Are we expecting any n*ws at the Tokyo Games Show?
>>536095731Yes
Oh magic conch shell, will we get anything soon?
>>536095731I'd guess no. There will probably be a booth/display with a demo for I+II. Once that is out we can start coping and hoping again, because the DQ release schedule is clear and the 40th anniversary is in May.
>>536043481For me, it’s veteran Warrior-chan and naive, inexperienced Roto-kun.
>DQ11 announced before 30th anniversary, released two years later>DQ12 announced on 35th anniversary, (hopefully) getting news on 40th anniversary
>>536108832What if they finally show a trailer at the game awards for a may release on the day of the franchise’s anniversary?

Thoughts on drackies? Underpushed or overexposed? I feel like they should be an iconic monster but aren’t for some reason.
>>536106873those are some very cute sketches.>filename
>>536161786>aliensThey are demons. From space.
>>536174243Good monster, but I think we're overdue for a game to skip them. If XII is going to rock the boat in other ways it'd be neat if it also backed off on the most common recurring monsters a bit. Besides slimes, of course.
>>536175937>Besides slimes, of course.Holy shit, you scared me for a moment
>>536176310It would be kind of cool for it to do what VI did and save them for a little later somehow. Maybe even take the daring step of letting the first encounter actually be random like ye olde games and not a rigged guaranteed slime encounter.
>>536111257It’s really not a terrible hassle at all, like surprisingly so. But you do you, if you think you can enjoy it that way, then that’s fine by me.

why does dq builders not let you skip the opening on switch?
Do you think men should be able to equip scandalous swimsuits?
>>536258643artificially extend play time past 2 hrs so you cant refund it on steam
>>536269130i mean like the opening before the title screen not the tutorial
>>536270437same reason
>>536272996i dont want to watch it every single time
>>536273434vote with your wallet or leave a scathing review so Squeenix knows to cut the bullshit
>>536274569what
>>536258643>>536273434iirc it's only the first time, when you still haven't made a save. Afterwards you should be able to skip italso yeah it's a retarded idea, in general i hate games that do the "lol you'll start the game as soon as it boots" cause i'm 100% gonna have to fiddle with options first before actually starting the game. You just know someone that isn't gonna play their own game did that
I propose the existence of a racing Dragon Quest game.
>>536283909DQ spinoffs are more creative than that. Rejected.

is Legend of the Hero Abel worth watching?
how did dragon quest remain so beloved and not turn into fetid dogshit like the final fantasy franchise
>>536306506It's pretty good to start with but drops off a cliff in the back half. Worth a watch for a DQ fan since like Dai it clearly influenced some stuff in the games, but it's not that great.
>>536269043Men should be able to equip all female-locked equipment. Y'know, so they can get the best stats.
What is with the retard spamming on /v/ about how Rubiss wasn't a Goddess in the Japanese version
>>536307424Didn't try to be something it isn't.>>536312110Not a single person on /v/ has ever had anything to say about the franchise worth reading.

>>536315086does hori have a successor lined up to helm the franchise once he's too old
>>536315210He said he never plans on retiring so there's nothing to worry about
>>536285661i'm not gonna worry. i usually decide what game i play for half the month, sometimes it prolongs into another month. FF Tactics, ToX, DQI&II, I forgot what other release was happening in september. No not Pokemon..

>>536312110>>>/v/718811489this one?anon is saying they retconned rubiss as "the" goddess character introduced in viii when previously she was considered a land spirit in ii's dialogue. makes sense.
>>536320496Not gonna read that thread right now but I don't think that idea really lines up. I don't recall VIII ever mentioning Rubiss, in VI she appears and there's no indication that she's supposed to be "the" Goddess. XI has the Cobblestoners use the title "spirit of the land" but there's no connection drawn to the save statue goddess or Yggdragon that I can remember.
Are there any maous besides Zoma you’d like to see stream?

>>536478910What's the difference besides the color?
>>536455621its my third favorite dq because of how easy it is to just pick up and play and everything is very solid
>>536478910Blue
>>536482970The taste
Seems like they will also increase the level you can get for crafting.

Pick blue or else

DQ cooking game with celebrity judge Serena
Where can I grab a copy of IV for nds that has partychat and I can name my character in english? Why does the rom in the thread make me use jap keyboard thats stupid
>>536546938That sounds like the original party chat patch. It used the Japanese version of the game and was an imperfect solution. The Japanese keyboard is used in character creation, but it didn't matter because the Japanese version of the game hardcodes the Hero/Heroine as Solo/Sophia when set to English. Among other issues.There's a newer patch that instead uses the US version as a base and doesn't have those issues. You can find that one here:https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7382/I do not know where you can find a pre-patched version. It's simple enough to apply. You can do it online here:https://kotcrab.github.io/xdelta-wasm/

