Chapter 165: Final Fantasy! (1st Update)
"What epic RPG is Fengyun ready to do? Mr. Yang, Brother Yang, don't sell it, okay? Ma Liang circled around Yang Yun, and his heart was itching: "When I think of the epic level, I am excited!" I was the first to join the R&D team! ”
Yang Yun scolded angrily: "You kid get out!" I'm annoyed to death, I'm making trouble here! ”
Epic RPG game, this adjective is not something that can be used casually, other small companies just make an RPG casually, dare to call it epic?
Seeing that the online media in later generations are "epic RPG game XXX evaluation" at every turn, and "20XX side-scrolling epic masterpiece", as if epic things don't cost money, that's called a disgusting!
Looking at it now, in the entire game industry, only Fengyun Game Software Company dares to boast about Haikou like this, which is carrying the power of the King of Fighters, announcing its existence to the world with the momentum of a king.
The spirit of Wang Ba was scattered, and all the manufacturers wailed.
After the news of Fengyun came out, almost all RPG manufacturers were terrified.
Listed, such as Nintendo, the stock price plummeted by 5%, and many shareholders sold off.
For those that have not been listed, such as Enix, the feedback from various channels shows that various sales data are almost stagnant, customers are mostly consulted, and their purchasing power is reduced.
originally planned to go public this year, but the investor was directly stunned by the news, who would dare to force the listing at this critical juncture? When Fengyun's RPG game comes out, what kind of impact will DQ be affected as a competitor? Let's wait and see. If DQ is defeated, investors will lose all their money!
It's obviously just the news that Fengyun Company announced its entry into RPG games. But it was interpreted by everyone as a battle for the first throne of Japanese RPGs!
No one knows what the outcome of this RPG battle will be, so players who want to buy Nintendo faction consoles and RPG games. More or less began to hesitate, should I wait another year and a half to see what RPG games Sega came out?
Everyone knows that there has never been an RPG on the Sega MD platform, and Sega players even thought that Sega would never launch an RPG game, but they didn't expect it to be such a good news, and they all cheered!
After Wang Zhe announced the news, Fengyun Company's phone was blown up.
But then there was no follow-up, as if nothing had happened.
This scene is not surprising to everyone. It's the same as fighting games, there's no news, there's no news, and after a while, one will suddenly pop up, and Capcom and SNK will be beaten with a slap and can't find the north.
The less information there is, the more mysterious it becomes.
The phone was also blown up, and Nintendo, needless to say, must be the first to be blown up, in addition to Enix.
Yuji Horii had been explaining all day on the phone, all of his friends. There are friends in the comics industry, friends in the game industry, media reporters, and even their own relatives.
Kotoshi Horii called. Quite dissatisfied, he yelled in an almost roaring tone: "I heard that you made a bet with a company called Fengyun? Who jumps off the building if they lose? ”
Yuji Horii was sweating profusely and hurriedly explained, "Father, you misunderstood. It was an order from the top of the company, and I didn't do anything. And even if you lose, that's the company's business. I would never have committed suicide by jumping off a building! ”
Who made this rumor?
Others Fengyun Company only said less than 20 words, which was worried about his suicide, comforted him to look away, and persuaded him to hurry up and prepare for the future, and the calls all came.
He hasn't jumped ship yet, but Chunsoft is the first to come with the news that there are already three jishu backbones who have been poached!
"Ba ...... Baga! On the phone, the angry Yuji Horii scolded, this speed is too fast, right?
As soon as the news of the "declaration of war" was released on the front foot, how many people were poached on the back foot?
Koichi Nakamura was also depressed: "Section Chief Horii, please get rid of our embarrassing situation as soon as possible and release news to refute rumors!" At this rate, the DQ5 may not be able to be made in the next year! These are all senior programmers who have followed me for three years, and all of them have participated in the design of DQ3 and DQ4, which will be rare talents in any game company! Do you know how many resources we put into cultivating these people? ”
How did Yuji Horii not know? Senior programmer job hopping is the deadliest!
Directly send 3 skilled workers to competitors, and train newcomers on their side, it will take at least half a year to completely get rid of them, and the gap between this entry and exit and Sega has become a lot smaller.
But he can't do what Koichi Nakamura asks, how can the rumor refutation news be released? What can he say? Say Enix is not afraid of the storm? Or is Dragon Quest not afraid of the challenges of any RPG?
