  • The Birth of “Final Fantasy”: Square Corporation
    岡山大学経済学会雑誌３７（１），２００５，６３～８８ The Birth of “Final Fantasy”: Square Corporation Daiji Fujii 1. Introduction “Final Fantasy” was one of the million selling series of role playing games (RPGs). Square Corporation, which might be known as Square Soft outside Japan, had been known as the Japanese software developer to release this series approximately every year. Square enjoyed large annual turnovers from the series and diversified their businesses including a CG movie production. Journalism shed a spotlight on this software factory as a member of the “Winners Club” in Japan’s economy under the futureless recession in the 1990s. This heroic entrepreneurial company and its biggest rival, Enix Corporation Limited, known to be the publisher of “Dragon Quest” series (“Dragon Warrior” in North America), the other one of the twin peaks of Japanese RPG titles, announced to become one in November, 2002. The news became a national controversy, because the home video game was expected to be the last remedy to Japan’s trade imbalance of software industry. According to the report published by Japan’s industry consortium, Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA), the top 30 titles in terms of the total shipment between 1983−2002 included 13 RPG titles released by both Square and Enix, second to Nintendo’s 14 titles of various genres (See table 1). Independent software firms had had powerful impacts upon Nintendo, which had the combination of Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) as a dominant platform and “Mario” as a killer content. In 1996, Nintendo’s hegemony in the platform market was rooted out by the re−alliances amongst software suppliers and almost dying PlayStation of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE).

RJ: 그렇다. 나는 세가의 열혈 팬이다. 그들과 8 년간 일했다. 세가의 게임이 좋고 이들의 모습, 느낌이 좋다. 이 게임에서 그들이 가진 엄청난 캐릭터와 IP 를 총동원했고 ‘Vurtua Tennis 3’ 엔진으로 이들을 한데 합쳤는데, 영국의 스모 디지털(Sumo Digital )에서 이번 작업을 담당했다. 이번 게임은 세가의 모든 것이 등장하는 버라이어티 쇼와 같은 것이다.
