Is this game already forgotten?
>>389049874
It's not released outside Japan. i'm sure we'll have a few threads when it does
>>389049874
It's not even released yet in relevant countries
>>389049874
i've never even heard about this lame looking dog shit until just now.

>>389050078
what did they censor
>>389049874
cant decide if girl of the year is Martina or Menat...
>>389050707
>>Toriyama designs on anything not-Dragon Ball
Dragonquest is almost as old as Dragonball and has always used his illustrations for the games so what's your point
>>389050707
shut the fuck up, if it wasn't for Toriyama charming artstyle, DQ wouldn't even be popular at all.
Also
DQ>Any Compile Heart games
>>389049874
It is forgotten because no one can understand a word of it
>>389050707
>having this much shit taste
>>389050707
don't talk shit about toriyama
>>389049874
Japan kind of liked it in general, at least from what I saw looking on the various non DQ threads on 2ch, the reception seems overall good, but DQ is basically a "commodity" game so to speak.
The most common complaints are that the game is too on rails and the second half loses a lot of steam, the cast in general doesn't seem to be as popular and well received as other games like 5,7 or 8 too.
Then again, this is from non core DQ players but people who play other series in general, if you go into the DQ general threads in there you'll see mostly positive comments, but that's in the nature of every general thread and not really indicative of the overall reception.
>>389051367
It looks silly, bro. There's a reason DQ didnt catch on in the west. Most people here associate that design with DBZ instead. Same reason barely anyone remembers the old Chrono series anymore aside from oldfags.
>>389050807
divine bustier and bikini outfits. maybe more but those two were obvious.
>>389051598
the real reason why DQ never became popular in the west was the lack of advertising
pokemon became popular because of the anime
>>389051598
Stop trying to astroturf, you Reddit piece of shit.
>>389049874
No, it has one of the best vidya loli fo the year. But yeah, the west doesn't care much about DQ, so I hope it's succesful when the localization releases.
>>389051518
I see tons of art being produced for it and positive comments on JP twitter. It's hard to gauge how well-liked a DQ game really is because its fanbase is so huge in Japan. There are massively more people playing it than post about it on 2ch.
>>389051598
>There's a reason DQ didnt catch on in the wes
That reason is "oops we forgot to actually localize DQ 5 and 6 and now Final Fantasy has hijacked the JRPG train in the West"
Not by Veronica fags, she's everywhere.
>>389050707
end yourself
>>389049874
It's not even out here. It's like asking if FFVII remake has been forgotten. We're just waiting to play.
>>389049874
It's not in any other language other than Japanese.
So yes. until then nobody gives a fuck.
>>389049874
It's only in Jap right now.
Can I fuck a red ogre?

>>389053909
Who?
>>389049874
>Is this game already forgotten?
What the fuck are you talking about? It isn't even relevant to us in the first place because it's only playable in JAPAN.
>>389051598
>implying Chrono cross and trigger are forgotten games
DQ games don't catch on in the west because they don't wanna play that genre. Has nothing to do with art style
>>389049874
I can't forget a girl like her
>>389053049
>It's hard to gauge how well-liked a DQ game really is because its fanbase is so huge in Japan.
Honestly, it really depends on which channels you use, 2ch and Twitter are the biggest, mainstream channel you need to follow if you want to get a quick impression on things, though that really depends on what kind of games you're interested to.
DQ is extremely popular in Japan, so you'll find tons of feedback on both 2ch and Twitter, but there's also other places like Futaba(Which is mostly dead these days though), Pixiv and more.
I'd say the problem in gauging a game's feedback isn't exactly due to the fanbase being big, in that sense it's actually better since all those aforementioned social media will be flooded with comments, the problem is that a lot of japanese people are hardly critical like westerners can be, especially when it comes to old giants like DQ, smaller franchises have similar problem in the sense that while the core audience is small but actually very straightforward, it's also hard to properly understand the game's feedback because not a lot of people post stuff about it, see games like Neo Atlas, Metal Max and so on, I know there's a few people on Twitter and even 2ch that post about them, but I also know that there's a huge part of the userbase that straight up doesn't, mostly because they're older people who don't really care much about posting on the internet.
One other thing is, some people say one thing in public but another thing in person, some people also change their opinion pretty fast, especially twitter users, but don't really tweet their change of mind for a variety of reasons, I know this because I speak with a few japanese friends while playing PSO2 and also looking at their Twitter profile, it's a pretty puzzling forma mentis, but it's understandable considering their form of society.
>>389049874
Look at that dated artstyle, graphics, and gameplay. Nobody gives a shit about turn-based combat anymore especially one as bare-bones and bland as Dragon Questt
>>389054653
>>389054175
> that genre
Not really, it's more about the fact Dragon Quest largely missed out on the nostalgic fanbase in the west due to dodgy releases in the past and poor treatment of worldwide. Small percentage of people in the west go into automatic HYPE mode over it compared to Final Fantasy, for example.
>>389054331
>Can't fuck
WHY MUST THEY FORSAKEN ME?
>>389051598
>barely anyone remembers the old Chrono series anymore
Bitch now you're just trying to start shit.
>>389049874
>Adding voices to a game that didn't have them or need them
I can only hope there's an option to turn them off, the delay wasn't worth it either way.
>>389054653
not even trying
>>389054971
guess what the Western version is going to have
>>389050986
c'mon now anon
literally anything else >>>>>>>>> anything Compile Heart
>>389055072
An orchestral soundtrack?
>>389049874
My dick hasn't forgotten
Dragon Quest is trash, same old repetitive bullshit. No wonder why 4chan likes it so much as Dragon Ball Super.
>Implying theres a single DQ entry that could make it in a top 5, and maybe a top 10 JRPG ever made.
>>389055072
>is
isn't
>>389051518
Considering how much characters can change in translation especially in DQ it really doesn't matter what nips think.
>>389055147
weak b8
>>389051598
chrono trigger is probably the most popular jrpg outside of ff in the west to thisbecause everyone played it when they were kids and hipsters only ever seem to latch on to entry level stuff anyway but whatever
>>389051721
The dancer NPCs too.
>>389054971
Isn't that still just an assumption at this point?
>>389055163
Its not going to have an option to turn off the voices? That would severely ruin the experience for me.
>>389050539
What is this running on? I'm not used to DQ looking this kawaii.
>>389049874
>>389055408
It won't have voices period
>reading an article in a now dead gaming magazine on dragon quest
>mentions how people would be in an uproar whenever the newest title would release
>says kids would miss several days of school and even some adults would miss days of work over the game
Sounds like something that would make for a great episode of AVGN or some show just to look at something that was clearly a phenomenon at the time.
>>389054971
The localization is doing that? After the shit show that was DQVIII's voices?
>>389049874
I started learning jap around three weeks ago and I know some basic words and vocab, kana/kanji aside, I'm thinking of pirating the 3DS ver to get some basic practice in, should I? How challenging is DQ generally with its language?
>>389055443

