Tokyo Sound

On the screen, two scribbled human figures were wrestling with each other.

"A brat like you who only knows how to play games! How dare you come and hold me back...Go to hell!"

In the end, the protagonist grabbed the villain's hair with his left hand and slammed his head against the door of the van. The aluminum body of the car dented with a heavy sound.

The boy raised the disarmed knife with all his strength towards the enemy's throat.

"Guwu, ah-ah-ah-ah--"

The villain stickman who was about to be punished by justice suddenly rolled his eyes and his body collapsed like mud.

The man's exquisite and moving cry also came to an abrupt end.

His part is over.

The subsequent plot is unremarkable. The young man overcomes all obstacles and stumbles to the ward, finally hugging and kissing his beloved for the first time in the real world.

……

The collection is finished.

"The dubbing work for the last two episodes of Sword Sanctuary has been completed. Thank you all for your hard work!" Sound director Iwao Miwa stood up from her seat as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders and announced loudly.

The voice actors in the dubbing room also applauded and thanked each other. The main character of Kirito was naturally surrounded by everyone and asked to share his thoughts and feelings.

"We've come this far in the blink of an eye. I feel like Kirito's story has just begun. Well, I don't know how to describe it. It really feels like saying goodbye to a good friend. I'm reluctant and sad." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's eyes were red, and he tried his best to restrain his excitement. "I received help from many people on the set. They are all very kind people. I'm very happy that we can come to the end together like this. I hope this work can bring joy to more people..."

"Tgtg's speech is getting better and better now." The female lead, Haruka Tomatsu, stepped forward and gave her partner a big hug. The latter's tactics were rigid, like a duck with its throat strangled by fate.

"Everyone exploded in the last episode."

"Sugo's performance was perfect, and the screams were so brilliant."

"Your true voice is clear, but it can make others feel disgusted and unhappy. I didn't expect that you, as a beautiful person, have such a unique side. Your acting range has been broadened."

"Haha, it's just a death cry, nothing else, just familiarity. I also read Hong Kong comics in my spare time, and there is no shortage of such plots of stealing love. Over time, I have also gained many special insights. Sure enough, art comes from life!"

Master Yin had a great time today, and he was very modest in the face of everyone's praise. He pointed to the extra camera next to him that had always attracted attention.

"Why has this machine been here all along? It wasn't here before?"

"Oh, that's a new one this time. It's mainly used to shoot the footage of the voice actors during recording. It will be used for subsequent publicity and interviews." Iwaro Miwa just happened to walk over from the control room.

"Filming the whole process?" Yin Ze was stunned.

"Of course, we have to edit it anyway, so there's no such thing as too much material." Iwaro Miwa said, "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

"……Row."

"We'll hold a wrap party tonight, and all expenses will be paid for by Director Ito! Everyone, please feel free to say so!" Iwao Miwa announced excitedly.

Naturally, everyone applauded and started discussing where to eat that would turn the supervisor into snow-white ash.

"Boy, you definitely can't run away today. Listen to my advice and go to the convenience store downstairs to buy a box of milk to add a layer of insurance for your stomach." Iwaro Miwa held Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's shoulder, leaned over, and whispered devilishly.

"My requirements are very low. I just hope that there won't be any small games and that everyone can fight fairly, one cup at a time." Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's expression was serious.

"Ha, what are you talking about, young man? Almost all the voice actors will be there soon, how can we just eat and drink? Of course, we have to promote relationships. It's rare for us to talk during work hours, so we have to improve our connections this time." Iwaro Miwa said, "It's not a bad thing to get to know a few more friends in the same industry. Besides, you have spoken up for the team before, and everyone hasn't formally expressed their gratitude yet."

Matsuoka Yoshitsugu took a look at the film set where there were more women than men and felt a little hesitant.

"Man, why are you so shy? How can you achieve anything like this?" Iwaro Miwa saw this and said earnestly, "You played Kirito so vividly, why aren't you influenced by Kirito? Look at the actor who plays Sugo over there. Although he huddles in a corner like you during breaks, he can also chat and laugh with the production staff and female voice actors. You should learn from him."

Yes, Xiaobailong from IM Club will also go to the cocktail party later. With a power player by his side, it’s a sure thing.

At this time, the Tauren Chieftain was chatting and laughing with the new generation of power in Daze.

"We are discussing what to eat, do you have any suggestions?" asked Hidaka Rina. She and her younger senior just announced their disbandment in a live broadcast not long ago, but they met at the next set the next time. Today she was just here to join in the fun.

"But I'm not going later." Yin Ze spread his hands.

"Why? Even though you only play small roles, you are our permanent supporting actor." Hidaka Rina asked puzzled.

"I have another appointment." Yin Zejing casually rolled up the script into a book stick and put it in his back pocket to finish packing.

