Be a goddess from Tokyo

Chapter 601 Preheating
ps. The authors of the songs that appear in this book have been included in the music list. Search for the title of the book on Kugou, and the cover is Luo Bao.

The game has already been submitted for review, because the Bureau of Culture is in charge of reviewing games, which is not the same department as the General Administration of GD, so although Luo Quan knows Director He, he has a little friendship.

But she doesn't know how much this friendship can be used for, so when it is sent for trial, everything follows the rules and regulations.

The only thing that can work now is probably her good reputation in China. After all, she is a celebrity that GQT has praised so many times, and she also has the title of a patriotic entrepreneur. Thanks to Yuxi.

With so many elements integrated together, those bigwigs from the Cultural Bureau should not make things difficult for her.

As for "Frozen", the production of special effects is in full swing. Luo Quan usually communicates with the special effects director to give some suggestions. Later, she has to visit the studio in person to guide some important shots.

As a director, general shots can be handed over to other personnel to complete after clarifying the main points, but important shots must be done by yourself, otherwise you will not be able to shoot the shots you want.

After the game was submitted for review, the warm-up for "Final Fantasy" has also begun.

Before the Sony ps4 exhibition, "Final Fantasy" appeared as the finale game, although it was only a demo at that time, without much content.

However, the quality of the characters in the game and the special effects of the battle scenes have already made countless game fans cheer for it.

This may not be the best game in the world, but it must be the movie with the best picture quality. Under the 4K screen, the game screen is like a movie, and it is completely impossible to see that this is a virtual world.

The skin of the characters is so lifelike under the reflection of the surrounding light and shadow.

If you don't know this is a game in advance, you may not be able to tell whether it is true or not at first glance.

As the game with the best graphics so far, the significance of "Final Fantasy" is extraordinary.

When discussing historical status, groundbreaking is a very important part.

Some games may not be very fun from the current point of view, but in the era when it was born, it was an astonishing game that had never appeared before.

In fact, not only games, but also music and movies.

And now, games are gradually getting rid of the label of children's playthings to kill time, and gradually begin to become real art.

In the past, game lovers always referred to video games as the ninth art, but the society at that time did not recognize this statement, and found it quite funny, thinking that playing video games was just playing with things.

However, with the development of the times, this concept is gradually changing.

An excellent game can really give people a better experience than watching a movie, and because the character is controlled by the player himself, it is much more immersive than the audience watching a movie from a third-person perspective.

Looking back now, the ninth art of video games is actually not so difficult to accept.

Especially after games with the image quality of "Final Fantasy" come out, the term art can truly become a reality recognized by the public.

Luo Quan doesn't think all this can be done with just one "Final Fantasy", but she believes that this day will come sooner or later.

And the first "Final Fantasy" to eat crabs will be like a patriarch.

Therefore, the slogan of "Final Fantasy" is also an extremely arrogant statement like "the 3A masterpiece of the next era".

Compared with those big game companies in the industry, Quanshui Entertainment Game Studio is still unknown at present, and dare to advertise like this is a bit bragging and not drafting.

However, the quality of the game gave them the confidence to brag about it. After the new promotional PV of "Final Fantasy" came out, it became popular searches at home and abroad one after another.

No matter if you are a stand-alone game fan or an online game fan, you have been screened by "Final Fantasy" these days.

But as long as you play games, you are no stranger to this name. You already knew it because of Luo Quan's relationship half a year ago.

It's just that I didn't expect the game to be released so quickly, but looking at this ridiculously realistic picture quality, it doesn't look like a shoddy work.

Although there is no innovative gameplay, it is just an ordinary jrpg, but the most important thing about this kind of game is the picture quality and plot.

It is not too much to say that the picture quality is the best in the industry, and anyone with eyes can see it.

As for the plot, you can only know it after you experience it in the game.

In short, the "Final Fantasy" publicity pv has swept the country and abroad, as long as young people who like to play games on the Internet can basically see relevant information.

