Bir nechta real vaqtda namoyish etiladigan platformalarda tajriba o'tkazishda kechikishlar va texnik qiyinchiliklardan so'ng Square ishlab chiqarishni oldindan namoyish qilingan videoga o'tkazdi, bu esa katta imkoniyatlarni talab qildi CD-ROM formatini va shuning uchun Nintendo-ni PlayStation-ga jo'nating. Veteran Final Fantasy xodimlar, shu jumladan seriallar yaratuvchisi va prodyuseri qaytib keldi Xironobu Sakaguchi, direktor Yoshinori Kitase va bastakor Nobuo Uematsu.

Ning o'yini Final Fantasy VII asosan oldingi bilan taqqoslanadi Final Fantasy o'yinlar va Yaponiyaning rol o'ynash o'yinlari.^[1] O'yin uchta o'yin rejimiga ega: dunyo xaritasi, maydon va jangovar ekran.^[2][3]:15,20 Eng katta miqyosda o'yinchilar butun dunyoni o'rganadilar Final Fantasy VII 3D dunyo xaritasida.^[4] Dunyo xaritasida o'yinchi kirishi mumkin bo'lgan joylar, shu jumladan shaharlar, atrof-muhit va xarobalar tasvirlangan.^[5] Tabiiy to'siqlar - masalan, tog'lar, cho'llar va suv havzalari - ba'zi joylarga piyoda kirishni to'sib qo'yadi; o'yin davom etar ekan, o'yinchi ushbu to'siqlardan o'tishga yordam beradigan transport vositalarini oladi.^[3]:44 Chokobos xaritada ma'lum joylardan topish mumkin, va tutib olinsa, piyoda yoki transport vositasi bilan borish qiyin bo'lgan joylarga borish mumkin.^[3]:46 Dala rejimida pleyer dunyo xaritasida ko'rsatilgan maydonlarning to'liq hajmli versiyalari bo'yicha harakat qiladi.^[4] Ketma-ket birinchi marta ushbu rejim uch o'lchovli bo'shliq. Aktyor ushbu rejimda atrofni o'rganishi, belgilar bilan suhbatlashishi, hikoyani ilgari surishi va voqea o'yinlarini boshlashi mumkin.^[3]:15 Voqealar o'yinlari qisqa mini o'yinlar maxsus boshqaruv funktsiyalaridan foydalanadigan va ko'pincha hikoyaga bog'langan.^[3]:18 Dala holatida bo'lganida, o'yinchi do'konlarni va mehmonxonalarni ham topishi mumkin. Do'konlar Cloud va uning partiyasiga yordam beradigan narsalarni, masalan, qurol-yarog ', zirh va aksessuarlarni sotib olish va sotish imkoniyatini beradi. Agar belgilar mehmonxonada dam olsalar, ularning ochko va mana ball janglar paytida yuzaga kelgan har qanday anormallik bilan birga tiklanadi.^[3]:17

Bulut, Barret va Tifa ajdahoga qaragan jang manzarasi. Ushbu daqiqada o'yinchi Cloud bajarishi uchun buyruqni tanlashi kerak.

Dunyo xaritasida va dala rejimida tasodifiy vaqt oralig'ida va hikoyaning muayyan daqiqalarida o'yin jang ekraniga kiradi. Ushbu ekran o'yinchi belgilarini bir tomonga, dushmanlarni boshqa tomoniga joylashtiradi va belgilar almashinuvi bir tomon mag'lub bo'lguncha harakatlanadigan "Active Time Battle" (ATB) tizimini ishlatadi.^[1][2] Ikkala tomon tomonidan etkazilgan zarar (yoki davolanish) ekranda aniqlanadi. Belgilar jangda samaradorligini aniqlaydigan ko'plab statistik ma'lumotlarga ega; masalan, urish nuqtalari ular qancha zarar ko'rishi mumkinligini, sehr esa sehrlar bilan qancha zarar etkazishini aniqlaydi.

Final Fantasy VII shuningdek, chegarani buzish deb nomlangan kuchli, xarakterga xos buyruqlar mavjud bo'lib, ularni faqat maxsus o'lchov vositasi dushman hujumlari bilan zaryadlangandan keyin foydalanish mumkin. Hujumga uchraganidan so'ng, belgilar bir yoki bir nechta g'ayritabiiy "holatlar" bilan zararlanishi mumkin, masalan, zahar yoki falaj. Ushbu holatlar va ularning salbiy ta'siri maxsus narsalar yoki qobiliyatlar yordamida olib tashlanishi mumkin. Barcha dushmanlar mag'lub bo'lganda, jang tugaydi va o'yinchi pul, buyumlar va bilan mukofotlanishi mumkin tajriba nuqtalari. Agar o'yinchi mag'lub bo'lsa, demak O'yin tamom va o'yinni so'nggi saqlash nuqtasiga qaytarish kerak.^[3]:20–27

Belgilarni sozlashning asosiy usuli Final Fantasy VII, Materia yangi sehrli sehrlar, chaqirish uchun hayvonlar, buyruqlar, statistik yangilanishlar va boshqa imtiyozlar bilan ta'minlaydigan uskunalarga qo'shilishi mumkin.^[6] Materia o'zlarining tajriba nuqtalari tizimiga ega va har xil effektlarni yaratish uchun birlashtirilishi mumkin.^[3]:30–42

Sinopsis

O'rnatish va belgilar

Final Fantasy VII o'yinda "sayyora" deb nomlangan dunyoda sodir bo'ladi, garchi u orqaga qaytarilib "Gaia" deb nomlangan bo'lsa.^[7][8] "Lifestream" deb nomlangan sayyoramizning hayotiy kuchi - bu Sayyoradagi barcha narsalarga hayot beradigan ruhiy energiya oqimi.

Shinraning harakatlari Sayyorani zaiflashtirmoqda, uning mavjudligiga va butun hayotiga tahdid solmoqda.^[11] O'yin ichidagi muhim fraktsiyalarni o'z ichiga oladi KO'KLASH, sayyora tiklanishi uchun Shinraning qulashini qidirayotgan ekologik terroristik guruh;^[8] The Turklar, Shinra xavfsizlik kuchlarining yashirin bo'limi;^[12] SOLDIER, odamlarni Mako bilan takomillashtirish orqali yaratilgan elit Shinra jangovar kuchi;^[13] va sayyora va Lifestream bilan mustahkam aloqani saqlaydigan, yo'q bo'lib ketishga yaqin bo'lgan odam qabilasi Cetra.^[14]

