So Square Enix scrapped Flames of Fate and started over. What do you think of the new Dragon Quest 12?
>>3991559Wtf, are they still going to use Akira Toriyama's character designs and Koichi Sugiyama's compositions before they passed?
I, for one, want to congratulate DQ on the big forty-oh
>>3991566The fact that they already have so many assests made in a such a short time tells me they're most likely cannibalizing the old DQXII to make this one.
>>3991559Good, it filtered all the edgytard secondaries
>>3991559Too badI thought we are about to get edge kino like DQ monsters joker 2/3But it's going to be stale nostalgia crap again
>>3991704God the Joker shit sucked so much, specially J3, the most boring Monsters universe ever. I'm glad we are back to the original monsterverse and none of that weird tech setting.Only 2 gets a pass because the stranded on an island setting is great and every area is well done.
>>3991705Joker 2 is the only one I played and I liked it a lot. Are the 3DS remakes of 1 and 2 any good?
>>3991559Good. They had enough sense to not try to go dark, edgy and politically mature after FF XVI. Who would have thought they could actually learn from their own mistakes?
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY ISNT MY FUN FAIRY TALE GAME IN A SERIES THATS ENTIRELY MADE OF THESE GAMES EDGY AND DARK WITH PEOPLE DYING AND BLOOD ALL OVERWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NOW ITS NOSTALGIA SLOP
>>3991559Who cares. We won't get this game until at least 2032.
>>3992008>Announce something>Years later show something bad and claim scrapped thing was worseMaybe a lil bit more of seething and redditspacing will help your cause anon
I still can't believe they had all this fucking development time and then decide to just scrap it all. Like what the fuck?
>>3991559looks gay
>>3991559>generic logo>terrible subtitle>having to scrap everything and this is all you have to show after however many yearsYeah, DQ is dead.
>>3991966I had more fun with their original GBC versions to be honest, I hope the psx version gets translated
>>3991559ill tell you when i play it in 2033
>>3991559I'm way less interested in this version so far, I was intrigued in what a darker toned Dragon Quest would be like, I've played every Dragon Quest, and enjoyed them all (yes, even VII) so I'm confident I'm going to probably like it, but I did feel the franchise could have stood to take a risk or two, they've been very safe for a very long time, and Dragon Quest used to push the envelope with each title.But I'll not mourn Flames of Fate, during development it must have become apparent it wasn't working, either it just didn't feel like Dragon Quest anymore, or it was just so shit they had to scrap it, whatever it was I'm glad they finally figured something out and aren't radio silent anymore and the game is actually coming out again, instead of being vaporware.Oh and I hate the new Hero, but I'll not write the game off on that alone, I hated VII's Hero too but still ended up liking that one too.
>>3992211The thing is Flames of Fate felt like a pointless shift for the sake of marketing. DQ's strength was its ability to tell dark stories with a cutesy, family-friendly facade, it didn't need to be edgy.
I'm really annoyed that all we're getting until it releases is a new DQ monsters game. What a gigantic content drought.
>>3992098not the first time.Look at VersusXIII
