In the end, Yamauchi still obeyed Shigeru Miyamoto's construction and gradually concentrated the main area of propaganda in mainland Japan.

Seeing Nintendo's transformation, Jester couldn't help but admire, he knew that the game "Dragon Quest", no matter how it was improved, as long as the production personnel were still those, then their production concept would not change, this would be a very harmonious work, and such a work would inevitably get a cold reception in the market outside of popularity.

Originally, when Jester saw that Nintendo was still hyping it in the United States at the beginning, he felt that Nintendo did not grasp the essence of this game, but now that I look at it, this is not the case.

After withdrawing publicity funds from the United States and investing them in Japan, the publicity of "Dragon Quest" has directly increased by an order of magnitude, not only in buses, trams, subway stations and other places have this excellent painted advertisement, but also several people who make this game, and they are also frequently interviewed by various media, among which "Famitsu" has done an interview for it, using the title of the Japanese game defense war.

And the statement of Zephyr Games was also officially put forward by "Fami Pass".

As for Akira Toriyama, the best national manga master since Osamu Tezuka, Guò also promoted the game in the weekly manga magazine Shonen Jump, which has millions of copies and is unique among Japanese teenagers.

Now Akira Toriyama has established himself as supreme in the Japanese manga industry with "Dragon Ball", and countless fans even regard it as a god, and the original art setting in which he personally participated, the incredible influence among the entire Japanese teenager, is unparalleled, and even the current Yuji Dig believes that it is the biggest magic weapon that he can defeat "Final Fantasy" this time.

But anyway, this time Enix. Regardless of whether they can win in the next head-to-head showdown, then they have also completed the transformation from an obscure small game company to a big game company, during this period of time, there are dozens of times more cover letters than usual, as long as this time "Dragon Quest" can reach a local score of one million, then get the most preferential treatment in terms of Nintendo royalties, then the rise of Enix will also become a foregone conclusion.

As for "Final Fantasy", it is not as superior as "Dragon Quest" in terms of treatment.

Neither the most influential game publication in Japan, Famidori, has received very few pages, let alone "Shonen Jump". Mars Entertainment simply could not obtain the right to advertise the manga publication through the hands of Shueisha.

And what angered Hironobu Sakaguchi the most was that after he handed over the official version of Final Fantasy to Famitsu, who reviewed the game, he didn't see the slightest comment on the game Final Fantasy on the new issue of Famitsu, and when Hironobu Sakaguchi asked Famitsu why the review results were not released, the reply he received made him even more angry.

"I'm sorry, we forgot about it."

And the tone of "Famitsu" reply is extremely disdainful, as if Hironobu Sakaguchi is a dispensable character, and for "Final Fantasy" it also seems to be a dispensable game. They didn't even bother to prepare an excuse specifically, they just used an excuse to fool a fool to succeed, we forgot about it, it's just a game that isn't worth mentioning. Forget jì and forget jì.

What can you do to me?

As a game designer, you can humbly say how your child is not good about his own work. But no one else should be allowed to say a word.

After consulting Jester, Hironobu Sakaguchi held a press conference in the name of Mars Entertainment Japan. In addition to Hironobu Sakaguchi, there are also Hideo Kojima, Yuji Naka, and Yasuko Matsuno, several designers who have set up their own development teams, which is almost the entire development force of the entire Mars Entertainment Japan branch.

Moreover, Tamahideyoshiro, the president of the Japanese branch, also came to the battle in person, indicating that the things announced at this press conference were the opinions of the Japanese branch of Mars Entertainment.

They also unconditionally support their employees.

Looking at the reporters in front of him, not only the game media, Mars Entertainment is not a small company, and the news about them, even if it is like "Asahi Shimbun" and "Yomiuri Shimbun", Hironobu Sakaguchi remembered what his boss said to him on the phone with his boss Jester.

"Do whatever you want to do, and the company will stand behind you and support you, anything."

When he heard his boss say this to himself, Hironobu Sakaguchi suddenly had a kind of history book he read in China, and a sentence written on it - Jun treats me with the courtesy of a countryman, and I repay the king with the courtesy of a countryman, when Sakaguchi Hironobu told Jester's words to Hideo Kojima and a few others, these people were also grateful.

