Less than 12 hours...
Shoutouts to my nigga King Dragon
9 hours left
>>568399246But that says 12
>>568397784Will be a funny op when it’s 6 that gets remade
Maybe next thread we can dump Infinity Strash and Treasures from the news. And wait, how come those are up there but DQM3 isn't?
DQ1 mobile is a dollar right now
>>568400675Willing to bet 10 tombola tokens the Zenithian trilogy isn’t being remade in the near future.
>>568403578Yuji Horii already leaked it was happening
>when Torneko's joke fails but Maya crits on the next action anyways
>>568400916I would also like to forget Infinity Strash and Treasures.
>>568400675I have no doubt they'll get to the 4-6 hd-2d games, but I expect them to be made by the same team that just did 1-3, so I think it will be a while before they announce it, unless they do a really early teaser.
>>568403578Zenithia is probably happening, if not within the next few hours then we'll learn about it eventually. Pretty much implied at this point.
Realistically we'll get two game trailers tops with the 10 minute video. It's unlikely they will just drop trailers and not have someone yap about it right after.
>>568408624But eight videos?
>>568408718Those were all DQ7 ads
>>568408624If that’s the case then it’ll be XI Switch 2 edition and XII
We might get info about the DQXI Switch 2 version which was rated like 4 weeks ago, nothing too exciting.
>>568408829They're still unlisted, how could you know that?
>>568408829One of them was, who knows about the others, I wouldn't get my hopes up for that many announcements though.
>>568407513I think the critical factors are 1. whether they decide to use the exact same style as I-III or try to change it up somehow, and 2. when exactly XII is coming out. IV-VI wouldn't need nearly as much work as I&II, I think they could push them out pretty fast if they wanted.
Slimes are cute
>>568416703Are they really, tho?
>>568417173It's not fair.
How many hours?Post your predictions
>>568420269>Biggest fearAI slop>Biggest hypechocolate returns
>>568422396oh god toriyama ai slop wasnt even on my radar
1 hour to go but im too tired now. will watch it tomorrow.
>>568397784is DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Dark Prince worth $8? i liked pokopia is Dragon Quest Builders worth $11? will dq 1 and 2 ever go to $20?
>>568429613>is DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Dark Prince worth $8?sureit's not the best game in the series, if you never played any of them, but i'd say 8 bucks is fair>i liked pokopia is Dragon Quest Builders worth $11?if you're talking about Builders 1 then it heavily depends on the version, as that game has different stuff in it depending on where it was released (beyond the "it looks worse on this system, it looks better on this other system"). Ignore the Playstation releases and either get the switch, mobile or steam version. Steam and mobile are iirc the same thing, but it is unironically the most feature complete version of Builders 1Also keep in mind there's a builders 2 too, though that one is the same across all platforms (besides looking better on pc and playstation etc)
>>568397784Oh man, this artist is one of my favorites. Too bad they get suicidal thoughts every couple of months and delete EVERYTHING. Does anyone have an archive of their stuff?
WE ARE LIVE!!1
Bit over 2 hours until we learn DQ is dead forever
Just 2 more hours...I wish I could understand what they're saying.
at least its not gacha...
I want the game boxes lined up in the back
>new witcher 3 expansion before dragon quest 12
Do japanese people even like these kinds of streams or do they also find them boring as shit?
>>568439195Japanese are bigger consoomers than your average westoid. They eat this shit up.
>>568439195if they didnt we wouldnt have idol culture and vtumors
>>568439195given what passes as "big event" in japan i'd say japs are the "just happy to be here" kind of peoplei mean, if they still do these events it must mean they like them
>>568439402These EEEEH SUGOI panel style streams are just structed the same way nip daytime TV has been done for like 70 years
>>568439195They swear allegiance to corporations from the moment they're born, of course they do.
DQXI Switch 2 out of the way, it's a game key card too LMAO
>>56843995612 will suffer the same fate
>>568439956>dragon quest 11 switch 2 port before dragon quest 12>dragon quest 11 game key card before dragon quest 12
Which of us pranked /v/ by making them think this is the stream?
>>568440901Stream for what?
>>568440901Hey lol
>>568440934the home shopping network
https://youtu.be/Op9YgXhjgNM?si=2l_pdq1PiNi36nQSThey dropped the Switch 2 XI trailer btw
They also had a new X video on the first stream. Good, it leaves more room for consequential announcements on the real event.
>>568440603
10 Minutes until DQM4!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRKyyK7S-Zw
>>568440951>/dqg/ being tricky devils before DQXII
>>568441236is it a free update?
>>568442760Extremely doubtful
>only 400 people waiting dead franchise
>>568442965Nip video has 108k
>>568442965I'm seeing 11k for english
Last message before 12 is revealed to the world!

>>568443076*17k now
>5 mins just for thislol
Oh boy I'm so excited for the new Ashlynn spinoff game
>restart devit's over
>restart of developmentoof
ah yes, the DQ9 remake
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
It’s….ugly
>>568443734>Beyond DreamsWell...
finally a crackhead protagonist
>>568443908It looks just like Dragon Quest XI
He looks like a fucking rat
bro I wanted a dark game with girl who was a slave that was from them fake leaks??
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT
Someone post the protagonist, I'm at work so i can't watch the stream.
KawakiGODS we WON.
Anyone else get the feeling they chose to play it extremely safe after Toriyama died?
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
What's up guys XI here
DQV LOLIS
>>568444057Liggers could be here...
VG Cats is gone...
What a fucking mess, at least loli Bianca and Flora saved the stream slightly
>No DeboraOVER OVER OVER OVER IT'S OVER
deboracucks left in the dust roflmao
>>568442214lol
Straight cheeks
Wait…that’s it???? That’s the 40th anniversary stream?
>Didn't give up on MonstersBased>>568444243Gotta save something for 4 Pro
>>568443741>>568443758i guess we will never learn what the meaning of life is now...
>>568444057>>568444202i feel like these are actually the same character
Fuck, this was so disappointing. The new dq monsters is nice but it barely showed anything. Too bad we'll never know what the real 12 was like and why it was cancelled.
Tfw no debora lolipussy>>568444202
I mean I'm surprised at how shit it was 12 protag I think will grow on me but the lizard is straight uglyAnother monsters game? Cool I guess dark prince was ehhhhhh but whatever That's it?Not even a new line of merch lol, was this stream last moment? I mean surely you would think merch would be advertised for the 40thNo another remake coming on the wayNo release datesJust 2 announcements
A MONSTERS GAME THAT ISN'T SHIT AND IN DEV HELL FOR 7 YEARS?WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK
>Only 1 prediction right At least it's a new monsters game. No IX THOUGH.How the stream made it sound, XII is going to before any new remakes.
>>568444057It's Konqi! He's all grown up!
>>568444013Please understand, he hasn't had a good sleep in months
>>568444202just realised he has bags under his eyes because of the whole dreaming thingmf gets no sleep
>>568444469Oh you're right, same armor. It's a dual world dream thing 6 niggas won......