>>536589209And popular?
>星のドラゴンクエスト and FFBE announced EoS todayDid something happen on SE?
>>536604940i spent the last few years going "SE is making way for more modern gachas with bigger graphics and whatever" but idk if that's really been working for them. I do think that if they were smart they'd try to ape stuff like genshin (in gameplay style) but idk, reminder that SE had a few suits really falling for the nft tardness so you never know what they're actually thinking
>>536604940Both ran for 10 years, so it's not too surprising. DQMSL was shut down after 10 years as well.Crazy to see Stars JP go. It was the only DQ that covered all of the Mangas, Animes, and Games. I'm wondering if they make a new Stars or if they just stay with Walk, since Champions failed pretty hard.
>>536604940Thank you as always for enjoying Dragon Quest of the Stars.This is Mutō, the producer.Today, I have an important announcement for all players.Dragon Quest of the Stars will be ending its service on Friday, October 31, 2025.The game was first launched on October 15, 2015, under the banner of a “whole-planet exploration RPG,” allowing players to adventure across the entire planet of Brullia.With updates to the main story, Mogamaru and the adventurers eventually left Brullia and expanded their journey to the entire galaxy, evolving into a “whole-universe exploration RPG.”Along the way, we also introduced new content such as the Monster Arena, the Mogastation, and Hero Training.The current DQ of the Stars exists only thanks to the constant support of our players. On behalf of the entire operations and development staff, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude.After the previous producer entrusted me with the project, I made it my top priority to maintain this game — a place where players could gather and connect — for as long as possible. However, due to the increasing complexity of the development and production environment, we have reached the conclusion that it will be difficult to continue providing a service that will satisfy our players. We sincerely apologize for bringing such news while so many of you are still actively enjoying the game.It is rare to speak openly about internal matters in such an announcement, but I would like to touch a little more on the complexity I mentioned.As noted earlier, with your support, DQ of the Stars was able to expand with much content, countless pieces of equipment and skills, and continued growth.This has been a wonderful thing, but the challenge of managing, balancing, and producing all of these elements without bugs grew increasingly difficult over time.
>>536604940>>536606608A game program is a massive collection of functions. Even when each part works fine on its own, unexpected behavior often emerges when everything is interlinked.The operations and development teams — especially those working directly on development — have constantly strived to increase efficiency, and sometimes even invented new methods to overcome these challenges. But at last we have reached a situation where continuing without affecting players has become extremely difficult.Therefore, we chose to mark the 10th anniversary as a fitting milestone, and to conclude the story in full.Lastly, to everyone who has played Dragon Quest of the Stars, we offer our heartfelt thanks.Sensing other adventurers’ actions from the movement of the skill reels, communicating through stamps, and rejoicing together after defeating powerful foes — these were the true pleasures of DQ of the Stars.And it was you, the players, who made that experience possible, supporting the game as its most vital element.We also thank those who shared their feedback and encouragement through inquiries, on social media, and in livestream comments. All of it — even the harshest criticisms — was taken as proof of your passion and shared among the staff, and served as great motivation.We are also grateful for the many warm welcomes we received through stamps when encountering others in random multiplayer, and for the kind words offered directly at offline events. Looking back, there is nothing but gratitude.Truly, thank you so much.Until the day of the finale, the operations and development teams will continue to give our all.We hope you will stay with us until the very end.— The Dragon Quest of the Stars Producer Mutō and the Operations Team
>>536606608>>536606702wouldn't hurt to also just rerelease the game as an offline version, i would hate gachas a little less if they did that when the inevitable eos comes

is it even worth to play draconian mode on dq3? it feels like the game is actually malevolent against me.

At least there's Dragon Quest to make your Italian dreams come true
>>536786734If you want.
>>536786734Draconian mode isn't that hard besides a few bosses and Xenlon. It just makes the game more tedious.
>>536786734I would not recommend Draconian on a 1st play.