Markaziy qahramon Bulutli kurash, o'zini sobiq 1-darajali SOLIDER deb da'vo qiladigan, yolg'onchi. Dastlab u AVALANCHE ning ikki a'zosi bilan ishlaydi: Barret Uolles, uning jasur, ammo otalik rahbari; va Tifa Lokxart, uyatchan, ammo tarbiyalanuvchi jang san'atkori va Buludning bolalikdagi do'sti. Safarda ular uchrashadilar Aerith Gainsborough, beparvo gul savdogari va omon qolgan oxirgi Cetra;^[14][15] Qizil XIII, sayyorani himoya qiladigan qabiladan to'rt kishilik aqlli;^[16] Cait Sith, a folbinlik tavba qilgan Shinra xodimi tomonidan boshqariladigan robot mushuk Rahatla;^[3][17] va Cid Highwind, kosmosda birinchi odam bo'lish orzusi amalga oshmagan uchuvchi.^[18] Guruh ham yollashi mumkin Yuffie Kisaragi, yosh ninja va mohir Materia o'g'ri; va Vinsent Valentin, sobiq turk va Shinra tajribalari qurboni.^[19] O'yinning asosiy antagonistlari Rufus Shinra, Prezident Shinraning o'g'li va keyinchalik Shinra korporatsiyasining rahbari;^[20] Sefirot, o'lik deb o'ylanganidan bir necha yil o'tib paydo bo'lgan sobiq SOLIDER;^[3] va Jenova, 2000 yil oldin Cetra tomonidan ozodlikdan mahrum qilingan g'ayritabiiy hayotiy shakl.^[21][22][23] Cloudning tarixidagi asosiy belgi Zack Fair, SOLDIER va Aerithning birinchi sevgisi a'zosi.^[24]

Uchastka

AVALANCHE Midgarda Shinra Mako reaktorini yo'q qildi; boshqa reaktorga hujum noto'g'ri bo'lib, Bulut shahar kambag'allariga tushadi. U erda u Aerit bilan uchrashadi va uni Shinradan himoya qiladi.^[25][26] Ayni paytda, Shinra AVALANCHE topadi va yuqori shaharning bir qismini qulab tushadi va AVALANCHE ning katta qismini quyida joylashgan axlat aholisi bilan birga o'ldiradi.^[27] Aerith ham qo'lga olindi; Cetra sifatida, u Shinraning fikricha, hayotga yaroqli energiya bilan to'lib toshgan deb hisoblagan "va'da qilingan er" ni ochib berishi mumkin.^[28][29] Bulut, Barret va Tifa qutqaruvchi Aerit; Midgardan qochish paytida ular Prezident Shinrani besh yil oldin o'lik deb taxmin qilingan Sefirot tomonidan o'ldirilganligini aniqladilar.^[30] Partiya Sefirotni Sayyora bo'ylab ta'qib qilmoqda, ularning safida hozirgi prezident Rufus bor.

Guruh o'z safari davomida Sefirot bilan uchrashishni boshlaydi, ular bulutni haqoratlab, Jenovaga xos yirtqich hayvonlarni orqasidan yuborganidan keyin doimiy ravishda paydo bo'lib, yo'qoladi. Sefirot uni Cetra ibodatxonasida topib, "Meteor" ni chaqirish uchun Qora Materiyadan foydalanishni niyat qilganligini, bu Planetni halokatli ta'sir bilan urib yuborishini aytdi. Sefirot Lifestream-ni o'ziga singdiradi, chunki u yarani davolashga harakat qiladi va xudoga o'xshash narsaga aylanadi.^[31] Partiya Qora Materiyani oladi, ammo Sefirot Cloudni taslim qilish uchun manipulyatsiya qiladi. Aerith Sefirotni to'xtatish uchun yolg'iz o'zi ketib, uni tashlab ketilgan Cetra shahriga olib boradi. Aeritning Sayyoraga yordam so'rab ibodat qilish paytida, Sefirot Bulutni uni o'ldirishga majburlamoqda; muvaffaqiyatsiz bo'lib, u qochib ketishdan va Qora Materiyani ortda qoldirmasdan oldin uni o'zi o'ldiradi.^[32] Keyin partiya Jenovaning ilgari o'ylaganidek Cetra emasligini bilib oladi. Aksincha, bu Shinra olimlari tomonidan o'nlab yillar oldin qoldiqlari topilgan dushmanlik uchun begona hayot shakli; Nibelxaymda Jenovaning hujayralari Sefirotni yaratish uchun ishlatilgan.^[21][32]

Shimoliy kraterda, partiya ular uchrashgan "sepirotalar" jinni Shinra olimi tomonidan yaratilgan Jenova klonlari ekanligini bilib oladi. Xojo. Jenovaning hujayralarini birlashtirish uchun o'z klonlarini o'ldirayotganida, haqiqiy Sephirotga qarshi turib, Cloud yana Qora Materiyani etkazib berishda manipulyatsiya qilinadi. Keyin Sefirot Bulutni Nibelxaym haqidagi xotiralarida Bulut o'rnida yana bir SOLDIERni ko'rsatib, bulutni Sefirotning klonidir deb taxmin qilmoqda.^[33] Sefirot Meteorni chaqiradi va kraterni muhrlaydi; Bulut Lifestreamga tushadi va partiyani Rufus egallaydi.

Shinradan qochib, partiya Bulni orol kasalxonasida katatonik holatdagi Mako zaharlanishidan topadi; Tifa uning qo'riqchisi bo'lib qoladi. Orolga Qurol deb nomlangan sayyora mudofaasi kuchlari hujum qilganda, ikkalasi Lifestreamga tushadi,^[34] bu erda Tifa Bulutga xotiralarini qayta tiklashga yordam beradi: Nibelxaymda bo'lganida uyatchang bola, Bulutni yosh Tifa tog'dan o'tib ketishda o'zini jarohatlaganida ayblashdi. Nibel. Kuchliroq bo'lishga qaror qilgan Bulut Midgarga SOLDIER safiga qo'shilish uchun jo'nab ketdi, ammo tashkilotga hech qachon qabul qilinmadi; uning esdaliklarida ASKIR uning do'sti Zak edi. Nibelxaymda Bulut Sefirotni ruhiy tanazzulga uchraganidan keyin hayratda qoldirdi va yaraladi, ammo Jenova Sefirotning hayotini saqlab qoldi. Xojo Cloud va Zack-da to'rt yil davomida tajriba o'tkazdi, ularni Jenovaning hujayralari va Mako bilan ukol qildi; ular qochib ketishdi, ammo oxir-oqibat Zak o'ldirildi. Ushbu hodisalarning birgalikdagi travması Cloudda identifikatsiya inqirozini keltirib chiqardi; u Zakning hikoyalari va o'zining xayollari atrofida yolg'on shaxsni yaratdi.^[32][35] Bulut o'tmishini qabul qiladi va Aeritning Sayyoraga qilgan ibodati muvaffaqiyatli o'tganini bilgan partiyaga qo'shiladi: Sayyora Meteor ta'sirini oldini olish uchun Muqaddasni chaqirishga urindi, ammo Sefirot Muqaddasni to'sib qo'ydi.