>dragon quest 12 original concept scrapped before dragon quest 12>dragon quest 12 restarted development before dragon quest 12>dragon quest 12 not finished in time for the 40th anniversary before dragon quest 12>new monsters game before dragon quest 12>neither game shown off for the 40th anniversary finished before dragon quest 12
>>568444469>>568444664They could just be part of the same army before leaving for their adventure
You know who else dreams?
>>568444429for a moment there i thought they were gonna say "we scrapped the original XII game, so the actual XII is gonna be this and the original XII is gonna be this other spin off", sucksat least we finally put the "XII is gonna be dark and modern and western and shit" thing to rest>>568444473>but it barely showed anythingit didn't show anything at all, it's basically the same thing they did with the "Monsters game starring Erik and Mia" that never happened
>>568444057That is ridiculously ugly. And so is this >>568444202 fucking zoomer.
Comfy
im assuming that since theres been 50 posts in 20 minutes that dq12 has been revealed. if its not im gonna be disappointed in you guys
>>568444884>that dq12 has been revealedIn a monkey's paw way, yeah
>>568444749they did you the biggest favor, you can keep this going forever cause the XII you were referring to is never going to happen now
>>568444856If it was this or epic grim darkBros Im going to be real.Toriyama art in grim dark sounds better
>>568444884It has but they only showed the MC running around the map and like 5 seconds of cutscenes
>>568444870I'll have to rewatch the footage since I was so distracted by the weird characters but the world seems to look nice enough.
>>568444856terrible mc design and will look incredibly out of place in future lineups of the series protags
>>568444870reminds me of that SaGa 2 remake they did recentlywouldn't be surprised if it was the same guys
>mfw people seething about MC's design>He's just a modernized A16????People hate the GOAT???
No more flames of fate
12!12!12!Beyond the Dream!
>>568444812>"Monsters game starring Erik and Mia" that never happenedthat game happened, it was just reworked from a Monsters game into Treasures
>>568444982Nah they showed a cute girl and a dragon man who might also be the MC.
>>568444990He just needs a better outfit >>56844501512's Hero should've been as wide as a house too then
>>568444971The best possible version of what they announced could've been really cool.
>>568445015it’s not modernized 16, it’s a twink from sandland in dragon quests setting for some reason
>>568445120>>568445147I just hate the yellow pants dude... if he had trunks fit that would've been something cool.
fake?
I do kinda like the idea of those round toriyama style vehicles
>>568445084that's my point, they showed so little the game could straight up become a completely different game next yearnot that it's necessarily a bad thing mind you, but still
I can't believe Joker got his own mainline game now he's all grown up
>>568444202This guy looks like he was designed for the Flames of Fate version but because they couldn't get a new design from Toriyama for the reboot they just had to keep using him.
>>568444057I need to fuck that thing....
Cлишкoм мнoгo пocтoв!
sandland poisoned toriyamas designs
>>568445426sybau
>>568445296This sounds fake from the getgo, it's dragon questIt's going to be about hero boy casting spells and using the attack command to fight goofy monsters saving a town from its problem 9-11 times than fighting the big bad demon, or time lord, or whatever
>>568445296We'll never know, because they restarted development and scrapped whatever flames of fate was.
>>568445383Joker's hair is way cooler
>>568444971>Toriyama art in grim dark sounds betterokay tablos
He reminds of 16 and Tapion. Guess zoomers wanted another Gohan or something.
>>568445385Doubt, it was likely scrapped before his death
>>568445327seems like they took a lot of inspiration from Sandland this time around
The heros design looks fineIt's possibly the least interesting thing. Like none of you posted the girl, yet? Wtf?The dragon furry looks like dogshit 100% tho
>le heckin pupperino kawai baitNew Monster Game baby! This is gonna be sick and I'm gonna annoy the living shit out of this general when the demo and the gaem releases.Stream was shit. Protag is ugly as fuck. Still no release date. Nothing really said. No release date for monsters. Not even a trailer. Only a sloppy animated teaser.Overall 4/10. 40th anni was not honored.
>>568445543we wanted a non sid the sloth eyed character, literally just change his eyes and the design is fine >>568445643ugly tattooed bpd whore
They should make a cute girl only dragon quest
>>568445643>none of you posted the girl, yet?Yeah she's cute
>>568445671I could see Monsters being next yearDQ12 probably depends on how many assets from the trashed version of the game they can reuse
...said no one ever.
>>568445530>TablosLol fuck that guy, Spainard/French DB fans are the worse.I mean something akin to this.
>>568445671>what if platypunk but dogthey know what they're doing
>>568445327i hate the idea of vehicles in dragon quest extremely bad
>>568445729The entire point is that he's supposed to look tired due to a lack of sleep.
She saved the game
>>568445671>didn't cut the black barsYeah I put about as much effort into it as they did for the super special 40th anni announcement.
Honestly they should have just released a statement when the game was rebooted to adjust people's expectations. Hyping up an event to say that feels so weird.
>>5684458132029 at the earliest and im not joking >>568445942the eyebags aren’t the issue it’s that he has sid the sloth eyes
>>568445779>>568445949armpit fanart bait.........
Mнe oчeнь любoпытнa дaтa выхoдa.
>>568446020I remember when they slightly adjusted the original logo a couple of years after the first announcement. Between this and Treasures/DQM3 I'd love to know what the hell's been going on behind the scenes.
>>568445949Why does the game look like the tenkaichi 3 opening (derogatory)
>>568445813If 'coming soon' does not mean this summer or year im gonna flip.
>>568445949
>>568446296Soon™ never means anything until there's an actual dateIf it was this summer they would've just said so now
>this was designed by *Toriyama*We hired Fenyo again, but please buy the game!
>>568445949I think, whatever this style is supposed to be, its ugly. It has that weird puppet style. Man that was disappointing. Considering FF7-3 is set for next year, I think DQ12 will be 2028 earliest.
>>568446296They said they're "hoping to release it before XII", so.....lol.
>>568445949Hate the current trend of ultra realistic lighting and backgrounds mixed with anime aesthetic for the characters that always makes them look like they are made of plastic
>>568445779>>568445949Poor man's Red, but I hope she's also over 30
>>568445919isn't this zetman guy? fuck he designed some hotties god damn
>>568446524They probably used some Bird Studio LLM and called it Akira Toriyama™Just taking a mick here.
>>568445296The original, scrapped, 12 perhaps.We'll never know.
>>568446515>>568446583Yeah, I'm gonna flip
>>568446626DQ8 and the spinoffs around that time are still the best DQ has ever looked.
>itt people that only remember parts of Z that they saw on TV and none of the movies or any of toriyama's other work
The video's in 4k apparently
>>568446763Agreed fully, i think also the opening cutscene for ix is pretty and that style would work for an entire game
>toriyamafag mad that people don’t just dick suck every design he has ever made sandland fucking sucked
>>568446902
So with the new DQM we got spin-offs of 4,5,6,7,8 and 11 characters as kids now
Insane how normal decade+ long dev cycles are becoming, this is going to kill the industry if they can't fix this and release more than one DQ in a generation
>>568445075Youre welcome
>>568446012>main gimmick is going to be day/night cycletrue innovation never seen before in the series thanks Horii-san
>>568447173Maybe we'll go to the sun and moon. Space travel!