"Oh?" The girl raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you have another date?"

"Hey, today is also the day when another world is born. I must go check it out."

The man snapped his fingers handsomely and walked away impatiently. His back looked as elegant as a swordsman heading to another country.

It's a pity that a certain protagonist will have to fight alone.

……

AQUARE ENIX, third development division.

Business, operations, production teams, almost all the relevant personnel put down their work today and crowded here. Everyone looked tired, but their eyes were burning with fire, shining brightly.

Tomoki Yoshida, the chief director and producer, sat at his workstation with his hands clasped on his forehead, his head down, taking a deep breath, as devoutly as if he was praying.

After a long time, he stood up resolutely and walked towards where the crowd was.

It's like waiting for judgment. After so many years, the sword of Damocles hanging over your head is finally about to fall.

The bosses of each production process are all leaders in the industry and the people who set the standards, but at this moment, no one was not nervous. There was even a fat guy who used up a pack of tissues just to wipe his sweat.

"We have done our best. The rest is up to fate." The leader of the 2D art team, Yoshimoto Mihiko, patted Yoshida Tomoki on the shoulder and handed him a bottle of ice-cold beer.

"To have come this far and to have persisted till here is already a success. No matter what, this will be the most unforgettable battle in our careers. As for the ending, let the players around the world decide." Music Director, Masaharu Souma rubbed his big dark circles and half-jokingly said, "If nothing else, at least after this day, I can sleep in."

"Success or failure depends on this hard effort." The outdoor military husband [Note: refers to the indoor Junfu, the global community operation producer of Final Fantasy 14, who often appears as a host in various live broadcast conferences and offline activities of the game] opened a can of beer and took a sip.

"Where is the president?" Yoshida Tomoki looked around. At this critical moment, he was still able to keep his composure, worthy of being a boss.

"He hid in the office and didn't dare to come over." One of the story editors, Natsuko Orikawa, said embarrassedly, "I wanted to call him, but the door was locked in advance."

"...If I could, I'd also like to be an ostrich." Yoshida Tomoki sighed, "Okay, how are your preparations going?"

"Everything is ready. The server is still running. We are just waiting for the scarlet moon to descend upon the earth."

"What's the situation in the game now?"

"Just take a look."

Yoshimoto Mihiko dragged the laptop straight over.

in the screen.

The adventurer wearing leather and carrying a mottled longbow was standing on the mountain. The sea of ​​clouds in the distance was boiling, as if it had been ignited and turned into a red. Thunder and lightning intersected, the storm roared, and the scarlet shadow behind the flaming clouds revealed only the huge shadow of destruction.

The city walls were burned black, the vast forests lost their lives and turned into a continuous wasteland, the springs were filled with blood, the monsters gathered in groups to attack the last line of defense, all the towns were ringing the bells of doom, the sad songs were echoing, and the birds were fleeing in panic.

The remaining warriors were still resisting. The heavily armored guardians fell and died one after another. The archers shot their last arrows, and the magic power of the mages was exhausted. The surging beasts that had lost their minds stepped over the bodies of these people and continued to charge. Even so, there were still people in the regional channel who kept talking and encouraging others not to give up.

"Some people are treating this as a special event," Yoshimoto said. "Everyone is calling on their friends to protect this continent, but the monsters they kill are constantly resurrected by programmers. To them, we are like the devil who destroys the world."

But it is your simple persistence and love that allow us to get here.

Just as people were immersed in this disaster in the fantasy world.

Someone finally arrived.

"Did I catch up? Did I catch up? You wouldn't have destroyed the continent, would you?!" The way Master Yin raised his hands and ran away looked like an unlucky office worker who couldn't squeeze into the bus and was chasing the exhaust gas.

"The leader of the outsourcing team has finally arrived." A colleague from the art team joked.

"Hahaha, he's the only one in this team. He's both a team member and the team leader, right?"

"Wow, this is the Super Worker who delivers 120 man-days a month? Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary! It's a pity that his butt is not locked in his workstation."

"Am I here at the wrong time?" Master Yin came over.

"No, you're here just in time." Yoshida Tomoki seemed to have made up his mind. He surrounded all his companions standing here and said in a deep voice, "It's time to clear away the ashes of the past. Let's start and untie Bahamut's restraints!"

……

Tsuchiya Hongliang sat in front of the computer as usual, the keyboard still making clacking sounds.

But today is not the time to write an article, nor is it to discuss the world situation with various heroes in the group.

The expensive and spacious monitor shows a conservative and devastated world. The swordsman controlled by Liang was once again overwhelmed by the tide of beasts. He tried in vain to revive under the crystal of the main city, but was immediately whipped to death by a passing elite demon. The once bustling commercial street was deserted, the shops were empty, flames were rising, only monsters were walking around, and NPCs were being pounced on and bitten. The bard stood high on the bell tower and played desperate poems.