65 days till Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake
DQ12 tease?
I've been playing through the series. I'm like five hours into DQ7 and I fucking hate it. If I hate a game I'll put it down, but I want to ask first: Is there anything in 7 that really makes it worth playing? I know it's one of the least popular games in the series but I want to hear out any defenders before I dismiss the game.
>>536826989I will be completely honest with you: It does not get any better. However, despite being basically in the same boat as you (But about 10x more stubborn because I powered through it anyways mostly out of spite), after finishing the game I ended up looking back on it fondly, in a strange pseudo-Stockholm way. If you're patient enough it's kind of worth it to experience that feeling alone. Not a lot of other games that can do that.
>>536826405Think square said to stock holders or some shit that there would be no big releases till 2027
>>536826989I'm surprised you feel that way after only 5 hours. The real problems with 7 don't really become apparent for a while after that.I'm personally grateful to DQ7 for introducing party chat and my favorite art style but man is it a letdown in the gameplay department. No room to explore and too few characters to play with the class system properly.
big if ture
>>536830197honestly i think it will be a remaster of the ps1 version, they have been on a kick of remastering ps1 titles recently
>>536831952I would vastly prefer this. It'd be nice if all the PS1-style games just got basic remasters
>>536827715Thankyou for the honesty. I understand what you mean because I've felt that way about games before, but that also isn't exactly encouraging me to continue the game. >>536828908It was HOURS until my first battle against slimes and that's a massive red flag for me. My favorite DQs so far are 3 and 5 by a mile, in large part because of the freedom they give you with party building, the general balance of battles as the game progresses, etc. The gameplay side of things matters to me a lot and so far 7 seems like it's all about the story. Despite 6 giving a lot of freedom - maybe too much honestly - with how you build your party, for some reason that's hard to pin down I didn't like the game. I don't know, it was just sort of boring overall. Vague criticism but I know I didn't like the game, like I said it's just hard to pin down why exactly. I know 7 had the same developers as 6 so I admittedly went into 7 incredulously. I didn't want to not like it, but I didn't have the highest hopes for the game either. Hearing it has bigger problems later on isn't encouraging. Party chat is great but I've been playing remakes so I've had party chat for 4 and 5 already, so that isn't new to me. Cool to hear it started in 7 originally though, I didn't know that. It's a praiseworthy feature for sure. >>536830197I try not to put stock into rumors but fuck it, this is enough for me to just move on to 8 for now. Hopefully someday a new version of 7 comes out that fixes things up. Thankyou anons for your assistance. All things said, despite my grievances with 6 and now 7, I've been enjoying playing through this series a lot.
>>536770056i know the feeling, i'm starving
Remember to feed your martial artist big sis

>>536855825put the remakes on switch and i will
>>536826989Some of the vignettes have the best stories that DQ can offer, and once you reach the midgame-endgame and the world map is filled up, it starts to feel like any other Dragon Quest game. Though by that point I was feeling pretty numb and going through the motions, but the story didn't disappoint.
I would rather the ps1 version of iv be ported
I would rather we stopped porting and saw new shit.

i think IX hit the right spot into making the gameplay not look turn based, as in it's still literally the same but you see more variety than just the 4 niggas in a row, while also not making it look "fake" like XI does (cause you can move around but it does nothing at all, at that point the characters moving around on their own feels better cause it feels like there's meaning to that movement)
>>537032027IX was a good try, but the animations got a bit tiresome after a while. XI was basically fine if you use the classic camera, the free movement mode was pointless and it's retarded that it's the default.
Not many realized this but in the original DQ11 (PS4/PC) free movement was nice because it can shorten melee attack animations, i.e. it removed the character jumping back and forth when attacking if they were close enough to the enemy. It would also auto select your target based on the distance between the character you control and the enemy. This is why speedruns often used the free movement mode. The game never tells you this information so you wouldn't know unless you experimented. Of course, 11S kinda makes this moot because there's an option to speedup everything in battle (not a fan of the execution honestly), but before that it was a nice addition that improved the flow of battle if you knew how it worked. I think there's potential for some mechanics (environments and positioning) to be built over it.
>>537037803I was going to mention that, but even though I don't pay attention to speedruns that seems like an obvious upside. There are a few cases with large bosses like the Tentacular where the walk up to the enemy to attack can get absurdly long. To me that seems like a problem that was probably caused by the free movement mode existing at all, though.
>>537001046NO!NO NO NO NO NO!THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT?!I loved that old dude! My favourite old man voice actor! I imagine among the DQ fanbase he'll be better remembered as Vearn but he's been so many others. Fucking hell, RIP you magnificent bastard. He's in so many ongoing series I'm watching, too.
>>537048043Forgot my pic, another one of his roles that also reflects how I'm feeling.
I hope 1+2make(s) are a bit saucier than 3make.
A joke related to bone of Baramos is at the tip of my tongue but I shan't do it
It just occurred to me that poor ol’ Baramos was always going on about eating squishy innards because he probably lacked the teeth to chew muscle :(

>>536830197why not 3DS?
at least he played the best role for last for the best game in the series.
I like 8’s setting more but I think 11’s characters and combat are better
>>537225461I feel like I could be convinced to have a similar opinion, but none of 11's characters really stuck with me besides Sylvando and kinda Hendrick. I didn't really like the sort of vague battle order in 11 either.
>game with 4 characters has a wagon>game with 8 characters doesn't???????
>>537187482Don’t really know why, but Ash has one of my favourite designs in the series. Maybe it’s the cute hair.
I would prefer the owner's puff-puff instead

maribelly
If I mod the 3ds version of VIII, is it not just superior to the PS2 version in every way?>upscale the graphics >best soundtrack >censorship gone>more content>no random encounters
I saw someone say for max benefits during 1&2’s postgame you’d need a 3 clear save with a grand medal and more guns n’ buns.I got a grand medal from the grand dragon but where can I find more guns n’ buns (comment said it was its own book, not multiple copies of guns n’ buns)?Do I need to beat the grand dragon in under a set amount of turns? Because the prospect of grinding seeds for dozens of hours makes me want to cry.
>>537346385upscale doesn’t change the model differences and it has different lighting and render distance so some stuff looks worse on 3ds + random encounters are superior
>>537350753More Guns 'n Buns is the final item you can get from Xenlon, available only after you've gotten the rest of his wishes. It's a permanent version that doesn't get consumed.
>>537351247Thanks! I’ve only got two more wishes to go then.
Do you think 2make will flesh out the maid girl who’s obviously in love with Middenhall? Also do you think Cunnock will develop a crush on one of her cousins or stay true to her onii-chan?

