developers. Not the guys who make spoof games! For the sake of sales, they can let Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms of China get involved with Honda Tadashi in Japan's Warring States Period to fight, and we will definitely not get some Japanese-style monsters into the Final Fantasy World! ”

The head of the development section looked at the indignant expression on the face of his most powerful subordinate, and nodded with satisfaction.

This subordinate is his own cronies, and he is the kind of guy who has a strong sense of responsibility that borders on paranoia about his career, so it stands to reason. Since he reacted so much, he definitely wouldn't have secretly added any inexplicable Japanese-style monsters to the game. The head of the development section comforted his right-hand man with a few words and sent him back to continue to hurry up with the development progress.

Then the head of the development section dialed an internal phone and called in the sales section manager who was in charge of the test.

The only thing that happened was that we suspected that commercial spies from rival companies had been infiltrated in this test, so they screened and eliminated them when we needed to. The head of the development section said sternly.

"But... It's a bit of a trick! The head of the sales section scratched his hair in annoyance. "In the past, in order to ensure the authenticity and randomness of the questionnaires, all the questionnaires were anonymous and random, so now it is very difficult to find out those spies based on these questionnaires. ”

"That's easy!" The head of the development section waved his arm impatiently, "This test is mixed with commercial spies, this is a very strict thing!" In order to ensure that the product information is not leaked, we can ask the following questionnaires to be marked and not let ordinary users know one by one. ”

"Let's try it," the sales manager nodded in agreement.

Next, it's up to us to find these damn spies and get them out! The head of the development department and the head of the sales department were gearing up to think so.
