Chapter 249 Final Fantasy 2 Eighth Update

According to the original plan, the second part of Final Fantasy is actually on the schedule, and the work is ready to be officially released at the end of this year.

It's a pity that things didn't work out as planned. First, the main creator found it boring and ran away, saying that he wanted to go back to school and no longer pay attention to the Final Fantasy series.

Then there was a major problem when NGS unilaterally divested their development team of their estimated investment at the time.

Then at this moment, other people at Square finally felt that there was no future and lack of fighting spirit, and finally the collective vote agreed to sell the company.

Although I was reluctant, I was still helpless.

But things are different now.

This time there is a sponsor.

This benefactor is Zuo Zhen.

Zuo Zhen directly acquired the company. Of course, this money could not be regarded as investment, so Zuo Zhen spent some extra money for game development.

But before that, Zuo Zhen wants to see how far these people have made Final Fantasy Part 2.

"President, when we first started the project of Final Fantasy 2, we decided to make major adjustments and modifications to the game's character growth system. We also got inspiration from your heavy mechs and simply improved the characters. It’s indeed a bit too boring to increase levels and abilities.”

"Look at this, this is the character growth system we plan. What we plan to use this time is a method called training to improve the character's ability. The more times a certain ability is used, then the character's certain ability will be If we can grow at the same time, our capabilities in this area will become stronger and stronger.”

"This is our most proud design. President, what do you think?"

Interim president... Oh no, now he is the interim deputy president of Square's real game branch.

And Zuo Zhen is basically the president of this company now.

The deputy director personally stood next to Zuo Zhen and explained to Zuo Zhen some of the game mechanics and systems they had planned for the second part of Final Fantasy.

"Proficiency?" Zuo Zhen blurted out.

"Proficiency...what? Proficiency?"

The deputy director didn't react for a while and a half.

But when Zuo Zhen finished saying this word, he suddenly felt as if a switch was turned on in his heart.

Proficiency...

yes!

This title is much better than the previous ones!

Their team had previously used this method of training to emphasize the character's ability growth.

But obviously the term proficiency is more appropriate.

"President, your proficiency title is really great. I never thought about it before."

Zuo Zhen waved his hand and said casually: "This is just a description and title. You continue."

Zuo Zhen didn't take it seriously. After all, this was an adjective that was already bad in later generations. He was just suddenly reminded and then remembered it.

"Okay, we are going to use this training next... no, it is proficiency to optimize the details. For example, if the player uses a certain attribute magic more times in the battle, then he will specifically increase it after the battle. The magic proficiency of this attribute will become stronger and stronger as the number of uses increases, which is actually very logical."

"Well, this idea is quite creative."

The term proficiency seems to have appeared earlier than I thought.

Zuo Zhen thought that it would take a long time for this proficiency-related title to be given.

The basic structure of Final Fantasy 2 is actually basically completed.

Perhaps because of the competition between heavy-duty mechs, Final Fantasy 2 also had some tendencies toward heavy-duty mech gameplay when it was being developed.

The character level is basically abandoned, replaced by this ability proficiency, and another one is equipment matching.

In the heavy mech, you can rely on matching different shells and armor to create a super powerful tank.

Zuo Zhen also saw this kind of gameplay in the development plan of Final Fantasy 2.

But this original game in his memory does not exist.

It seems that I have also had a considerable impact on these established manufacturers.

The overall gameplay has been basically finalized, and the plot has a general idea, but it has not been detailed.

Four characters of different professions rise up to resist the rule of the evil emperor.

At the same time, the plot is also mixed with many choices. Different choices in some plot stories will have a greater or lesser impact on the subsequent main story.

This is also included in Heavy Mechs, and now it has been taken over by Square to make use of it.

"President, you don't mind if we use your creativity directly, do you?"

The deputy chief said with some embarrassment.

In fact, he really didn't expect that one day he would become Zuo Zhen's subordinate.

Now that he was bringing out his ideas about Final Fantasy, Zuo Zhen wondered if there would be any bad impression when he saw that these were so similar to the Heavy Mechs.

"Why should I mind? You are just imitating the gameplay. This is very common in the gaming circle, and it also proves that my gameplay is attractive enough that even you want to imitate it."

If possible, I wouldn't mind becoming that being who has always been imitated but never surpassed.

Zuo Zhen looked up at the deputy chief after reading the last page of the Final Fantasy 2 plan.

"Is there anything else? Just more plans for Final Fantasy 2?"

"Well, this is no longer available. This is all our content. Originally, we planned to develop the game in more detail in the near future. Before, we just had a general direction."

The deputy director asked tentatively: "President, aren't these contents enough?"

"It's almost the same. The gameplay and other aspects can be developed in this way, but some details can be adjusted."

The deputy director immediately asked humbly: "President, please tell me how to adjust it?"

"Well... first of all, have you ever thought about equipping this proficiency thing directly as a weapon?"

"Huh? Make things like skills and magic equipped like weapons?"

"Well, I remember that there is a setting called Magic Stone in the world of Final Fantasy, right?"

The deputy director immediately nodded and said: "Yes, it does exist, but there is only a brief introduction in the first part, and there are not many mechanisms related to magic stones."

Zuo Zhen immediately said: "Then just use it, give the magic stone a setting, store skills in the magic stone, and then anyone can use the magic stone to train. In this way, a magic stone that is powerful enough to train can The equipment can be immediately switched to other team members in the future, so the team members do not have to waste time to start training again.”

"This... seems pretty good."

The deputy commander imagined it for a moment and felt that this way of playing was much simpler, which meant that players would not have to play repeatedly, and they would not need to waste too much time training each character with some skills that may or may not exist.

"Well, then the gameplay is determined. Next, let's talk about the development of the login platform and game screen."