Her heart couldn't move on.">The heroine, who the protagonist did not choose as a marriage partner, later in the story, Flora marries Andy, a young man who loves her, and Bianca spends her life single in a village deep in the mountains.>Nakagawa asked Mr. Horii about the story behind the game setting, "If Bianca wasn't chosen, wouldn't she be single in the mountains? Didn't you give Bianca someone to marry her?", "I think Bianca is a little different," he answered immediately. "The reason Bianca is single is because she couldn't forget the main character" As the inside story unfolded, Nakagawa and the staff were surprised, saying, "Oh!"

How long does it take to get your full party back in Act 2 of 11? I just got the sewer key from the king.
>>537465194Most of the way through the act. You get one character back per major town, basically. Act 2 shouldn't take you as long as Act 1, though.
>>537467210Well that sucks. I guess I should just beeline the main story of act 2 and avoid doing any sort of grinding/farming, as that would cause the party to be misaligned in level, correct?
>>537467691I think they still gain XP as if you had them anyway so that's not a problem.

Play DQM Joker
>>537565145old girl
>>537569173What was his problem?
>>537569173Already did. Also played Joker 3 Pro.I gotta sit down to play Joker 2.
>>537535210I got a bad feeling that using the free switch 2 upgrade for DQ3 is going to make the save file incompatible with the switch 1 version of DQ I&II. like it's some kind of underhanded way to punish you for not buying the keycard.
>>537574680What a horrible feeling to have. From what I understand, other games that have had Switch 2 upgrades could still use the same save files if migrated back to a Switch 1, through like cloud saves and the like, but not in all cases. Zelda can't make use of the second save slot, for example.I guess that's not a good situational comparison. We'll just have to wait and see. Square hasn't issued any warnings about it yet, which I'd like to think is a good sign.
>>537572559>>537576356The lighting for these gives me those shitty "game in UE5 NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN" tech demo vibes.
>>537574680>free switch 2 upgradeWhat does the upgrade include?

Is Dai no Daibouken really that goodSpics seem to worship it
>>537605539It has its moments but it's not amazing. Some stuff from it ended up in the games, which is cool. It doesn't feel that much like Dragon Quest.
>>537621145I will never forgive the Japanese
>>537605539>Spics seem to worship itcause it's pretty much dragon ball yeahwhich isn't bad at all of course, and if you just can't accept it being that when you were expecting proper dragon quest you're likely not gonna like it, but yeah it's DQ-themed dragon ball
Never forget the part of Dai where the characters start flying everywhere like it's DBZ and then just stop doing it after a while
>>537595001For you.
>>537592710>everybody named after card games>villain turns into a literal hand
>>537569173IX and this game were the two only DQ games I played as a kid. Fond memories, although I had literally no idea what I was doing
>>537621145Unironically one of my favourite characters in anything ever.I miss her.
The beginning of dqv is peak comfy.
>>536652858I hope a square dev is in this thread
Dora in the Grey is no fun to fight on Stronger Monster. Don't like it that she can take over the character you attempt to swap with mid fight only to take control of it.
>>537672309She's not that much better on normal difficulty. It's that way with most of the harder bosses in XI, they're tough because of status effects rather than just big damage, so stronger monsters doesn't change that much.
>>537672718Are there any item that can cancel her status her mesmerizing effect on characters?
still mad the dai game was purposefully made to not cover the whole thing, imagine being this stupid. Like they couldn't possibly believe they had more than one shot at making this game right? They weren't thinking "it's okay we'll put in the rest in a sequel that will definitively be made" right?
>>537694014I would understand if it didn't take 500 years to develop. I know there was the coof and everything but I was hoping for something a lot more ambitious and DQ-like than the usual anime game.
>>537675226snap crackle poof for senya and sobering slap for silvya. the same as the spider fight.
>>537694812>Ixxi>Xivviii>Viiiii>Viivii
>>537605539you mean the game or the anime? the french and mexicans praise it because the orignal was popular in their childhoods. the remake was well recieved but some complained the music was no longer sugiyamas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1U_PdiMAko&ab_channel=Whozilla
nu-Dai would be a point out of ten better if it used music and sound effects from the games. The original Dai soundtrack was fantastic
>>537694275i mean i get it not being like DQ proper but yeah
>>537714028I wasn't expecting a full mainline DQ game or anything, but I was hoping it would have some exploration, towns, sidequests, maybe fill out the world a little more in ways the manga didn't. Realistically I thought maybe it would fit somewhere on the DQ Heroes 2/Trials of Mana remake spectrum.
>No full party in 11 until Act 3My autism is having trouble coping with this.
>>537720640Wait until you discover what Hendrik learns in Act 3
>>537731586S-so cool...
>>536038821Thanks for making the handy guide in the OP. Gonna start my first dragon's quest now. Anyone have any tips on best aspect ratio for emulation? running a vertical monitor atm
XI is just IV, but better in every way when you think about it.
>>537734375>best aspect ratio for emulationthe one of the game you're emulating. I'd say "the one of the console you're emulating" but on some systems there's widescreen patches for individual games and that can look better so basically as long as you don't force a specific one yourself you should be good. What you can force though for DS game is the space between the screen, given some games accounted for that when making cutscenes that spanned both screens or whateveralso remember that upping the internal resolution is a thing, should be obvious but i remember an anon here that didn't know that