>>568445075Flames of Fate got Versus XIII'd
>>568447090
ummm hd2d bros…[Spoiler] would be funny if new monsters was a hd2d title [/Spoiler]
>>568447080it did, but it also happened in fucking 2000people are acting like it was a recent thing that fucked up Toriyama's designs
>>568444996IIRC the Romancing SaGa 2 remake had some people who worked on DQ11, so it wouldn't be a stretch to assume there's some crossover.
>>568442214I just wanted to point out that I'm literally the only person in the world who predicted a new monsters gaem.My clairvoyance is strong and channeled.
>>568447310because he has done good designs since, especially for dragon quest. the mc is just not a good design for the central character even if it still screams toriyama
>>568447273
>>568447080I mean half of dragon ball sucked even before super
>>568447271pipe down, you'll attract him.
anyone else find kinda creepy that the protags of the new monsters game are the two brides from V ?these two aren't even friends, they just happen to be two potential love interests for the MC yet they make a game centered around these two together ? bruh
>>568446515>>568446583My nigga Watabou wouldn't do me dirty like that.
>>568447271are you saying....WE GOT ROBBED?!!
soo its uglier blue dragon?
>>568447417The hero designs are almost always the least interesting whatever aspect of dragon quest. Good hero designs in the series go3 I like the cloth armor tunic look a lot5 I like the turban shepard design because It looks like a guy who uses monsters. 8 is a classic design, no need to explain.That's it The rest of them are whatever, or just kinda bad like 1 6 and 11
>>568447551Yeah, they should've made it about two sisters.
>>568447271>
>>568447551Right, it would make more sense to be Deb and Flora. But Bianca is way more marketable though so we'll get her
>>568447551we are molesting lil flora
>>568447439
>>568447248>the withered worldwouldn't be surprised if we finally get to see the Dead Tree (or whatever it was called) mentioned in 1 and 2
>>568447551I don't think their protags, prob just party members for the story and you can like date one as a little girlfriend or somethingIdk nera is a nothing character who only exists because it was probably neat to technically have a choice on the original
UUUUUUOOOOHwho are these girls again? Erik's sister and .. uhh?
How hard we suicido when new monsters is in the art style of 7 reimagined?
We were robbed.
>>568447760
>>568447868Bianca and Flora. DQV.
>>568447897I liked how 7 remake look, the issue was the cut content and the baby holding to the point it no longer feels like an adventure
>>568447868Your wife, and your wife
>>568447868That’s Bianca and Flora cuh
>>568447868>anyone else find kinda creepy that the protags of the new monsters game are the two brides from Vnevermind im retarded
>>568447760>>568447937i only now noticed the bow, sword and shield are all on thereThis is gonna be a botw clone
>>568447371thank you for using your manifestation powers anon3 made me lose all hope for the series but I want to believe 4 is going to be on par with the good entries
I don't think it looks good bros... hope the gameplay looks interesting
give me the tldr what did they announce? are they doing another remake?
12 isn't going to come out until the PS6 is out, the PS5 is truly and utterly cursed
Debora will get memory holed in the inevitable 5 hd-2d remake
>>568448127Oh lol you're probably right but desu I'm down for a more open ended dq game. The orb hunt of 3 on snes is the peak of the series. Most of the games going forward is just go to town, go to nearby dungeon go back to town go to next town
>>568447080>sandland fucking suckedwhat are you talking about sandland is kino
>>568447937
>>568447760https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSHbbTcbcds
>Dreams theme>Dragon people>potentially two worlds the mc travels between>Logo has a castle/tower amongst cloudsXII might be “XI, but for the Zenithian trilogy”.
>>56844820112 restarted development but they showed a little bit of it this timeMonsters 4 soon™
>>568445949>tattoo>save something
>>568447908she will be the rival
>>568448259
>>568447271will Horii's heart ever let go?
Someone pointed out the reason Bianca has a ponytail instead of pigtails is because she gave one of her ribbons to the protagonist.
She's literally best girl wtfFuck you
>>568448427That'd be extremely kino.
>>568447937square enix hired that man
>>568448439
>>568444202Basic design may have been based on something done by Toriyama but the end result seems to be done by Toyotaro (due to the neck position and eyes) and finished by AI (due to the way the character is colored).
>>568447937Visions of Mana
Respect them for dropping TFoF, really really dislike the MC/Lizard. Worst one together with VI for me. Scope feels small, but that might not a bad thing. Hope it’s gonna be a fun adventure
>>568448721It's just nuToriyama's artstyle, he has done that kind of neck a couple of times before.
>>568448316thats what I was thinking too
>>568448716
>>568448131They saw what they did with the subpar digimon franchise and i think it's gonna be at least as good as the last digimon game.If they have some fire in them maybe it's gonna be great.I think dqm3 wasn't THAT bad. Except for the none existing post game and the egg hunting before the patch of course. And the empty world. And the 1000 recolors.It had potential.
>>568448889
>>568432051i bought monsters and it turns out theyre out of keys
>>568449061you don't get a full view of it but lizardman is wearing the same belt with a symbol the MC has, just yellow
>>568449061Why are you ugly?
>>568448553Too corny for nu DQ
>>568449440She's safe-corny.
>>568449061What a cutie
>designs by Toriyama and music by SugiyamaThe guys that were dead for years?
>>568449061
>>5684479827 remake on 3ds? Yeah it’s pretty. 7 reimagined though? the worst art direction ever in the history of the dragon quest franchise
>>568449256haven't seen that before>>568449560kek
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsYz_CVdowA&t=271sAYY LMAO
what's his problem?
>>568448037they're adding child marriage to the game?
>>568447447so true Dr.Mashirito
>>568449849Tired of life, perhaps.
>>568447760Bro this looks really bad. The head looks completely out of place and there is no way in hell they are gonna scrap this shit for a fourth time.Grim
>>568449630

>>568447760>Fallout 4 leather armor pieces
Honestly I'm just surprised that we finally.FINALLY.Got something.Regardless of how it looks or this or that, finally getting anything almost doesn't feel real. It's a similar feeling for the waiting of Digimon Time Stranger finally getting shown after 7 years of it first being mentioned.
Now that the dust has settled, what do we think about the announcement?
>>568450506Its going to be the DQ11 equivalent for 4/5/6.
I've had the strong feeling that DQXII would be heavily reworked from the original concept when we finally saw it. It always happens when a project goes dormant for so long. I'm still stinging from SMT x FE. I am surprised that they went as far as changing the title, though.>>568448427>SMELL YA LATER
>>568450313Can't unsee Fuck
I like the hoverbike thing
>>568450506Unfortunately, not a whole lot of good things.Art style is what I feared it'd be. They always adapt the GC movie style for the next game since X and the Heroes games, so the art style alone is incredibly unappealing to me.Not a single character in there that looks good or appealing.Battle System or Menus haven't been shown yet, but going by how handholdy VII-R was, it's probably going to be just that.I'll probably just call it a day, count XI as the final DQ and treat everything after it as fanfiction.Happy for the people that are excited, though.