>>389055567

>>389055408
You won't need to deal with voices, but every text box will have localized, almost unreadable accents.
>>389049874
Started playing through it yesterday. Seems good but my japanese isn't up to the level this game wants it to be.
>>389055691
This is my greatest fear when it comes to any DQ game coming West. Holy fuck can the text be complete nonsense at times.
>>389055528
Even today, Squeenix is required to release DQ games only on weekends in Japan
>>389055669
I think it's both.
Guys come on stop lewding my waifu
>>389055650
And stomping
>>389055960
You haven't even played the game, nerd, she's not you're waifu
>>389055905
Good.
Now if you excuse me, I'm going to leave this thread so I don't get spoiled on all of the great titty shots in this game.
>>389055794
Osakaben will be localized as the stereotypical super thick southern drawl like they always do, but they'll probably do something retarded like make Tokyoben a Scottish accent for no real reason.
>>389055960
The fact that she can't be fucked in game means she needs to be lewded twice as much on /v/
>>389055235
CT is better than every FF. Even FF6.
Everything about CT is just right!
>>389056138
who all can you fuck in this game

see thats what I mean. I'd love to see a documentary on it.
>>389055567
>>389055905
Was there a trailer for her dark version these screenshots come from, or is it just screenshots?

Finally, you got the right picture. Thumbnails are no good, yes?
>>389056138

That's true for all of them.

I will never forget Martina's beefers
>>389055816
It's not a requirement, they do it of their own volition.

It turned out to be not very good

is that a fucking nipple
I'm calling the mods
>>389049874
>No voice acting

It hasn't come out yet, dumbass.
>>389056793
>Dragon quest is so serous in nipland people will mug you for a copy
I almost wonder if someone killed for a DQ copy.
>>389056893
It's just a pimple.
>>389056954
Came out two months ago, retard.
>>389056940
>hating turn based
it's like admitting you are 12
>>389056609
Well, at least now I can stop lusting over my own daughter on V and enjoy a new loli.