And some young people over the age of 30 in China can occasionally see it, but it is only in the false advertisements of web games.

To evaluate whether a stand-alone masterpiece is popular or not, you only need to see if its game pv has become a legend, and you can know if it has any advertising videos for page games such as Blue Moon.

"Final Fantasy" obviously followed in the footsteps of its predecessors, and I don't know if it is an honor.

In addition to China, Japan, one of the most prosperous countries in the video game industry, has also put a lot of effort into the promotion of "Final Fantasy".

Of course, this is mainly thanks to Sony.

Speaking of which, Sony originally wanted to spend a lot of money to buy "Final Fantasy" and make it an exclusive PS masterpiece.

If it was something else, based on the relationship between Luo Quan and Sony, maybe they agreed.

But this won't work. She knows very well how high the quality of the "Final Fantasy" game is. The sales volume is destined to explode globally, and only when it is launched on all platforms can its influence be maximized.

If it's only on the ps platform, it's easy to say abroad, but the domestic sales may be cut in half!

At the beginning of the century, Chinese children basically played video games on Xiaobawang game consoles or arcade machines. Because of the ban, these things gradually disappeared.

But now, computers are the mainstream for everyone to play games, and Steam users far exceed PS users.

Luo Quan didn't want to lose such a huge number of users, so even if Sony offered a very high price, they still didn't agree.

As for Sony, because there were too many cooperations with Luo Quan, and these cooperations brought too many benefits to the company, after multiple considerations, they finally gave up.

Of course, it's just giving up the monopoly, not giving up the game.

All fools know the potential of this game, even if they can't monopolize it, as long as there are users who buy it on the PS platform, Sony can take a cut.

Moreover, the ratio of Steam users to PS users in Japan is almost completely opposite to that of Huaxia next door.

Online games are not very popular in Japan, but stand-alone games are extremely popular, and Nintendo has a lot of credit for this.

It's a pity that due to the performance of the equipment, Nintendo's swich can't carry this masterpiece of next-generation graphics, so there is no contact with Luoquan.

Nintendo currently occupies the market, mainly relying on casual games such as Mario, which wins with gameplay and does not pay attention to picture quality.

After the Sony game branch won "Final Fantasy", the publicity of this piece is also a top priority.

In Akihabara alone, the images of the female protagonist Tifa and the male protagonist Cloud are almost scrolling on the large electronic screen for 24 hours, and it is difficult for pedestrians passing by below to see it.

As for Tokyo, related posters have also appeared on many train platforms, which can be called carpet marketing.

For the Japanese who love stand-alone games and also love role-playing games, this "Final Fantasy" is definitely a dog gnawing bones-just right for the appetite.

As for Europe and the United States, although cars and guns are the mainstream, role-playing is not an unpopular theme, and the market is still very large, so there is no need to worry about sales.

And just after this overwhelming publicity, the final pricing of the game was finally released.

Because it is a stand-alone game, it is a one-time payment to play all the content without in-app purchases, but the subsequent updated DLC (extra content) requires additional payment.

In terms of game pricing, it is slightly more expensive than previous games.

The first is the normal version of ps, which is priced at 5000 yen in Japan, which is equivalent to more than 300 yuan.

The domestic price is 355 yuan, and Europe and the United States are the most expensive, but the difference is not too much, only 60 US dollars.

It seems that the price is a bit outrageous, but on the ps platform, this price is very normal, because games on ps are more expensive than other platforms.

For the ordinary version of steam, the Japanese price is 4800 yen, the domestic price is 299, and the American price is 55 dollars.

In fact, the gap between the two platforms is not special, and both are acceptable.

That's just the price of the regular version, on top of which there's a deluxe version that's $10 more expensive.

The deluxe version has more clothes for many characters than the normal version, such as cheongsam, princess dress, swimsuit, kimono, Hanfu, etc. There are special clothing from various countries.

They are basically women's clothes, so it doesn't matter who they wear them for. It must be Tifa and Alice. LSP is definitely not to be missed.