Mr. Hironobu Sakaguchi coughed, and the reporters in front of him from various media knew what he had to say.

However, Hironobu Sakaguchi did not speak directly, but first scanned the venue with his eyes, and finally he stopped his gaze on the two reporters of "Famitsu", his eyes were sharp and his expression was cold, and the two reporters of "Famitsu" were a little creepy.

Then Hironobu Sakaguchi showed a cold smile, and he said: "Before I officially say the theme of this press conference, I will first do one thing, and this matter is also closely related to this press conference. ”

Just when the people present wondered why Hironobu Sakaguchi said this, two tall security guards suddenly entered the venue, and in the extremely stunned eyes of the reporters present, the two security guards walked straight to the two reporters of "Famitsu" who were also full of puzzled looks, and then one person and one hand, holding the necks of these two people, and blasting the two people outside the venue.

This practice immediately detonated the audience, and a reporter stood up at the first time, and he shouted at Hironobu Sakaguchi and asked, "What are you doing here!" ”

Hironobu Sakaguchi glanced at him, and then an employee of Mars Entertainment, who was sitting next to Hironobu Sakaguchi, whispered a few words in his ear, telling Hironobu Sakaguchi that this reporter was a reporter from the Yomiuri Shimbun, and then Hironobu Sakaguchi nodded, still not answering.

When the two security guards slipped out of the venue for the reporters of "Fami Pass", who were constantly struggling and shouting, Hironobu Sakaguchi stood up and bowed slightly to the reporters who were still stunned, and he said with some shame: "What happened just now has disturbed all distinguished guests, and after the press conference, the company prepared a banquet to suppress your surprise." ”

Hironobu Sakaguchi's words obviously did not relieve the doubts of the reporters present, but the reporters present knew that Mars Entertainment would definitely give them a satisfactory answer, otherwise, this kind of news that treated the two reporters so roughly, would definitely make them feel the same hatred, in a society like Japan, offending reporters like them, or such a large group, then, the end must be tragic.

Especially for game companies like Mars Entertainment, which desperately need to rely on media publicity to launch their own products.

Sure enough, after bowing and re-seating, Hironobu Sakaguchi explained to the reporters present why he did this: "Our new game Final Fantasy has been treated unfairly by FAMI TSU magazine, so our company has decided that all members of our Mars Entertainment Japan branch will refuse to accept any interviews with FAMI in the future, and prohibit their reporters from participating in our press conferences. ”

Such a declaration, for the people present, is no less than a thunderstorm on the ground, and even more rude than the previous Sakaguchi Hironobu security guards treated the reporters of "Famitsu" so roughly, and it also made the people present feel stunned.

A game company that has openly announced that it will reject reports from Japan's No. 1 game publication in the future?

Isn't this Mars Entertainment not wanting to get mixed up in the Japanese game industry?

"Can you tell me what happened between you and Fami Pass that made you make such a decision?" The speaker was a woman in her thirties, wearing a pair of blue-rimmed glasses, with a heavy smell of fat and heavy makeup, and the staff member next to Hironobu Sakaguchi whispered in his ear, telling him that he was a reporter for the Asahi Shimbun.

Hironobu Sakaguchi smiled and continued, "Actually, there is nothing to be ashamed of, it's very simple, before "famitsu" took the initiative to ask us for the official version of "Final Fantasy" cassette as a review, but we did not see the review of our game in the newly published "famitsu" magazine, and when we asked, we received a very unfair answer. ”

Such an answer is obviously not able to displease those present.

The female reporter who asked earlier was very surprised and continued to ask: "Is it because they didn't publish your game in the next publication, so you have to cut off contact with "Famitong"?" With all due respect, if this is why you treat the reporters of Famitsu so roughly, and interfere so domineeringly with a media report that has nothing to do with you, then we at the Asahi Shimbun will never be on your side, and we will report this incident truthfully in the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper!" ”

And the words of this female reporter were echoed by other media present. (To be continued......) R1292