I never got any further in One Piece than the arc where they save Robin with the giraffe guy. My hot take is that a manga about pirates should have way more naval combat in it

DQ feels so casual now. Don't think I'll be getting the I&II re-remakes.
Alright
stayed up late last night doing uptaten towers (was kino) and rescued the cat. game's pretty fun so far.
>>537823051Play on hardest diff pussay
>>537834968As if that changes anything.
>>537823051This is a problem with JRPGs in general. They're made for literal retards that would rather shoot themselves than go back and play the older games they claim to "love". No one actually likes JRPGs, that's why every aspect of them has to be dumbed down and autopilot in order for them to be considered "playable". Isn't it amazing that there's a whole disingenuous term for "I actually hate those old games I claim to like and want this remake to let me skip the gameplay"? It's called "QoL".Anyway, it's sad that DQ nosedived into other series' stupidity so quickly. There were some issues with the games in the 00s and early 10s but they weren't as bad as now.
>>537836448It literally does
these sprites are so great
>>537844091The DS remakes are deeply sovlful
XI is definitely too easy in ways the hard mode can't compensate for. Challenging bosses are nice, but regular encounters need limited resources to completely work and you get campsites everywhere, avoidable visible encounters (which I like, but they do make things much easier) and HP/MP restocks on level up. I'd appreciate options to tone down some of that stuff too in future games.
>>537847575I think a good balance would be adding random encounters in dungeons. Being able to sprint all the way to the last boss without a single fight was crazy
>>537846517something about the DS just shat out soulful games. all the more reason i believe limited hardware forced developers to make up with ingenuity.also /dqg/ guide to starting was much more useful than /ffg/
>>537851198Dedicated handhelds going extinct was one of the worst things to happen to games.
>>537836448I imagine they’ll make I&II a bit more difficult because one of the most common complaints about III was the lack of difficulty even on the draconian setting.
>>537847575I can't believe they killed the whole point of Zooming indoors.
>>537863732It still drives me crazy that the musou game included that but XI didn't.
>>537874449Is she a hero?

higher DQ difficulty = just grind more to winit's only difficult if you are trying to do an RTA or fast clear time

>>537912005They're set on naming him Solo in English promos, huh
>>537878949Kinda shitty they made Parry the hero and our darling Mädchen just an extra sibling. The twins should’ve shared the hero title.
>>537969968yeah that's because you didn't play the game and ignored everyone else that did, as a super nerd would
>>537914331Cool. I wonder what skills Rickerd and lil sister will have
>>537893040Your Japanese IME?
>>537977945News flash that’s rpgs in general. You can either use strategy to try and beat the boss at lower levels or overgrind to make it easy. It’s been that way for like 40 years .
>>538012378that would be too difficult since you would have to know what they even want you to type in the first place, there is an application on the translation things website that I used that did it for you based off whatever number the quest was or some shit
>>537998039me on the left
>>538015268and even then strategy is a big word, especially in the 4 niggas in a row variety of jrpg given you just can't avoid being a sitting duck, you either try to prop up your defense related stats or do stuff that negate damage but also make you waste a whole turn just to negate said damage. At least DQ has enemies with an actual MP pool, meaning in some cases you can just tried to make them waste it until they have no more, but still

Nintendo leaker hints that 3 different "7" games will be revealed on next week's supposed direct
>>538133680>Leave news to us
Since we've pronounced the n-word I'm going to ask. We don't usually get anything at TGS right?

