Final Fantasy isn't as influential in Japan as Dragon Quest, but it's not the case around the world.

It is true that the production of "Final Fantasy", because of the influence of Sakaguchi Hironobu and American games, is not so extreme in style, so in Japan, their sales and reputation are weaker than "Dragon Quest", but because the style of "Final Fantasy" has added more European and American factors, this game is very popular in Europe and the United States.

is far more popular than Dragon Quest.

However, Yuji Dig didn't take the limitations of his game to heart, in his mind, as long as he did his part, as for Europeans and Americans who don't like his game? For him, if you don't like it, you don't like it, and his games are just for those who like his games.

Due to the time difference, the release date in Japan is definitely one day earlier than in the United States.

Although "Final Fantasy" is not as famous as "Dragon Quest", after all, it has the excellent quality of the first part, and since Yuji Naka's "Phantasy Star", there has not been an excellent RPG game on the market for a long time, so many players, whether they are fans of "Final Fantasy" or not, are also extremely looking forward to this game.

In addition, judging from various newspapers and periodicals, Hironobu Sakaguchi's live demonstration at the press conference was only touted, and with Jester's cheering, there were still a lot of people gathered on the day of the release.

In Ginza, Tokyo, where the launch was made, it was even more crowded, because it was not a weekend, and there were even many students who were going to school, who even skipped class to wait in line for the release, according to a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun, a day ago, there were enthusiastic players who set up camp in front of the flagship store of Mars Entertainment for the first time, waiting for the release.

The weather in mid-April was not very warm, and there were at least 300 people queuing up all night, and the weather was still very cold at night, so when some people arrived early in the morning, they saw that many people did not look very good.

However, it can be seen that their faces are very excited.

"It is said that Final Fantasy's graphics are better than 'Phantasy Star'!" A boy in his twenties, with a pimple on his face, chattered to his friends, and gestured while talking, as if describing what kind of game "Phantasy Star" is, "Let me tell you, Itagaki and Yuji Nakatsu's "Phantasy Star" is definitely the best RPG I've ever played, and that picture is ......."

But apparently, this passive observer did not seem to have the slightest interest in the game called Phantasy Star that his friend was talking about, he was about twenty years old, with a face, a pair of sunglasses, and black hair, and if he were not wearing a school uniform and a Waseda University emblem on his chest, I am afraid that anyone would think of him as a Yakuza.

The friend, called Itagaki a little impatiently, yawned a little, and looked up at the door of the still closed Mars Entertainment Ginza flagship store, which was still closed.

"I'm going to be dozing to death, if it weren't for ......"

Itagaki yawned, while muttering impatiently, he didn't sleep all night yesterday, not for studying, but for gambling, Itagaki is a genius, he was admitted to Waseda University effortlessly just by reading books in high school, and it seems that no course in college can stump him, almost no need to review every subject is full of honors.

However, he has a very big problem, that is, he likes to gamble.

Last night he was playing poker with a few friends in the apartment, Itagaki has been very bad luck recently, and finally lost a lot, and several of his friends have a good relationship with Itagaki and plan to return the winning money to him, but Itagaki is a very good gambler. Unless he wins back the money he loses, it is impossible for him to accept gifts from others.

However, Itagaki's luck last night was too bad, even if a few of his friends released water, he couldn't win the money, but lost what little money he had.

Although Itagaki gambles well, but after all, this is the only little living expenses he has left this month, although he really wants to get back, but the principles that have always been preventing him from doing so, but his eyes are still constantly aimed at the money he just lost, and this scene is seen in the eyes of several of his friends.

Itagaki's popularity is very good, and he is very righteous, and his friends are also very good, they actually wanted to return the winning money to him before, but because of Itagaki's persistence, they have played until now, after they saw Itagaki eyes, they looked at each other and thought of an idea.

