....where is it?
in the dragon
>>683704017They need to make sure it's actionslop to gather the Square Enix cult fanbase.
I've never played a bad DQ game. That said, their lack of mention/info/presentation of what is coming is concerning. But at the same time S-E are utter shit at developing beyond the speed of a retarded turtle.
>>683704017>toriyama and sugiyama dead>investors want it to be edgy actionshit (because that worked so well for FF16 right?)it's over DQbros, we had a good run
>>683704979>>investors want it to be edgyto be fair DQ has always had a little edge. Especially 11.
>>683704979>he thinks Squeenix controls Dragon Quest
>>683704017Getting ((((corrected)))) by SE execs as we speak.
>>683704751I still can’t believe the announcement for DQ3 HD2D took so long, it’s almost as if they started right after making the original teaser. Anyway, I honestly think 12 DQs are enough, especially with Sugiyama dead and Horii being very old, I’d be just as happy if they remade DQ8 and 9 with modern graphics and called it a day.
>>683704751>>683705457They probably announced too early but DQ has never been a series where they tease out lots of info over time. You assume another one is coming, there’s usually some announcement of it being worked on, then you get an event where they show some footage and the character. After that it’s one or two trailers at big events with a release date and a big marketing push a couple months out from release.
>>683705276???
>>683708980SE owns publishing rights, Horii, Sugiyama estate and Toriyama estate own the IP itself jointly. It’s not public how the split works but it means that SE can’t unilaterally decide anything regarding DQ. Also why Horii sugiyama and Toriyama made lots of money off DQ.
>>683704017>DQ9, 10, and 11 all showed off gameplay in some form at or around the time of their respective announcements>three years since DQ12 announcement and not even a single screenshotIn development hell, most likely. DQ has been a poorly managed mess for the past several years now if the state of Treasures, Monsters 3, and waiting 3 years to show off gameplay for the paltry DQ3 HD2D remake is anything to go by.
>>683710352Didn't Yuji Horii come out and say "development has been challenging, prease understand" a few months ago? I imagine losing Sugiyama and Toriyama has weighed heavily on him.
Hopefully they're returning the combat to turn-based after backlash and the failure of FF16.
>>683704017Square-Enix is still coping the fact that they won't be able to release this exclusively to PS5 and western-focused and still make a success from it.
>>683710352It was just a dry announcement for the anniversary.At the time, they most likely haven't even started working on it yet.>>683710486It's doing fine.
