Chapter 7: Square Enix

State News and Bad News Bad News Xiaofeng Starts Today Idle at Home Six... Ha ha. The good news is that while looking for a job, you can write an Persona "Text" in a strong mouth? Players who know a little bit about single-player games will probably not be unfamiliar with this name. In fact, the name is made up of the word Morbidine, the former of which has countless high-quality games under Square Enix, and the Final Fantasy series alone has laid the foundation for its path to godhood.

The latter Enix is even simpler, a fetal game known as Japan's national level "Dragon Quest", which has already made Enix destined to become an indispensable participant in the history of video games.

However, on April of this year, Square Enix and Enix announced that the two companies would merge into a new joint company. Almost everyone thinks it's just another boring and fun April Fool's game.

You know, the "Final Fantasy" series and the "Dragon Quest" series have always been rivals in the field of competing for the status of the Japanese king defender, if Square Enix and Enix are really merged, it is like Jin Yong's peerless divine soldier, "Relying on the sky, who fights" The dragon slayer announced that it was about to merge with the Heavenly Sword.

But the next thing that makes everyone's jaws fall to the ground is that this news is actually true!

So, after the April day. The original two separate companies, Square Enix and Enix, no longer exist, and are replaced by a completely new company: Square Enix? Molar ratio. And as a generation that grew up playing with red and white machines, when "text cards" were popular. Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were both game cartridges that I chased with my friends, even though they were at the time. The crooked Japanese kana looks like a book of heaven and earth made my eyes look like Venus, but thanks to the few "video game secrets" circulating in the hands of everyone and the "talk to everyone, use any new props, and investigate every color block on the ground", I actually gnawed down all the series of "Final Fantasy" and "Dragon Quest".

And to the later Super Nintendo era. "Final Fantasy" and "Dragon Quest" are two masterpieces. It even made me burn out three game console transformers at that time.

Therefore, I still have great expectations and fantasies for these two game developers that I loved the most back then.

After all, the stand-alone game development companies in China are almost dead, and for no other reason. China, known as the world's paradise for pirated software, on the one hand, gives players and users the most affordable benefits, enabling them to use the latest games and software at low prices, and on the other hand, it also gives Chinese local game software developers the most tragic nightmare.

With an unstoppable momentum like a flood of sky-high software, pirated software has crushed China's original game software industry, which was just starting in the 90s of the last century. Countless enthusiastic Chinese programmers have discovered. The software program that I painstakingly developed was cracked in less than a week after it was launched, and anyone only needed to spend five yuan to buy a pirated disc of software with integrated mega capacity.

This is why in the end, domestic stand-alone game development companies finally closed down, while online games that only charged for online recharge were thriving.

In contrast to China, Japan's online gaming industry has shrunk dramatically, while the console industry has flourished and become a kingdom of consoles.

I've been in the domestic online game company for so many years, and I'm a little insensitive to this in Chinese online game companies, so I still have a lot of illusions about stand-alone game development companies.

As we stood in front of the Shinjuku Bunka Building on Yoyogi Street, Shibuya-ku, I couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.

This is where classic masterpieces such as Final Fantasy, Legend of the Sacred Sword, Kingdom Hearts, Romance SaGa, and Dragon Quest were born, and this is the home of popular game characters such as Claude, Sephiroth, and Tifa!

"What a surprise! Come on! "My uncle's vicious voice interrupted my reluctance

I looked left and right for a moment, and I saw that the neon lights on both sides of the surrounding streets were already shining, but the streets were full of people, and countless brightly dressed office workers and men were speeding past me. Obviously, the time to get off work has long passed, but what about these office workers. All of them were running in small steps with solemn faces, as if someone was chasing after them.

"Still in a daze, come here!" Uncle's voice was already a prelude to a frenzy.

I quickly gathered my mind. I quickly followed, my uncle and Aichuan were standing at the entrance of the building, waiting for me there, Qingchuan was fine, still with a smile on his face, while my uncle rolled his eyes, and the boss glared at me unhappily.

"Two, please come with me" Thank you, small. Qingchuan led us into the elevator room, bowed slightly to thank the elevator lady, and the elevator girl in overalls immediately skillfully pressed the no button.

Elevator up.

"Our company is strong, and this is mainly where the sales class is located" is probably afraid that we will be bored. "Qing" then began to introduce us to the company.

"Wait!" Uncle suddenly opened his mouth to interrupt Qingchuan, frowned and said, "We need to accept the customer service content when we come here." I didn't come to your business class to fight the autumn breeze! Take us there

At this moment, the image of my uncle instantly became extremely tall in my mind.

Uncle gave me a fat look. There was a lot of color on the face.

