>Tried to do something cool and interesting for once>Noooooo it's too different >Immediately go back to making the same generic slop they always madeFucking cowards.
>>744691664>trying to do something new and interestingTell me the last game that did this.
>>744691664It would have just been FF16 Dragon Quest edition
>>744691664Not what happenedThey spent years trying to make it dark without going too far and couldn't make it work, so they changed course.
>/v/edditors when brownoids who don't play the games (aka /v/edditors) can't trick devs into releasing shit no one wants
>>744691664>make something for an audience that doesn't want it (the old audience) and an audience that literally doesn't care about your franchise in an era where franchises are all the fucking matter anymore (the new audience)>realize far too late that it's stupid>you're now in a hole that you need to dig out of>spend an extra 4 years in utter silence making something with the scraps of the old project as best you can since your main artist and main musician diedHonestly better than the alternative, and I mean that genuinely.
>>744691664Based DQ. Look at Final Fantasy. It's in a fucking mess right now. Look at Pokémon, it's a fucking mess right now. Stick to what works, iterate till it's the best it can be. Don't be a faggot Westerner.
>>744691664We've seen how FF was ruined trying to do things differently or designing the game based on what the analytics tell them
>>744691664If you are going to do something different, make it a new IP.
>>744691664Same thing happened with metaflop.
>>744691664>tried to do something cool and interesting for oncebrother all we saw is the logo, Japan is usually pretty stoic and silent when it comes to development so I can only imagine how bad of a state the game was in before they rebooted to development if they fucking publicly announced that they had to do it.
Same retards seething at FF are the retards who praised Yakuza shit when they added the most basic turd based shit in history.
>>744691664This already happened with IX but you didn't mention that because you're a zoomer.
>>744691664This game obviously went through dev hell so we don't actually know what it was originally meant to look like.
>>744691664I'm genuinely disappointed that they pussied out. The world isn't gonna end if one mainline DQ is a little different, why not just go for it? But nooo, gotta have the same safe shit they've been doing for 40 fucking years.
>>744698730Nobody cares grandpa. Fuck off and die you irrelevant sack of shit.
>>744693075this
>>744699670Concession accepted.
>>744691664If you want something else go play another game series, simple as. Countless series became dogshit trying to appeal to new players and changing what they were doing best. Crybabies just want a popular name slapped onto another game
>>744700084You will die of old age very soon and no one will miss you.
>>744700601Except for yakuza shit right?
>>744691664When you buy a dragon quest game, you get a dragon quest game.It's why people like it - it's reliable and consistent.When you buy a Final Fantasy game, you have no fucking clue what you're going to get, and every single one is worse than the previous one. (Since 1999 onward).
>>744691664I feel DQ and FF, if ANYTHING they should go back to something even MORE traditional.>Create own party>Focus more on the world and exploration>Make dialogue choices actually matter>Multi-job system>Combat can still be either classic or ATB, just make things like status effects and buffs/debuffs actually fucking matter>Multiple endings and bosses depending on your choices and exploration>Make new playtroughs exciting
Another game in dev hell.Bravo, Square.
I trust Horii, if he scrapped the entire thing it must have been for a good reason. Maybe one day we'll get to see what the original concept actually looked like.
>>744706002I'm wholly convinced with how long it's taking that they're deliberately delaying it until Horii dies. That way they can get bonus sales because they can market it as "the last main series game made by the creators of Dragon Quest".
