Avan rules because after saving the world he just goes back to being a giant dork (and training new heroes). I'm glad they decided to do the updated anime because it's fun to watch and the modern animation work using a bunch of character designs that are very clearly from the 80s is real funny. Hopefully they just run it non-stop until completion since there's a lot of story left to go.

I’m really looking forward to what they announced. Dragon Quest III is exactly what I wanted, I even made my own prototype turning the SNES artwork into 3D models in Unity, but this goes way further. I’m guessing for XII they’re going to use an artstyle closer to Dragon Ball Z than Dragon Ball. It’s both very popular in the west and looks fantastic in 3D in FightersZ. They got a lot of backlash when they announced IX as an action RPG, so I don’t think they’d try that again. However I would like to have turn based combat with timed hits like the Mario RPGs, Mother 3 and Yakuza 7. That last one might also be the reason they’re going for a worldwide launch, since it’s likely one of the reasons it was the most successful game in the series in the west. I still enjoy the NES games so I don’t need any drastic changes, but there are some that I really appreciate. In DQXI’s 3D mode your characters take their action as soon as you enter it like FFX, instead of having to enter all of your characters’ actions and wait for the turn to play out. There’s also no random encounters. You can play in 2D mode to get the original turn based system and random encounters.

Enjoy the game, it's terrific!

Honestly I'm pretty excited for the stupid little match 3 game... I feel like whenever Armor puts a DQ spin on unexpected genres (DQ does Minecraft, DQ does Tamagotchi, DQ does Monopoly) the results are unique and surprisingly solid. I'm down to play DQ does Candy Crush, and those erasers are freaking adorable.

Dragon Quest is a very strange beast. My understanding of the situation is that it is collectively owned by Yuji Horii, Akira Toriyama, and the old racist gently caress, who each have claim to their artistic contributions. Enix has always been the publisher but that’s entirely professional courtesy. Any one of the three could take their ball and go home at any time if they wanted.

I don't think people generally have an problem with artists having rights to their work, it's that Sugiyama 1. sucks, 2. has used these rights to make the games actively worse because he wants to sell CDs of the symphonic soundtracks, and 3. is more or less chained to the franchise because he has to be kept happy lest S-E lose the Dragon Quest main theme

Relin posted:why would he have the rights to the music Short version: because he got to do so when he worked on DQ1 and had the ability to make the demand, get it accepted, and be embedded deep enough that if Enix wanted to get rid of him it was too late because fans would riot if the DQ music had drastically changed.

I've got a feeling that they've held off announcing platforms for DQ12 because it's going to be on Xbox Game Pass and announced at e3. As long as there is a switch version I'll be happy, which considering DQ11 made it to 3 different platforms seems likely.

If it’s still available on PS4/5 and Switch at launch then it doesn’t make any difference to me. However, there’s a chance it could end up like PSO2 where the English version is only on Xbox and PC.