>>568450065Idk anything about dr slump, I don't even think it's just the buu arc, I remember being really bored watching original dragon ball especially around the red ribbon arc
>>568450896>5 minutes and already doomposting like if its all over
>>568450896Drama queen>>568449658Nah I really like the environments in that game and the character models are a little weird but you get used to it fairly quickly and it blends all together after that. Wouldn't mind more games in that style, I think the 2d hd style is Far uglier and more generic. my favorite looking dq game is prob xThe Early blocky but still trying too look high poly late 6th-7th gen console is peak
>>568451056nips are dooming harder on futaba
>>568450475Difference is Time Stranger looked good and had kino designs
I'm not really feeling it, but they barely showed anything so I'll give it time. I do worry about them playing extremely safe after their attempt on doing something different flamed out though.
>>568451217futaba is japanese 4chan.
>>568451212HD2D is more generic than Grok please generate Unreal Engine Baldurs Gate 2 but Nippon?
>>568447760that's just the blue dragon protag
You can bitch about a lot of things with XII, but art style? It's looks like a next gen XI.
>>568451439I have no idea what point you think you're making but you're annoying.
>>568447868But I don't want to play as girls...Jokes aside it is kinda surprising that they only did a male/female option for one game and it was by splitting them into two different games. With the more self-inserty nature, you'd think they'd at least allow that, at least outside of games featuring an existing protagonist.
>>568451504he grew up and hasn't had a good night's sleep since then>>568451554people love to find anything to complain about, its how you engagement bait on the modern internet
I'm pretty sure he just means the ugly ass characters
>>568451217That’s why they are /our/ niggas>>568451554XI was already pushing it with what was acceptable with the cartoony meets realism, it was just on the line for me and that’s why I preferred the switch version which scaled it down a bit
>>568451601I'm a lazy bitch, where's the girl for me
>>568451586Grok please make this man stop bullying me and my Unreal Engine megablocks but nippon!!!
>>568451808Grown ass man posting this btw
>>568451586He's being obnoxious about saying it looks like AI
>>568451868But it doesn't? It looks like the links awakening remake and In my opinion it looks good. Thought it looked good on reveal I think it looks good now. The 2d hd style is so generic fucking RPG maker is making it the default
>>568451854Getting ass raped by a grown ass nigga and admitting it btw
I'm happy with what we got today, sadly no dates.About the visuals, I like the designs, I just don't like the UE look in general. I like X art style way more than XI which unfortunately is what they are using for XII.
>>568452028The Link's Awakening remake also looks bad.FWIW I don't think the 3DS version of DQ7 looks good either, the only acceptable version of 7 is on PS1.
>>568452069/V/ fags infesting /vg to shitpost Go back
>>568452028it doesn’t look like the links awakening remake, everything in that looked like a toy while 7re looks like dolls on a diorama , everything was much more textured which led to the uncanny nature of it to many people. rpg makers hd2d doesn’t even look the same as squenixes
>>568451601>yfw they are just your sidekicks
>>568452240Ive been posting here for years and sometimes even dabble in a little ogre sex of another ogre sexer isn’t already sexing them
>>568452224Nah I think it looks good and so does the majority of people with its art style always being a high point of praise for both products btw It doesn't matter, I don't really take any of your opinions on this site to heart with it mostly just being shit posting from retards with zero awareness
Anything sleep related is going to make me immediately think of VI, would be neat if there's an actual connection
I just can't buy the idea of the MC and dragon knight guy being one and the same. But then again, I doubt there'd be two sword wielding yuusha's. Separate realms? Transformation?
> Woven with characters by Akira Toriyama and music by Koichi Sugiyama, this title tells the story of a protagonist who sees mysterious dreams.From the official DQ xitter account.“Woven” is such a specific word it feels like a tease about the game. Maybe the dual worlds will have some sort of traditional craft vs technology theme.
>>568452249The dq1-3 remakes look far more generic and ugly than the dq7 one Like I rather just play the NES versions over them. I genuinely do not get what anyone sees in 2d hd since like triangle strategy but desu even octopath looked ugly as fuck compared to bravely default chunky 3d models
>>568452405Shit posting is when people don’t eat up the Grok Disney Yassify Action Figure Dragon Quest 7 Cut everything with flavor in the game 70 dollar extravaganza
>>568452454have you heard of a game called legend of zelda a link to the past
>>568212303Did he know
>>568452692You write like a retard, why should anyone take you seriously?
>>568452662If you think Bravely Default 2 looks better than Octopath i think you might genuinely be retarded and i say that as someone who thinks Octopath is hideous
>>568452662I don't mind the HD2D when you can turn the ridiculous amount of bloom/depth of field offAt that point its just what PS1 and the DS ports had going on with sprites on a 3D map
so are they just not gonna post a dedicated XII trailer or what? They posted the monsters one right away
DRAGON QUEST SIS, NOT LIKE THIS
>>568452835You think like one, looks like we are at a stand still slowmo
>>568452916https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsYz_CVdowA&t=271s
>>568452916Looks like it's staying stuck to the update video. Probably to maintain context of not expecting the game anytime soon.
I’m more convinced then ever they restarted production from scratch in response to FFXVI bombing
SE market stock dropping after the 12 trailer LMAOOO
>>568452867It does look better, we should have moved on from sprites like 2 decades ago.Sprites have only looked good when they are low res and desu not even that good still. I'm not blown away by sprite art, never was and never will be. It was just what we had until tech allowed for more.If I had my way most games would look like mid budget ps2 games like the dq5 remake or at most early gen 7Sticking a fucking ton of depth of field and featureless green realistic bricks of land for ultra hd sprites to walk on top of looks bad.The dq7 remake looks good, fuck you. I won't back down on this
>>56845314199% they were gonna make it an action game but scrapped it just like what happened with 9
>>568452952This is Hood Quest now
>>568453201>Sprites have only looked good when they are low res and desu not even that good stillStopped reading right there, you have no taste, same type of retard that would say they can’t watch old anime because it doesn’t fill the entire screen
>>568453201Incredibly bad taste
>>568453141I mean the game got into trouble ever since the guy that got Naka into trouble got demoted to mobile games
Im a little out of the loop, why do people think it looks bad? Character designs are cool and i like the futuristic rustic style. It has that realistic ue4-5 shading but dq11 kinda did too until the switch version which was somehow less shiny and more colorful became the default version.
>>568453141100%>>568453201This will be a really good screenshot to slander all 7reimagined fans in the future, thank you
>>568453351Nigga ps2 was 4:3 retardSprites don't look good, why do you think people only ever seem to onions about old sprites they have nostalgia for and not the 3000000 indie games with far more impressive work because the steam store is packed with 2d games that blow any 2d art square made out of the water easily lol.Hint, they don't have nostalgia, nobody actually cares about the sprites themselves
>>568453141You must be from /v/ to think that was the reason and not internal shuffling and Toriyama fucking dying.