Who am I kidding? No one will ever surpass her.
>>389057218
She is not a real loli, it sucks
>>389050707
>implying his designs aren't better in anything BUT Dragon Ball
>>389057998
The other two females are 1) actually a child and 2)your sister
Only possible re-release romance is maybe the homosex
>>389058224
body of a loli, mind of an adult > normal loli
>>389049874
Heard she dies, is that true?
>>389058451
I'll fuck it.
i imported the ps4 version and im in postgame.
about halfway in the main story it makes you retread old areas, so not having enough content is an blatant issue. i blame the 3ds version hurting it's development.
the game is alright but only the last couple of bosses wipe buffs, so old dq fans will steamroll the game.
basically just expect a linear version of dq8 and not as grand
>>389058646
Everyone dies then you pull a bravely default and save them all
>>389058646No. Veronika dies. You spend the post game going back in time and saving her
>>389058913
Hey I remember you
Whats there to do in the postgame?
>>389058913
>a linear version of dq8
That game was already linear enough, so this sounds pretty disappointing.
>>389058224
Age is just a number anon, enjoy the cuteness.
>>389059065
Yes
>>389050539
>900p ps2 graphics
please.
>>389058451
I'd imagine they'd just retcon her into your step sister for a rerelease, I wouldn't expect a re-release anytime soon, the DS/3DS remakes came 10+ years after they were originally released
>>389053370
The reason DQ didn't catch on in the west is because you need to have autism to appreciate the boring grind based gameplay.
>>389052010
>pokemon became popular because of the anime
Confirmed for underage.
>>389059040
postgame is another large chunk of story
basically the party finds outtime travel and decides to go into the past to go rape an old unwinnable boss battle, so that feels pretty good
theres some shit i dont really agree with though. like only themain character goes to the past, so its like the later interactions with your party didn't happen.so basically you created another timeline you gotta live in.strange endgame
>>389059040
The rest of the story for one thing.
>>389059687
Weird, how are the sidequests?
>>389058913
Bleh, that bodes ill
>>389058431
Boy, I love Toryama's design in everything except DBZ, even the original DB looked sweet for me. I love how he draws machinery, robots, weapons, fantasy monsters, pretty much everything that DBZ don't really uses.
>>389049874
I want to start playing the DQ games but I honestly don't really have the time and shouldn't be paying for anything I may never get around to playing.
>>389059493
Final Fantasy has the same gameplay and it's massively popular
It's almost as though Square were localizing their titles in a key nostalgiabait era while Enix was sticking its thumbs up its ass...
>>389055141
Let me guess, you can't fuck her in the game.
>>389061289
Nope.
>>389059810
every town has a sidequest that triggers once you walk in, and the main postgame pushes you towards the superboss
but before you start postgame theres still shit to do, so im not really sure what gets cut off when youtime travel
like some stuff is obviously different
if you're curious about minor quests, the game is filled with dq9 types from random npcs
>>389061529
Seems like there is a decent amount of content then?
>>389059493
>Confirmed for underage.
the whole reason why we got a yellow version was because of the anime
don't even try to deny it
>>389059939
>I love how he draws machinery, robots
>only "robots" in Z are human-like
Fuck that. Even in DB Toriyama drew a lot of that kinda of mechanic stuff but just a one-page with Goku, Bulma, etc which were amazing, but he never fully explored that, just a bit of RR saga and when Pilaf happens
>fantasy monsters
There were a couple. Namek arc covered some in the Freeza's army, Freeza forms were great, imperfect Cell was the best, Dabura, Buu, Yakon(whatever the name was)
About human artwork, i always prefered the DB era with Kid Goku to early saiyan arc. Best was the 23rd tournament
>>389061350
And this is why DQ8 on 3ds is the best
>Let's you actually fuck Jessica
>Medea even gives Jessica her to dress to use
Even if you didn't want to marry Jessica, at least you had the option to
>>389057218
I can't decide whether to lick her tummy or her armpits first
>>389061627
main story is 50-60 hours
postgame chapter is probably about another 10 due to retreading, but you will need to grind for the superboss
like theres a decent amount of content but it should have been all new content and main story shouldn't have pulled aff6
>>389062232
Is there monster taming in any way
>>389061854
>censored
>best
>>389062737
All of the English releases are censored in one way or another, so I guess none of them are the best.
What are the must play DQ games for somebody new to the series? I plan on playing 5 soon because apparently it's the only RPG in history where you can get married and go adventuring with your wife and kids
>>389063108
All of them except 1 and 2
Start with 4
>>389063108
5 and 8 probably the two best in the series. 4 is up there as well but the only complete translation available is the god damned mobile port.
3 is fine too if you like ancient games.
>>389049874
at least she got a good doujin already
>>389063108
5 is a great starting point, choose well what version you plan to play, the Ps2 version is amazing, although the DS version has a new girl you can marry. 4 and the 3 remake for the SNES are good choices after you finish with 5.
>>389063259
III is what really pulled me into the series, though the only ones I played before it were the first two.
>>389049874
whya re her boobs so big? it's unrealistic and gross
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhihi_twFBY
which dragon quest games let you make your own party like etrian odyssey? most of the dragon quest fanart I've seen has the generic warrior and sage characters, but apparently most of the series isn't actually like that.
>>389065591
9 for sure but everybody says it has a weak story. It has a shitload of postgame content if you like grinding
>>389065591
3 and 9 which are the best ones
>>389065784
9 sucks
>>389049874
MCs hair bugs me, looks so ghey
>The DQ X demo is region-locked too (thought it wasn't for some reason)
>Launcher gets touchy if I switch to a VPN
I'll never understand why SE hates non-Japanese DQ fans so much.
>>389065591
That's because DQ III was one of the most popular in Japan, it's also a great game if you want to build your party.
>>389065591
3 and 9
6 and 7 also have classes but your party is actual characters and not blank slates
