“Ayiyomfihlo into yokuba iiprojekthi zabalandeli zivaliwe ngalo lonke ixesha,” utshilo uDan Eder Iphupha lokugqibela le-9: Iprojekthi yeMemoria, ileta yothando eqhutywa ngabalandeli ukuya kwi-JRPG yakudala. Ayijoli ukuba yinto edlalwa ngokutsha ye-adventure ye-epic nangona kunjalo- endaweni yoko, yimbeko yobuhle kwilizwe elingenaxesha kunye nabalinganiswa.
Kuyinto engaqhelekanga kwihlabathi lendalo yoluntu, kodwa u-Eder ufuna ukusebenzisa esi sazisi sahlukileyo ukwenza into ekhethekileyo ngokwenene, nokuba imiqobo emininzi ime endleleni yokuyenza ibe yinyani. Kodwa iqela liyaqhubeka lisiya phambili: "Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, ezinye zezimvo ezihlala sizifumana kubagxeki 'yokonwaba nayo ngelixa ihlala' okanye 'yeka kwaye uyeke ukungena'", uyacacisa uEder. “Ngokuqondakalayo abantu bayathandabuza ukubakho kobomi obude kwenye iprojekthi enomdla. Umahluko ophambili kukuba, ngokungafaniyo nezo projekthi, iMemoria yeyona nto ibalulekileyo yobugcisa babalandeli, akukho nto ingaphaya- ayisayi kuba nomdlalo wenene, ayisoze ikhutshelwe eluntwini, kwaye ayiyonto ngaphandle kokuba 'yintoni na ukuba'. . [Ayikho] yahlukile kulo naliphi na elinye icandelo lobugcisa elenziwe ngabalandeli. Asizange, kwaye asisoze, senze idola enye kule projekthi, kwaye ngokusisiseko sikwenzela ukwanelisa abalandeli. ”

I-genesis yeProjekthi yeMemoria isukela yonke indlela ebuyela kwiminyaka encinci ka-Eder, ngamaphupha e-FF9 enokuthi iphinde ingene kwingcinga yakhe kamsinya nje emva kokuqaliswa komdlalo wokuqala. Ayimangalisi loo nto-izigidi zisajonga iFinal Fantasy 9 njengeyona yure igqwesileyo. “Nangona kuyinyani ukuba le projekthi iqale ukusebenza kakuhle kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, bekungayi kuba yinto elula ukuthi bendiyicwangcisa ukusukela kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo,” ucacise watsho uEder. "Ndikhumbula ndibhala 'i-FF9 remake' kwincwadana yam yeeklasi ngexesha leeklasi kwaye ndibhala izinto ezintsha ezicingelwayo kunye noomatshini benkqubo yokulwa, ndiqala izibongozo ezikwi-intanethi zokwenza kwakhona i-FF9 ye-PS2, ndizoba imizobo ebonisa izigcawu ezivela ku-'FF9 sequel' kunye nantoni na. Ndingatsho ngokuzithemba ukuba ubomi bam ngebuhluke ngokupheleleyo ukuba umkhuluwa wam wayengawubolekanga lo mdlalo kumhlobo wakhe ngehlobo lika-2000.
"Njengesithethi esingengomthonyama wesiNgesi esingazange sidlale i-RPG kude kube lelo xesha, umdlalo wam wokuqala wawungumngeni wokuthetha kancinci, kwaye ndingatsho ngokunyanisekileyo ukuba andiqondi ukuba akukho kwanto ibisenzeka okokuqala ngqa. ugqibile umdlalo (indlela endiye ndakwazi ukuyibetha ngayo iyinto engaqondakaliyo ngokwayo). Ayizange ikhathale kum nangona kunjalo, kuba ndandithathekile ngokupheleleyo ngabalinganiswa abamangalisayo, ukulandelelana kwe-FMV okuwisa imihlathi, umculo ohlekisayo, umdlalo owonwabisayo, kunye nomoya opheleleyo kunye nomtsalane ophuma kuwo onke amanyathelo. Uthando lwam olungagungqiyo lwalo mdlalo lwaqhubeka kubo bonke ubuntwana bam kunye nobomi bam abadala, kwaye sesinye sezizathu ezibangela ukuba ndikhethe ukuba ligcisa lomlinganiswa we-3D kushishino lomdlalo wevidiyo. Ngamafutshane, le projekthi yindlela yam yokubulela lo mdlalo ngayo yonke into ondenzele yona kule minyaka ingama-21 idlulileyo.”
