Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

"I'd be satisfied even if it's a new anime!"

As the aged voice in the trailer gradually faded away, a familiar melody finally began to play.

That melody was the opening theme of a game that once moved countless players to tears.

However, because of the new era, this main theme needs to be more modernized.

But that's still not enough to get players excited.

Because they haven't seen what they most want to see yet.

Two seconds later, a figure finally appeared on the game screen.

The figure appeared somewhat dark, as the entire scene was rather dark.

Even though it was just a silhouette from behind and it was dark, they instantly recognized who it was.

Because he was carrying a large sword.

That greatsword represents a character.

Only one person in this world will possess that greatsword.

The trailer abruptly ended at that moment.

"It's a new video! A new animation!"

"That's right, it must be some new anime!"

In Kazuo Murakami's live stream, several hosts were already speaking with great certainty.

The meteorite logo for this series is gradually emerging.

"A new Final Fantasy VII game animation! That Easter egg from before seems to be right, it should be... ohhhhhh!!!"

In the live broadcast room, the host continued to confidently state his guesses.

Previously, a mysterious netizen revealed a super hidden Easter egg from the original Final Fantasy VII game online.

The Easter egg implies that a story is about to be rewritten.

At the time, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment directly stated that they had no comment and then actively shifted the focus, making everyone temporarily forget about the matter.

But now, I doubt anyone has forgotten.

But in the end, everyone was wrong.

They speculated that this might be a new game animation, or some derivative stage play, novel, etc.

But when the preview finally stopped on a single word, the entire venue, the entire live broadcast room, and almost everywhere watching the broadcast erupted in excitement.

remake

Remake.

This means that a new Final Fantasy VII game will be made.

And for the players, this is the best love letter.

Zhu Youxing kept his promise.

More than a decade later, the remake of Final Fantasy VII has been fully revealed in this world.

The cheers from countless players at the scene were even more frenzied than those during the recent StarCraft World Cup live broadcast when the champions were announced.

After all, the champion can only receive cheers from a portion of the supporters.

And now, almost all the players are cheering.

Myron Case felt it was very noisy, very noisy.

Around him, almost everyone was shouting a name at the top of their lungs.

Final Fantasy 7

Even Hayakawa Ueto, who is almost fifty years old, was shouting, which was very unbecoming of someone in a position of authority.

"Come on, Myron, be a young man at this time of year, shouting 'Final Fantasy VII' will definitely get your blood pumping!"

Hayakawa Ueto tugged at Myron Case's sleeve, and Myron Case could only cover his ears and stand aside, very unwilling.

However, he couldn't suppress the envy in his heart.

The players are in a frenzy right now.

This fervor wasn't directed at him, but rather at the game called Final Fantasy VII.

In this world, the original Final Fantasy VII's game sales ultimately settled at over 7 million copies.

Of those, more than 20 million copies represent the total sales volume in the first year.

The subsequent 20 million+ copies represent income earned over the past ten years or so.

What no one knows is that the selling price of Final Fantasy VII has remained around thirty dollars ever since.

This means that the subsequent 20 million sales brought Yuxing Electronic Entertainment more than $600 million in revenue and at least half of the profit.

In just over a decade, a game software can still generate such staggering revenue.

Other software companies would probably be ecstatic if they saw this.

If they had known that making games was so profitable, they should have switched to this business model a long time ago!

Myron Keys now shares a similar view.

If the Final Fantasy VII series truly belongs to me, then this moment of glory also belongs to me.

That's the charm of video games.

Regardless of age or gender, everyone is moved by the same thing at this moment.

Tens of millions of sales represent more than just numbers.

The tens of millions of sales represent at least tens of millions of people who have been moved by Final Fantasy VII.

And if we calculate based on the official completion rate of 63%, then more than 20 million players have been moved by this game.

After completing the game, all 20 million+ players had the same thought: they hoped to rewrite the story and make the plot even more perfect.

Later on, even the strategy guide for Final Fantasy VII sold millions of copies.

Ultimately, the printing plant had to use cheaper paper in hopes of increasing supply efficiency, but this did not dampen the players' enthusiasm.

Sometimes, even if it's just for collection purposes, some players will want to buy a Final Fantasy VII strategy guide.

Later, rumors circulated that the Final Fantasy VII strategy guide contained a perfect ending, which dramatically increased the sales of the guide, causing a short-term surge in demand and creating a social impact that prompted sociologists to study it extensively.

And all of this seemed to finally erupt the moment Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced. Players who had been moved before excitedly shouted that they had never been happier than they were today.

"Midgar! Sephiroth! I will return! I will rewrite all of this!"

"My Alice!"

"My Tifa!"

"My Barrett?"

"Wait, who's calling my Barrett?"

"My precious Treasure!!!"

"Hey hey hey! Your fetishes are getting weirder and weirder!"

Chapter 879 Myron Keyes' Last Struggle

879

Sometimes, all it takes to ignite a player's passion is a single game.

Meanwhile, the area selling game-related merchandise and game products suddenly became packed in the evening.

Thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, all Final Fantasy VII merchandise in the official Carnival store was sold out in just over ten minutes.

It seems that since players can't buy the games, they're starting to make retaliatory purchases on related merchandise.

Even a Tifa mini doll keychain priced at 5,000 yen is snapped up by a lot of people.

The production cost of this thing is only five or six hundred yen, which is practically robbery, but players are willing to buy these products.

Prior to this, a new concept trailer was also released after Final Fantasy VII Remake.

This concept video is just that—a concept video; it doesn't even have a title.

This concept film is part of the Cyberpunk 2077 project under the Bamboo Star Vision.

This trailer is the first video trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 that originally appeared in the world.

The trailer features a very beautiful woman with two mantis blades extending from her arms. Her mechanical body is depicted with exquisite CG effects, and there is also a scene where bullets graz the woman's face, creating sparks.

The concept trailer didn't reveal much information, and since it didn't mention the game's name, many people simply thought it was a demonstration of the Unreal Engine. As a result, it only attracted some players' amazement at the exquisite CG visuals and recognition from professionals.

This is also the effect that Zhuyouxing wanted: to present the general concept of the game first. However, we will have to wait another two years to see the finished product. Announcing the game we want to make too early will make players wait a long time.

As a fellow player, Zhu Youxing certainly didn't want others to experience the same agonizing wait as he did.

This carnival was packed with valuable information from its press conference.

It started with the release of multiple games from Surrey Electronics on the PC platform, followed by the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

These games are all incredibly popular.

Myron Case is very difficult to understand.

He had heard of the great name of Final Fantasy VII.

But why should a game that has already been made and is redeveloped with new game technology be able to gain the same level of attention again?

If this were in the film and television industry, such rehashing of old material would definitely be met with fierce ridicule from the audience, even if new technology was used.

Because most people still prefer the classics.

But video games don't seem to be like that.

Players really welcome these remakes of old games, and the older the player, the more excited they are when they see these remakes, which is really hard to understand.

He can only lament now that he doesn't have a similar classic work.
