| Kemsus said: if they changed anything too major about the battle system, they would just get an outrage from the Japanese Fans. originally Dragon Quest IX was going to be an Action-Rpg if memory serves me right, but the Japanese fans were furious and demanded it be changed back to traditional. Also about it being kiddy??? wtf, if anything Final Fantasy has gotten the kiddy battle system now, at least in my opinion. Dragon Quest has an unforgiving battle system, and many battles are very easy to lose if you are not well prepared, and i don't know about you, but most kids i know don't have the attention span to dedicate to a game like Dragon Quest. Dragon Quest might have a more child friendly art style because that part of the game is made by Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball Fame, but the rest of the game is very much aimed at adults or mature people, be it puns or jokes or simply the story.
all of the above is my own opinions and should not be regarded as facts. |
Yeah i was reffering to the art style, which is why the western auidence who are unaware of DQ think the games are aimed at children, of course they are not. but i'm sure a lot of kids are interested in it as well. i have no problem with the art style since theres a lot more depth to the game once you've played it.
i just dont like the battle system - too repititive. not exciting enough for me. although its okay, i dont condemn it, i think for the series to be popular in the west the battle system has to become more accessible. since a lot of western gamers wont level grind, which is what i had to do.
simplicity does have its merits and perhaps if the difficulty was changable (easy, medium, hard) then the the gameplay could be made more accessible for the west!
