Because when you desperately chase improvement and innovation you end up with modem FF.
The Enix part of SE knows who buys their games and why so they deliver.

Why can't nostalgiafags just have a game or two released that completely and totally pander to them once every few years without people questioning it?

Seriously. You have so many fucking video games made for you every few MONTHS.

Let these assholes have a game or two.

Fuck sake.

>>379534160

I wasn't talking about DQ specifically, just games that are "stuck in the past" on purpose to pander to neckbeard 30+ year olds who just want the same thing as the stuff from their childhood.

There are so many modern games, I was just saying leave the nostalgiafag neckbeards alone when a company gives them a game or two.

why was almost every triple-A game hyped the last years?

Because it's good.

>>379532109
You do realize this is coming to the 3DS and Switch too, right?

>>379534847
Because the most iconic Pokemon characters are from gen 1, especially the first 4 and their evolutions (pikachu, squirtle, charmander, bulbasaur).

>>379534828
Early screenshots of 9 suggest it was going to be like the ds crystal chronicles games, not at all like 10. I'm personally glad they changed it.

>>379535019
Since it's going to be best on PS4, it'll technically be a PS4 exclusive. That's what PC master racers and BotW Switch owners have convinced me of.

DQ is really good and I'm hyped.

Not even a nostalgiafag, I started the series like 18 months ago and it's been one of my favorites since.

Oh look, this thread again. Alright, if you want another round of being proven wrong.

>No voice acting
Is the best feature the game has yet.

>MIDI soundtrack
It's synth. And all Japanese games do it. Every game gets a Symphonic Suite about 9 months after the main game released. We got orchestrated music in DQVIII because it came out after the Symphonic Suite. And they very well could do the same for DQXI.

>30 year old gameplay
Wow, this game plays exactly like Dragon Quest I. With only one party member and a first person view. You're totally right.

>No new features
Revised skill system, new exploration options, on field enemy encounters with no transition (think Chrono Trigger), horse riding, new type of alchemy, expanded casino. And that's just the things they've announced so far. We barely know anything since Yuji Horii is being very tight lipped about it.

JRPGs are back.

>>379531070
Its because "tradition" for Japanese and to be honest a head of developers is just an old guy, I mean, HORII YUJI
Its the same thing for Zelda not having voice acting except for cut-scenes

And MIDI soundtrack is always with mainline DQ series weather western like or not, even in DQ8 that actually got orchestra especially for western

I don't know yet the game will be released in western countries but if they will release the game you can expect they will add orchestra ver with it

>>379535691

>Its the same thing for Zelda not having voice acting except for cut-scenes
And they added voices in the last game and it was a disaster. You're proving the biggest example of why Dragon Quest shouldn't have voice acting. That and Dragon Quest already tried it before. And it led to two decades of shitty dialects.

Wait would have been fine if we actually got Dragon Quest X. But shitty internal politics in SquareEnix means the western fanbase gets screwed on an entire generation of DQ games.

For real though when are we getting those 3ds spin offs?

>>379536026

>Fucking JRPG fans, everyone.
Don't lump everyone together because one guy doesn't know how to explain himself correctly.

I find Dragon Quest plenty interesting. It can be exciting as times like the plot twists in DQV or the boss fights in DQVII. But the series on the whole is more about comfy exploring and taking your time. Really spending hours getting to know each character and developing a connection to them. Which is plenty interesting to some people. About 5 million of us.

I'm not so sure it would have flopped. MMO fans are clamoring for an MMO that isn't a clone of WoW. And DQX would have been that game. It also was the successor to FFXI that all the FFXI fans want. And it has a bunch of other positives going for it. Plus, an MMO like this can make a substantial profit even if only 100k people are subbed to the game. And just the core DQ fans outside Japan would have supported those numbers.

The only thing that would have kept it back is if SquareEnix skimped out on marketing it. But they did even worse. They didn't even release it.

>>379531070
ive always thought that voice acting in rpgs of this kind ruined it
at least the english versions
staying true to the old formula is good to hear
after the path FF has taken i was worried for the genre

im perfectly fine with this

If you're looking for a classic turn based JRPG type of game with no major gimmicks, your options are pretty limited and SE is taking full advantage of that.

>>379537415
8 had good voice acting though. But I might just be a sucker for British accents.