>>568453490>futuristic rustic style>the game is dragon questthere is your answer >>568453567people hype up sprite based Indy games all the time? binding of isssac, super meat boy, shovel knight, crypt of the necrodancer, cave story, terraria, undertale and whatever its gay cousin is called. you are just fundamentally tasteless and should stop acting like you sniff the flowers when you truly rolling around in the dirt beneath them
>>568452662I think the new sprites are great, and the battle ones are insanely pretty, but the 3D parts of the "HD 2D" doesn't look good in any game.I like the remakes though, they look way better than those Octopath games, my only complaint is not having a running animation for the sprites.
>>568453141This is why we make fun of Yoshi P
Dinosaur DNA
>>568453490Character designs look bad IMO. The protag looks better in CG than the official art but he's still weird, the girl and green man feel like NPCs from Treasures or something.The rest I think looks basically fine, I far prefer the DQ8 cel-shaded style over what 11 did but I wasn't expecting anything else.
>>568453141I'm more convinced that you're retarded.
>>568453723And why would there be internal shuffling if not for major releases dramatically underperforming?
I truly believe that someday we'll play Flames of Fate in one way or anotherI can feel it in my bones
>>568452298>you get to choose your bride at the beginning of the gameI wouldn't be surprised honestly
The moment Versus XIII got mentioned, this thread was doomedNow you'll get a firsthand look at why /ffg/ is unusable
The screenshots of the environments look good, but when you see it in motion it looks a bit weird
>>568453795Nobody hypes up undertale for the art lolI already said my piece, sprite and 2d are overrated slop that people only deal with from limitations like solo dev or because they are man children baseding out over something they are nostalgic for. and I hope you fags enjoy your 3000000th out of the press ai 2d hd rpgmaker game
>>568453567>Sprites don't look goodThis dude never played FFBE
>>568453141>tfw. we will never have a shitty Dragon Quest game with the characters saying "fuck" every 2 minutes...why even live bros...
>>568454230Would look more impressive and immersive in 3d
>we lost flames of fateor maybe they just changed the name calm down hombre
>>568454350Well I guess you better go back to the 2010s and get yourself a 3D TV
>>568454087FF16's budget is obviously peanuts compared to 7R and it sold millons on a far shittier console in terms of install base compared to 15 and 7ROnly SE's investors (especially the activist grifter) are retarded enough to call that under performing.
>>568454403They restarted, be prepped to hear annoying people talk about it like versus for the next 10 years
>>568454187plenty of people love undertales art and aesthetic, you have to ignore that though to fit your pathetic narrative. sprite based games are still made because there is still a huge market for it
>>568454403It'll come back as Dragon Quest Type 0
>>568454664Lol they are made because it's cheap and easy to do with low man power
>>568454495They brought any speculation on themselves by turning the first DQM3 project into Treasures.
>>568454141They'll recycle the plot for Heroes 3
>>568454187Awww poor baby who called me pathetic for calling 7re Grok slop is now using the same insult, sooo adorable. Glad daddy could teach you new insults, sorry it took your small brain a little to understand it, maybe next you can understand your own retardation? Cheers
Dq smash and grab hero always looked a little well designed. I wouldn't be shocked if that was the original fate of flames protag repurposed when they restarted
>>568454495Fair to miss the concept but people treat versus 13 like it wasnt vaporware its so annoying. It didnt look playable or real
>>568454739you understand people also make sprite based fanart and commission it right? not just in games but for their own personal enjoyment because people genuinely do like how it looks? again you are just wrong and delusional but that’s okay
>>568454839 it's literally going to the the default art style of shitty actually can be created by ai in an afternoon rpgmaker games dummy What more proof do you need that 2d HD is not easily mass produced?
Im more so concerned that they legit restart development again. I love dragon quest but holy fuck man, this cant be sustainable for modern gaming can it? Its insane that in college i loved dq11 and now im mid 30s with still no new game. I might get to play 2 more dragon quests before im elderly
All we knew from the flames of fate came from 30 seconds of Horii talking right after it was announced, and somehow retards took it as confirmation that it was gonna be an ultra dark a gritty action rpg.
>>568454990Yeah I seen those and went hmmm and stopped giving a shit in a second like 99.9% of people. Because it's just a 2d image. That's it, you look at it go okay, but theirs no depth.People host contests on who can take the biggest shit
>>568455105Look at the little guy go! My Grok comments must have really hit you where it hurt if you are keeping this up, keep going little guy! Sure Elon Musk will high five you epicly!!!
>>568455240Did the 7r lead touch you little bro, you seem a little too invested with your feelings on it?
>>568455238you know a painting is also a 2d image?
>>568455378You can’t no u me when i did it first btw pls learn your place little puppy
Modern gaming is so fucked dude. Like if they release a mediocre numbered dragon quest game it should be no big deal, hopefully the next one is better. Now you gotta wait 10 years and shit, it has to be the best game ever.
>>568455379And how many people do you know that actually care about looking at paintings like actually care and not just larping because I know it's fucking 0 lol ? Like good point, I remember taking my girl out to a museum and the only remotely intresting art was statues and weird little modern art thingsThe paintings was just fucking around pondering my chin at it to get a laugh out of her.
>>568455227I've seen some comments to the effect of XII-kun being a holdover from that initial version and I really don't see it at all. We've done darker DQ before, and that has never meant a darker looking protagonist. He looks like Joker's protagonist.
>>568455558I blame Rockstar personally
>XII-kunSTOPDON'T CONJURE ANOTHER ONE
>GKC>Cannot upgrade if you have the SW1 versionI really hate square enix
So no female hero? Is it really that big of a problem? I would still pick male but it does seem weird that square won't give the option.
>>568455601museums wouldn’t exist if people didn’t go there and pay money to see art, they also would not have any art preserved from before our time if no one cared about them
>>568455712It's fated, anon.I'm sorry.
>>568455161Not gonna happen at this point. If there's footage it's coming out, for better or worse.
>>568455716Play it on PC retard, pirate it if you want
>>568455881Brother the museum is where you take women at when you don't have any other good date ideasDon't tell me you're impressed by paintings, my brain requires a little more substance than a picture Lol but you would go far as a caveman, this get your little peanut brain activated?>Woah my peanut size brain registers it as like a deer, that's ummmmmmm *snooze*
>>568455847DLC
>>568447271does that mean y'all are gonna get your own perma-schzoid too?
>>568456073I did, and I already have it on disk for PS4. I just hate square enix.
>>568447271Original XII will probably just have its elements folded over into other games.I think the anon who said the MC likely became Smash/Grow's MC is onto something, and it's world ideas + monster designs will probably be sprinkled in throughout DQ for the next few years.
>>568456214How’s summer vacation Timmy? Is it Bussin?
>>568455847He becomes a Body Type B in the dream world.
>>5684564764chan schizos are just retarded subhumans that are desperate for attention. Can't get that in a thread that gets 5 to 10 posts a day.
Exposing my limited knowledge here, but how many new enemies does a main DQ game usually introduce? I'd figure aside from bosses, this game could easily get away with just reusing the X and XI bestiary.
DQM4 at least has announced platforms so I imagine it's a 2027 game. DQ12 still doesn't even have that.
>>568456826M4 isn’t even finished yet since they said “hope to release before 12”
So no Dragon Quest game this year? Do they really think the phone game counts lol
>>568456825Its going to be 7R/X/XI's bestiary.>>5684570127R came out in Feb. Discounting that, yes no "new" games.