>>538032192I love kaclang
>>538138580I mean 1 & 2 will be there but i doubt much more info will be shown for it but sometimes there are surprises so there could be a teaser that’s just an appetizer for the nintendo direct
I just realized the mobile versions of 4,5, 6 and 8 are available in the US
>>538144615I assumed since we never got the mobile version of 7 that we also never had the other mobile versions besides the original trilogy but no we have had the others for 11 years
>>538144615fun fact: the smartphone versions are how 1, 2 and 3 officially first got in europe
>>538146251I sometimes forget how awfully Europe was treated in the NES and SNES era
>>538146251i learned this fact from smash bros of all places, as one of the ingame tips had DQ3 first release being like 2013 or something, aka the smartphone release
>>538135863Nate confirmed the 7 remake is real apparently. So, grain of salt and all, but if all this is true, I guess we'll hear about it next week.
>>538161965Please just be a remaster of the ps1 game

>>538174794this, don't make it exclusive to Draconian mode either, don't be cowards and put it in the standard difficulty too for the memes

>>538178876Clearly that's a good thing. Just look at how good Silksong is doing after such a delay?
>>538179223Multiple people have been complaining about the differences in combat and questioning if certain parts were even play tested. People like it sure but it’s an uneven experience
>>538180180>and questioning if certain parts were even play tested.meaning it needed even more time, not less
>>538181765I mean yeah everything would be better with more time but more time can also mean things get overlooked or prolonged till you get something mediocre. If they had to meet a deadline they would have probably not overhauled a lot of the mechanics and cut some areas that needed more polish leading to a more even game
>>538176951Anything's possible, he was given Fullheal back in Dragon Quest 9 after all.
If 7 remake is switch 2 only i riot
>>538196449No worries, m8. It doesn’t even exist.
>>538196449If they put the HD-2D trilogy on xbox then they'll put VII everywhere
unavoidabelinescapabel
>>538211051It might skip switch 1
>>538220342At first I thought there's no way a 3ds port would skip switch 1, but I guess square enix did it already haha...
>>538221516i fucking hate square enix
>>538179223>>538180180>>538181765>>538188981idk, lots of people are saying HK1 is better and Silksong is mid Duke Nukem Forever was disappointing too
The sad truth is 12 will never be as good as 11 because 11 didn’t have as much riding on it
>>53823150412 has to do very little to be better than 11classesmonster tamingcharacter creationdungeon puzzlestension systemany one of the above is enough
>>538237758>character creationEh? But everyone likes the heroes...
>>538237758only monster taming would have lead to a significant gameplay experience
I want the Conklave to come back.
This updating had its limits though, when asked about if there were any elements of the original games that the team knew they couldn’t change, Hayasaka had a surprising answer about just how different this remake could have made the first Dragon Quest in particular. “Dragon Quest 1 is a solo adventure. It’s about a single character’s journey, and, obviously from the development perspective, that was something that we thought we might want to change.”Hayasaka elaborated by telling me, “It is quite difficult making a game [work well] with just one character. So we were thinking maybe we could add a few more party characters. We had a few allies for him and we suggested that to Mr. Hori, but that was something he was very adamant on not changing.”This was something that the creator of the famed franchise seemed quite passionate about, as Hayasaka described it, “He really said, ‘No, Dragon Quest 1 is a story about one man’s adventure, one journey, and it’s the history of the series.’ So we wanted people to experience where the game started, where the history of the series started. So in that sense, that was something he… decided on from the start, ‘No, this is going to be a one person [adventure].’ Even if the development team wanted to change that, that was something he [felt] very, very strong about not changing.”
Square Enix is set to complete its modernization of Dragon Quest's beginnings with Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake, but if you've already played the original JRPGs, producer Masaaki Hayasaka wants you to know that "there's a lot more content around this time," including a "really big surprise" twist.In a group interview attended by GamesRadar+ at Gamescom 2025, Hayasaka says (via interpreter): "You can rest assured there's a lot more content around this time. We really added a lot more to the story. The scenario has been fleshed out. I mean, if you look at it in terms of the word count, the amount of text in the game, the first two games – the original versions – were tens of thousands of words on their own. We're up into the millions now for the remake."Party chat confirmed?!
>>538196449>>538221516>he can't wait 6 monthsdid you already forget how every other SE game's "exclusivity", DQ games included, worked?
>>538250706>including a "really big surprise" twist.i don't trust the japs cause their "really big surprise" can just be some shit like "Hargon now has new sprites!!!" or "you can choose between purple peronel and blonde peronel!!"
>>538255557But that's just for competing platforms, not older ones. That anon's a switch 1 gamer and wants to play it on that
>>538255942you're right, my badstill my advice is to start investing in a pc cause that's where all the games end up eventually
>>538237758I don’t like monster taming, character creation, dungeon puzzles or tension systems and i think the only good class system is 3’s with every other one over complicating things
>>538256287If steam ever gets sold or gabe dies they could revoke every game you’ve ever owned
>>538262828same goes for literally every other platform, people somehow got gaslit into believing only steam deals in licenses when every single entertainment product you ever had was always sold as a license. Go check your 20 yos discs, you'll find "you only have a license to play this game" everywhere, not to mention when games did get pulled from various storefronts or like ubisoft outright telling people to destroy the copy of the game they ownalso, who ever said anything about buying?
>>538263265The difference is they can’t really enforce that in the US with physical media but they can with digital
>>538264540i know, and it already happened, the point is that it can happen anywhere not just steam. If anything on pc you can just move your files like you would a physical game
>>538237758>tension system> in big old 2025+
>>538253812I will never forgive the Japanese.Seriously, if there's another Debora after this shit was discontinued here I'll personally fly to Japan and beat someone with an oak club.
>>538237758>classes>character creation>tension systemThank god you are not in charge.
>>538266474Most people don’t have all their game files installed waiting for the day of removal
>>538250542Damn they really wanted to change the core identity of the first gameI could be a series director too if all it takes is to be smarter than that
DQ1 having more than the hero would have been bad imo, it would just lose its identity
>Almost another full year without flames of fate newsThis was silently cancelled wasn't it....my hope is at an all time low.
>>538275638that's where piracy comes into play, and before that as well i might add
>>538279105If DQ7 gets shown at the Nintendo direct it’s safe to assume 12 is 2027 at the earliest
>>538237758I like all of these, actually.
>>5382689729 days
>>538237758>dungeon puzzlesI would actually not mind if a DQ game completely copied Lufia 2's format
>>538250542Based Hori
>Imouto-chan got gadabout skillsIt's over.
>>538300253She also sometimes ignores orders in battle like a gadabout, so it fits.Think she'll get puff-puff?
>>538302202>spoilerThat was my point.
>>538302202>>538303521But she has nothing to puff puff with.
From that trailer cannock-chan also shared roundhouse kick and shocking slash with her brother so I'm thinking the 4 might have some overlap in skills and spells.
>>538303967It'll be the male version. Oh who am I kidding it'll just be Hustle Dance.
>>538303967cute frustrated puff puff
>>538303967Nature finds a way
I find it really funny that japanese players censor people’s names and characters eyes when posting images of dqx