>>379537705

The term AAA is dumb anyway. People in the west consider the souls games to be AAA because they like them. But they were made at a fraction of the cost of a Final Fantasy game, just like Dragon Quest games are.

AAA is a measurement of cost and hype. And many of the best games out there are medium budget, medium hype games. SquareEnix has to spend 10x more advertising a FF game just to match the sales Dragon Quest gets with a few magazine ads and a promotional event. So I'm happy to say that DQ isn't an AAA game.

>>379537841

>Yangus was fantastic
This is the problem. Yangus is the only good voice in the game. And he stands out so much that people seem to have blinders for all the other bad voices. Trode was the epitome of hammy over acting. Jessica was bland. Marcello was downright awful. And most of the bosses and NPCs that got a voice were so bad that even a Tales fan out cringe at them.

People just seem to focus on Yangus. But one good voice doesn't excuse 50 bad ones.

Read the thread. Both voice acting and the orchestrated music were added to the western release. The Japanese game didn't have them.

Then they did the reverse for the 3DS release. Proving that Japan likes to change shit in localizations for no reason.

Why wouldn't we get the 3DS version? The 3DS has more units sold here just like in Japan. And if the Switch keeps selling out, we'll probably get the Switch one as well.

The bigger question is how long will it take SquareEnix to release the game. They are releasing all the DQ games since 2015. But not at the same time as the Japanese release.

They had localized DQIX quickly after it released in Japan. Then SquareEnix sat on it and almost didn't release it. Nintendo stepped in and covered the licensing, marketing and distrobution costs.

The problem isn't the time or cost it takes for a localization. The problem is SquareEnix being greedy. But yes, I'm also surprised they even released DQVII. They seem to have done it just because Yuji Horii shamed them into it with his 'mistake'.

>>379542132

Yes, when Yuji Horii announced that DQVII and VIII were being localized. But SquareEnix hadn't announced it. Most likely what had happened was SE was localizing it. But tons of games get localized and never get released (like DQIX almost had happened). After quickly denying Yuji Horii's comments, a few months later SquareEnix randomly announced DQVII and VIII were being released. As if they were shamed into doing it because Yuji Horii announced it.

Makes me wish he had also mentioned DQX.

I bet the US version will be the Director's Cut version like VIII did on the US PS2 version which will have voice acting, orchestrated soundtrack, and new content.

>30 year old gameplay
Don't mind it, feels like a classic game.

After the mess that has been Final Fantasy, Star Ocean and other series in recent years, a game with no voice acting that goes back to classic turn based gameplay will be refreshing. The irony is that all these series being over backwards to go ARPG and appeal to western audiences are becoming so normal that a classic turn based JRPG will look fresh now.

>>379546358

The PS4 game is going to be full 3D models following the style of Dragon Quest VIII. 3DS has two options, letting the player choose between classic SNES style graphics or the DS style graphics.

Yuji Horii claims both games will have the same content. Only the graphics will be different. I don't know exactly how this will work since the PS4 game is going to have exploration options that only seem to work in 3D. But he claims the 3DS game will have them too.

If all you care about is quicker battles, the 3DS game with classic SNES style graphics will probably be your best choice.

>>379531070
Literally because of all the reasons you stated. Well, an orchestrated sound track would probably be better but oh well.

Dragon Quest has always been open world. Dragon Quest VIII was one of the few games to do it right.

They also did action RPGs. They just regulated them to spin offs.

Why can't DQ fans just admit their games are extremely dated? It's fine if you like that, but the games are firmly stuck in the past and that's a huge turn off for many people.

>>379553414
We like them because instead of completely changing the core gameplay they all have the same core gameplay and offer different unique aspects such as custom parties, monster collecting, and job systems. The fact it never does any extreme changes but still tries new mechanics is what makes it great.

>>379553414

Why can't anyone who claims 'Dragon Quest never evolves' actually provide examples for why it hasn't evolved?

In the last decade, Dragon Quest has had an arcade slasher, two ARPGs, two musou games, a rythym game and an MMO. Not to mention the main games adding tons of stuff like alchemy, a skill system and transitioning from 2D to 3D.

Please explain to me how this is not enough innovation. The problem is you have no examples to cite. Because all you've seen is 5 minutes of gameplay on youtube.

