Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

After deeply sighing, Song Ren was very happy again.

Isn't playing a game a sense of substitution?

Put yourself into the protagonist of the game and go on an adventure with him?

Obviously, the appearance of this Claude makes him very immersive.

It doesn't matter what he looks like, anyway, it's over if he has a substitute.

"However, now, did Claude know Barrett?"

Song Ren focused on the conversation between Claude and Barrett.

As soon as he came up, he was about to blow up the magic furnace, and this Barrett's words were the same as in the movie, and he was still rushing!

Looking at the interaction between Claude, Barrett and the Avalanche trio in the game, Song Ren also had some expectations and curiosity.

Although Barrett didn't show much face in the movie, Song Ren knew that he was also a member of the protagonist group.

There are also characters such as Crimson Thirteen, Vincent, Yuffie, and Tifa. Song Ren is also very curious about how they communicated with Claude.

At the beginning of the game, there is nothing to write about.

It is almost the usual simple process of the game, and by the way, the related tasks are explained.

Cloud is a mercenary and knows Tifa.

And Tifa was a member of Avalanche, so Barrett hired Claude to blow up the magic furnace together.

But at this time, Barrett didn't trust Claude very much.

The battle system of the game is not the pure action gameplay that Song Ren thought before, but it is similar to "Xenoblade Chronicles" but it is not an automatic attack. The player needs to control Claude to attack and dodge. In addition, there are also Players can choose to release the settings of magic and martial arts.

Although it seems to be an action, it is actually more of an RPG attribute. As a veteran player, Song Ren came to a conclusion in an instant.

If the technical operation is good enough, it will be enough to make up for some data gaps, but the most important thing is the improvement of data, as well as the arrangement and selection of skill strategies. The game also contains settings such as attribute restraint.

Of course, if you don't want to do it manually, the game also has an automatic battle command, and after selecting it, it can be the same as in "Xenoblade Chronicles".

Song Ren, who has played "Xenoblade Chronicles", can easily get started with this combat system.

Especially in the game, unlike "Xenoblade Chronicles", where you can only choose one character to control, and switch up to three different blades, players in the game can play the current two manipulable characters Claude and Barrett. Switch between each other, and the division of labor is also very clear.

The monsters on the ground are easy for Cloud to deal with, while some flying monsters are more efficient for Barrett to attack.

In the elevator, Barret also reiterated the news about Shinra and the magic furnace.

These are also the contents that were not fully introduced in ‘The Advent of the Son’.

To put it simply, the stream of life is extracted and transformed into magic water, which becomes a new energy source like oil and coal.

But the price of these new energy sources is that the lifespan of the planet is reduced, and the land loses its nutrient vitality.

This is also the reason why Midgar can hardly see green plants, and in the Advent of the Son, most of Midgar is covered with green vegetation.

It was precisely because at that time that Shinra, or Shinra's magic furnaces, were all bombed, which made the earth radiate vitality again.

"So Shinra Corporation is a large-scale group company. On the one hand, it creates social wealth through Moxu and squeezes ordinary people, and on the other hand, it destroys the planet's environment."

"As for Xue Beng, it is a private environmental protection organization that wants to purify the environment and hit big capitalists!"

Song Ren briefly summed up the contents of the Advent of the Son and the information collected so far.

In addition, as the game progresses, Song Ren also found some differences, that is, Claude's character currently feels very cold, but it feels a little like Sephiroth.

However, Claude in the advent of the Son of God did not give Song Ren this impression at first.

To describe it with a feeling, that is, Claude in Advent of the Son had a sense of guilt and a sense of unconfidence at first.

Not confident in his own abilities, so Claude left Tifa and the others, but in the end, with the encouragement of his partners, Claude re-energized to face Sephiroth.

And the current Claude gave Song Ren a very cold and arrogant look.

Especially the uninterested, Shinra 1st special forces who talk about it, proves this even more.

So the game plot of "Final Fantasy" mainly revolves around the battle of Sephiroth, and then the story of Claude's character changing slowly?

Just like the light in Xenoblade Chronicles turns into flame?

Along the way, Song Ren guessed in his heart, but this guess soon disappeared as the plot officially entered the interior of the magic furnace.

Because his attention was completely caught by the spectacular scene.

Thick copper pipes, huge machines in operation, continuously extract the flow of life from the bottomless underground world, and transform it into magic.

And a huge mechanical boss like a scorpion.

It fully demonstrates the unique mechanical beauty of steampunk.

No other words can be found, only spectacular.

Then the escape scene of the explosion of the magic furnace gave Song Ren an illusion that he was playing "Uncharted".

Fighting along the way, accompanied by the collapse of the equipment of the magic furnace, and the immersion brought by the burning flame VR perspective, are simply thrilling.

Through the arranged road, Claude and his party successfully escaped. On the chaotic street, Song Ren finally saw Alice, the flower girl who is another game character, but at this time, Claude and the other party's intersection was only with the other party. Bought a yellow flower.

Next, Claude followed Barrett and they took the subway and went to their secret base, the Seventh Heaven Bar in the ghetto.

