Solid start for builders in the west. 

Minecraft RPG with story/lore/monsters of Dragon Quest.
This is going to be big in japan I suspect.

Trailer is amasing too:

the game is better than "minecraft". but: i dont buy it, because so many awesome games in the next weeks: World of Final Fantasy, the new BlazBlue Game, Final Fantasy 15, the Last Guardian and Gravity Rush 2. Help, we need more Time !!

It already released in Japan and had good sales.  It wasn't huge like minecraft but it was sold at x3 the price $20 vs $60 so in terms of revenue it was definitely a hit for square.  

No multiplayer which probably didn't help it's legs but DQ: Builders 2 should have that. 

at 82 now on metacritic

Surely square will do a final fantasy builders next. Hopefully  the WOFF team move onto it. And capcom should really do a monster craft.  

amazing lil game!

Why? I can't imagine a blocky Final Fantasy game bring popular.

I forgot about this game, looks intriguing, probably won't buy it though. Good look for the Meta though.

Give the demo a go. I never thought id buy it but after playing the demo its a definite buy for me.
