>Develop Dragon Quest XII for 8 years>Actually, we are starting over from scratch!RELEASE DRAGON QUEST XII VERSUSSQUARE ENIX YOU FUCKING PUSSIES
>>739700618That’s crazy
It's for the best let Final Fantasy dig its own grave with edgy real time slop there's no reason to follow its lead.
>>739700887they said dq12 was going to be turn based the idea that it would implement real time combat was speculation and assumption
>>739700887This. Turning the combat into FF7R or even something more mundane like from a Tales or Star Ocean game destroys a core part of the DQ charm. There is no reason every JRPG needs to drop turn based combat in a attempt to drawn in a new audience.
>>739700618"time gap between game X and game Y" doesn't equal to "development time for game Y".Earnest development for 12 didn't start until a few years ago.
Stay mad, acpedo
>>739702273Why are you lying
>>739700618Daily reminder that Horii has almost complete and total control over this franchise and Square has barely anything to do with it other than maybe approving the budget to make it.
>>739700618Do we know for sure they started over?
>>739702713https://youtu.be/QsYz_CVdowA?t=208
>>739702713yes
>>739700618A bunch of scenes from the Hero alone, would be interesting if he actually spoke
>>739701285>>739701390Just do DQX's turn based combat. It's literally the best DQ combat I've played.
>>739700618>Versus XII is realBARRYGET YOUR ASS OVER HEREBAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRY
>>739702713Anon i...
>>739705434But that would turn the begging gaijin away from our mmo :(
>>739700618i just want dragon quest builders 3 with coop
>>739706816Poor Yuji was blinking SoS.
>>739706816Can people that old really make a fun whimsical adventure?
It's a long running series so the title is set in stone, but it's no different from any other studio cancelling a game and starting another. "Rebooting development" means nothing when the game was never even shown.
>>739706816Is that Yosuke Saito? Goddamn he's getting old now. Babysitting Yoko Taro must be a tough job.
>>739707405People were wondering if it would come out on 2027 or 2028.It's been 9 years since XI.If they are starting from scratch, say they started last year, it will still be like 5 years before release.
>youll never have a grimdark game with Toriyama style>missing the perfect blend of 90s edgy themes with inmediatly recognizable character designs>instead go around wacking slimes and dreaming you are silly looking jar jar lizardFuck this gay Earth
what's the chance that DQ 12 was PS5 exclusive and they pivoted away from that?
>>739707773None, they released XI on the 3DS, PS4, PS5, Switch, Switch 2 and PC.
>>739702273Bro you're so full of shit, people don't just sit on their hands once a game ships, they immediately start working on the next project. They've been working on DQXII since XI shipped.
>>739707609It would look really bad if they announced a reboot in development only for that one to end up scrapped too, so they probably sat on this announcement for a long time. It still has Toriyama designs so the early stages of the reboot were probably happening in 2023.
>>739702713>Do we know for sure they started over?Yeah.
>>739708187Cowards
>>739708187Someone told them they need to attract the western modern audience asap. DQ is screwed.
>>739708507It's crazy how you see the exact same posts saying complete opposite things>they cancelled flames of fate because it was gonna appeal to western audience and they saw final fantasy flop> they cancelled flames of fate because someone told them they need to attract the western modern audience asap
Wow my death threats worked
>Restart development>What they showed looks like complete dogshitSurely the first prototype couldn't have been this bad?
Why is this coming to Xbox when FFXVI's Xbox port didn't even sell enough to cover the cost of porting itWhy is this coming to Xbox when Dragon Quest as a series is Japan centric and the Xbox series in that country hasn't even cracked 1 mil and is probably owned by people who just play call of dootWhy is PS5 the leading platform when 3ds was the top selling platform in spite of the game releasing at the end of life for the 3ds and the Switch being 3rd best selling platform in spite of it getting a late/botched portNone of their decision making makes any sense.
I had a feeling they were starting over from scratch after Yoshi P fucked up with XVI. Not a fan of the 3d models. Feels like they're still after the western audience. How are the nips reacting to this?
>>739710631japs are forever bootlickers, they'll love anything
>>739707659Closet you're gonna get is literal Dragon Ball fanfiction by Ithe Fr*nch or maybe a licensed Bastard!! RPG in vein of DQ
>>739710631why is this narrative being repeated over and over today when the FF series has been a western oriented series vs DQ being purposely an eastern series?Why would FF influence a series that has been extemely successful in Japan for decades.
>>739700618>VersusIt's more like Metroid Prime 4 since they literally just showed a logo previouslyAnd the new title contains "Beyond"Versus showed a lot of shit before it got turned into Bros on the Road
>>739708507True>>739708930Look at the fucking main character design, retard.
>>739710631It 100% happened due to Toriyama dying.
>>739702713The creator himself said it and apologized to fans for ever wanting to go in that direction to begin with
>>739714937Then he went and shit out this fucking retarded zoomer design for the hero? When is he going to change this and apologize?
>>739707773100% guaranteed, the tells were all there
>>739708507It's the literal opposite, seethe harder
>>739710408>ps5 the leading platformLol. It's so cute to see you human refuse being this in denial about what you were told and shown today
>>739701390Sure but you can just do something like trails turn-based combat that's more strategic than standard DQ combat.
>>739708187>we faced a lot of hurdles-basic bitch story that's probably not that good-reuse enemy assets from 11-keep same combat from previous games-we just have to make some towns or something and maybe some babymode dungeonsLegit what the fuck makes them take so long with DQ? We've got 7remake, XVI, and Rebirth since DQXI
>>739702713>Raughs
>>739716758Even if they wish to make these larger or more novel games that demand more time and work put into them. It shocks me that they don't make more "basic" and tested games alongside said development. Then we could still get a game every 3 years or something while still getting that bigger game every 6 or 9 years.