>>568456875I know but I think he said it more tongue in cheek, like "I hope this doesn't end in development hell like most recent dqs have"
>>568456602Yeah looking at the smash/grow mc he looks like he would fit in a more mature darker game, far more than a wacky arcade mobile game.Who knows but if we find out in a couple of years, it wouldn't be too crazy to find out it wasn't a repurposed design
>>568457168I forgot that shit released kek
Why is this thread going so fast?JkMc looked like Yooka laylee And loli Debbie never ever
Lot of nip dq accounts on Twitter are displeased with the designs too, rare
>>568457012There are also several other phone games to release new content for :)
Dqx is getting it's final expac this year
Debbie's an NPC so she can speakRomi Park needs a paycheck
>>568457635v8 should be July from what I remember. But it being the last one was announced I think last year.
The title with the castle in the back looks like a ff title
I think the protag looks better in 3D than in the character art
>>568455716Honestly im thankful i held out for so longBut i could just buy DQXIS on PC anyways
Im not gonna doom, im sure the game itself will turn out good. I will doom about dev cycles, how the fuck is this game gonna live up to 12 years of waiting
>>568456476Depends if people really like what they cook up now and then.
>>568459201I mean idk now that they switched focus from something new and possibly a disaster to a standard dq game.Who cares, it's going to come out and I'm going to go "this is pretty good"Move on and wait for the next one.
I like himhttps://x.com/bykillt/status/2059660590470344869/
>>568457469Loli Debora can't happen cuz she's gonna expose her pubes at such a ripe age
DQ VI times 2
>>568460173He's literally kinda me but late zoomer
Why does the MC look like a drug addict? Jesus Christ. And they changed the title and direction entirely without telling anybody before this stream? Really weird decision.>>568459428>consume product and get excited for next product
>>568460173It's possible to make him look decent but the actual official art really doesn't. Reminds me of a lot of modern Pokemon characters
>>568460505>why does a guy who can't sleep look tired and worn out
>>568460505Yes Anon, it's dragon quest. I have already played this game like 8 times now I think.We are no longer in possibly interesting risky territory. It will still probably be good but let's not pretend dragon quest is not the ultimate safe franchise.
ARE THOU FEELING IT NOW, MR. KRABS?
>>568445949>>568445779Are these even the same model?
I for one am looking forward to art of loli Bianca and Flora getting violated by monsters
I'm happy we are getting Toriyama robots/machines again.
>>568446634She's probably 28 or something The cake is getting a tad stale.
>>568461930Same, I really liked it in chrono trigger
>>568461930I was always forgiving of the idea of DQ going in a mildly sci-fi direction solely because of Toriyama's machine designs.
>>568446637Yeah, and I wish he was working on the Dragon Ball manga instead of Toyotarou (or work with him at least).Read Shadow Lady btw, shit's a hot read.
>>568447271
Absolute garbage. Fortnite 12
Yuusha is….a tired man
I kinda like how fucked up he looks. I dont think its the hair cut thats the issue, its the clothes they’re more plain than usual.
>they skipped 3What le fuck
Checking in on the legendary 8 unlisted videos
No BuildersI sleep
Horii still can get it up
>>568464658Somebody get warrior-chan some seeds of strength and life, stat

>>568464658That's Naz Chris right?
>>568464658>spatsCoward!Unless Horii holds a secret photo of her in the classic fashion
>>568461930I would be if it wasn’t Dragon Quest
How does it make you feel that XII is going to be Horii's last game
I don't know if it's the hair, the eyes, the model or a combination of those, but the MC looks off. I don't like the lizard form much either but the redhead is cute.
>>568467263He said before it wasn’t but maybe it will be because it won’t finish till like 2030
>>568460173I like him too, Probably the sort of character I would make with the editor if there was one. In some parts the face looks kind of off thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCRie0bKvtEAnyway, I don't dislike this but it looks surprisingly...classic, considering all they have been saying all these years about making it more serious/adult/dark whatever (as if DQ wasn't dark enough under that colorful coat of paint)
The last time a game that I was highly anticipating had it's development restarted it turned out to be a disaster.I really, REALLY hope it doesn't happen again.
I have played every DQ except for X
>>568467774>Both have "Beyond" in the titleLook forward to meeting your new companion Slimes Mackenzie!
>restarted developmentdamn Horii won't even be here when it is finished...
>the 8 unlisted videos are still unlistedWhat does it mean, Healie?
>>568468076Oh fuck I didn't even notice that. Now I'm worried.
Bro needs some sleep
>>568467535He's 72 and the last one of the DQ trio still aliveThe man does not have another DQ in him
>>568466140I remember them being blue ingame
>>568466454It isn't like DQ didn't have machines before. I think X has more than most DQs combined though
Did they forget someone here hmmm
Just saw the streamSTARTED OVER FROM SCRATCH?LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO6? years of development into the trash just like that
>>568454141They'll recycle the plot for Builders 3
>>568467941It’s a 5/10Genuinely hardly a game
>rebootBut why
>>568467774Metroid prime 4 flopped because at some point, retro studios thought it was a good idea to copy breath of the wild, only realizing how terrible that idea was when it was too late. Even if fate of flames was heading in a different direction from the classic style, it’s still a dragon quest game, so I highly doubt they were making a complete 180 degree turn with that game.But anyway, only time will tell
>>568468518Im fine with ancient machine enemies appearing sparsely, i dont like vehicles or trains or other shit
>>568468671>>568468863Japan hated FFXVI so much that they probably didn't want to repeat it with one of the most beloved JP franchises, and get killed by angry middle aged dudes
>>568468638She's just out of frame.
>>568468974I haven't played FFXVI so i have no idea what you meanDid they turn it into action?Did they scratch the artstyle for le generic unreal engine 6 asian face?If any of these was true even for a moment, the franchise is already dead anyway.
>when 12 releases anon will unironically be able to say dragon quest 12 before dragon quest 12 because it isn’t the same game holy shit

>>568469153lmao
I really hate the current state of gamingWe used to get masterpiece sequels in a year now its either 5 or 10 years or never ever. Even then they might not be what we expectedLook at tales after Arise, Persona, SMTNot to mention they like to milk you with remakes and shit instead
Don't let /ffg/ schizos infest this general

>>568469128It's a grim 'n' gritty DMC clone. XV was already the worst action game ever made though, so the series was already long gone.>>568469403It sucks, man. I'm not a huge fan of modern RE or Yakuza but at least they can put out more than one game per decade.
>>568444202His barber fucked up his hair.
Wait.You're I'm some king of dragon... with a quest?
>>568445671>Dog mascot monster in game with 2 female protagsYOU JUST KNOW
>>568468403I like the hair, the costume palette is a bid off but still like the outfit in general.The face itself is ok too, but there is something really weird.As if the face was way too cocentrated in the middle of the face or something

>>568470539considering what they did with XI, its not surprising
>>568470357i thought i was the only one retarded enough to see some parallels when i posted this >>568443824
>>568470539>>568470597There was tons of that in 1+2 HD. I don't want it but I wouldn't be surprised at all.
