"Final Fantasy" has much less influence than "Dragon Quest" in Japan, but it is not the case in the whole world.

Of course, the production of "Final Fantasy" is not so extreme in style because of the influence of Hiroshi Sakaguchi's hand on Jester and American games. Therefore, 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.

It is much more popular than Dragon Quest.

However, Yuji Okui did not take the limitations of his game to heart. In his mind, just do part of himself. As for Europeans and Americans who don’t like his games? For him, if he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t like it. His games are just made for those who like his games.

Due to the time difference, Japan's release date must be one day earlier than the United States.

Although "Final Fantasy" is not as famous as "Dragon Quest", it has the first excellent quality as the foundation. In addition, since "Fantasy Star", there has been no excellent RPG games on the market for a long time. Therefore, many players, whether they are fans of "Final Fantasy", are extremely looking forward to this game.

In addition, from various newspapers and magazines, it was only a praising the live demonstration of Hiroshi Sakaguchi at the press conference. In addition, Jester's cheering, many people gathered on the day of release.

In Ginza, the starting location of the first launch, it is even crowded. Because it is not for the weekend, many students who are in school actually skipped classes and waited for the sale. According to a reporter from Asahi Shimbun, a day ago, enthusiastic players set up camp in front of the flagship store of the first launch of Mars Entertainment, waiting for the sale.

The weather in mid-April is not quite warm, and there are at least 300 people staying up late to queue up. The weather is still very cold at night. So when some people who came early in the morning arrived, they saw that many people looked not very good-looking.

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

"It is said that the screen effect of "Final Fantasy" is stronger than "Fantasy Star"!" A boy with a face full of acne around the age of 20 chattered to his friends around him, while talking and gesturing. He seemed to describe what kind of game "Fantasy Star" is. "I tell you, "Fantasy Star" produced by Itagaki and Nakayuji is definitely the best rpg I have ever played. That picture is simply..."

But obviously, this passive listener seemed to have no interest in the game called "Fantasy Star" mentioned by his friend. He was about twenty years old. He was looking at a face, wearing a pair of sunglasses, and had black hair scattered. If he hadn't been wearing a student uniform and a school badge of Waseda University on his chest, anyone would have regarded him as a Yakuza.

This friend named Itagaki, who was a little impatiently, yawned, looked up at the door of the Mars Entertainment Ginza flagship store that was still closed, and was still closed without any suspense.

"I'm almost dozing off. If it weren't..."

While yawning, Itagaki muttered impatiently that he didn't sleep all night yesterday. It was not for studying, but for gambling. Itagaki is a genius. When he was in high school, he just read books casually and got into Waseda University effortlessly. In college, no courses seemed to be difficult for him. He could hardly review and every subject was excellent.

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

Last night, he played cards with a few friends in the apartment. Itagaki was very unlucky recently and lost a lot in the end. Several of his friends had a good relationship with Itagaki and planned to return the money he won. However, Itagaki's gambling products are very good. Unless he wins the money he loses, he will not be able to accept gifts from others.

However, Itagaki's luck last night was so heartless that even a few of his friends could not win the money, but instead paid the only little money he had.

Although Itagaki's gambling products are good, this is the only living expenses he has left this month. Although he really wants to get back a little, his always-off principle is constantly stopping him from doing this. But his eyes are still constantly aiming at the money he just lost, and this scene is all seen in the eyes of his friends.

Itagaki has a very popular relationship, and he is very loyal, and his friends are also very good. They actually wanted to return the money they won to him before, but because of Itagaki's persistence, they have played until now. After seeing Itagaki's eyes, they looked at each other and came up with an idea.

These three are all video game enthusiasts, two of them are Jester's admirers, and their favorite game is Jester's "Flame Emblem". They called this game an immortal masterpiece. Of course, they also fell in love with "Final Fantasy". Although this game is not as good as "Flame Emblem", it is barely powerful.

Another fan was a Nintendo fan at the beginning and had a special liking for Miyamoto's game, especially "The Legend of Zelda". However, after he played "The Emblem of Fire" solemnly recommended by his two friends of Jester fans, he couldn't help but admit that this game is indeed much better than "The Emblem of Zelda". However, after Enix released "The Dragon Quest", he fell in love with this game again crazily, and even felt that "The Emblem of Fire" was just like this in front of "The Dragon Quest".

For a staunch fan of "Dragon Quest", this classmate of Itagaki naturally disliked the frequent criticism of "Dragon Quest" and Yuji Oui's "Final Fantasy" and Hiroshi Sakaguchi.

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

"This kind of Itagaki, a new game for Mars Entertainment tomorrow, will be released in the second game of "Final Fantasy" produced by Hiroshi Sakaguchi, but we don't have much time. You can buy two games for us and think it's the money I lost to us tonight." One person said, pushing the money in front of him to Itagaki, while the other pushed the money back.

Another one was originally not interested in the second part of "Final Fantasy". The only game he wanted to wait for now was "Dragon Quest II", which was about to be released in a week. However, at this time, it was not when others were talking about these things, but they all found an excuse to pay back the money they won. They had to pay it back, and they did not intend to get the money back.

He also knows very well about Itagaki's situation.

Itagaki was also very grateful to see such a scene. He promised his three friends that they would go to Tokyo to help them buy the game back tomorrow.

So, this morning, Itagaki went out very early, took the Shinkansen all the way to Tokyo and entered Ginza. On the way, he met an alumnus with the same purpose as him, and the two walked together.

Temporarily suppressing these things, Itagaki was so impatient to hear the campus beside him chattering for a long time. He studied law and was really not very interested in games. He didn't even understand why his best friends all liked this kind of childish game that was so crazy about jumping around on TV.

However, I am with a few fanatical game enthusiasts every day. Naturally, I have heard a lot of things, so I know a lot.

He heard the man beside him speak very well, and he took the initiative to chat with the other party with the idea of ​​playing time. After Ichigaki finished speaking a passage from the other party, he casually said: "This game called Jester Lee is really great?"

Then, the Itagaki alum looked at Itagaki incredible and replied in an incredible tone: "Have you never heard of Jester Lee?"

"no."

Itagaki shook his head. He had heard of the name Jester Lee. How could he not know the name that his friends mumbled in his ears almost every day? He continued, "I have heard of it, but I have only heard from my friends that he is a good game designer. He seems to be talking about the boss of a game company. He seems to know so much..."

Unexpectedly, the alumnus of Itagaki just finished listening to Itagaki and immediately said in a corrective tone: "To be precise, Jester Lee is not a good game designer. He is the best and unique designer in the world. He is not the boss of a game company. He is the boss of the largest game company in the world."

"The boss of the largest gaming company?"

Itagaki doesn't know much about the electronic game industry. He just often hears some game names, characters' names or company names from his friends. Among them, the game companies mentioned by his friends the most are Nintendo. The other one is called Mars Entertainment. He is not familiar with Mars Entertainment. It is said to be an American company.

However, he is much familiar with Nintendo. In Japan, Nintendo can be regarded as a big company.
