Best guess is they’re trying to appeal to ppl who loved DQ8 and ppl who preferred the older style at the same time.

“The Point” of the ps4 ver. is that ppl who grew up loving Dragon Quest might seriously dig the idea of running around in a glorious open field w/ slimes and gigantes and stuff roaming around them in FULL MODERN 3D. i’m not even one of those ppl but i can immediately grasp the appeal.

yeah nedge this is dumb

I take your point that just because enix has been hilariously ignorant of modern graphics technology up to now we shouldn’t think this a revelation but it’s also the first new traditional DQ on a console in a decade so why shouldn’t it look like this

It looks like Heroes and Builders. They all look like “next gen” DQ8s or more powerful 3DS DQ games. This is totally in line with that. Not to say I’m more interested in this than Heroes 2 or Builders 2 for that matter. Not to say I don’t see this as boring. This is all just in line with Dragon Quest. Hopefully it’ll be charming.

Persona 5 in April, right?

people get so fucking mad whenever I don’t like something, because one time I didn’t like something else they played when they were a kid. who gives a shit, SB hates your favorite video game. I’ll play the 3ds one, provided they don’t take three years to release it here. that game looks like dragon quest with a cute gimmick, the ps4 one looks like what they imagine dragon quest is supposed to look like in 2017 if it didn’t look like dragon quest

Somehow your response is comforting

#2920

well it ain’t comforting to me. I’m always on eggshells around here when I say something I know some people aren’t going to agree with, which is pretty dumb.

Maybe it’s the part where instead of saying “this doesn’t really appeal to me but whatever”, you say “what soggy bag of dicks kind of person does this ass garbage appeal to”

Now I’m not on my phone woof the PS4 stuff does not look good and the 3DS 2D bits look FFiOS bad.

#2927

I’m not sure I really understand the point of having the 3D and the 2D bits. it’s immediately interesting on a superficial level, I suppose, but I think it would just become distracting

It bothers me how weird the movement looks on the 2D screen because it tries to approximate the movement that’s happening on the other screen. No 2D game (DQ or otherwise) moves like that.

The people wanting dragon quest ps4 are the same people interested in super nes dragon quest. That shit has been done and done well. But some people just want it done with new techniques hoping it’s better. I can’t fault them. I am bored with them. And that’s pretty much it.

when tension attacks run high
and medicinal herbs are low
and you’re changing your slimes
but kasizzle won’t grow
