Seems like they will overflow the market with Dragon Quest, not to forget there was a movie like a year ago and the anime series going on right now.

I'm looking forward to this "new style" of combat. I know we have a LOT of fans that love turn base. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. However, I understand the appeal that it has. Yakuza going turn base was bad news for me. Although it was a huge hit, I enjoyed the real time action more. On the flip side though, if they made it dynamic like Persona does...then maybe I would give it a chance. I'm hoping that we have an action base DQ. I also want them to keep the Toriyama style. I've always liked the look of it.

On the bright side, even though Yakuza 7 is turn based everyone keep moving during the fight

I was hyped enough for the 3 remake, but 12 was just AMAZING news.

I hope they don’t change it too much that it doesn’t feel DQ anymore. There reason DQ is loved by many and have few critics (compared to FF) because it has stayed true to its roots. The only departement they need to improve is the graphics, story and sound quality. Not the gameplay
