Dragon Quest and Metaphor: ReFantazio Creators Discuss Silent Protagonists in Modern RPGs

沉默主角在现代RPG中的挑战:两位RPG大师的对话

Square Enix的《勇者斗恶龙》系列制作人堀井雄二和Atlus即将推出的RPG《Metaphor: ReFantazio》的导演桥野桂,就现代游戏技术进步和游戏开发环境变化的大背景下,沉默主角在游戏中的运用展开了讨论。这段对话摘录自最近出版的《Metaphor: ReFantazio Atlas品牌35周年纪念版》小册子。两位RPG制作人探讨了该类型游戏中叙事风格的方方面面,包括《勇者斗恶龙》等系列在游戏画面日益逼真化时面临的挑战。

《勇者斗恶龙》系列的核心元素之一便是其沉默主角,或者如堀井雄二所言,“象征性主角”。沉默主角让玩家能够将自身的情感和反应投射到主要角色身上,从而提升沉浸感。这些沉默角色通常充当玩家的替身,主要通过对话选项而非语音来与游戏世界互动。

堀井雄二解释说,由于早期游戏的画面较为简单,无法展现细致的角色表情或动画,因此使用沉默主角更为容易且合理。“随着游戏画面越来越逼真,如果主角只是站在那里,就会显得像个傻瓜,”堀井雄二笑着评论道。

堀井雄二提到他最初的志向是成为漫画家,并表示他对讲故事的热爱和对电脑的着迷促使他进入游戏行业。《勇者斗恶龙》最终源于堀井雄二的热情,以及游戏通过与游戏Boss互动来推进故事的设定。“《勇者斗恶龙》基本上是由与城镇居民的对话构成,很少有叙述性的内容。故事是通过对话创造出来的。这就是它的乐趣所在,”他解释道。

堀井雄二承认,在现代游戏中保持这种做法面临着挑战,因为逼真的画面会让缺乏反应的主角显得格格不入。在《勇者斗恶龙》的早期,红白机时代的简约画面意味着玩家可以很容易地想象自己的情感和反应来填补沉默主角留下的空白。然而,随着游戏画面和音效以及其他因素变得越来越细致,堀井雄二承认,沉默主角越来越难以表现。

“这就是为什么,随着游戏变得越来越逼真,《勇者斗恶龙》中主角的类型也越来越难以表现。这在未来也将是一个挑战,”这位制作人总结道。

《勇者斗恶龙》是少数几个仍在使用沉默主角的主要RPG系列之一,除了发出一些反应性的声音外,主角在整个游戏中都保持沉默。另一方面,像《女神异闻录》这样的其他RPG系列,自《女神异闻录3》以来,就在战斗和过场动画中为主角加入了配音。与此同时,桥野桂即将推出的游戏《Metaphor: ReFantazio》将拥有一个完全配音的主角。

当《勇者斗恶龙》的制作人思考沉默主角在现代游戏中受限的情感表达能力时,桥野桂称赞了堀井雄二为游戏提供的独特且情感共鸣的体验。“我认为《勇者斗恶龙》在思考玩家在特定情况下会有什么感受方面投入了大量的精力,”桥野桂对堀井雄二说,“即使是与普通的城镇居民打交道也是如此。我觉得游戏是一直以玩家为中心创作的,思考着当有人说出某些话时会产生什么情绪。”