A Liang gave up. He took off his headphones, exited the rescue team's voice chat, and looked at the black and white screen and the burning sky.

Final Fantasy 14 has been regarded as a shame for the series since its release. After the producer was replaced, the situation of the game improved for a while, and a steady stream of patches barely protected this huge sailing ship from being overturned and broken apart by the storm.

But this time it seems to have failed again.

Many days ago, an ominous red star began to flash in the sky in the game, and it was getting closer and closer. In the end, players could even vaguely see complex patterns on it.

Then came the invasion of the imperial army and the rampage of the monsters. In just a few days, the originally peaceful and harmonious world fell into a vortex of destruction. There was basically no "safe zone" in the game. The enemy's malice was everywhere, and it was almost impossible to hunt and gather normally. There were battles everywhere.

The official response to this extremely bizarre situation has always been ambiguous, and players in the community have spontaneously organized teams to fight the disaster. In this game that has been criticized by various media, they are the only remaining guardians.

But it was clear that no one could stop this disaster. The battle was so fierce that all the repairmen in the commercial street were gone. Liang looked at the equipment in the equipment column with all the durability red, and he decided to lie down.

I don’t know what’s going on this time.

Server crashed?

Retaliation for discord between the Third Development Division and the company?

A simple active numerical black hole accident?

In any case, the 14th sequel to this legendary series seems to be finally going to sleep.

As a well-known freelance ACG writer, Tsuchiya Hiroaki is already thinking about how to write about this incident. This operation is an unprecedented disaster. To be honest, as a game enthusiast, he is still a little sad to see such a tragic situation.

The black and white picture of death became darker and darker, the sound of the game, the sad ballads were all fading away. The screen fell into endless darkness. [Note: This is the ending of Final Fantasy 14 version 1.0, and it is also the most classic "Moon Fall" event in the history of this game]

Aliang was not surprised. He pulled out a chocolate bar from the table, pinched it between his two fingers with an air of sophistication, and held it in his mouth like an entrepreneur smoking a cigar.

It was finally cut off. Is it time for server maintenance? How can we fix it? Should we roll back the data or something else?

a long time.

In the darkness, a cold and quiet voice responded.

——"It's not over yet."

Tsuchiya Hongliang suddenly trembled all over.

Why does this voice sound so familiar...?

A Liang quickly recovered from his relaxed state to that of a top player, and he put on his headphones in doubt.

In the darkness, accompanied by the sound of burning firewood, the low hum of a heavy epic was heard, marking the beginning of the war.

The confused people helplessly looked up at the blazing meteors that streaked across the haze-covered sky. The old phantom dragon and the huge war machine fought in the sky and finally fell into the lake together. Steam hummed, high-temperature flames lit up the plains, and the remaining legions collided with each other, splashing the sweet smell of blood.

That's all they did, that's the fight they organized themselves into.

In the melee, the illusionist's healing light flashed, and the young adventurer who was half-kneeling on the ground had the strength to stand up again. He was covered in dust and raised his head. His blue eyes were very clear and contained determination.

"Thank you." The adventurer struggled to his feet, and only had time to say these words to his companions before he roared again and rushed into the ruthless battlefield.

Tsuchiya Hongliang, who was listening with headphones on, almost screamed out.

He definitely had no right to misunderstand this voice; it was that man's.

Against the backdrop of the mournful female aria, the adventurer's battle cry is extremely stirring!

At the most intense moment of the war, the red moon, which had always been full of mystery, finally descended. Its complex patterns were lit up, and with an earth-shaking roar, the huge shadow broke through the restraints entangled on its surface and spread its wings completely.

Lava-like flames spread from its body, and all the soldiers and adventurers fighting on the plain were engulfed by the natural disaster.

In the darkness, it seemed as if a blazing sun was born!

There was no emotion in its narrow eyes, as its strong dragon body galloped across the earth. The pressure crushed everything in an instant. The invincible Dragon God hovered in the air and looked down at all living beings. It vented its anger and violence wantonly, and even the seal of the Twelve Gods would be shattered by its power.

Endless scorching power is gathering. In the video, the Dragon God is chanting poems of extinction, and in the background music, the female singer is screaming her heart out.

Everything points to the word "end".

At the very end, rays of azure light symbolizing hope rose up and penetrated the sky and the earth.

The young adventurer was among them. He tried to turn his head, but could only see warm light.

The pain, wounds, the whispers of the dead, and the roar of the dragon were all diluted and faded away by the light.

……

A green fallen leaf gently fell into the palm of the adventurer.

He raised his head, and the bright sunlight shone through the lush forest, shining on his clean and handsome face. The chocobo nestled beside him, tilting its head in a simple and adorable manner, and then gently rubbing its master's chest.
