Oh come on, now another thread to cover the other?

Well the other thread clearly doesnt state PS4 in the title and a mod has yet to change it despite posting in the thread itself multiple times. So yeah apparently we need another Dragon Quest thread today

That would be great! I've always enjoyed the story of Dragon Quest but the gameplay bores me to no end. The only turn-based game I've ever enjoyed is Pokémon. 

Heresy! The reason why DQ is always loved and has it's loyal fans (unlike the FF series that wants to reinvent the wheel for every entry in the series) is because of it's old school RPG gameplay. DQ is defined buy it's traditional gameplay and not it's story. Seriously, Dragon Quest was never about story.

Well it seems to work really well with FFXV.

Because the FF series always had more focus on story than gameplay. Just compare the SNES DQ with the SNES FF. Or the PS DQ with the PS FF.



I am a Nintendo fanatic.

Wait, Dragon Quest is turn based?

Didn't care about this before, but maybe I should...

What? Is this a joke? :D

OT: I need direct feed footage of the gameplay they showed, even if it's an early build.



Is this going to be anything like Ni No Kuni?

It's the turn-basiest rpg series ever made.

Take away the turn based combat, you take away the identity and soul of the DQ games.
Cant believe people are saying it above.... jeez just make a new IP if you want to make a hack and slash.



The exterior looked very pretty

But i'll be playing Heroes instead :d

Yeah, nothing says new game in a franchise like changing the very way the gameplay works.

You can't change the game scope and let the old gameplay restrictions.

Turn based is nice on 2D (or even 3D chibi that reminds 2D) cause on 2D that was the best you could do for a RPG.

A open 3D world though, you can just allow the player to do so much more,so why keep the 2D limitations?

I'm not saying it is, I'm asking if it is

Dragon Quest is the mother of all turn-based JRPGs and it has to this day always stayed very oldschool in that regard.

FFX was a good game.



Hmm, pie.
