In the end, after a fierce psychological struggle, Hideo Kojima chose the second one.

Jester doesn't know why Kojima chose the second one, in fact, for him, a real genius like Hideo Kojima, no matter which of these two options he chooses, Jester will fully support it, of course, in Jester's heart, he naturally hopes that Hideo Kojima chooses the second one, after all, the current Hideo Kojima is still too immature, and even so immature that he has never officially participated in the development of the game, so that he has in-depth contact with how a large-scale game is made from scratch, for a newcomer, is very useful.

After recalling the conversation just past, Jester washed up and got ready to sleep, he still has a lot of things to do tomorrow, especially tomorrow there is an interview for new employees, several of them come to apply for R&D personnel, Jester also wants to see what Yuxiu Yoshiro said before, how bad the people who come to apply, especially the R&D personnel.

When Jester arrived at his Japanese branch the next day, he was surprised to get a piece of good news.

The call came from Hironobu Sakaguchi, who had left immediately after arriving in Japan, and he was now in Hokkaido, going to a hot spring with his composer friend Nobuo Uematsu to find inspiration, but under his persuasion, Nobuo Uematsu, who was not interested in the first place, had promised to come to Jester after he returned from Hokkaido to see if he could take on the soundtrack work this time.

After getting the news, Jester couldn't help but clench his fists hard, this news was very important to him, and Nobuo Uematsu was also a game music composer he desperately wanted to get.

Compared with those top Japanese composers who have now become famous, such as Sojiro, Yoshiro Mori or Jean Hisaishi, and even Tetsuro Oda, who has just emerged and is known as a genius, getting Nobuo Uematsu, who is not very famous now, is the most profitable deal for Jester, because Jester clearly knows that although Nobuo Uematsu is not as famous as the above, he can complete the quality of the soundtrack for "Final Fantasy" for more than ten or twenty years.

And these people above can't limit all their energy to game soundtracks for decades, because for these people, the stage of game soundtracks is too small.

As for Nobuo Uematsu's ability to complete the soundtrack of "Fire Empals", Jester has no doubts about it, because the kind of ethereal and ethereal, like flowing clouds and flowing water, full of Western romanticism that Nobuo Uematsu expressed in "Final Fantasy", is exactly the perfect fit for his "Fire Empalette".

Jester silently thought in his heart, in his new R&D team, he now has three candidates officially confirmed - Hironobu Sakaguchi, Yuji Naka, Hideo Kojima and half of the candidates who have not yet been determined - Nobuo Uematsu, he is silently reciting these names, and his face suddenly shows a smile that is difficult to describe in words, this smile, there are many kinds of emotions hidden in this smile, pride, confidence, and so on.

He really didn't expect that he would inadvertently recruit so many legendary figures.

This is a legendary R&D team.

With the joint efforts of such a powerful faction, what heights can the Fire Emblem of this world reach?

As soon as he thought of this, Jester was especially looking forward to it.

After two hours.

Jester and Tamahideyoshiro have interviewed four people in a row to participate in the recruitment of game developers, although these four people are not highly educated, and the best one is just a graduate of a university that even Yuhideyoshiro has never heard of, but the game industry has little to do with the level of education, Jester knows a lot of famous designers who have not graduated from well-known schools, or even went to college, or dropped out of college.

So, he didn't care much about it at first.

But after four people in a row, although three of them are fans of Jester or Mars Entertainment, they know very little about the understanding of the game, and even some of the basic common sense that the most basic developers should have, and after the interview of the four people, Jester suddenly had a desperate mood, if they are all at this level, then what is the need to continue.

However, he also thought that it was in this situation that Tamahide Yoshiro found Hideo Kojima in a big wave, so Jester still had to endure the interview.

There were ten applicants for the game development job this time, and Jester took advantage of the gap between the previous interviewee and began to look through the resumes below.

However, the resumes are all in Japanese, and Jester doesn't understand most of the content of the department on it, but in the name column, the real name is used - the text in Japanese is divided into real name and kana, the real name is kanji, and the name outside the kanji is called kana. In Japan, although their names can be written in the form of kana spelling, in a truly formal setting, in order to show respect for the matter, the person, or the occasion, it is common to write the real name of one's name.

For example, on Japanese business cards, the real name is used, on the invitation, the real name is also used, and on the resume, it is naturally the real name.

So just by looking at the name, Jester still knows him.

Just quickly turned the page, he saw an extremely familiar name, startled, he involuntarily pulled out this resume, carefully looked at the black and white photo on this resume, this photo is still slightly immature, and gradually coincided with the appearance of a person in his memory.

Yasuki Matsuno.

