Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Regardless of the quality of the content, just how much content a game has. The most intuitive point is to look at it from the map.

Although it is actually reflected in the game, a small map does not necessarily mean less content, but a large map will definitely not have less content.

After all, there are so many places players can go, and since a game has so many maps designed, players always need to get involved.

If "Final Fantasy" is an open world, like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", Song Ren will not be much surprised.

Even if it is a map design like "Xenoblade Chronicles", he will not have many surprises.

But the changes in the scenes from Shinra to District 7 in Midgari prove that the map of "Final Fantasy" is not penetrating.

Instead, like traditional RPGs and games such as "Uncharted" and "The Last Survivor", it takes a separate scene.

That is to say, in the process of scene switching, the map switching is mainly based on plot cutscenes, rather than allowing players to freely run from point A to point B.

Coupled with various branch lines in different maps, as well as some small games, it is definitely a big killer of time.

At least Song Ren has spent more than an hour in the gym until now.

The purpose was to see how Tifa performed when squatting. Of course, the big coach was a little out of character.

In addition, it is the content of Midgar.

In fact, from the perspective of the plot, there is not much content in Midgar.

More importantly, it introduced the existence of Shinra Corporation, and led to the core protagonist group headed by Claude, and the clues of Sephiroth.

Although he is the big villain, in fact, from beginning to end, Sephiroth never even showed his face.

But even so, in Midgar, there is still a lot of content that impresses players.

Tifa stopped talking to Alice.

Jesse in the Avalanche trio can be said to be a pain in the hearts of many players.

The second is Claude's journey of women's clothing, which is also a big event that can be remembered from beginning to end!

In addition, there are all kinds of pits buried in the game. Just like the previous CG movies, there were many pits buried in the arrival of the Son of God at that time, which made players feel that there is a kind of riddleman, which they thought was accompanied by the game. The official launch can be unlocked.

Now that it can be played, Song Ren feels that there are more mysteries bothering him.

The first is that Claude's character is completely different from that of the Son of God, and the second is that the current Claude seems to have some problems with his mental state, and he often falls into a state of ignorance.

There is also Alice, her first love, and who and why did the noise reduction in the game, obviously an important role.

Why did Sephiroth change from being a hero that Shinra preached to being an anti-Shinra?

What kind of grudges does Cloud have with Tifa and Sephiroth?

It can be said that there are too many confusing points in the game.

………………

Of course, it's not just Song Ren who is confused, there are countless players like him.

And compared to the past, players who bought the game simply because of the name of the Nebula game.

This time "Final Fantasy", because of the previous "The Son of God".

In fact, it also attracts many light gamers, as well as some players who don't play games very much.

One of the main reasons is that the game's selling is really good.

All-in-one handsome and beautiful.

Tifa, Alice, and Claude didn't say anything.

Including some Shinra villains, they are also very capable in terms of appearance.

Coupled with the thread game mode, a picture of "Final Fantasy" definitely belongs to the level of the current top echelon, which can be called a movie-level picture performance.

At the same time, there is a simple difficulty and an automatic combat system, which is not very complicated for most players who are new to the game.

For example, when the automatic mode is turned on, the player does not need to dodge or anything, and it will be finished all the way to A.

The intelligent AI will add blood to the player appropriately, and even turn on the automatic mode.

Even if the player deliberately wants to lose the battle, it is a more difficult thing.

As for the absence of challenges, isn't the automatic mode designed to do just that?

Including the weapon development points in the game, you can directly choose the established genre.

It can be said that it is very simple and easy to use, after all, this is an RPG game.

Therefore, for many players who fell into the pit because of "The Son of God", they can fully view "Final Fantasy" as a manual version of the movie.

There is no need to study any equipment, skills and combat systems, directly control the characters you like and watch the plot along the main line, these contents are enough to make these light players happy.

"Midgar is absolutely amazing. The industrial beauty displayed by the huge machinery is really shocking!"

"That's right, compared to what you can only watch in the movie, it's really shocking to see Midgar in the game in person!"

"I didn't expect that Claude seemed to be afraid of cats!"

"Tifa and Alice are so beautiful!"

"What Tifa, Alice, I just want Claude in women's clothes!"

"But I'm still very interested in the game's plot. Isn't Alice the heroine? Is there her lover in Shinra Special Forces?"

"In comparison, I'm more interested in when Sephiroth will appear. So far, Sephiroth has seen his sword!"

"Looking forward to Sephiroth's +1! In the coming of the Son, Sephiroth is so handsome that he exploded. Although he died in his own BGM, there is a saying that Sephiroth broke through Shinra and killed him alone. President, this combat power simply thinks of an explosion!"

"Don't talk about Sephiroth, don't you feel that something is wrong? The identity of Alice's ancient species makes me have a bad premonition, this "Final Fantasy" will not be a tragedy in the end, right?"

"It's not impossible! I played until Shinra attacked Avalanche, and Sister Jesse has already received the lunch!"

"By the way, Alice has never officially appeared in 'The Advent of the Son', and the language is unclear, isn't it!?"

"Should... Shouldn't it? The plot of the massage parlor, the plot of Claude's women's clothes, and the 'quarrel' in Shinra Prison all seem very happy?"

"That's right, and Jesse is just a supporting role after all, even though he has a lunch box."

"I believe President Chen shouldn't be so ruthless, right? If you think about it carefully, didn't Tess in "The Last Survivor" also get a lunch at the beginning? But Ellie didn't die in the end!"

"Haha, that's not necessarily true. Does President Chen have less criminal records?"

"A good girl like Jesse is dead, a good little brother like Wedge is dead, and Biggs is gone too. It shouldn't be possible to get a knife later, right?"

With the launch of the game, there have been more and more discussions on the Internet about Final Fantasy.

Many people were also shocked when they left Midgar.

After all, with so much content in Midgar, it is only a novice village?

And so many holes were dug.

Ancient species, Xenovia, Claude who became the Shinra special forces because of worshiping Sephiroth, and Tifa who had nothing to do with the Shinra special forces, how did they become enemies of Sephiroth, and Alice's first love was Who.

All these questions are bothering the players, but when they leave Midgar at the moment, these contents are still full of holes, and they are the kind that have not been filled in.

Simply!

And as Claude embarks on the adventure of chasing Sephiroth.

The stories behind the characters such as Barrett, Crimson Thirteen, Tifa, and Alice are slowly revealed to the players.