After the price came out, it still caused some discussions, but it was mainly in China.

Some game fans feel that the price of 299 is still a bit expensive. After all, the games currently on the market are only in the early 200s.

However, opponents feel that the price of 299 for a game with this kind of picture quality is not outrageous, and it is not a sky-high asking price. You can save by eating a few meals.

This can actually reflect the gap between the rich and the poor in China. 300 yuan is the cost of a few meals for some people, but it may be half a month's living expenses for others.

For this situation, Luo Quan anticipated it from the very beginning, and she also knew that it was a problem that could not be avoided or even solved.

After seeing more and more similar voices, she chose to compromise for the sake of word of mouth.

Temporarily decided to reduce the global sales price of the game by US$10, from 299 to 239, which is a little more expensive than ordinary games.

However, there is an additional condition after the price reduction, that is, there will be no discounts during festivals.

Nowadays, many game manufacturers sell more than 200 games, but in less than a month, they have broken bones, and they may only sell more than 100.

Therefore, players call this phenomenon a bit early to enjoy early enjoyment, and later to get a discount.

I believe that there are not a few players who have this kind of thought about "Final Fantasy", but this price cut basically wiped out everyone's thoughts.

Although Luo Quan didn't say anything, this additional condition basically said: "Everyone thinks it's okay to be expensive, I can lower the price, but if you want to wait for a discount to buy it later, it's impossible.

This game is sold for 239, and the price will not change again. "

With such a situation formed, it is difficult to say whether the players have earned or lost.

After all, some players like to play the game as soon as possible, while others prefer to wait for a while to buy bargains.

But what is certain is that people who know how to buy games will buy them no matter how high the price is, and those who don’t know how to buy games are still reluctant to pay even if they sell them for 69.

Piracy is a long-standing problem. Although Luo Quan has made an anti-cracking program, it can only delay the cracking speed as much as possible.

In addition to the need for online verification and account binding every time you log in, otherwise game cracking is impossible to avoid.

However, if you have to connect to the Internet every time you play a game, the stand-alone machine cannot be called a stand-alone machine.

Therefore, this can only be hoped for the players' self-consciousness.

At present, there is still some awareness of copyright in China, but games are not music, and the price gap is relatively large, so Luoquan does not report too much hope.

After this price cut, the game pricing turmoil subsided for the time being. At present, the Internet is full of players and major manufacturers who are looking forward to it.

These game companies also want to see what Luoquan can produce.

It is worth mentioning that "Final Fantasy" currently only has Chapter 1, but the game time has reached more than 30 hours.

There is no big problem in terms of size, but there are still hidden dangers in an incomplete story, it depends on whether the plot can make up for it.

And during this time, Luo Quan finally started to find something for himself after spending a long time at home.

Previously, the system issued a task for her to open a Chinese restaurant in the United States. The requirement for completing the task was to gain a certain amount of influence, but it did not say how much it would be.

Because the rewards are relatively generous, and it doesn't look like a particularly difficult task, Luo Quan decided to complete it when he had nothing to do.

After all, how much work does it take to make a dish, not only can you hone your cooking skills, but also spread Chinese culture by the way.

Chinese people believe that food is the most important thing for the people, and food actually contains many unique cultural symbols of China.

It should be a good thing if her restaurant starts up.

But first, she had to get the store in order.

Americans don't have the allusion that "the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys". If a store wants to prosper, it must be located in a downtown area, and the decoration must be high-end.

Through the housing agency, Luo Quan quickly found a restaurant in the center of New York.

The owner of the restaurant jumped off the building after failing to invest in stocks and investments a while ago, but luckily he survived and went to the hospital.

But the expensive medical expenses made the family on the verge of bankruptcy due to stock speculation even worse, so the owner's son planned to sell the restaurant to cash in to pay debts and medical expenses.

Originally, the business of this restaurant in a busy city has always been good, but I didn't expect to encounter such a change, and it was cheaper to Luo Quan.
