11.. Arts and Entertainment in Japan

Japanese modern arts and entertainment, I think that should be video games!

Some Japanese game companies have made great video games and these games have been played all over the world.

I want to write about the "Final Fantasy"series as an example.














This is a promotion video of the latest work. I choose this game series for today's theme because Japanese game's graphics have a certain prestige in the game industry and the Final Fantasy is very famous both for the graphics and for the stories.

The stories are a little complicated.

I read on the internet that Square-enix (the company that makes this game) meant the stories to be made into movies from the very beginning. Such movie-oriented scenario made a big hit.

The best seller (http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy) of Final Fantasy in Japan is the FFⅦ. It was the first 3Dwork of Final Fantasy series, and the graphics quality of FFⅦ impressed the world and boosted sales. This innovation gave a new meaning to Japanese entertainment and modern arts.
