About Tsukino Ayano, Takayuki also went to her house and explained it to her.
Takayuki really didn't expect that Tsukino Ayano, who is usually emotionally stable, would also have abnormal moments.
She would actually be emotionally affected by the plot of the game.
Although Takayuki appeared calm when he went to her house, he patiently explained the plot structure to her and reassured her to continue working with peace of mind. In the end, although the blade of Final Fantasy 7 seems sharp, there will still be a chance for a comeback sooner or later, but it will take a long time.
This is something Takayuki had planned early on.
Final Fantasy 7, whether it's the original story or the Remake released in 2020, has become a super classic that is talked about by everyone.
The Remake of Final Fantasy 7 in 2020 not only remasters the original in high definition but also reconstructs the original plot, giving some of the tragedies that were originally destined a chance to be redeemed, reigniting hope for those players who were once devastated by Final Fantasy 7.
Square Enix, the company that created Final Fantasy 7 in the previous life, probably didn't plan for a high-definition remake, but now Takayuki has already made preparations early on. He even plans to leave some clues in the original plot, but finding these clues will certainly not be easy and will require careful examination to discover the evidence that Takayuki has left behind.
After persuading Tsukino Ayano, Takayuki returned to his development position.
This time, he really disappeared from everyone's sight and completely devoted himself to game development.
From character illustrations to the construction of new 3D models, Takayuki supervises everything, which is more serious than the game development he was involved in before.
Because this is an opportunity to showcase the company's industrial strength in gaming. As long as the presentation is good enough, the future of the company is immeasurable.
Of course, in addition to developing games behind closed doors, the promotion of Final Fantasy 7 has also been ongoing.
Takayuki has arranged for community members to regularly announce some plot settings in the community every month.
For example, the overall worldview of Final Fantasy 7.
Materia, Lifestream, Shinra Corporation, as well as the series of background stories about SOLDIERs, Jenova, and the Ancient race, etc.
By regularly publishing in the community, people can continue to follow the progress of this game.
Some real Final Fantasy fans are naturally very happy.
They can piece together the general appearance of this world by collecting new game background information every month.
"This time it's really a modern world, it's interesting. It seems that the Final Fantasy series is going to take a completely different path, no longer the boring settings of heroes, dragons, princesses, knights, etc. To be honest, after playing so many role-playing games for so long, I'm a bit tired of these similar settings."
"I agree with what you said. Since Dragon Quest pioneered role-playing, countless game companies have developed many similar games. I am really tired of it. This Final Fantasy is a breakthrough. Look at this world, there are still trains, and modern industrial steel buildings. It's perfectly fine to say that this world is a parallel world to Earth."
"Speaking of which, isn't Lifestream similar to oil? In our world, we are also crazily mining underground oil, but sooner or later, one day oil will run out, just like in the setting of Final Fantasy 7, the Lifestream is exactly the same."
"No, it's a bit different. At least when our oil is used up, it won't cause any harm to our lives, just a new way to obtain energy, but in Final Fantasy 7, the Lifestream directly affects the lives of people in this world, using a little will make life wither faster, this is truly slow suicide."
"I think, this time, the game god probably also drew on the current situation of our modern society to some extent. Even if the Lifestream is different from oil, it is also a warning in disguise that we cannot overexploit."
"Hey, hey, you're exaggerating a bit too much, aren't you? This is just a game, why does it seem like an entertainment product also needs to have a warning educational significance?"
"Who says games can't have educational significance? Movies and literary works are also entertainment products. Can't they also have educational significance?"
"I don't agree with your point of view, I think..."
...
In the forum, the new plot setting has aroused heated discussions among many people. They even began to expand the scope of discussion beyond the game itself and started to discuss in conjunction with reality, as if players were really considering the whole world seriously.
Some more extreme players even openly stated in the forum that they would not drive any gasoline-burning vehicles in the future.
Takayuki felt that this was completely unnecessary, but he welcomed such lively discussions.
Because it can promote the popularity of the game, a good game also needs good promotion. Otherwise, it may be forgotten by everyone.
And now, with his reputation, series of fans, and continuous promotion, this game will not be too bad in terms of sales, but whether it can make a profit depends on the quality of the game development.
As for the community, players are still in intense discussion.
They even spontaneously organized manpower to start analyzing the worldview of this game in advance, and even made it look decent, which surprised the original set designers in the development team.
They were surprised by these players' enthusiasm for the game.
They can actually piece together the entire worldview by piecing together the settings. And these players are completely unpaid, providing inspiration to these set designers free of charge.
Takayuki also felt a little emotional when he saw this. There are always some similar jokes on the internet in his previous life, saying that players or fans have written some exciting content, causing a stir, and then the comments below will say, "Here's the pen for you, you write it."
Of course, these players' settings definitely cannot be directly copied, but they still have some reference value, which can be considered as helping the set designers reduce some workload, and they are very happy.
Then, time quickly came to 1999.
The last year of the millennium.
