Forums - Nintendo - DQX becoming vapourware?

Not going to buy it then. Level 5 had three chances to convince me that they can make a good JRPG and they messed up on pretty much all accounts everytime.

Dark Cloud 1 is literally one of the worst games I've ever played, but come on... you didn't like DQVIII/IX? :(

I actually liked DC1 more than DC2  :-X That game oozes atmosphere.

I thought L5 did a great job with VIII/IX but it would be cool to see another company (ArtePiazza?) take over. As long as Horii is at the helm it doesn't really matter though.

To those that feel like DQX will be multi-platform, keep in mind that every single mainline DQ game was initially released on one specific platform. I don't see why they'd buck that trend right now.

What's more important is that Level 5 doesn't get to make this game. They suck so hard when it comes to JRPGs.

with all your awesome joke thread, I'm really not sure whether to take any of your comments seriously! ;)

He probably just played White Knight Chronicles or ROgue Galaxy....in which case his comment would be true.

Pretty much.  And honestly, they don't need to... DQ can come out in 2011/2012 on Wii and still sell 3-4m.  Putting on another console probably won't bump sales for the most part, it'll just split them.



It will come out for Wii 2 or 3DS, I'm sure. Why? Because it is one of the few exclusives Nintendo was able to obtain by Japanise companies, but on the Wii it won't do good now, I'm quite sure it would sell a bit over 3m LTD.

DQ8 released in 2004 and DQ9 in 2009. I see DQ10 coming out on a Nintendo platform in 2012-2013.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

When did a Dragon Quest got canceled on a platform to be launched in another one?

I don't really see your point


Thank you for using fact based information to make a very good point.

You hated DQVIII?

Of course. Endless grinding and comparable to the rest of the series slow battles (DQIX suffers from the same). Hundreds of collectable items and an overloaded alchemy system make a guide mandatory. Terrible dungeon design, horrendous battle theme. Lame sidequests, weak story.

All these things got even worse in Dragon Quest IX. Even more items and alchemy. Plus the various available classes multiplied the tedious and repetitive grinding. Worst of all, randomly generated caves.

The other Level 5 JRPG I played was Rogue Galaxy and it's very similar to their DQ games. Grinding and tons of items. All their games are made with the goal to take the player a very long time to complete. There absolutely is no intention to make a game that people would want to replay.

To be fair, almost everything you mentioned is subjective.I loved the music, scope, dungeons, classic style, monster arena, etc. The story is standard fare, but like every other DQ game, you get the most from character interactions and the little mini narratives the party encounters.



DQX was reconfirmed for Wii in an interview from July 2010.

I've only played DQ,4,5,7,8 so can't comment really. And only beat 5,8 so can't really comment
Darth I have a question... you played Dragon Quests 4,5... did you like them more than 8,9?
