Oh man this looks SO GOOD. I desperately want this to come to the west but I know it won't. It's such a shame.

That is a GREAT trailer but I feel like it's a bit disingenuous to what the actual game will play or look like. Not like I've played it myself obviously. It just doesn't seem like something augmented reality can deal with right now. I find it interesting that this and Minecraft Earth are really banking on Pokemons Go's AR being its selling point when every single person I know who plays Go has turned off the AR at this point (aside from the recent smeargle photo bomb).

The trailer was really good. Anyway, yeah, it seems a Pokémon GO clone with more traditional battles. It might even be its next dragon Quest Monsters at this point.

Hook it to my veins!

(Pokemon Go clone or not, I'm interested in how they will tweak that formula. Love the monster design in DQ so this is already much more appealing to me than anything Pokemon-related.)

At the Dragon Quest Walk announcement event, Dragon Quest series executive producer Yuu Miyake also mentioned the still not formally announced Dragon Quest XII. "By the way, about Dragon Quest XII, which I'm sure is on everyone's mind—[Yuji] Horii and I are currently making preparations on series developments that will connect to XII. I think it's still too early, but we would like announce it in some form, so please wait a little while longer. "

From Gematsu. Do we think that could possibly refer to the announcement on the 10th, or are we considering Walk that?

Looks pretty decent. Proper combat makes this infinitely better than Pokemon Go and other similar games.

if you've been to Japan, you know that this is how the country is actually going to react to the game's launch. hence, best advert of all time.

That's one great trailer with the CGI monsters interacting with people. Also the concept sounds like a better version of Pokemon Go as it is closer to an actual Dragon Quest game.

Too bad this won't come to the US.

I was betting on DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS GO. Seems I wasn't too far away.

It seems mobile cash cow can only be 2 types nowadays : gacha or GO clone...

Nice trailer btw, and the battle system seems more like traditional rpg, could be interesting.

Battles seem like classic DQ.

If this actually has a good battle system, then it's totally got my interest over Pokémon Go.

This seems like a cool extension of what Go was. I'm sure it'll do well for them.

This is co-developed by Colopl who run the Shironeko Project mobile game and they have been doing well in gacha in general so this game should perform admirably (though they specialise in action games DQ has a fairly set way of RPG that is hard to mess up)

Even if this came in the west I couldn't play it because the area I live doesn't have sidewalks.

FINALLY, an AR mobile game for me!

I'm sure the infrastructure is there to let it be playable in English eventually, but I hope I can try it out in Japanese when it comes out!

Oh god that trailer put the goofiest smile on my face.

I'm so pissed that the chances of this coming west are about negative 30%.

The fact that this has dungeons and themes around visiting various landmarks makes me think this is not gonna be localised to the West.

Feeling like a kid again, right down to the fact that it looks like fun and I won't get to play it.

Trailer was fun
Not yet played a mainline DQ game, but interested in this because I really like the monster designs.
Will try if they'll bother bringing it over.

It probably will stay Japan only but dang, I wish it would get localized. If not, I wonder if SE will I.P. block people from playing it in the west.

Release it outside of Japan you COWARDS!!

Man I hope this gets brought over.


That likely won't happen. Not only DQ popularity outside of Japan isn't that big but the developers responsible probaly need to make the infrastructure for other regions while in Japan that's more easier. I I don't see it happening and the game only being in Japan where it's going to be it's biggest market makes sense. Not that it would change too much with it coming outside of JP, because jp mobile games makes most of their money on the country so it just would be more money for translation, localization, marketing and so on for western when the return won't be as big.