And the proprietress of the bar is Claude's childhood playmate Tifa.

"Tifa! That's awesome!"

Compared to the fact that he didn't know the scene, and the Son of the Son was only a glimpse in the photos and Claude's memories, the flower girl who didn't even know her name at that time.

Obviously, Tifa's appearance made Song Ren even more excited.

With the black shawl hair, the exposed vest line and the black skirt, Song Ren could only let Ah Wei, who was already in the tomb, die again.

"Fuck! Bad review! Why in Detroit Become Human, players can control the character to squat down, but in Final Fantasy, except for level interaction, there is no way to do normal crouching!"

With some embarrassment, Song Ren, who wanted to peep at a special angle, expressed his disappointment.

The next plot is not very ups and downs, but a very flat narrative stage.

At this time, Tifa wanted to ask Cloud to help Avalanche, and used the very common memory kill.

'If Claude really becomes a hero like Sephiroth, then come and save me when I am in danger'

In the face of this warm memory killing, Claude then showed a rather 'hard' side.

"Sorry, I'm not a hero and I'm not famous... so I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the promise."

This **** iron will.

Claude, you will have no girlfriend in the future!

Listening to what Claude said in front of him, Song Ren was in a hurry.

This has a kind of feeling of playing galgame.

The direction of the protagonist is completely different from the direction of the strategy in your imagination!

Obviously, Tifa did not expect Claude to do this at all.

At this time, Barrett also appeared, but the reward to Claude was much less.

Here Chen Xu has also improved a bit compared to the original version. At least the tuition fee of Little Loli Ma Lin still has to stay. After all, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education.

Tifa, who was here, also asked Claude to take a look, and said that he would have money after replacing the air filter for the business in the slum, and asked Claude to collect the money with her.

"Let's go, just protect me."

Facing Claude, who was showing little interest, Tifa, who was lying on the bar, said in a coquettish tone.

Listen to Tifa's coquettish voice in front of her.

Song Ren couldn't help sighing like Claude, who can resist such coquettish coquettishness as Tifa!

Even in this episode, Song Ren's pure feeling was that President Chen wanted to show Tifa's coquettish lethality.

Song Ren and Tifa wandered in the slum with emotion, feeling a completely different style.

"Sure enough, it's a slum! This feels completely different from the previous painting style of Midgar's upper-level district!"

Come out of the seventh heaven and follow Tifa.

During the daytime, Song Ren was able to observe the surrounding environment more carefully.

As the name of this map is: ghetto.

From the perspective of the environment, it is really shabby.

When I blew up the magic furnace and took it out from the Shinra company.

A city around, at least looks like a modern style.

Not to mention beautiful, but at least it is orderly, and the streets are clean and tidy.

But in this slum it is completely different.

All kinds of wild cats and dogs, and houses built with plastic tiles, and all kinds of small bungalows and fences that surround them.

It feels like a wasteland environment.

Under the leadership of Tifa, Claude, played by Song Ren, has a more comprehensive understanding of this slum.

Along the way, I also learned some knowledge related to game operation. Of course, there are those who are friendly to Claude, but there are also those who are malicious to Claude.

And if you want to improve your relationship with local residents, you need to brush up your reputation.

The easiest way to gain reputation is to help some local residents to solve some troubles.

This will not only reap some rewards, but also greatly improve your local reputation.

Inside the warehouse, I saw Jesse and the Avalanche trio again.

As for the side quests, it is the process of a standard RPG game, so Song Ren was not too surprised.

Help the little girl in the sand park to find her best friend: the cat.

For this reason, Claude, who is carrying a big sword, needs to look for Meow in all directions in the slum.

It is also necessary to help the owner of the grocery store to teach the mutated mice a lesson.

By the way, go to the periphery of the slum to solve some mutant beasts that can threaten the local residents.

In addition, there is also a research institute that is committed to anti-Shinra even though it is a member of Shinra, and collects information on various monsters.

For the warehouse owner, drive away the various mutants in the warehouse.

"This is a Shinra warrior mercenary, isn't this a worker!"

"Workers, working souls, even a protagonist like Claude can't avoid working!"

After completing two side quests, along with the level increase, I got paid from the employer.

Song Ren suddenly woke up.

The current main line and branch line all illustrate one point.

That is the current Claude, not a big hero who saves the world.

He is a ruthless working machine.

I used to work for Shinra Corporation.

Now working for the residents of the slums and working for the Avalanche team.

But think about it carefully, it seems that no matter what game it is, the protagonist is a worker!

Geralt, the white wolf, was on the way to find his adopted daughter, and in order to make a living, he could only accept various commissions to work part-time.

Arthur Morgan worked for Dutch for a lifetime. Not only did he get himself in when the company went bankrupt because of a work-related illness, but if the company really went bankrupt, it would be fine, but the company transferred its assets ahead of time.

But then again, Tifa in Advent of the Son opened a courier company, which was obviously funded by Claude.

Where did the money come from? Earned by working!

Does this mean that if you want to start your own business, you have to work first?