Fuck I am so excited for this game but I know the localization will take a fucking year

Oh, I also forgot Dragon Quest has done Roguelikes, card battlers, a tactical game, a minecraft clone many people like more than Minecraft and revolutionized wifi for the DS.

But of course, it's all the same shit. Clearly Dragon Quest XI is going to be exactly the same as Dragon Quest I.

Mario Galaxy sucks because you jump and it has goombas. No innovation.

Doesn't stop them from selling. So either a lot of people find them fun and you don't, or there's a giant conspiracy of people wasting money just to be contrarian.

Or maybe both is happening at the same time.

the only thing "wrong" with midis is playing them in a default windows soundfont

You underestimate how much the art direction of DQ turns off the West.

>>379537903
While DQ was born from the idea of making casual Wizardry, it's not really comparable to the sea of dungeon crawlers you get on handhelds.

>Why is this game hyped again?
Because it has no voice acting, a MIDI soundtrack, has 30 year old gameplay, and has no new features.

If its like all the DS games, the DLC will be free.

Do you know for a fact that the soundtrack will use midi instruments? A lot of the promi material for Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 used midi tracks but those were orchestrated. Besides; midi instruments can soind really good if the midis themselves have depth

>>379537284
It doesn't play anything like XI, I really wish you guys would do the tiniest bit of research before you talk about DQX.

I've been wondering as I'm playing through the series because I know it's often not the case with FF games, but are in-series references kept consistent throughout various translations of DQ games? Like this guy here, カンダタ was a thief who gave you information in DQ3, and he's also referenced in DQ4. Or for another example, the message that pops up when you inspect a corpse in any DQ game other than 2, it's always 返事がない、ただのしかばねのようだ. Is that kept consistent throughout the translations too?

>>379562843

>It doesn't play anything like XI
The guy you're quoting didn't say anything about DQX playing like DQXI. Perhaps you should read before accusing others of not being able to read.

>>379562941

Puff Puffs and a few character cameos are kept consistent. But spell names, item names and many references are changed on the whim of the localization team.

>>379563879
Shame. I guess you can't blame them too much though because of character limits.

>>379531070
I've never played one of these games before but everything you just said makes me want to buy it. Thanks!

>>379564057

The character limits hasn't been a problem since the PS1 days. The modern localization team just likes to change shit for the sake of change. Often the change is much longer and dumber than the Japanese was.

>>379563773
FFXI fans absolutely wanted this game that plays absolutely nothing like XI in any way, does not have strict party necessity(you "rent" other people's characters to party most of the time). Keep talking out your ass faggots.

I meant you wouldn't expect spells to keep names that were originally shortened due to character limits (on NES).

>>379564065
congrats, you'll be one of the lucky 10,000 people to actually own the game in the west

>>379564352

The team that made Final Fantasy XI worked with Yuji Horii to make Dragon Quest X. It was the first Dragon Quest game that was made in studio by SquareEnix staff.

Don't know why you think it has to play exactly like FFXI to appeal to FFXI fans though. With so many FFXI fans hating FFXIV, they would probably be a lot more open to trying DQX instead. Given the team who worked on it.

>>379531070
because it has all the qualities you posted

>>379564243
Those traits are exotic, it is often the reason why they make those character designs. Well also for the reason that if it is in a western type setting, you have to at least try to use traits associated with people from that region.

Is DQ worth a shit? Never played one, stuck to final fantasy for the most part.

This game looks interesting, a bunch of peasants as the cast looks fun.

>>379565736
If you like the structure of FF1, 3, and 5 (that is, less focus on story, more of an adventure that will force you to explore and talk to NPCs to find out where progression is), give the series a shot. I would call DQ and FF6-onward entirely different genres.

>>379565736
They all just look like shit, most of them have grand roles in their society's, hell even the kings dress like commoners

>>379565736
I would say no. I was told to start with 8 but I didn't like it.

>Is DQ worth a shit?
You're in a DQ thread, so most people are going to say yes. For me, it is the only series left where every game is above average. Most of them great or better. This is in large part because its the only series where the same cor team has worked on every game for 30 years straight.

In other words, Dragon Quest is all about consistency. If you like one of the games, chances are you'll like them all. If you try one and don't like it, then you probably won't like the series. With some exceptions. I know a lot of people who love Dragon Quest V for its powerful story, but aren't big fans of the other games.