Shinra Meteorni yo'q qila olmaydi, ammo Rufus va boshqa xodimlarning hayotiga ziyon etkazadigan qurolni mag'lubiyatga uchratib, Shimoliy kraterni teshadi. Sefirotning biologik otasi ekanligi aniqlangan Xojoni o'ldirgandan so'ng,^[21] partiya Shimoliy kraterdagi ochilish orqali Sayyora yadrosiga tushadi va Jenovani ham, Sefirotni ham mag'lub etadi. Partiya qochib ketadi va Muqaddasni chaqirishadi, bu esa Meteorni Lifestream yordamida yo'q qiladi.^[36] Besh yuz yil o'tgach, Red XIII Midgar xarobalarini tomosha qilayotgan ikki bolasi bilan ko'rinib turibdi, ular hozirda sayyora tuzalib ketganini ko'rsatib turibdi.

Rivojlanish

Ishlab chiqaruvchi Xironobu Sakaguchi va rejissyor Yoshinori Kitase, birgalikda hikoya va o'yin tushunchalarini yaratishda yordam bergan Final Fantasy VII.

Dastlabki kontseptsiya uchun muzokaralar Final Fantasy VII 1994 yilda boshlangan Final Fantasy ishlab chiquvchi Kvadrat, tugagandan so'ng Final Fantasy VI. Oldingi qismda bo'lgani kabi, serial yaratuvchisi Xironobu Sakaguchi prodyuserlikdagi rolini pasaytirdi va boshqalarga rivojlanishda faolroq rolni taqdim etdi Yoshinori Kitase, direktorlaridan biri Final Fantasy VI. Keyingi qism a sifatida rejalashtirilgan edi 2 o'lchovli o'yin uchun Nintendo "s Super Nintendo ko'ngilochar tizimi (SNES). Dastlabki 2D prototipini yaratgandan so'ng, jamoa tugatishga yordam berish uchun rivojlanishni qoldirdi Chrono Trigger SNES uchun.^[37] Jamoa munozaralarni qayta boshladi Final Fantasy VII 1995 yilda.^[37][38]

Jamoa 2D strategiyasini davom ettirishni muhokama qildi, bu sanoatning yaqinlashib kelayotgan yo'nalishi ortidagi tubdan yangi rivojlanish paradigmasiga nisbatan xavfsiz va tezkor yo'l edi. 3D o'yin.^[37] Jamoa o'zlarining asosiy tanlovlari bo'lgan holda, yangi avlod texnik vositalarida 3D o'yinni yaratish uchun yanada xavfli variantni qo'lladilar patron asoslangan Nintendo 64 yoki CD-ROM asoslangan Sony O'yinlar markazi.^[37] Jamoa shuningdek Sega Saturn konsol va Microsoft Windows.^[39] Ularning qaroriga ikkita omil ta'sir qildi: juda muvaffaqiyatli texnologiya demosi asoslangan Final Fantasy VI yangisidan foydalanish Softimage 3D dasturiy ta'minot va allaqachon Square auditoriyasini cheklab qo'ygan kartridjlar narxining ko'tarilishi.^[37][40][41] Rejalashtirilganidan foydalanadigan Nintendo 64 versiyasi uchun testlar o'tkazildi 64DD floppi haydovchi periferik bo'lsa-da, prototipning o'zgaruvchan apparat xususiyatlari tufayli Nintendo hali 64DD ishlab chiqarish to'plamlarini ishlab chiqarmagan. Ushbu haqiqiy vaqtdagi versiya erta sinov paytida bekor qilindi, chunki Begemot monsterining 2000 ko'pburchagi Nintendo 64-ga haddan tashqari kuchlanish keltirdi va bu past darajaga olib keldi kvadrat tezligi.^[37] Taxminan o'ttizta 64DD diskni talab qilishi kerak edi 64 megabayt har biri yugurish uchun Final Fantasy VII kunning ma'lumotlarni siqish usullari bilan to'g'ri.^[42] Texnologiyalar holatiga duch kelgan va Nintendo 64 kartridjiga nisbatan CD-ROMni saqlash hajmining oshganidan hayratga tushgan Square, Final Fantasy VII va boshqa barcha rejalashtirilgan loyihalar, oldindan namoyish qilingan filmlar bilan PlayStation-da.^[37]

Vizual va audiodan farqli o'laroq, umumiy o'yin tizimi asosan o'zgarishsiz qoldi Final Fantasy V va VI, lekin o'yinchini boshqarishga o'rganib chiqilgan urg'u bilan.^[43] Dastlabki qaror janglarning o'zgaruvchan kamera burchaklarini namoyish qilishiga qaratilgan edi. Jang maydonlarida dala maydonlariga qaraganda poligonlarning soni past bo'lib, bu o'ziga xos xususiyatlarni yaratishni qiyinlashtirdi.^[40] Chaqiruvlar ketma-ketligi kinematik uslubga o'tishdan katta foyda ko'rdi, chunki jamoa 2 o'lchovli grafikalar yordamida ularning ko'lamini tasvirlashga qiynalgan edi.^[44] Sakaguchi prodyuser sifatida o'z rolini jang tizimini rivojlantirishga sarflagan.^[24] U Materia tizimiga avvalgisiga qaraganda ko'proq belgilarni moslashtirishni taklif qildi Final Fantasy o'yinlar. Janglar endi tug'ma qobiliyatlari va jangda rollari bo'lgan belgilar atrofida aylanmasdi, chunki Materiyani janglar o'rtasida qayta tuzish mumkin edi.^[40] Rassom Tetsuya Nomura dan kelgan Desperation Attack evolyutsiyasi sifatida Limit Break tizimini loyihalashtirib, o'yin o'ynashga hissa qo'shdi Final Fantasy VI. Limit Breaks o'yin jarayonida maqsadga xizmat qiladi, shu bilan birga jangda har bir belgi shaxsiyatini uyg'otadi.^[24][40]

Square ishlab chiqaruvchilari avvalgi loyihalaridagi ehtirosga asoslangan o'yinni rivojlantirish yondashuvini saqlab qolishdi, ammo hozirda kerakli o'yinni yaratish uchun resurslar va ambitsiyalar mavjud. Buning sababi shundaki, ular o'zlarining avvalgi tijorat yutuqlaridan katta kapitalga ega edilar, bu ular o'zlarining byudjetlariga bo'ysunmaslik va ishlashga emas, balki sifat va miqyosga e'tibor qaratishlari kerakligini anglatadi.^[37] Final Fantasy VII o'sha paytda taxmin qilingan eng qimmat videoo'yin loyihalaridan biri bo'lgan 40 million dollar (ga teng 64 million dollar).^[37][45][46] Yakuniy versiyani ishlab chiqish uchun bir yildan ko'proq vaqt davomida 100 dan 150 kishigacha xodimlar kerak bo'ldi. Video o'yinlarni ishlab chiqaruvchi jamoalar odatda atigi 20 kishidan iborat bo'lganligi sababli, o'yin shu paytgacha har qanday o'yinning eng katta ishlab chiquvchi jamoasi deb ta'riflangan.^[37][44] Rivojlanish guruhi ikkala maydonning Yaponiyadagi ofislari va uning Los-Anjelesdagi yangi Amerika ofisi o'rtasida bo'lindi; Amerika jamoasi asosan shahar sharoitida ishlagan.^[42]

