That's a fantastic idea, but they should also make a 2D version for Switch to cover all basis!
These were fun times. Famitsu 2007(iirc). The game was still planned for 2008 release at the time and had a stronger online focus.
Seriously though, if they wanted to aim for the west it would be best to try to pull off a Monster Hunter World (which has outsold DQXI) with another spin-off that adapts western open-world mechanics to the visual and storytelling style of Dragon Quest.
Honestly, they could just make DQ-styled Breath of the Wild -- aim for the same audience as BOTW, Genshin Impact, and Fenyx Rising.
They should also add Disney characters. That'll really make a good Dragon Quest game.
Why do you say that, just because it's an MMO (even though they've suggested they might make an offline non-MMO version of it)? Or do you know from first or secondhand experience that it's just not very good?
Because, I mean, plenty of people would also say to forget about IX because of its multiplayer skew...
I thought that was coming for ages because they said they were already working on something after the release of 2 (which sold great too), but maybe Builders took up the resources.
Speaking of the spinoffs, I do hope we get more Builders games even though Niinou left. It's become one of my favorite series.
God please no
Edit: Should have know this was bait whoops.
Anyways hoping for dq monsters, dq 3 remake and maybe dq12 info.
Folks who are hoping for Sugiyama being fired sure are dreamers. Don't like the guy either but I bet even once he's dead that his music will still be in the games in some form, even if it's just the main theme. As for the announcements I'm still hoping for a DQX Western release (which may be even more delusional).
They have those already basically but they're arcade card games.
Another Slime game would be awesome and that art style would be awesome
The hell? Oh please no. Enough games taking this route already. The PS5 part I agree with, the rest I don't. I really don't want the battle system messed with too much.
Builders 2 was so good and comforting. That's 2nd on my wish list!
Mama needs the Zenithian trilogy on switch, SE. Then you can do whatever you want.
Never say never, but DQX is a fuck-off huge game at this point, and localizing it would be a gigantic undertaking for what's probably not enough of a return, given the popularity of DQ abroad, and how DQX plays.

I'm really liking Yuki Hayashi's soundtrack for Dai. Maybe an official passing of the torch.
Its the second worse DQ game I've played an in addition to that they've wasted years of dev time porting it around all over the place making it a mess in more ways than one!
Awaiting a DQ IX remake.
If anything, they're going to make Switch the lead platform this time around. As for catering to the west by making it an open world action RPG, lol no.

Play on Hard difficulty with Draconian. Come and see me after.
DQ XI on draconian difficulty was one of the best times I've ever had playing a JRPG. It was so well tuned. There were frequent HP/MP restore points and it was easy to re-allocate skill points so the game really encouraged you to go all out.
The anime has a different style in the first place because it was not drawn by Toriyama when the manga debuted decades ago.
A DQM game featuring Dai would be nice though.
The fan base that still buys Dragon Quest hand over fist is Japan.
It would just be another port of the Switch game with none of the original PS4/PC assets.
I played through the demo and to be perfectly honest one of the main things I liked about it is that it focused on combat less than a lot of other JRPGs. I like that it lets itself be mostly about exploration and enjoying the story, which also doesn't seem to rely on cut scenes or shitloads of text as much as other JRPGs.
I'm starting to think RPGs in general should focus on a smaller number of important, unique battles as opposed to a ton of trash mobs.
I'd like to think a new Heroes game that had Dai and friends crossover with the main series would be pretty cool.
It was sublime on Draconian hard. One of the most trying and challenging JRPGs I've finished, and exactly bc yeah, it was so well tuned. Even normal encounters could be a little intense.
No. Dragon Quest XII multiplatform so more people can enjoy just like XI is now. PC, Xbox, Switch And PlayStation. Also for open world action RPG we can leave that to final fantasy since we'll never get a classic FF game again. 😭 Leave Dragon Quest alone.
It was soo close to being difficulty perfection in a JRPG. Just sometimes there are boss fights which felt like a massive RNG roller coaster depending on their actions.
It would be amazing if DQB3 is a follow-up to DQ3, like how the first two Builders games follow the first and second DQ games.
Hm, maybe. I didn't realy feel this..actually this is a little true for some bosses. Namely the boss under Octagonia. Man, that MF was HARD.
Give us DQVIIR and DQVIII HD Remastered for home consoles and PC.. plus of course the announcement of DQXII.
And DQV PS2 finally for the west HD Remastered ( long shot I know ).