Umdla ka-Eder walo mdlalo unokufunyanwa kwiingcali ezininzi zeshishini ezikhule nemidlalo enje kwaye bafuna ukuyiphindaphinda, okanye benze into eyahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo ukuze baphile ngokuqaqamba kwabo. Le yindlela iProjekthi yeMemoria efumene ngayo iinyawo zayo, iqala ubomi njengomsebenzi osecaleni ngaphambi kokuba intyatyambe ibe yinto enamabhongo angaphaya. Isenendlela ende ekufuneka ihambe, kodwa kungxamisekile okuncinci ukufikelela kumgca wokugqibela, ke iqela linokuthatha ixesha lalo kwaye lisonwabele nje ukuziyolisa kwayo yonke into.
"I-Memoria eneneni yaqala ngokungekho semthethweni njengeprojekthi esecaleni xa ndafikelela ku-Colin Valek [we] Sucker Punch Studios ekuqaleni kuka-2020 emva kokuba ndifumene intshinga yakhe yendawo evela kwiFF7," utshilo u-Eder. “Bendisele ndimodelile iPrincess Garnet, kwaye bendicinga ukuba ingangumbono omnandi ukudibanisa iitalente zethu ukucinga ngokutsha indawo yokuvulwa kwe-Alexandria. Ekuqaleni, ibiqhubela phambili ngesantya esifana nenkumba – besiyikhupha kancinci kancinci ixesha elingaphezu konyaka singakhange senze nkqubela-phambili. Ngelixa uColin eqhubeka nokwenza imodeli yezakhiwo, ndiye ndadala omnye umlinganiswa-uVivi.
Esi santya somkhenkce sifumene ukuvela kwakhona kohlobo ngoJanuwari xa indawo yase-Alexandria yagqitywa ekugqibeleni, kunye no-Eder kunye nenkampani ekugqibeleni yakwazi ukubona ukuba ingakanani iprojekthi enokuba nayo ukuba yayivulelwe uluhlu olukhulu lwabadali. “Xa ndathumela umfanekiso weskrini weWIP, impendulo evela kwabanye abalandeli beFF yayintle kakhulu, ngaphezu kokuba besicinga,” ukhumbula uEder. “Ngokukhawuleza, abanye abantu abasuka kumzi mveliso wemidlalo baqala ukufikelela - amagcisa okusingqongileyo, oopopayi, abaxholi, amagcisa eengcamango. Kulapho ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndijike le projekthi yecala ibe yimbono egcwele ngokupheleleyo yomdlalo wokuqala, ngelixa ndihlala ndiqinisekisa ukugxininisa inyani yokuba le yingqikelelo engadlalekiyo, kuba asinakuze sibe nanjongo yokwenza. nantoni na eyophula i-copyright ye-Square Enix. Kwiinyanga ezine emva kokubhengeza le projekthi ngokusemthethweni, sikhule ukusuka kwiqela labalandeli beFF ukuya kwiqela elikhulu lamagqala oshishino angaphezulu kwama-20 asebenza ngokubambisana ukuhlonipha lo msebenzi ubalaseleyo, ukhuthazwa luthando lwethu kunye nokuthanda kwethu umthombo wezinto.
Ngoku, iprojekthi inabaphuhlisi abangaphezu kwama-20 abavela kwiSucker Punch, Ubisoft, Rare, Unbroken Studios, kwaye ngaphezulu bonke bantywila kulo msebenzi wothando ngexesha labo lokuphumla, nabaqambi kunye nabadlali belizwi nabo banikela ngeetalente zabo ukunceda ukwenza lo mbono wehlabathi. yeFinal Fantasy 9 ixabisa ukubhiyozelwa. Kodwa u-Eder uyazi ukuba nomdla ogqithisileyo, esazi ukuba iiprojekthi zabalandeli ezinje zihlala zizitshabalalisa ngokwenza into engenzekiyo ngezixhobo ezimbalwa.
