Treasures is barely even a game from what I understand. You just go around and collect jpegs. Builders is definitely one of the best DQ spinoffs though.
Treasures is fun and the finding treasure mechanic is addicting. Storywise its not as compelling as builders which play on what if scenarios of the plot of the main games
It looks like it'll be fun but it looks so fricking low budget even for a Switch game, I wish all of square's higher ups would be gassed and HORI would take over the company completely so DQ stops getting fricked over
Please don't go full western. Please don't be pozzed.
I'm pretty sure they already confirmed it will be turn based so we have that going at least
On the bright side just know that square will get absolutely fricking massacred by the nips if they botch this game
DQ is meant to be a game to be enjoyed by everyone, even kids/teens. You won't get anything as explicit as the homosexual kiss in 16, probably just something implied like the scene with Erik/kamyu at the end of 11
Before anyone says the moronic "it won't be turn-based" shitpost, HORI already confirmed it's still turn-based (command battle is the japanese term for turn-based)
i hope you find the game shit regardless of how good it is because you c**ts care about the absolute wrong aspects. i refuse to elaborate. cry as much as you want. >woman appears and owns an inn >dark skinned npc wanders past >POZZED GAME DDDDDDDDD:
get fricked. youre far past the point of gone
The worst-case scenario is being an ARPG. I prefer if the game lets you choose if you want to play as a regular DQ game or an ARPG. At least it could give you a replay value.
Because of its boring shitty same old Dragon Ball art style, It may look cool in 90s but not anymore in 2023. If SE series really want to make this series to appeal in overseas, then they need to drop Toriyama from every future project entirely.
This.
DQ was as notable to oldgays like classic megaman or mario was in the west. The quality has never significantly dropped off, but because it doesn't have that historical background in the west it just isn't as popular.
Final fantasy wouldn't be popular at all in the west either if 7 hadn't been such a breakout title.
DQ releases were all fricked up in the west for a long time, they were called Dragon Warrior with generic ass non-Toriyama style boxart and skipped a bunch of entries. They never stood a chance.
>skipped a bunch of entries
The only skipped entries were V and VI, and even then it was supposedly only because Enix of America was broke and couldn't afford to translate them. They were still able to localize games like ActRaiser and Mischief Makers though, so I kinda question that reasoning.
I'm surprised they used the "what if" formula on a Monsters game for IV when V has the official Monster Tamer MC and giving him a what if where Pankraz survives or something could set up a cool Monsters game.
I am happy with what we've got though, playing as Psaro's cool and I won't complain about that. It's just surprising to me.

don't you frick me baby cuz i play it so much
its already slopped as frick if any of the spinoff games they've made in the last several years are any indication of their design philosophy
Spinoffs don't matter that's why they're spinoffs
There is no need to bring up spinoff. Just say turn based is garbage, that is what you really meant
Treasures and builders were great spinoffs
>Treasures
>great
Was it worse than Builders? I enjoyed those games and someone told me Treasures might scratch the itch.

slopped?
leave
speak like a person not like a zoomer
Too late it’s already being westernized
At least MONSTERS doesn't look THAT shitty, I guess
It looks like it'll be fun but it looks so fricking low budget even for a Switch game, I wish all of square's higher ups would be gassed and HORI would take over the company completely so DQ stops getting fricked over
I don’t get it, XI sold like a gangbuster. Why change the formula following its success?
I'm pretty sure they already confirmed it will be turn based so we have that going at least
On the bright side just know that square will get absolutely fricking massacred by the nips if they botch this game
Isn't that what everyone said about XVI?
FF isn't a cultural phenomenon in Japan like DQ is, only a few games like FFX are
Well it doesn't look like the japs did anything about XVI's literal homosexualry. Next DQ will probably add some homosexual kiss scenes too.
DQ is meant to be a game to be enjoyed by everyone, even kids/teens. You won't get anything as explicit as the homosexual kiss in 16, probably just something implied like the scene with Erik/kamyu at the end of 11
It better be one of the masked thugs kissing a male Ork
and games like FF7 and FF10 struck the chords they have with Japan BECAUSE they came out during big Dragon Quest release lapses in the first place.
Please don't go full western. Please don't be pozzed.
As if Japan would ever stand for that they'd probably bomb Square HQ
moron
Its DQ, its literally always been the sam and will continue to be the same as long as people buy it(which they will)
Before anyone says the moronic "it won't be turn-based" shitpost, HORI already confirmed it's still turn-based (command battle is the japanese term for turn-based)
see you in a year when youre proven wrong
They can't change it without a huge backlash in their own country that's what is protecting it from going down the same road as FF16.
It still sounds like it's going to be shit no matter what because it reads to me like it's implying ATB garbage.
The only good RPG with ATB shit is FFV and it's good despite it, not because of it. Full turn based or full action, frick off with trying to mix them.
And with DQ specifically they can frick off with full action too. I will never buy an action DQ game.
If Horii says it will be better, it will be better, simple fricking as
I believe in Horii
i hope you find the game shit regardless of how good it is because you c**ts care about the absolute wrong aspects. i refuse to elaborate. cry as much as you want.
>woman appears and owns an inn

it looks better than pokemon in every single way

Why is DQ so unpopular in the Overseas?
>The 3DS, PS4, and Switch versions sold a total of 5,000,000 units in Japan.
>By December 2021, the game had shipped over six million copies worldwide.

>releases after FF1 in the west
nothin personnel kid
Because of its boring shitty same old Dragon Ball art style, It may look cool in 90s but not anymore in 2023. If SE series really want to make this series to appeal in overseas, then they need to drop Toriyama from every future project entirely.
insanely moronic take
Would be completely soulless if it looked like FF16
ToM remake change art style that pendering to coomers and it sells.
>coomers
you have to go back
You don't know what you're talking about. They updated the artstyle with a new artist but the designs are pretty much the same.
>If SE series really want to make this series to appeal in overseas, then they need to drop Toriyama from every future project entirely
cope
When is the last time Toriyama actually draw something that screams 'soul' ?
Can't answer, huh?
Sandland, which is being made into a videogame btw, cope
Holy frick, have a nice day
>would prefer slop to soulful toriyama vehicle designs
me btw
>Why is DQ so unpopular in the Overseas?
because S-E actively gimp the franchise overseas in favor of FF
Boring and ugly looking. 11 had shit music.
Simply does not have the same legacy in the west. Has nothing to do with the quality of the games.
This.

XI sucked, so there's no reason to think this will be any better.
XI was fun and I have faith XII will be too.
Aren’t they getting rid of turn based? What are they smoking ????
i hope psaro's game is good
it'll be decent, a what it DQIV story scenario and the game will have around 500 monsters on release which is comparable to the Joker 3 expansion
I'm surprised they used the "what if" formula on a Monsters game for IV when V has the official Monster Tamer MC and giving him a what if where Pankraz survives or something could set up a cool Monsters game.
I am happy with what we've got though, playing as Psaro's cool and I won't complain about that. It's just surprising to me.
>psaro
Necrosaro
Don't use nu-SE's botched translations.
If you're going to be a purist homosexual at least call him Pisaro.
???

Thats a good thing tho?
