They are trying a new approach looking the first teaser. They teased a more darker approach, I think they will focus more on production value and make some gameplay changes this time. They stated they want next game to define the future of the franchise for the next 20 years, so I'm expecting this game to be a HUGE event, not just an incremental sequel There are market for JRPGs in West, we can see by games like Ocopath Travaler selling 3 million copies and Persona 5 5 million copies. Most of them outside Japan. I see no reason why DQ cannot pull a Persona 5 and sells 3 to 4 million outside Japan. I think the problem with DQ games is their presentation. It looks too dated, it screams 80s anime style, not popular even with current anime fans. With a better presentation, visuals and story I'm sure it can sell much better than just 1 million copies. I can see it skipping Switch and going direct to Switch 2 (the game is probably very far to be finished). I don't think it will be THAT detrimental from Japanese gamers if the game skip Switch and go to Switch 2 instead, unless for some obscure reason Switch 2 flops. |
Some of the previous DQ games also had a really dark story.
I agree with most of what you said, I was just arguing against the idea of PS5 exclusivity. I see that as out of the question.