"Omnye weyona migibe ixhaphakileyo kwezi ntlobo zeeprojekthi zabalandeli kukuba namabhongo kakhulu," utshilo u-Eder. “Ekubeni sonke sisebenza ngokukhutheleyo kumzi mveliso wevidiyo, siyakuqonda ukubaluleka kweziganeko ezibalulekileyo, iinjongo zexesha elifutshane, nokuthatha izinto inyathelo elinye ngexesha. Okwangoku, sijolisa kwiinzame zethu kulandelelwano lokuvula lomdlalo, ojikeleza ikakhulu uVivi kunye nokuhlola kwakhe iAlexandria. Indawo esisuka kuyo kusaxoxwa ngayo, kodwa into endingaqiniseka ngayo kukuba uVivi ayizukuba nguye kuphela umlinganiswa ophambili esiceba ukumquka.” Ndixelelwe ukuba iMemoria ijonge ukubonakala ingabonakali-ubuncinci ngokwembono yemizobo - ukusuka kwinto onokuyibona kwi-triple-A blockbuster, kwaye kubonakala ngathi iqela linomnombo wokuxhasa elo bango.
Izinto ezibonwayo yeyona nto iphambili emva kwayo yonke loo nto, kuba ukuguqula le projekthi ibe sisiqwengana semithombo yeendaba edlalwayo kuya kufuna izixhobo ezingaphezulu kakhulu ukuyila. Ngokunciphisa ukugxila kwayo, iMemoria iyakwazi ukuhambisa into ekhethekileyo ngelixa iphinda iphephe ukucaphuka kwe-Square Enix. “Inyaniso yokuba le yiprojekthi engadlalekiyo ngokuqinisekileyo yenza kube lula ngathi ukuhlengahlengisa amava ngendlela eya kuvumela ngokwenene abaphulaphuli ukuba bantywiliselwe ngokupheleleyo kwihlabathi ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngemida yobugcisa,” undixelela uEder. “Ukwenza umdlalo osebenzayo wokwenyani ngumdlalo webhola owahluke ngokupheleleyo, lowo singazange sibe nenjongo yokuxoxa sinikwa imida yelungelo lokushicilela. Oku kusinika inkululeko eninzi malunga nendlela esiza kubonisa ngayo ihlabathi laseGaia ngokuhambelana nabalinganiswa, intshukumo yekhamera, [kunye] neenguqu zescene. Sinezicwangciso ezininzi ezipholileyo zexesha elizayo elingekude – ndicela ujonge phambili kuzo!”
Ngokuphathelele inyani elusizi yeeprojekthi zabalandeli ezinje zihlala zicinywa ukuba zingabikho ngabapapashi abalahla iileta zokuyeka kunye nokuyeka iileta, u-Eder uqinisekile ukuba iMemoria ikwi-niche apho kungayi kwenzeka khona. Ayisiyomveliso yorhwebo okanye edlalekayo – sisiqwengana sobugcisa babalandeli, nangona bubugocigoci obungenasiphelo. Ukuba amaza ayenokutshintsha, u-Eder ukholelwa ukuba iinkampani kufuneka zamkele umdla wamava anje.
"Ukuba bendinokunyaniseka ngokupheleleyo, ndicinga ukuba inokuba sisigqibo esikrelekrele seSquare Enix sokwenza into engalindelekanga kwaye ndityale imali kwiprojekthi efana nale," utshilo u-Eder. “Kukho umyinge wehype, italente, inkuthazo, kunye nenkanuko engangxengwanga emva kwayo. Ayisiyonto endinokuyilindela, kodwa ndicinga ukuba inokuba luncedo olukhulu ekubuyiseleni ukuthenjwa kunye nentlonipho le nkampani idumileyo yaziwa ngayo kwiminyaka yayo yegolide. "
