author:Xiao Su said the game

Every day a big talk, the period has a wonderful, hello, I am your familiar Xiao Su. For many veteran players, the "humanoid divine beast" is not only a powerful attribute, a special shape design style and a classic name, but also has endless feelings. However, friends who know the game also know that in recent years, due to some reasons, some humanoid divine beasts have been forced to change their names.

Of course, many players also know about the renaming of the humanoid divine beast, but some divine beasts have not been affected, and some of them have even been modified twice, why did the development team take so much trouble for the name problem? This article Xiao Su will talk with everyone, not much to say, and then go directly to the main topic ~

The embarrassment of the 2 humanoid divine beasts in the west, "Zixia" and "Qingxia" have been renamed several times due to copyright

"Purple Xia Fairy" you should all know it, this is the original "Journey to the West 2" two-year mission to put out of print summoning beasts, now has been renamed "Daiyun Fairy", but few people pay attention, in the past few years it also had another name - "Purple Fairy". That is to say, from the original "Zixia" to the current "Daiyun" is not directly changed. As for the reason, although the official does not have any explanation, friends who know the background of the game should know that copyright issues are the ultimate reason. After the game became popular by relying on the star master movie of the same name, it seems that the official and the big talk westward journey did not continue to negotiate, so that it could only change the name.

Also affected by this is the familiar "Qingxia", now called "Lady Xuandai", who has the same experience as her sister, and once had an official name - "Qingyi Fairy" for a while. Why these two names that have not been used for a long time have not been renewed, Xiao Su personally speculates that there should be two possibilities:

(1) "Qingxia, Zixia" and "Qingyi, Ziyi" are almost the same in the literal sense, to put it bluntly, a little bit of deliberate rubbing the heat of others. Since you are not willing to spend money to buy a license, this practice is somewhat on the table, coupled with the fact that it almost overlaps with the story background of the movie of the same name, it is not difficult to see the intention of the development team, and as a copyright owner, people will naturally not allow this.

(2), "Journey to the West 3" wants to try to get rid of the shackles of the movie of the same name, to create their own IP, rather than rubbing the heat, it is better to create a new name, and this can still leave a large amount of money, why not enjoy it? What's more, relying on the film story has become popular throughout the country, and the "wings hardened" in the later period will naturally not be willingly treated as a "shadow".

Some players will ask, so why have the names of "Bull Demon King", "Dragon Prince", and "Jinghe Dragon King" not been changed? The reason is also very simple, because their "prototype" is from "Journey to the West" rather than "Journey to the West", and naturally there is no so-called copyright problem. To be honest, in recent years, the operation of the development team has been incomprehensible, and it is better to spend a lot of money to ask those unrelated stars to do endorsements, rather than spend copyright to create some feelings for players. Of course, Xiao Su does not understand the reasons for this, and perhaps people have their own considerations

Well, let's talk about the topic of this issue first. Sharing the player story and dissecting the version of the gameplay, I am Xiao Su, an old player who has focused on the big talk westward journey for many years. If you want to know more about the game and how to play, remember to pay attention to the wave, there is definitely something you are interested in here.