All three are video game enthusiasts, two of them are admirers of Jester, and their favorite game is Jester's Fire Emblem, which the two of them called a monumental masterpiece at the beginning, and of course, the two of them also fell in love with Final Fantasy, although this game is not as good as Fire Emblem, but it is barely good.

Another was a Nintendo fan at the beginning, and he had a soft spot for Miyamoto Shigeru's games, especially The Legend of Zelda, but after he played "Fire Emblem" solemnly recommended by his two Jester fan friends, he couldn't help but admit that this game was indeed much better than "The Legend of Zelda", but then after Enix released "Dragon Quest", he fell in love with this game again, and even felt that "Fire Emblem" was nothing more than this in front of "Dragon Quest".

For a staunch fan of "Dragon Quest", this Itagaki classmate is naturally very unpleasant to "Final Fantasy" and Hironobu Sakaguchi, who often attack "Dragon Quest" and Yuji Hiroshi.

This time the two sides attacked and taunted each other, and this fan of "Dragon Quest" naturally stood on opposite sides of the other two Jester fans.

"Itagaki like this, tomorrow Mars Entertainment's new game, the second game of "Final Fantasy" by Hironobu Sakaguchi, will be released, but we don't have much time, you go and help us buy back two copies of the game, it will be considered the money lost to us tonight." As one spoke, he pushed the money in front of Itagaki while the other pushed the money back.

The other one was originally not interested in the second part of "Final Fantasy", and the only game he wanted to wait for now was "Dragon Quest II", which was ready to be released in a week, but at this time, it wasn't the time to say this, others had found an excuse to return the money they won, and they really didn't want to pay it back, and they really didn't plan to ask for the money.

He also knows a lot about Itagaki's situation.

Seeing such a scene, Itagaki was also very grateful, and he promised his three friends that he would go to Tokyo tomorrow to help them buy the game back.

So, this morning, Itagaki went out early and took the Shinkansen all the way to Tokyo and entered Ginza, and on the way there, he met an alumnus who had the same purpose as him, and the two of them went together.

Putting these things down for the time being, Itagaki was really impatient to listen to the schoolyard chatter next to him for a long time, he studied law, he really didn't have much interest in games, and he didn't even understand why his best friends liked this kind of childish game like to jump around on TV.

But every day with a few avid game enthusiasts, naturally, a lot of things are heard and dyed more, and naturally I know more.

He heard the person next to him talking about the head, so with a kind of idea of playing time, he took the initiative to talk to the other party, Itagaki waited for the other party to finish a paragraph, he said casually: "This is called Jester. Lee's game is really good? ”

Then, the Itagaki alumnus glanced at Itagaki in disbelief, and replied in a tone of disbelief, "Haven't you heard of Jester. Plum? ”

"It's not."

Itagaki shook his head, he had heard of Jester. Lee's name, how could he not know the name that several of his friends muttered in his ears almost every day, and he continued, "I've heard it, but I've only heard from friends that he's a good game designer, and it seems that the owner of a game company seems to know so much......"

Unexpectedly, this alumnus of Itagaki had just heard what Itagaki had said, and he immediately turned on his face and said in a corrective tone: "To be precise, Jester. Lee is not a good game designer, he is the best, one-of-a-kind designer in the world, and he is not the owner of a game company, he is the owner of the biggest game company in the world. ”

"The boss of the biggest gaming company?"

Itagaki doesn't know much about the video game industry, he just often hears the names of some games, characters or companies from the mouths of a few of his friends, among them, the most mentioned game companies by his friends seem to be one called Nintendo and the other is called Mars Entertainment, Mars Entertainment is not familiar to him, it is said to be an American company.

However, Nintendo is much familiar to him, and in Japan, Nintendo is a big company.

Even when Itagaki was idle, he still thought that it would be a good choice for him to go to Nintendo as a legal consultant after graduation, so Itagaki asked, "So how is this company you are talking about compared to Nintendo?" I've heard that this is the largest game company in Japan. ”R1152
