Chapter 194: Final Fantasy

After Jester asked the others to leave, he left Hironobu Sakaguchi alone.

He actually doesn't know how to speak.,He really wants the other party to make the "Final Fantasy", but the problem is that this work is Hironobu Sakaguchi has failed again and again.,Lost confidence in the game.,Thinking about finally making a game that carries all his ideas about the game.,If it doesn't work.,He gave up the road of making the game.,Only then did he start making the game.。

So the name of this game, Final Fantasy, is also derived from this.

The problem is, Hironobu Sakaguchi doesn't have these experiences now, so how do you ask him to make the final fantasy in Jester's memory?

Jester was thinking about how to speak, Hironobu Sakaguchi looked at his boss on the side, not knowing what the other party meant by leaving him alone, if he wanted to tell himself about the idea of a game, he wouldn't have been frowning for so long, holding his chin and not saying a word.

He was about to ask a few words, but it was at this time that Jester finally spoke.

"Sakaguchi, during the time I have been with you, I can clearly feel your growth, you are very talented in making zuò games, especially RPG games, to be honest, you continue to follow me as a deputy, it may not be much for your growth, because what I want to make next is not an RPG game, and your future direction should be the direction you are most talented."

Jester spoke very seriously and his language was very earnest, and Hironobu Sakaguchi was also very touched when he heard it, but he was still a little hesitant, not for other reasons, but because he didn't have a good idea to create a game that would satisfy him at all.

Therefore, he told his confusion without the slightest concealment and embellishment: "BOSS, it's not that I don't want to go back to Japan to form my own development team, but during the time I followed you, I felt that my own understanding of the game was still very lacking, and besides, my mind is now muddy, and I feel that my idea of how to design a game is being reorganized, and I think it is very difficult for me to form a team at this time, and I don't have the confidence to do it well." ”

Hearing Hironobu Sakaguchi's reply, Jester frowned again, his answer made him very embarrassed, no confident maker is not trustworthy, Jester may not be particularly clear about this before, but now, he has a long experience in game development, and after personally participating in the production of several games that can be called the top in this era, he feels more and more that this is very important.

Only when the creator of a game is confident in his work can the game be a truly great game.

So, how to activate Hironobu Sakaguchi's confidence and courage hidden in the depths of his heart?

Jester pondered.

"Sakaguchi, if we assume such a situation, I didn't go to Japan to bring you to the United States, to Mars Entertainment, to my design team, and didn't let you participate in the full development of Fire Emblem, and you are still messing around in that little game development department called Denyusha, think about it, what kind of state will you be in now?" After thinking about it for a long time, Jester didn't think of any better excuse, and directly used a hypothesis to simulate the Square Enix and Hironobu Sakaguchi in his memory, hoping that this could play a role.

Hearing Jester's words, Hironobu Sakaguchi fell silent, and he also frowned and pursed his lips vigorously, obviously trying to think.

For him, it was as incredible that he was able to join the Mars entertainment, it was as incredible as pie in the world, before he was just a young man who failed, without the slightest merit, and even had a one-sided understanding of video games, and it was only because Jester inadvertently saw a little merit in the failed game he made that people came to ask themselves.

If your boss didn't go to Japan, or if your boss didn't see the failure of your own zuò and now you want to see the game at second glance, or if your boss doesn't let people ask you about it at all, then you should still be living in that small place where even a formal game company is not a place, and continue to fail again and again, and then know that you can't sustain it anymore, and you are laid off by Masashi Miyamoto, who is really unbearable, and then you are swept away.

Hironobu Sakaguchi thought so, and his face couldn't help but show a slightly sad look, and he suddenly realized that the reason why he was able to work how to make a great game was only because of the whim of his boss.

After truthfully stating his thoughts, Jester shook his head instead.

"Sakaguchi, you can stay, it doesn't have much to do with me." Jester smiled and dismissed Hironobu Sakaguchi's previous extremely pessimistic thoughts, and he said in a tone of certainty, "You were able to stay because of yourself, because you are good enough, you can do all the work I have given you, in the development of Fire Emblem, you are an excellent plot planner, you have done an excellent job, this is something that every member of the Fire Emblem development team, your colleagues or in another way we feel more affectionate, Your comrades-in-arms in the past six months have been extremely satisfied with your appearance. ”

Most of that wasn't a bad thing for Jester,

These words made Hironobu Sakaguchi almost burst into tears, and it made him feel like a confidant.

However, he still shook his head very firmly, as if he was stubborn, Hironobu Sakaguchi continued: "BOSS, although I would like to agree with what you say, it is really as you say, I have the talent for the game you say, but the reality is that before I met your guidance, I was very bad, and the reason why I was able to do it like this is because I am studying here, and there are many people who are better than me here, but they are not capable of leading a team in person, But now you've given me such a burden, and I don't want to live up to your expectations of me, so, to tell you the truth, I don't have the courage to take on the responsibility you want me to bear. ”

Hearing Hironobu Sakaguchi's still resolute answer, Jester couldn't help but purse his lips vigorously, if it was those Americans in his company who gave them such an opportunity, then they might agree without hesitation, but Hironobu Sakaguchi was completely different from them, so after thinking for a while, Jester once again showed the same smile on his face as before.

"So, Sakaguchi, do we want to think about these things you said, can you not say that I have the final say, and then you will understand the meaning of what I said, let's continue with the previous assumption, you continue to be in that small game development branch, when you really can't hold on, what will you do?"

Jester said with a smile on his face.

Hironobu Sakaguchi's face was also at a loss, he felt that he hadn't answered this question before, but soon, he understood that the answer Jester wanted was not so consistent with his previous answer, so he just thought about it for a while, and said in a very firm tone: "I may use all my talents and efforts to make a game before leaving, and then if this last effort is not successful, then I will leave this place, I'll never make games again. ”

"Final Fantasy?" Jester whispered a few words.

Hearing these words, Hironobu Sakaguchi's body shook, he carefully chewed on the two words of final fantasy a few times, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Boss, you really have a talent for choosing names, I don't know if I could come up with such a fitting game name if I really face the situation I just said - this name is really amazing." ”

"Huh." Jester did smile disapprehantly, and he continued to ask bluntly, "So, if you want to make this game, how will you make it?" Let's say he's your ultimate fantasy about video games. ”

Jester's question made him stunned, and his eyes showed a color of nostalgia, and he was silent for a few minutes before he began to say, "This may be ...... No, it's definitely going to be an RPG, if it was me before I came here, maybe, even if it's the last effort game, it's the same thing, but in Mars Entertainment, especially in the development of "Fire Emblem", I got too much experience, I can't erase these things from my mind, so I can only design it like this, this will probably be a more pure RPG game than "Fire Emblem", I'll remove the strategic stuff in it, I spit out the elements of the cosplay more......"

Just listened to Hironobu Sakaguchi's narration quietly, the synopsis of the game told in Hironobu Sakaguchi's mouth at this time was very different from the Final Fantasy he knew, but Jester could still see from it that Hironobu Sakaguchi had the prototype of the Final Fantasy in Hironobu Sakaguchi's mind at this time, and after Hironobu Sakaguchi finished speaking, Jester did not immediately say his evaluation, but he remembered what he said when Hironobu Sakaguchi first joined Mars Entertainment, What kind of game is he going to make?