Badiiy dizayn

Asosiy aktyorlarning reklama ishlari. Barcha asosiy belgilar tomonidan ishlab chiqilgan Tetsuya Nomura; Final Fantasy VII uning xarakterlar dizayneri sifatida birinchi roli edi.^[24][37]

O'yinning badiiy rahbari edi Yusuke Naora, ilgari dizayner sifatida ishlagan Final Fantasy VI. 3D formatiga o'tish bilan Naora rasmni qayta o'rganishi kerakligini tushundi, chunki 3D tasvirlar 2D ga qaraganda juda boshqacha yondashuvni talab qiladi. Loyihaning katta ko'lami va ko'lami bilan Naora butunlay o'yinning vizual dizayniga bag'ishlangan guruhga ega bo'ldi. Bo'limning vazifalariga illyustratsiya, 3D belgilarni modellashtirish, teksturalash, muhit yaratish, vizual effektlar va animatsiya kiradi.^[47] Keyinchalik Naora badiiy uslubini aniqladi Final Fantasy VII "qorong'u" va "g'alati" sifatida.^[48] Kanji belgisini o'z ichiga olgan Shinra logotipi shaxsan Naora tomonidan chizilgan.^[49] Reklama san'ati asarlari va logotiplar tomonidan yaratilgan Yoshitaka Amano, seriyali uyushmasi boshlanishiga qaytgan rassom.^[50] U avvalgi yozuvlarda taniqli rol o'ynagan bo'lsa-da, Amano buni bajara olmadi Final Fantasy VII, chet el ko'rgazmalaridagi majburiyatlar tufayli.^[8][50] Uning logotipi Meteor-ga asoslangan edi, lekin dastlab uni qanday qilib mos san'at asariga aylantirishni bilmagan edi. Nihoyat, u tasvirning bir nechta o'zgarishini yaratdi va xodimlarning afzalliklarini so'radi.^[51] Yashil rang Midgarda asosiy yorug'lik va Lifestream rangini anglatadi, ko'k esa hikoyada mavjud bo'lgan ekologik mavzularni aks ettiradi. Uning ranglanishi to'g'ridan-to'g'ri o'yin muhitining umumiy rangiga ta'sir ko'rsatdi.^[47]

Yana bir taniqli rassom Nomura edi. Sakaguchi o'zining shaxsiy g'oyalari bilan taassurot qoldirdi, ular shunchaki shaxsiy kompyuterda emas, balki qo'lda yozilgan va tasvirlangan, g'oyalari asosiy dizayner sifatida qabul qilingan.^[24] Nomura uni olib kelishda asosiy ssenariy tugallanmaganligini aytdi, ammo u "menimcha, avval senga qahramon va qahramon kerak" deb yurdi va u erdan dizaynlarni tafsilotlarni o'ylab topdi. Qahramon va qahramonni qilganidan so'ng, u qanday belgilarga ega bo'lish qiziq bo'lishi haqida o'ylab, rasm chizishni davom ettirdi va u dizaynlarni topshirganda [odamlarga] belgi tafsilotlarini aytib berdi o'ylab ko'ring yoki ularni alohida qog'ozga yozing ".^[52] Chibi sprite san'atini oldingi o'yinlardan o'tkazish mumkin emas edi, chunki bu yangi grafik yo'nalishga to'g'ri kelmaydi. Naora, yordamchi xarakterdagi dizayner va badiiy direktor rolida, har bir qahramonning tashqi qiyofasini ularning bajargan harakatlari ishonchli bo'lishi uchun o'zgartirishga yordam berdi. Bulut va Sefirotni loyihalashda Nomura ularning afsonaviy dushmanligini aks ettiruvchi raqobat haqidagi qarashlaridan ta'sirlangan. Miyamoto Musashi va Sasaki Kojiru, Cloud va Sephiroth mos ravishda Musashi va Kojiro. Sefirotning ko'rinishi "kakkoii"Yaponcha atama go'zallikni sovuqqonlik bilan birlashtirgan.^[40] Nomuraning bir nechta dizaynlari rivojlanish jarayonida sezilarli darajada rivojlandi. Bulutning tikilgan, orqa tomoni silliqsiz qora sochlardan yasalgan dizayni, ko'pburchak sonini kamaytirish va Sephirotning uzun, oqayotgan kumush sochlari bilan farq qilish uchun mo'ljallangan. Biroq, Nomura bunday erkalik muxlislarga yoqimsiz bo'lib qolishidan qo'rqdi, shuning uchun u bulutni tikanli, yorqin sariq sochlar zarbasi bilan qayta ishladi. Vinsentning mashg'uloti tadqiqotchidan detektivga, kimyogarga, nihoyat o'tmishi fojiali bo'lgan sobiq turkka aylandi.^[8][24]

Stsenariy

Sakaguchi yakuniy versiyadan ancha farq qiladigan dastlabki syujetni yozish uchun javobgar edi.^[53] Rejalashtirilgan SNES versiyasi uchun ushbu loyihada o'yin sozlamalari quyidagicha tasavvur qilingan Nyu-York shahri 1999 yilda. Yakuniy voqeaga o'xshab, asosiy belgilar Mako reaktorlarini yo'q qilishga urinayotgan tashkilotning bir qismi bo'lgan, ammo ularni Jou ismli issiq qonli detektiv ta'qib qilgan. Bosh qahramonlar oxir-oqibat shaharni portlatib yuborishadi. Ushbu bosqichda Lifestream kontseptsiyasining dastlabki versiyasi mavjud edi.^[37][41][53] Sakaguchining so'zlariga ko'ra, onasi shu payt vafot etgan Final Fantasy III rivojlanayotgan edi va hayotni mavzu sifatida tanlash unga o'tishni oqilona va tahliliy tarzda engishga yordam berdi.^[44] Square oxir-oqibat Nyu-York sozlamalarini ishlatdi Parazit Momo Havo (1998).^[41] Rejalashtirilgan kontseptsiya bekor qilingan bo'lsa-da, Final Fantasy VII hali ham avvalgi yozuvlardan keskin o'zgarishlarni amalga oshirdi va O'rta asr fantaziya elementlarini "noaniq futuristik" dunyo foydasiga tashladi.^[54]

Ning kesilishi Sefirot o'ldirish Aerith Gainsborough. Ushbu asosiy voqealar ketma-ketligi eng "hayratlanarli" deb nomlangan,^[55] "kinematik",^[56] va "janrni belgilaydigan"^[57] video o'yinlaridagi lahzalar.