Piracy is bad.
>>538304330Makes sense considering how stupidly stacked chaddenhall's list was in the preview.
The only party that can measure up to a fully jobbed up set from VI or VII
I've been trying to gold medal all the campaigns in AoE2 DE lately and in the Babur campaign there's a character who I'm 99% sure has the same VA as Pang and it's extremely distracting

Do not pirate XII or you’ll make Horii very sad.
>>538375263Ah yes, Juan
>>538304330>>538358752Some of the skills we've seen might've been added to characters with the scrolls they mentioned.>>538250706If you guys wanna check out the Gamescom interview about I&II, it starts at 3:05:00 in this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRC0qz88Wvw

>>538402330Can I pirate Caravan Heart?
>>538402330if its not on switch 1 im pirating
>>536038821Holy fawk her cock is huge!
>seven is the only remake not available anywhere except for mobile in JP, and on 3DS globally. I would like to see Maribel in 3D on the big screen . And I wish we could get Kiefer back instead of trapping him with that gypsy.
>>538407719>tombola confirmed returningfuck yeah
> smellybell in 3D
>>538426301She's already been 3D
>>538426541She sucked in Heroes II (from what I remember playing 7 years ago)
>>538422805dont play caravan heart
>>538427091She's pretty effective, and more fun than bow or wand users at least. It's funny that her weapon type is one she can't even equip in 7.
>>538426541thumbnail made it look like she was holding a holster. also wish there were nudes.
>>538430803All I remember was finding her spells a lot more useful, Torneko, Angelo, Ruff, and the two random OCs were useless, and Maya, Meena, Alena, Carver, Terry, and the protagonists were OP.>It's funny that her weapon type is one she can't even equip in 7.Yeah shouldn't that have been Ruff's weapon? But I guess the wolf thing is more important. Teebeeaych Kiefer or his daughter should've been the second VII rep instead.
>>538432432Desdemona is decent. Really any character in a musou game with a big weapon like that tends to be pretty good. Agreed about the others, but Jessica also belongs in the good pile.Like with Heroes 1 giving Bianca a bow (even though it sucks to use) I actually prefer Heroes' made-up weapon for Maribel over the generic whips and staves she can use in her actual game.
Heroes 3 when
No gimmick no game
The gimmick is it has Debbie in it and her weapon is big hammers and she's extremely OP and fun