>>568468638Debora is the actual protag and those 2 are side characters
>>568468781I think it would help a lot if you didn't need to know nip in order to socialize. The translation stuff is nice and all, but yeah going through the story gets pretty boring.
>>568468638Even if these two are the playable characters it would be pretty disappointing if Debora, Harry and I guess Crispin weren't still in it after DQM3 had IV's entire cast and even fucking Tintin Trubble.
Didn't they say that they wanted to give DQXII more of a serious tone and whatnot?I even remember those logos over scorched earth and such. It seems they ditched entirely that apporach and went for classic style?
>>568471341They completely restarted development. The subtitle when it was first announced was "The Flames of Fate" and now it's "Beyond Dreams".
>>568468638Only the west cares about debora

>>568473460Why are the western branch of these companies so scared of numbers?
>>568470357
>>568471494On one hand I kind of happy they sticked to classic, on another hand curiosity about what they had thought and done is killing me.I wish we could get some sketches or something of what they thought before resetting
>>568473460>"Bianca + Flora" outright in the title like Tara/CobiThis genuinely makes me sad. I just want to play a game with my favorite girl in it. It's not like it would be too much effort.
>>568473631Mc looks like drug addict, main girl looks like an scavenger
>>568471341>As we re-examined what a mainline Dragon Quest game shouuld look like, we decided to move things around and start over from scratch. it was a major decision, but I believe it was the right one to ensure the next Dragon Quest game will be one that all fans of the series will love.Maybe they'll reuse whatever "serious" and "mature" concepts they had for a side game's setting.
how did the remake of 3 do in japan? How much did it sell?
>>568448259>>568448439This was the first thing I thought when I saw her.
>>568474829a lot
>>568474829It did well, the other remakes didn't sell as much but probably enough for them to get some profit.
>>568445075BASED
>>568448439>>568475128When I saw her and the knight who is actually a green creature, I couldn't stop thinking about chrono trigger
Henlo, are we still turn based and comfy?
>>568475502No combat shown.
It tells the adventure of a protagonist who ends up seeing mysterious dreams.Rather than being dark, it’s set in a bright and exciting world full of wonder.It’s changed from the previously announced XII.

>>568473685>woah this game is like pokemon>but pokemon doesn't have numbers for their entries so this game shouldn't either better give it a subtitle jus like pokemonor>the original 1 and 2 were so long ago and the remakes were never released here in the west so putting a number on it will alienate muh new players god forbid they look up previous entries and play them
>>568475702>30 year old doomer
>Switch 2 release of DQ11>no save transfer from Switch>no upgrade option from Switch version>$40>textures and aliasing will probably look exactly the same as Switch version besides targeting 1080p60fps display, just like the PS4/PC port of 11S
>>568473685Cause even when stories aren't connected at all there's a portion of retards who would otherwise play the game that will see that its a sequel and skip it because they never played the previous one
>>568476230>"b-but do i need to play the previous entries to understand the STORY?"
pls god don’t let monsters 4 look like 7re
The dragon in the trailer is wearing armor too, you think that's also someone dreaming up their scalesona?
My first DQ was a fantranslation of V on the SNES and whenever I’ve tried to play an officially translated DQ I bounce off from the accent and regional slang-obsessed localizations
https://www.dragonquest.jp/dq40th/
>>568475702>seeing mysterious dreams.that would explain those eyes
The worst part about this is that you know DQXII Versus was the superior game
>>568477879I hate the modern translations so much
>>568477962You could show me your gratitude by putting my wife in DQM4, you fucking hack.Love you.
>>>/v/739700618Hoping he bites thisFuck this general lmao
>>568478420No lol
>>568478896That's what you get for playing demake slop and fanfic shit. You get no content.
Very strange how most DQ fans were worried about og 12 straying too far away and possibly disrespecting the legacy of the series but now that the new 12 is more in line it’s shit and awful and og would have been better? Funny people
>>568479130That's all DQ is anymore though.
>>568479279>but now that the new 12 is more in line it’s shit and awful and og would have been better?nobody is saying thisback to /v/, tourist
I'm so glad "DQ for adults" is dead
>>568468476>>568476731>>568473460>>568471837Anything of them stapping Jami in blinder, bar gag and leash yet
>>568399246RIP Flames of FateI remember seeing that tease and I love fire-related stuff, so just that lil bit got me hyped. My favourite title yet, love the alliteration. Didn't realize I'd be in for such a wait and a full restart of the game.Today's teaser trailer lowered my hype to my surprise. At first I was all excited over how gorgeous the world looked and then my least favourite MC design yet showed up. What's the name of that modern haircut where they buzz the sides and keep it on top? Can't stand it, didn't expect it here. And his art where his head juts forward on his neck with terrible posture, man, this dude looks like a bandit the hero would take out early on. Though it would be kinda kino if he actually turned out to be a bandit at the start. Not feelin' lizard dude either, but we'll see. Not a fan of the new title either.New Monsters game though! Do you guys think they'll have two versions like the old days, or will it be all in one?
>>568479393When did i say i think that? I clearly stated that’s the new opinion being thrown around, dipshit
>>568477962>the land of withered treesIT IS THE DEAD TREE GAMEfucking finallyI wanted to know what that place looked like for so long
>>568479491You failed at trying to normalize the voices in your head, back to /v/, tourist
>>568479279>Criticism of X exists, yet criticism of Y also exists?
>>568479279If you changed "DQ fans" to "Square Enix fans that mostly like FF" you would be accurate.
>>568479447Am i fucked up for wanting two versions?
>>568478891this pic makes a lot more sense now that we know of the new DQM gamereally gave me Monsters vibes like picrel
I keep going back to the trailer, and the little jump into a roll XII does at the start, it seems like too much investment into raw movement for a normal DQ.I dunno, just have me thinking there might be a real time combat system in it.
>>568479676I don't want two versions but I do want a third version.
>>568479072It is. DQ is good and all, but these are glorified RPGmaker games with how samey they all are.
>>568479591You rape babies for Hargon
>>568479863No lol
>>568479676Yes.
>>568479850Gameplay wise I hope 4 will basically be what Dark Prince Professional would've been if it had an updated versionIdeally just not having a fucked up dev cycle will help it a lot
>>568480116It would just blend better into my flora shrine if bianca wasn’t on the cover
>>568479829Could be as simple as they want running around the map to feel more exciting, 11 had a lot of invisible walls and ledges you couldn't even jump downOr a leftover of the old version
>>568479829Isn't he rolling because he jumped from a high place? This is pretty normal.
Realistically speaking, action combat in a mainline game would be worse than a transgender protagonist
>>568480513I agree?
>>568480104it iscope about it
>>568468403You could say he's beyond dreams.
>>568480812No lol
>>568480606Of course you agree, you probably enjoyed Ranma 1/2 back in the day, as long as it's tasteful and japanese,it's alright.You cannot come back from le DMC combat, it's a hydrogen nuke.
at first i hated the hair but then i found out that it's a shallow reference so now i like it :)
>>568481060wrongcan't wait until i see you cry when it's still action combat lmao
>>568481202Its so they don't have to change his hair for his scaley form
>>568481346If it's action combat why does it look like a rehash of XI?