Kitase mas'ul etib tayinlanganda Final Fantasy VII, u va Nomura barcha dastlabki fitnani qayta ishlashdi. Ssenariy muallifi Kazushige Nojima ishni tugatgandan so'ng jamoaga qo'shildi Bagamut laguni.^[24] Esa Final Fantasy VI bir xil ahamiyatga ega bo'lgan ko'plab o'ynaladigan personajlar ansambli ishtirok etdi, jamoa tez orada markaziy qahramonni ishlab chiqishga qaror qildi. Final Fantasy VII.^[40] Asosiy hikoyaning aksariyat qismini o'z ichiga olgan Sefirotni ta'qib qilish Nomura tomonidan taklif qilingan edi, chunki ilgari ketma-ketlikda shunga o'xshash narsa qilinmagan edi.^[24] Kitase va Nodima AVALANCHE va Shinrani qarama-qarshi tashkilotlar sifatida tasavvur qilishdi va Cloudning tarixini hamda Sefirot bilan munosabatlarini yaratdilar.^[53] Nojimaning syujetga qo'shgan eng katta hissasi orasida Cloudning xotiralari va bo'linish xarakteri bor edi; Bunga uning yangi yaratgan Zak obraziga oid yakuniy xulosa kiritilgan.^[24] Ekipaj Kitase-ga Sakaguchining asl Lifestream kontseptsiyasining xususiyatlarini o'zgartirishga yordam berdi.^[53]

O'yinning umumiy mavzusiga kelsak, Sakaguchi "hayotni" mavzuga aylantirish uchun etarli emas, siz tirik va o'layotganlarni tasvirlashingiz kerak. Har qanday holatda ham siz o'limni tasvirlashingiz kerak "dedi.^[58] Binobarin, Nomura qahramonni o'ldirishni taklif qildi.^[24][58] Aerit yagona qahramon edi, ammo ayol qahramonning o'limi bir soniyani talab qiladi; bu Tifaning yaratilishiga olib keldi.^[59] Ishlab chiquvchilar Aeritni o'ldirishga qaror qilishdi, chunki uning o'limi eng dahshatli va oqibatli bo'ladi.^[24][58] Kitase buni juda kutilmagan va kutilmagan tarzda tasvirlamoqchi bo'lib, "dramatik tuyg'u emas, balki katta bo'shliq", "haqiqat tuyg'ularini va Gollivud ".^[38] Sahna uchun ssenariy Nojima tomonidan yozilgan. Keyin Kitase va Nojima asosiy aktyorlarning aksariyati so'nggi jang oldidan o'lishini rejalashtirishgan, ammo Nomura bu g'oyaga veto qo'ygan, chunki u bu Aeritning o'limi ta'sirini susaytiradi deb o'ylagan.^[37] Rivojlanish jarayonida bir nechta belgilar munosabatlari va holatlari o'zgargan. Aerith Sephirotning singlisi bo'lishi kerak edi, bu uning sochlari dizayniga ta'sir ko'rsatdi. Keyin jamoa Sefirotni o'zining oldingi tarixini chuqurlashtirish uchun o'zining oldingi sevgisiga aylantirdi, ammo keyinchalik uni Zak bilan almashtirdi.^[52][60] Vinsent va Yuffi asosiy rivoyatda ishtirok etishlari kerak edi, ammo vaqt cheklovi tufayli ular deyarli kesilib, oxir-oqibat ixtiyoriy belgilarga tushib qolishdi.^[52]

Nojimaga stsenariy yozish va jamoaviy g'oyalarni yaxlit rivoyatda birlashtirish ayblandi, chunki Kitase o'zining avvalgi ishidan hayratda qoldi. sirga o'xshash Heracles no Eikō III: Kamigami yo'q Chinmoku, ga kirish Geraklning ulug'vorligi seriyali.^[24] Belgilarni yanada realistik qilish uchun Nojima ular vaqti-vaqti bilan tortishadigan va e'tiroz bildiradigan sahnalarni yozgan. Garchi bu voqea tezligini pasaytirishi muqarrar bo'lsa-da, u personajlarga chuqurlik qo'shdi. Grafik yaxshilanishlar hatto 3D belgilar modellarining reaktsiyalari va pozitsiyalari bilan nisbatan yumshoq muloqotlar qatorini yaxshilashga imkon berdi.^[44] Ovozli aktyorlik yuklanish vaqtining sezilarli bo'lishiga olib kelgan bo'lar edi, shuning uchun u qoldirildi^[61] Masato Kato bir nechta kech o'yin sahnalarini, jumladan Lifestream ketma-ketligi va Cloud va Tifa-ning so'nggi jang oldidan suhbati yozgan. Dastlab loyiha bilan aloqasi bo'lmagan Kato unchalik muhim bo'lmagan voqealarni sahnada namoyish etishga yordam berishga chaqirilgan. U tashqi ko'rinishsiz o'z sahnalarini o'z didiga ko'ra yozgan, keyinchalik pushaymon bo'lgan.^[62]

