well DQ doesn't feature emo characters, "juiced man-pretzels", its gameplay its 20 years old(but still magnificent) and the prominent anime designs made by toriyama aren't that appealing to a wide audience in the west

 

 and its gameplay needs an overhaul like Kojima did with Metal Gear.

 

 I'm not sure what you mean... Kojima has always been the designer of the Metal Gear series...

 

 MGS4's gameplay is WAYYYY better than MGS3. it was a great step forward. DQ's gameplay is VERY OLD. has not changed at all.

Yeah... But Kojima made MGS3 as well...

Did you mean to say that MGS is a developing series? (Because it sounded to me that you meant Kojima changed what someone else had done with MGS).

 

And some things should simply stay the way it did. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn for instance is still a blast, despite its gameplay, graphics, music and story all being dated.