You must know that in the past, the technicians of the developers of Korean game companies often went to China to solve the technical problems of the agent games, and the first thing they did when they got off the plane was either to follow the Chinese personnel to the Huaihai Road Thieves, or to argue for a few to go, and the most dedicated people would also ask to eat two barbecues."

Anyway, if you don't play a lap first, you don't want this group of Korean sticks to start working.

And this time we are going on a business trip to Japan as Party A, and it is estimated that this Japanese girl is also planning to follow international practice. First lead us to this Rausch business class, and let the people in the marketing department arrange for us to go to corruption or something. And my uncle's stern refusal to reject this sugar-coated cannonball at this moment is to set a glorious example for us.

Who knows, Qingchuan showed a bitter smile. Said slowly: "This, I'm sorry, at present, our customer service department is still waiting for the sales class" Daojun explained to the two! ”

My uncle and I looked at each other, and we both felt a little strange.

The atmosphere in the elevator instantly became a little cold. Qingchuan seemed to be a little cramped, turned his head to look at the camera on the ceiling in a daze, and his uncle, the cold field maker, also seemed to feel a little embarrassed. He looked down at the lace on the elevator girl's skirt beside him.

Fortunately, this embarrassing cold scene didn't last long, the elevator had already come to the twelfth floor, Qingchuan immediately took the lead and walked out, turned around and stood sideways at the door of the elevator room, stretched out a hand, and half-bowed: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Lin." Please! ”

My uncle and I walked out one after the other, and we were met by two huge glass doors. The English laser is used to brand a line of English: Know

There is also a line of Japanese with the same font size below, which should be Square Enix's Japanese kana!

On both sides of the lobby, there are two rows of LCD TVs, on which are playing various game animations, I quickly glanced at a few times, and only knew a remake of the opening animation of the legend of the Holy Sword. The rest of them seem to be new games, and I don't know much about them.

After taking two steps, the two huge glass doors sensed that someone was approaching, and immediately slid open to both sides. And behind the door, the two front desk ladies in sky blue uniforms behind the pure white front desk stood up at the same time, bowed, and said in unison: "Avoid two two Fu scarf Hao Bu long dead dad help juice bow two dead to do the dead word bow seven blades 7" Hello, can I ask if there is anything I can do to help you? My uncle and I were at a loss as if listening to the book from heaven.

Harukawa walked to the front desk, showed a badge, and then whispered something to the two front desk sisters in Japanese.

After a while, the two front desk ladies showed a sudden realization on their faces, lowered their heads and took out two badges from the drawer and handed them to us.

"Please wear these two temporary access cards." Harukawa explained to us, "It's already night, so for the sake of security, we need to show a badge with registered identity information to enter and exit. ”

My uncle and I nodded again and again, this kind of security measures are not without our company, in fact, this Japanese girl has no need to explain to us one by one.

Later, Harukawa led us into the legendary place where Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were born, Square Enix.

However, after walking less than five steps, Harukawa unscrewed the door of a conference room and said to us, "Please sit here for a while, and I'll go find Kawashima-kun!" ”

We had to walk into the small conference room of less than seven or eight square meters and sit down. Harukawa bowed slightly, then turned and walked out.

I stared at my uncle with big eyes, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Boss, what's going on?" I finally couldn't hold back my doubts and asked.

"Whatever! This Japanese woman is mysterious, I don't know what the hell to do! Hmph: "I'd like to see what the hell these Japanese are up to!" "Uncle is still the same attitude that Mount Tai collapsed before he flew quietly

Seeing that my uncle was so determined, I didn't want to ask anything more, so I had to sit there patiently in a daze.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Qingchuan to lead a man who was no more than one meter six tall, the man was five short and wore a pair of rimless glasses, standing beside Qingchuan, looking half shorter than Qingchuan. The head.

"This is Kawashima-kun." Harukawa stretched out his hand and gestured, "For the specific situation, please ask Kawashima-kun to explain it to the two of you." ”

After speaking, Qingchuan bowed again, then walked backwards out of the conference room and closed the door casually.

"Cough" Fengjun, Lin Jun? I'm very sorry to let the two of you rush here late at night" Nakawashima also speaks a bit stiff Chinese. It's a lot worse than the standard of "Qing", but I can barely understand it.

I hurriedly stood up, reached out to hold the other party's outstretched hand, and said, "Hello" You, you can just call me Xiaofeng

On the contrary, it was the uncle who looked at the other party with disdain on his face, and he didn't mean to stand up at all.

"Don't fix these useless politeness!" Uncle said coldly: "Let's get straight to the point!" We have come all the way here, not to see you playing tricks! ”

That," a bitter expression appeared on Shima's face. Extremely entangled said: "This, this, the two are the representatives of our partners, and they are not outsiders" So, just listen to me, but" the topic that the two heard. In any case, please don't talk to anyone about it when you get out of this door!! ”A