Grafika

SNES-dan yangi avlod konsollariga o'tish bilan, Final Fantasy VII foydalanish uchun ketma-ket birinchi loyiha bo'ldi 3D kompyuter grafikasi.^[38] Dastlab ishlab chiquvchilar 2-darajali shpritslarni 3D-fonda joylashtirishni o'ylashdi, ammo ko'pburchak modellar foydasiga pikselli san'atdan butunlay voz kechishga qaror qilishdi.^[63] Hikoyadan tashqari, Final Fantasy VI rivojlanish boshlanganda ko'plab tafsilotlar aniqlanmagan edi va aksariyat dizayn elementlari bu yo'lda to'plangan. Aksincha, bilan Final Fantasy VII, ishlab chiquvchilar boshidanoq bu "haqiqiy 3D o'yin" bo'lishini bilishgan, shuning uchun dastlabki rejalashtirish bosqichidan boshlab batafsil dizaynlar mavjud edi. Ssenariy ham yakunlandi va grafika uchun rasm tayyorlandi. Bu shuni anglatadiki, haqiqiy rivojlanish ishlari boshlanganda, o'yin uchun stsenariylar allaqachon mavjud edi.^[40] Ultrium-ROM-dan CD-ROMga o'tish ba'zi muammolarni keltirib chiqardi: etakchi dasturchi Ken Naritaning so'zlariga ko'ra, CD-ROM kirish tezligi pasayib, o'yin davomida ba'zi harakatlarni kechiktirdi, shuning uchun jamoa bu muammoni engib chiqishi kerak edi.^[44] O'yin vaqtlarini yashirish uchun ma'lum hiyla ishlatilgan, masalan, o'yinchilarni zeriktirmaslik uchun animatsiyalar.^[38] 3D grafikadan foydalanishga qaror qilinganida, xodimlar o'rtasida sprite asosidagi belgilar modellarini yoki 3D ko'pburchak modellarini ishlatish to'g'risida munozara bo'lib o'tdi. Spritlar xodimlar orasida ko'proq mashhur bo'lishiga qaramay, ko'pburchak modellar tanlangan, chunki ular hissiyotlarni yaxshiroq ifoda etishlari mumkin edi. Ushbu qarorga jamoaning ishlatilgan 3D belgilar modellariga ta'siri ta'sir ko'rsatdi Zulmatda yolg'iz. Sakaguchi maydonni navigatsiya qilish va voqealarni real vaqtda ko'rish uchun, hissiyotni yaxshiroq ifodalash uchun deformatsiyalangan modellardan foydalanishga qaror qildi, janglarda esa real proportsional modellardan foydalaniladi.^[60] Jamoa Silicon Graphics-ni sotib oldi Oniks superkompyuterlar va tegishli ish stantsiyalari, shu jumladan, unga qo'shiladigan dasturiy ta'minot Softimage 3D, PowerAnimator va N-dunyo taxminiy jami $ 21 mln. Jamoaning ko'plab a'zolari ilgari 3D ishlab chiqarish texnologiyasini ko'rmagan edilar.^[37]

Midgardagi ushbu sahna kabi oldindan taqdim etilgan fon, ishlab chiquvchilarga kameraning burchagini tanlash imkoniyatini yaratib, ko'proq kinematik tajriba taqdim etdi.

Oldindan taqdim qilingan fonlarda qoplanadigan 2 o'lchovli grafikadan 3D muhitga o'tish yanada aniqroq taqdimotga e'tiborni jalb qildi.^[38] Oldingi yozuvlarda belgilar va muhit o'lchamlari aniqlangan va pleyerda aylantirish istiqbollari mavjud. Bu o'zgargan Final Fantasy VII, bu muhitlar kameraning burchaklari bilan siljiydi va belgilar modeli o'lchamlari ularning atrofdagi o'rni va kameradan uzoqligiga qarab o'zgarib, o'lchovni beradi.^[40][44] To'g'ridan-to'g'ri Square-ning oldingi o'yinlariga qarama-qarshi bo'lgan ushbu yuqori kinematik hikoyalar uslubini tanlash filmlarga muxlislik qilgan va film va video o'yinlar rivoyati o'rtasidagi o'xshashliklarga qiziqqan Kitase bilan bog'liq.^[37] O'yin ichidagi voqealar paytida belgilar harakati rejalashtirish guruhidagi belgilar dizaynerlari tomonidan amalga oshirildi. Dizaynerlar odatda bunday animatsiyalar uchun harakat mutaxassisi bilan hamkorlik qilishadi, ammo ular o'zlarini harakatga o'rgatishadi, natijada har bir belgi harakatlari yaratuvchisiga qarab turlicha bo'ladi - ba'zi dizaynerlar bo'rttirma harakatlarni yoqtirar, boshqalari esa nafosatga intilishardi. Ko'p vaqt har bir personajning kundalik, odatiy ko'rsatuvlariga sarf qilingan. O'yinning jangovar animatsiyalari uchun harakat mutaxassislari jalb qilingan. Jamoa bilan ishlaydigan birinchi belgilar - Bulut va Barret.^[40] Haqiqiy vaqtdagi ba'zi effektlar, masalan, ochilish yaqinidagi portlash, kompyuter animatsiyasiga emas, balki qo'lda chizilgan.^[47]

Umumiy 3D taqdimotning asosiy ijodiy kuchi ushbu ketma-ketliklar uchun bosh nazoratchi Kazuyuki Xashimoto edi. Jamoa bortiga olib kelgan yangi texnologiyada tajribaga ega bo'lganligi sababli, u o'zining ijodiy ruhi bilan uyg'unlashganidek, bu lavozimni maydonda qabul qildi. Rivojlanishdagi eng muhim voqealardan biri bu real vaqtda grafikalar kompyuter tomonidan sinxronlashtirilishi edi to'liq harakatli video (FMV) ba'zi bir voqealar ketma-ketliklari, shu jumladan, bulutning real vaqtda modeli FMV orqali harakatlanadigan poezdga sakraydigan dastlabki ketma-ketliklar.^[37] Fonlar ikkita 2D grafik qatlamini bir-birining ustiga qo'yish va chuqurlikni idrok etish uchun simulyatsiya qilish uchun har birining harakat tezligini o'zgartirish orqali yaratilgan. Bu yangi texnika bo'lmasa-da, PlayStation-ning kuchayishi ushbu effektning yanada puxta versiyasini yaratishga imkon berdi.^[44] 3D grafika bilan bog'liq eng katta muammo bu ishlab chiqarish apparati va konsol o'rtasidagi katta xotira zaxirasi edi: dastlabki 3D texnologik demo umumiy xotirasi 400 megabaytdan ortiq bo'lgan mashinada ishlab chiqilgan bo'lsa, PlayStation-da faqat ikki megabayt tizim xotirasi bor edi va tekstura xotirasi uchun 500 kilobayt. Jamoa kerakli effektlarni saqlab, ma'lumotlarning hajmini qanday qisqartirishni tushunishi kerak edi. Bunga Sony-ning istamagan yordami yordam berdi, u Square ning to'g'ridan-to'g'ri ishtirokini standart API to'plami bilan cheklab qo'yishni umid qilgan edi, ammo ular oxir-oqibat to'xtab, jamoaning texnik xususiyatlariga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri kirishga ruxsat berishdi.^[37]