>>568480894Sleepy-kun is growing on me. Can’t imagine ever fapping to his gf though.
Why does Twelvo and Twelva-chan look like they belong to heroes III?
>>568481142Ranma isn’t trans though is gender bender magic for comedy
>>568481346No lol
>>568481472Twelvo mostly does, but the girl has a strong Treasures vibe. I actually dislike her design enough that I completely forgot I had redhead on my wishlist.
>>568481740Redhead mage might still be an open spot, she strikes me as more of a Thief
>>568481803Instead of Shypox you'll have an option for Twelve to randomly fall asleep in battle
What are the odds Dreams began life as a sequel to Chrono Trigger?
>>568482141Zero.
>>568482265Someone once told me all female monster wranglers have hairy pussies
>>568481142Rumiko Takahashi should be the new artist for Dragon Quest
>>568468945That wasn't Retro's idea. It was something carried over from the original project. In reality, Retro realized late in development that it was going to be a bad idea but trucked with it anyway, for better or worse, rather than restart development AGAIN.Just because development restarts doesn't necessarily mean everything is scrapped. There's probably a fair few ideas Flames of Fate that are being transplanted into Beyond Dreams, too.
>>568482265She looks and dresses like an Ogre that was turned human.Ogre next game or I riot guy is probably half-pleased.
>>568481419every dq looks like a rehash of the previous one because that's their business model: selling the same game with a new skin.
>>568481850Seeing her with robots and shit makes me think she could be an artificer. Don't think DQ party members have ever had one
>>568481442its the hair, its just really bad.
>>568482398Actualy it should be Nomura
>over a decade for a sequel
>>568482475It was still Retro's idea to hire a Samus Is Trans person to write the awful story.
>>568480894Didn't the girl have longer hair?
>>568483207No one said it wasn't.
>>568477962Debora fags in shambles
>>568482360Based
I'm really starting to wonder who's idea Debora really was.She seems to get shafted more often than not.It's like Miyamoto with characters he didn't create.
>>568483095>DQM 4 (FOUR)(NOT 3)(BUT ALSO 3) BEFORE DQ12>development going smoothlyAHAHAHAHAHHA
>>568483954It was a random addition for a re-releaseI can assure you nobody at the company has thinked about her since the release.Femdom fags are so annoying>But she's actually le caring and tsundere once the game progressesokay
>>568483954Based
>>568483954They just wanted an extra selling point for the 5 remake and the wife choice is the big memorable bit and a good chunk of extra dialogue to add
For me it’s his Brittany Venti eyes
>>568482723>tfw we will never have an aryan goddess like this in a DQ game again because of the diversity consultants
>>568484482Bianca is literally in the new DQM you fucking schizo.
>>568484482Name a Square Enix game without a blonde hair, blue eyed woman.
>>568484636DQ8
>>568483954Some retard at ArtePiazza. It's funny how Horii has never acknowledge her.
>>568484854If we wanna get nitpicky there's the waitress NPCs
Nobody has mentioned the fact there's a blackman in the trailerFirst ever for the franchiseAnita doing her thing i see
>>568484601He means an Aryan goddess that doesn’t have sex with horses. Little does he know all blonde women have sex with horses. My wife Debbie isn’t in Monsters because the game’s producer is a horse.
>>568468638(not) featuring Debora from the Dragon Quest Zenithian Trilogy series
>>568485190by that logic Shitbora fucks horses too

I love Debora.
>>568486663hes like 4-5 heads tall
>>568486057That's just Ichiban.
>new monsters>it's a spinoff of a mainline (again)I wish they'd come up with original stories like the old games, am I the only one who dislikes seeing the same characters over and over again?
>>568479279As one of those people, I have to say that I don't think it's a contradiction at all. As in, I certainly want some fresh flavor approaches, but at the same time, I don't want it to derail too much into something different.As in, I don't know, maybe a setting that is more industrial and dirty while keeping the colorful and whimsical designs, sort of like Dragon Ball or Abel DQ anime or other Toriyama works.But I don't want something like... I don't know, making the characters look like J-pop idols, being set in space, and having action combat instead of turns.Is it weird that you want a small change or a coat of paint but do not want a total overhaul?
>>568487113it's an original story and you'd know if you paid attention the the subtitle which directly references something very important mentioned in both 1 and 2
>>568486057I'm pretty sure I have seen a Black character in another DQ game.
>>568487349Yeah but why does it have to be Bianca and Flora, why can't they write a new story with new characters?
>>568487357Veronica is black coded
>>568487564>Yeah but why does it have to be Terry and Milly, why can't they write a new story with new characters?
>>568487564Because it's not a Joker game.
>>568487704For some reason I thought MillyTerry came before 6, fine.>>5684877452 isn't Joker either.
>>568487891>2 isn't Joker either.Huh. You're right. Slipped my mind. I'll shut up now.
>>568487113Nope, I'm with you 100% but beggas can't be choosers. They too afraid of not linking to some previous work will lead to bad sales.But to be fair every company is like that
>>568487306Dirty industrial designs would be a bigger departure from the series standard than being set in space would be. Calasmos was an alien and Stars took place on multiple planets.
>>568488069Did Joker 3 sell worse than the 3DS remakes?
>>568479850Yeah, Debora version a la Pokemon Crystal would be nice
>>568481803He needs to have a move that only works when he's asleep in battle
>>568487607lol
>>568488372Powie Yowie spotted! Thanks for making me smile, Anon
>>568486853His head is the size of your torso
>>568489768Why does he have horrible acne
>>568489870poor hygiene
>>568489768Thanks, saved!Wow, took me a solid minute to get the joke, but now I got a sensible chuckle outta it. This has been my favourite part of DQ Day so far. Jeez, I almost forgot to actually say it: Happy Dragon Quest Day, /dqg/!>>568489870Because he's spotted
>>568471925This looks nothing like A16 though Next you're going to say Miyamoto went and saw Wrath of the Dragon for Zelda Ocarina of Time

Does holy protection ward off metal slimes in the mobile version of 1?
I assume VI will get a sequel..........oh right Terry's game already exists. what if his game is next for a 3D remake? wonder what DQV monsters preorder will consist of. what costumes. also did DQXS title get longer? Will we ever get the rough draft for Flames of Fate?>>568488372>Hero, Solo, Erdrick, and Arus eating togethermaximum soul
>>568493324Doesn't that spell always ward off metal slimes?
what if they're reusing the characters from flames of fate with a new story? you think yuji horii will tell us about development struggles?
>>568468638my question is, will you play as bianca with nera support, or will control switch based on what part of the game, or will there be an option to pick which one
Has DQ ever used Arale’s turd on a stick as a weapon?
>>568493852Can’t remember so i was just asking
It'll be like the first arc of Yugioh, Bianca needs prize money to buy medicine for her dad's cough-itis and Nera needs to save Debora's soul from Horii-san.
>>568494540How close are they in age?
Kazap!
i have a theory we never got X because they wanted to complete the main storyline before they fully translate it.
