Because the series is censored to shit. Remake of the older games? Censored. New entry to the series? Censored.

Without their skimpy outfits and Puff-Puff memes, they're the most barebones "Four Niggas in a Row + others work together to defeat the Demon Lord and save the world." Style JRPGs ever.

A shame, really. Toriyama put this series on the map.

>>742426142
I replayed 11 twice this year.

>>742426142
Futa armour...

>>742430436
nah
>>
>>742430836
replay 3 and 5.
>>
>>742426142
I don’t care for RPGs period. I’d rather spend that time playing metroidvanias and platformers.
>>
I don't like games that expect me to care about the story and characters but then everyone acts like they have literal autism
No one is playing Pokemon for the dialogue
>>
>>742433059
I do want to play 3 later this year. 5 might not be bad when I'm done with replaying BW2.
>>
>>742426142
I played and enjoyed DQ 1-5, recently finished 8 and also enjoyed it, but less than 1-5. Got 11S to play next, but I'm worried it'll be a slog for some reason, or is it well paced?
>>
>>742435736
Its a long game but the pacing is fine.
>>
>>742435736
The problem with 11 is that Act 3 is tacked on in the worst way possible, the actual pacing, especially to that point is great and feels brisk.
>>
>>742428350
Because your average thread here with an anime pic as the op gets a few retards coming in to try and assert that it's for that
>>
>>742436726
Thats retarded, anime has been a staple on 4chan since its creation. Newfags should learn

>>742426142
A sexy RPG that isn't heavily censored would be nice

Because Dragon Warrior/Quest is just barely a notch above the Ultima games that inspired it, which isn't an inherent flaw, but for the western market through the late 80s up to the current day, JRPGs were basically the first big movie game franchises since they could use all their memory and processing power for cutscenes and fancy visuals, especially once you get to the CD/DVD/Blu-Ray era.
So the stripped down fundamentalist focus of Dragon Quest had an uphill battle in the west compared to the flash of Final Fantasy or the multimedia god that is Pokemon, or nowadays the "whoa it's like I'm living in an anime" stylings of Persona.

1. The series was neglected in the west for a long time. The SNES is where the JRPG awakening in the west really bloomed with games like Chrono Trigger, and none of the DQ games on the SNES were localized.

2. The PS1 was the core of the JRPG awareness in the west. FF7 blew everyones minds with its amazing (for the time) graphics, cutscenes, and deep story. Meanwhile DQ7 on the PS1 looked like a SNES game and had the same story as all the other games, except really slow paced and shitty, even by the standards of the series.

3. In recent years, as it seems like SE is trying to make the franchise popular in the west, the game quality is simultaneously being reduced. The games became famous in Japan for having really, really solid and engaging gameplay - much better than the early Final Fantasy games which masked their lack of interesting gameplay with spectacle and story. Today, the gameplay is somehow an afterthought - by DQ11 the games have been made so easy that you can get through without ever thinking at all, and in the new DQ7 remake you can't even die. It's become the FF style walking sim jrpg except it doesnt have any spectacle to keep you interested.

I will forever maintain that Rocket Slime is pure distilled fun in digital form, the only issue is the game is too short. I got to buy it years after my wealthier cousin showed it to me (at the time we couldn't afford a DS) and it was one of the best games I've ever played.
>>
>>742438909
Its true, one of the most fun games ever made, shame we never got the sequel properly.

>>742440016
Wasn't it 2/3?