Final Fantasy VII ksenariylarning ikki turiga ega: oldindan taqdim etilgan fonlarda ko'pburchak modellarni aks ettiruvchi real vaqt rejimidagi ksenariylar va FMV ksenariylari.^[44] O'yin kompyuter tomonidan yaratilgan tasvirlar (CGI) FMVlar tomonidan ishlab chiqarilgan Vizual ishlar, Kompyuter grafikasi va FMV yaratishga ixtisoslashgan Square kompaniyasining o'sha paytdagi yangi sho''ba korxonasi. Visual Works 3D o'yin loyihasi uchun dastlabki kino kontseptsiyasini yaratdi.^[8] FMVlar Yaponiya va Shimoliy Amerikani qamrab olgan va o'yin va kino sohasidagi iste'dodlarni o'z ichiga olgan xalqaro guruh tomonidan yaratilgan; G'arbiy hissa qo'shganlar orasida ishlagan rassomlar va xodimlar bor edi Yulduzlar jangi filmlar seriyasi, Yura parki, Terminator 2: Qiyomat kuni va Haqiqiy yolg'on.^[64] Jamoa qo'shimcha ixtiyoriy CGI tarkibini yaratishga harakat qildi, bu Vinsent va Yuffining ixtiyoriy belgilarini oxiriga etkazadi. Bu o'yin uchun zarur bo'lgan disklar sonini yanada ko'paytirishi mumkin edi, chunki bu g'oya bekor qilindi.^[65] Vizual ishlarning kelajakdagi asosiy vakili Kazuyuki Ikumori umumiy fon dizayni bilan bir qatorda CGI kesimlarini yaratishda yordam berdi.^[66] CGI FMV ketma-ketligi taxminan 40 daqiqalik videoni namoyish etadi, bu faqat PlayStation-ning qo'shimcha xotirasi va grafik kuchi bilan mumkin. Ushbu yangilik FMV ketma-ketligi bilan taqqoslaganda o'yin ichidagi grafikalarning pastligi juda aniq emasligini ta'minlashning qo'shimcha qiyinchiliklarini keltirib chiqardi. Kitase o'yindagi muhitni iloji boricha batafsilroq qilish jarayonini "dahshatli vazifa" deb ta'rifladi.^[38]

Musiqa

Nobuo Uematsu bastalangan, tartibga solingan va butun soundtrackni ishlab chiqargan Final Fantasy VII

	"Bir qanotli farishta" Sefirotga qarshi so'nggi jangning bir qismida ishlatilgan "Bir qanotli farishta" mavzusi ko'pchilik tomonidan Uematsuning eng yaxshi asarlaridan biri sifatida tan olingan. Trekda yuqori sifatli raqamli ovozlardan foydalaniladi, bu seriya uchun birinchi.
Ushbu faylni o'ynatishda muammo bormi? Qarang ommaviy axborot vositalarida yordam.

Ning musiqiy partiyasi Final Fantasy VII tomonidan tuzilgan, tartibga solingan va ishlab chiqarilgan Nobuo Uematsu, avvalgi oltita uchun yagona bastakor bo'lib xizmat qilgan Final Fantasy o'yinlar. Dastlab Uematsu foydalanishni rejalashtirgan edi CD sifati foyda olish uchun vokal ijrolari bilan musiqa konsolning audio imkoniyatlari ammo natijada o'yin har bir maydon uchun yuklanish vaqtining ancha uzoq bo'lishiga olib keldi. Uematsu shundan keyin yuqori sifatli audio ishlashi bilan savdolashishga loyiq emas deb qaror qildi va o'rniga foydalanishni afzal ko'rdi MIDI -sozlik ichki tomonidan chiqariladigan tovushlarga o'xshaydi ovoz sekvenser, seriyadagi oldingi o'yinlar uchun qanday qilib uning musiqiy musiqasiga o'xshash Super NES amalga oshirildi.^[67][68] Super NES-da ishlash uchun atigi sakkizta ovozli kanal va PlayStation-da yigirma to'rtta kanal mavjud. Sakkiztasi ovoz effektlari uchun ajratilgan bo'lib, musiqa uchun o'n oltitasi mavjud.^[43] Uematsuning o'yin musiqasini yaratishdagi yondashuvi "o'yinni belgilash" uchun kuchli ohanglar chiqarishga emas, balki unga filmning musiqasi kabi qarash va sahnalarning kayfiyatini aks ettiruvchi musiqa yaratish edi, chunki u bu uslub juda kuchli bo'lar edi o'yinning yangi 3D tasvirlari bilan bir qatorda joylashtirilgan. Misol tariqasida u o'yinda sahna uchun mo'ljallangan trekni qaerda yaratgan Aerith Gainsborough "achinarli, lekin chiroyli" bo'lish uchun o'ldiriladi, aksincha ochiqchasiga hissiyot emas, balki juda kam hissiyotni keltirib chiqaradi.^[37] Uematsu qo'shimcha ravishda saundtrekda "realizm" tuyg'usi borligini aytdi va bu unga "haddan tashqari, aqldan ozgan musiqa" ni ishlatishga xalaqit berdi.^[69]

Uematsu o'yin uchun tuzgan birinchi asar ochilish mavzusi edi; o'yin direktori Yoshinori Kitase unga kinematikani ochdi va loyihani o'sha erda boshlashni iltimos qildi. Ushbu trek kompaniyada yaxshi kutib olindi va bu Uematsuga "bu juda yaxshi loyiha bo'lishini anglab etdi". Final Fantasy VII was the first game in the series to include a track with high-quality digitized vocals, "One-Winged Angel", which accompanies a section of the final battle of the game. The track has been called Uematsu's "most recognizable contribution" to the music of the Final Fantasy series, which Uematsu agrees with.^[37][70] Ilhomlangan Bahor marosimi tomonidan Igor Stravinskiy to make a more "classical" track, and by rock and roll music from the late 1960s and early 1970s to make an orchestral track with a "destructive impact", he spent two weeks composing short unconnected musical phrases, and then arranged them together into "One-Winged Angel", an approach he had never used before.^[37]

Music from the game has been released in several albums. Square released the main soundtrack album, Final Fantasy VII Original Soundtrack, on four Compact Discs through its DigiCube subsidiary in 1997. A cheklangan versiyada release was also produced, containing illustrated liner notes.^[68] The regular edition of the album reached third on the Japan Orikon charts, while the limited edition reached #19.^[71][72] Overall, the album had sold nearly 150,000 copies by January 2010.^[73] A single-disc album of selected tracks from the original soundtrack, along with three tartibga solingan pieces, titled Final Fantasy VII Reunion Tracks, was also released by DigiCube in 1997,^[74] reaching #20 on the Japan Oricon charts.^[75] Uchinchi albom, Piano Collections Final Fantasy VII, was released by DigiCube in 2003, and contains one disc of piano arrangements of tracks from the game. U tomonidan tartibga solingan Shiru Hamaguchi and performed by Seiji Honda, and reached #228 on the Oricon charts.^[76][77]

Chiqarish

Final Fantasy VII was announced in February 1996.^[78] Square president and chief executive officer Tomoyuki Takechi were fairly confident about Japanese players making the game a commercial success even on a new platform.^[37] A playable demo was included on a disc giveaway at the 1996 Tokio o'yinlari shousi, deb nomlangan Square's Preview Extra: Final Fantasy VII & Siggraph '95 Works. The disc also included the early test footage Square created using characters from Final Fantasy VI.^[37][79] The initial release date was at some point in 1996, but to properly realize their vision, Square postponed the release date almost a full year.^[54] Final Fantasy VII was released on January 31, 1997.^[80] It was published in Japan by Square.^[81] A re-release of the game based on its Western version, titled Final Fantasy VII International, was released on October 2, 1997.^[82][83] This improved Xalqaro version would kickstart the trend for Square to create an updated version for the Japanese release, based on the enhanced Western versions.^[84] The Xalqaro version was re-released as a physical disc as part of the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ultimate Box Japanese package on December 18, 2012.^[85]