"This Sega is too arrogant!" Yuji Horii slammed his hand on the tabletop, shook the sky, and asked angrily, "Didn't you sign a prohibition and breach of contract agreement with those employees?" ”
Nakamura Koichi was stunned, and suddenly remembered one thing: "The breach of contract agreement has no effect!" Because they weren't poached by Sega, I heard that it was the Pharaoh Control of the PC industry who poached them! It doesn't conflict with our video game industry, right? ”
Yuji Horii quickly figured out the doorway, his angry lips trembled, and if he was face to face with Hikaru Nakamura, he wanted to rush over and slap his face: "Nakamura! I said that you don't really understand or fake don't understand? The people controlled by Pharaoh are the people of the dragon, and the people of the dragon are the people of the storm! They have internal mobility within the company, can you manage it?
Don't talk about others, just look at your own company! Over the years, Hiroshi Naito is gone, the Takahashi brothers are gone, and now a few more are gone, who do you leave behind? ChunSoft has become the most famous software training base in Japan, and it is free training and high salary! Teach! Base! Earth! ”
This roar on the phone made Koichi Nakamura ashamed, he knew that he was not good as the president, but he was a good hand at making games, and there were indeed too many deficiencies in business management.
Yuji Horii scolded and was speechless to this teammate.
If you're not afraid of god-like opponents, you're afraid of pig-like teammates!
My own team was poached by someone, and I asked them for help, what do you mean? also refute the rumors, did they take a fancy to the 100 million yen Nintendo sponsorship fee? Stupidity!
And the Sega camp is also very lively, and the hotline wiring of Fengyun Company has generated the busiest people, not one of them!
"This is Fengyun Games! You are Mr. Yamashimahara of H Company...... Hmm, haode, I wrote it down...... I'll let you know if there's a need, zaijian......"
"This is Fengyun Games! Mr. Iijima of C Company...... I'm sorry I can't give you an answer, I can only register information here...... haode I wrote it down, zaijian......"
"Wind and Cloud Games! Any product launch news of Fengyun can be viewed in NHK and Asahi Shimbun, xiexie your attention, zaijian ......"
This little Japanese girl, after entering Fengyun Company, never thought that she could receive hundreds of phone calls in one day, dozens of colleagues in the game industry took the initiative to ask about cooperation, and more often left contact information, begging Fengyun Company to call them when needed.
In addition, there are small media organizations, Sega fans, Nintendo fans, fans of various game manufacturers, there are people who ask for information, there are thousands of thanks, there are people who scold, there are all kinds of people, there are all kinds of people.
Really powerful people will call the offices of senior executives, Wang Zhe is like this, many high-level representatives of the media personally invited him to attend the reception, participate in exclusive interviews, shoot promotional videos for Fengyun Company for free, and so on.
In some cases, the presidents of some companies have personally called to discuss the possibility of cooperation.
Wang Zhe procrastinates when he can, pushes when he can, is impartial, and does not have private contact with anyone.
And among the middle employees of Fengyun Company, who doesn't have three relatives and five friends?
None of them escaped, the former colleagues who were still struggling in the previous company, the hard-pressed classmates who entered the trip together but did not enter the good company, and the reporters who were idle and worried that the world would not be chaotic and inquire about gossip news all day long, harassed Fengyun Company up and down.
All the people didn't get an answer, because Wang Zhe personally said the news to the media, and he just obeyed Yang Yun's orders, and only got these dozen words of orders, the real Jihua, only Yang Yun alone.
After two or three days of fermentation and brewing, looking at the messy news uploaded by the society, Yang Yun moved.
He personally approached Square Enix, came to the door alone, and singled out a group of people.
There were only two people sitting in front of Yang Yun, Masashi Miyamoto, the president of the company, and Hironobu Sakaguchi, the main designer of the Final Fantasy series of games.
Outside the conference room, Square Enix's restless employees, planners, artists, architects, programmers, and marketers were all staring nervously at the conference room, unsure of their fate in the future.
Yang Yun smiled; "There's no need to be a big enemy, I'm here to ask if Square Enix is willing to beat Enix and sit on the throne of the No. 1 RPG game sales in the home video game industry in Japan and even in the world?"
Nani!
Masashi Miyamoto and Hironobu Sakaguchi thought they had misheard and looked at each other, but they became even more confused.
Masashi Miyamoto asked tentatively, "Fengyun Company...... Aren't you ready to make an epic RPG? ”
Yang Yun crossed his index finger in front of him, acting very casually: "Yes, do you want to know where I have reached now?" (To be continued......)