how do (You) feel about monster party members in mainline games
>>538484306>Meowgician party member>Actual character and not just a one off recruitable or joke>She struggles with magic and the game encourages you to change her vocation>Cute interactions with hero and other party members generate the best fan fiction/doujin smut you ever readAs long as I don't have to read some stupid monster accent (almighty forbid it's voiced), I'd probably enjoy it's inclusion
>>538484306It's nice, but it shouldn't be standard. If VIII ever gets another remake/remaster/whatever, I want the recruitable monsters you can already get for the arena to be unlockable as party members so you can fill it out to a full eight. I don't really want it in XII except maybe as a one-off like Lizzie (i.e. not a full system).
>>538484306Good monsters should become humans
>>538479103Hahaha friendless
>>538484306they should do a choose your monster thing like how they did for your wife in DQV
>>538484306i'd certainly like it more than just finding monsters for some side thing
>panzer dragoon zwei remake playable at tokyo game show before dragon quest 12
>>538516181Is it cheap slop like the first remake?
>>538484306Fun, but I feel like you'd have to make them be conscious and talk, though, to really make it work.I noticed that it's more fun if you can incorporate them into everything more, instead of just making them point to something, grunt, or (slurp).
>>538527056>but I feel like you'd have to make them be conscious and talki mean most monsters in DQ already do that
https://www.nintendo-town.fr/2025/09/09/dragon-quest-xii-yuji-horii-reconnait-des-difficultes-dans-le-developpement/Even though the article is in baguette speak, it talks about Horii explaining the difficulties in the development of XII
>>538533356They talked about this before and the "difficulties" are entirely about making the game palatable to new audiences, that's it. The development is otherwise going steady.

>>538535617Monsieur Professeur le Principal Maxime Médaillé...
>>538534940I know but the point is he's saying explicitly that there are problems which in nip terms mean they are in deep shit about what to do.
>>538539302Yee, but he’s been saying that for a while. Not really surprising, no? People can meme about Toriyama or Sugiyama ‘not mattering,’ or whatever, but they were the ones handling the key character designs and music. Losing them must’ve hit the team hard, so there was probably a lot of time spent figuring out how to move forward.And we know Horii said in a tweet he wants to do Toriyama and Sugiyama justice, so I’d guess a lot of this is him and the team trying to make the best possible game right now, one that lives up to expectations.
>>538544369i don't think that's it, i think they're just having issues with the "it's gonna change stuff gameplay-wise". And i think they're just unsure about any change, like they probably feel they're damned if they do and damned if they don't. In reality they should realize people aren't gonna suddenly play the game simply cause you made it play like idk call of duty, basically all these changes do in meaningful numbers is just pushing away core fans. Example: final fantasy doing that and not going well no matter how many games they try it and how much they make it an action game (hell, the more they go that route the worse the game performs)
>>538544369The game was formally announced in 2021 but Horii has spoken about the game being in planning/writing stages since 2019. The SE recruitment page they set up specifically for DQ12 in 2021 mentioned the story being done.Toriyama only died in March of last year. By this time it's highly likely that he'd have completed all the essential designs (main cast, villains, key monsters) and everything else would be handled by Bird Studio or SE's in-house art people like Eichiiro Nakatsu. I imagine all that would've been left for Toriyama to do is promotional art, box art, etc, unless the game entered some kind of major restructuring at the base level around or after the time of his death. Sugiyama would be a bigger issue. Historically, he's always composed music parallel to the development of the games, even with DQ11 we saw him composing something based on an in-game cutscene. Unless they already prepared someone to take the mantle in-case of death, the team would be scrambling to find someone suitable to replace him. We know other composers who worked on DQ before, like Hayato Matsuo, but whether they'd be up to the task or available to do it is another issue entirely. However, Sugiyama's absence shouldn't preclude the development of the rest of the game. This leads me to believe they're facing a lot more issues beyond their deaths. That we've seen absolutely nothing of the game--no footage, no screenshot, no art--by the time Toriyama died nearly three years after the announcement is worrying. Especially in comparison to DQ11 which had gameplay for both versions when it was announced. The last time they were open about development troubles was DQM3, which became a completely different game from what it was conceptualized as by the time it released. Not a mainline game, but still, much more could be going on behind the scenes that what we know.
I still haven't played nu-3 so I can't speak for that, but the quality of the recent spinoffs worries me a lot.
Dragon Quest XII NEEDS an Egyptian women.We've had several Egypt-inspired regions in the games, and several important Egyptian NPCs, but none have been playable. The demand is there. The market is there. Give us a beautiful Egyptian woman in the party.

i wish we had another DQ game with Fozu (Jacquline) in it.i realized i have no images of her
>>538591571Since the Heroes games had Patty and Erinn it would've been cool if a third game expanded the vocation system and added Jacqueline too. And maybe also added Monty and turned the monster medals into proper pseudo-party members you can level up instead of one-offs. Horii-san...
dq12
>look at my XI folder from the video captures i've saved.>lot of veronica from Hotto.>except for later when it got deleted with the other games. i should replay it.
as a longtime fan, please make dq12 available on switch, switch 2, ps4, ps5, xbox 1, xbox s, and pc.i want to see the series take off in the west and this will certainly help it to do so. but don't give in to western censorship bullshit and stay true to the vision; i feel if the cartoony art were retained in its initial western run as dragon warrior, it would have done much better as people would have recognized toriyama's artstyle at the same time they were learning about dragon ball.
>>538604415imagine if they enchanced DQXI for the Switch 2.
Stinky
No more bumps after this point
>>538581556i don't think they ever said XII was gonna be action, they just said "new gameplay"