It was at this time that a new candidate pushed open the door, a young candidate with a young face, somewhat unkempt hair, and a chin that had just shaved off his beard and looked a little blue.

When he entered, he bowed and said his name.

He spoke Japanese, and Jester didn't know what he was talking about, but judging by his appearance, it was Matsuno Yasuki.

Yuxiu Yoshiro, who was sitting next to Jester, glanced at the resume of Matsuno Taiji that Jester was reading in his hand, and reminded him in a low voice: "He is Matsuno Taiji, a top student at Japan University of Political Science and Law, but he has dropped out, he is very similar to Hideo Kojima's hobby before, hoping to become a director or a game designer, but it didn't work much, so he originally planned to return to school, but after seeing our recruitment notice, the resumption of school was postponed. I came all the way from Tokyo to participate in our recruitment. ”

Hearing Tamahide Yoshiro's words, Jester looked at the young man in front of him seriously, to be honest, the young Matsuno Yasuji is still very similar to Matsuno Yasuji twenty or thirty years later, and even the body shape has not changed much, the same emaciation.

Looking at the slightly familiar young man in front of him, Jester's mind couldn't help but flash some scattered memories of Yasuki Matsuno.

If Matsuno's favorite things besides movies and video games are DND and rock, especially Queen is his favorite, which is the same as Jester, but Matsuno's favorite Queen song is QUEEN-II, which perfectly shows Freddy. McRee's ethereal, clear voice and the eerie sound of heavy metal rhythms.

Among the materials that Jester has read about Matsuno Yasuki, the most famous and his masterpiece "Ogre-Battle" was created in the boring days and nights of constantly reveling in Queen's music album called QUEEN-II, and the deeply affected Matsuno Yasuki actually wrote a mythological novel "Ogre-Battle-Saga" in all eight chapters, and the name of "Ogre-Battle" is taken from the first song on the B side of the record.

This English name may not be familiar to many domestic players, but after being translated into Chinese, many veteran players who have experienced that era will know this game in an instant - the Chinese translation of "Ogre-Battle" is "Royal Knights".

A masterpiece in the truest sense of the word.

And he is exactly what Jester needs the most, who can write a magnificent, shocking and acceptable Western fantasy game plot script that can be accepted by the Japanese, and his kind of writing method that uses a lot of cinematic narrative techniques to portray characters from multiple angles and advance the plot is also very suitable for Jester's understanding of "Fire Empalette".

After Tamahide Yoshiro asked Matsuno some simple personal questions, Jester made a gesture to Tamahide Yoshiro, and they had agreed that as long as Jester made this gesture, it meant that Jester would ask the question himself.

"Do you speak English?" Jester first asked, this condition is very important in Jester's eyes, after all, his team will start the development of "Fire Emblem" in the United States, and the employees in it must have a large number of Americans, all employees must be able to communicate normally, and exchange ideas, so English is a skill that must be mastered.

Hearing Jester's words, Matsuno Yasuki nodded, his English was very stiff, especially the biggest disadvantage of speaking English in Japan, that is, the inability to produce many voiced sounds was also vividly reflected in his body, but after all, under Jester's hard listening, he was still able to understand what he said.

For example, just now, when Jester asked him if he could speak English, he stammered back that he could speak a little, not too proficient.

Jester frowned at first when he heard this reply.

"So is it possible to have a day-to-day conversation?"

This time, Matsuno nodded: "If you don't speak quickly, it's not a big problem." ”

"Okay, I'll ask you a few questions first." Jester also responded, and at the same time, he picked up the resume of Yasuki Matsuno that had been placed on the table before he said, "I saw you say that you like role-playing games with DND rules, and you also like to read Western fantasy novels, and you are also very confident in your writing, saying that when you were in school, you often earned money by publishing articles for the school newspaper - so, if I asked you to write a novel in the style of Western fantasy, would you be able to do it?" ”

As soon as Jester finished saying this, a strange look appeared on Matsuno's face.

He looked at Jester's expression of Yan Sù who was deliberately squeezed out with a straight face, swallowed his saliva, thought for a few seconds, and replied: "Mr. interviewer, I am actually working on a novel in this style that you said, but only with two chapters, if you agree, I can show it to you right away - those two chapters of the novel are in my briefcase, and my briefcase is outside the room." ”

This was a bit of a surprise to Jester, who didn't know when Yasumi Matsuno started writing Ogre-Battle-Saga, so Jester paused and asked about the name of the novel written by Matsuno.

And Matsuno Yasuki didn't doubt him, he replied simply and clearly.

“《Ogre-Battle-Saga》。” R1152