While its success in Japan had been taken for granted by Square executives, North America and Europe were another matter, as up to that time the Japanese role-playing genre was still a niche market in Western territories. Sony, due to the PlayStation's struggles against Nintendo and Sega's home consoles, lobbied for the publishing rights in North America and Europe following Final Fantasy VII's transfer to PlayStation—to further persuade Square, Sony offered a lucrative royalties deal with profits potentially equaling those Square would get by self-publishing the game. Square accepted Sony's offer as Square itself lacked Western publishing experience. Square was uncertain about the game's success, as other JRPGs including Final Fantasy VI had met with poor sales outside Japan. To help with promoting the game overseas, Square dissolved their original Washington offices and hired new staff for fresh offices in Costa Mesa.^[37] It was first exhibited to the Western public at Electronic Entertainment Expo 1996 (E3).^[86]

To promote the game overseas, Square and Sony launched a widespread three-month advertising campaign in August 1997. Beginning with a television commercial by TBWA Chiat Day that ran alongside popular shows including Saturday Night Live, Simpsonlar, Konan O'Brayen bilan kech tun va Prime Time Sport, the campaign included numerous articles in both gaming and general interest magazines, advertisements in comics from publishers such as DC komikslari and Marvel, a special collaboration with Pepsi, media events, sample discs, and merchandise.^[87] According to estimations by Takechi, the total worldwide marketing budget came to 40 million dollar; $10 million had been spent in Japan, $10 million in Europe, and $20 million in North America.^[37] Oldingilaridan farqli o'laroq, Final Fantasy VII did not have its numeral adjusted to account for the lack of a Western release for Final Fantasy II, III va V — while only the fourth Final Fantasy released outside Japan, its Japanese title was retained.^[88] It was released in North America on September 7, 1997.^[89] The game was released in Europe on November 17, becoming the first Final Fantasy o'yin Evropada chiqarilishi kerak.^[90][91] The Western version included additional elements and alterations, such as streamlining of the menu and Materia system, reducing the health of enemies, new visual cues to help with navigation across the world map, and additional cutscenes relating to Cloud's past.^[84][92]

Kompyuter versiyasi

Square developed a PC port, to maximize the player base. Many Western consumers did not own a PlayStation, and Square's deal with Sony did not prohibit such a port. Having never released a PC game, Square treated it as a sales experiment. The port was handled by a team of 15 to 20 people, mostly from Costa Mesa and with help from Tokyo,^[37] after the console version was finished.^[93] The team needed to rewrite an estimated 80% of the game's code, due to the need to unify what had been a custom build for a console written by multiple staff members. Consequently, programmers faced problems such as having to unify the original PlayStation version's five different game engines, leading to delays.^[37] The PC version came with a license for Yamaha korporatsiyasi "s software synthesizer S-YXG70, uniformly delivering high-quality sequenced music to a chaotic hardware market. The conversion of the nearly 100 original musical pieces to XG format files was done by Yamaha.^[94]

To maximize chances of success, Square searched for a Western company to assist with releasing the PC version. Eidos Interactive, whose release of Qabrlar talon-taroj qiluvchisi had turned it into a publishing giant, agreed to market and publish the port.^[37] It was announced in December 1997, along with Eidos's exclusivity deal for North America and Europe at the time,^[95] though the port was rumored to happen as early as December 1996, even prior to the PlayStation version's release.^[96] To help the product stand out in stores, Eidos chose a trapezoidal shape for the cover and box. They agreed on a contract price of $1.8 million, making initial sales forecasts of 100,000 units based on that outlay.^[37] The PC version was released in North America and Europe on June 25, 1998; the port was not released in Japan.^[94] Within one month, sales of the port exceeded the initial forecasts.^[37] The PC version would end up providing the source code for subsequent ports.^[37]

Mahalliylashtirish

Mahalliylashtirish Final Fantasy VII was handled internally by Square. The English localization, led by Seth Luisi, was completed by a team of about fifty people who faced a variety of problems. According to Luisi, the biggest hurdle was making "the direct Japanese-to-English text translation read correctly in English. The sentence structure and grammar rules for the Japanese language is very different from English", making it difficult for the translation to read like native English without distorting the meaning.^[97] Michael Basket was the sole translator for the project, though he received the help of native Japanese speakers from the Tokyo office. The localization was taxing for the team due to their inexperience, lack of professional editors, and poor communication between the North American and Japanese offices. A result of this disconnect was the original localization of Aerith's name—which was intended as a conflation of "air" and "earth"—as "Aeris" due to a lack of communication between localization staff and the sifatni tekshirish jamoa.^[98]

The team also faced several technical issues due to programming practices which took little account of subsequent localization, such as dealing with a fixed-width font and having to insert kanji orqali language input keys to add special characters (for example, vowels with diakritiklar ) to keep the code working. Consequently, the text was still read as Japanese by the word processor, so the computer's spellcheck could not be used, and mistakes had to be caught manually. The code used obscure kanji to refer to main character's names, which made unintuitive for the translators to identify characters.^[98] Translated text usually takes up more space than the Japanese text, though still had to fit to the screen appropriately without overusing page breaks—for example, item names, which are written in kanji in Japanese language, could overflow message windows in translated text. To mitigate this problem, a proportional typeface was implemented into the source code to fit more text into the screen. Swear words were used frequently in the localization to help convey the original Japanese meaning, though most profanities were censored in a manner described by Square employee Richard Xeyvud as the "old comic book '@#$%!' -type replacement".^[84] The European release was described as being in a worse condition, as the translations into multiple European languages were outsourced by Sony to another company, further hindering communication. For the PC port, Square attempted to fix translation and grammar mistakes for the North American and European versions but did not have the time and budget to retranslate all the text.^[98] According to Honeywood, the success of Final Fantasy VII in the West encouraged Square to focus more on localization quality; on future games, Square hired additional translators and editors, while also streamlining communication between the development and localization teams.^[84]

Some months prior to the game's North American release, Sony publicly stated that it was considering cutting the scene at the Honey Bee Inn due to the salacious content, prompting numerous online petitions and letters of protest from RPG fans. Square subsequently stated that it would never allow Sony to localize the game in any way.^[99] In addition to translating the text, the North American localization team made tweaks to the gameplay, including reducing the enemy encounter rate, simplifying the Materia menu, and adding new boss fights.^[100]
