Popular Post MidnightDragon Posted May 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Dragon Quest XII was officially announced for a worldwide release. They said it would be more mature than past installments, have choices, and they are changing the battle system a bit. I'm definitely curious to see what they do. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2021/05/dragon_quest_xii_the_flames_of_fate_is_a_more_adult_dragon_quest_has_player_choice_new_combat_style Edited May 27, 2021 by MidnightDragon 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I'm definitely interested to see what a more mature Dragon Quest game looks like. Not sure how I feel about them changing the battle system, but it sounds like it's more of an iteration than a complete overhaul. I'm excited for the game either way.

It sounded like that they also were going to have a classic option, so maybe something akin to FF7R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I could definitely see something like that happening. I mean DQXI S went so far as adding a whole 2D mode to please the long time fans, so I'm sure a traditional battle option would be simple compared to that.

winter_bird_22 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 To be honest, I am not very impressed by the whole direction Dragon Quest's main series is going. The XII looks like something out of Dark Souls or Bloodborne and with the new "dark, R-rated" promises and "choices must be made" tease, I am worried this will become a fantasy clone of Infamous Second Son, which means your heroes may become villains. I don't want to be a jerkwad but I am losing faith in the series - they announced their "Endwalker" expansion for their Dragon Quest MMO, which they said "no plans for an international release" and then show a single-player version of Dragon Quest X in the art style of the future Pokemon Diamond/Pearl remakes aka chibi-style. That's not a solution, you burned all of your localization resources on FFXIV. X( I guess Dragon Quest Treasures and the DQ3 umpteenth remake might be good. At least they promised that there will be a future Dragon Quest Monsters game. Probably Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 4 for the Switch only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charxsetsuna Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 This concerns me to be honest, are they going to try to make it like newer final fantasy games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astray404 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Although I'm interested in this, considering that SE probably will release a DQ12 S years later makes me wanna wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeSplit Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 As is standard practice these days, I will wait and see. A game becoming more "mature" usually isn't a positive for me, and I had no issues with the battle system in XI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the music. lol. I'm wondering how far along it is though. Some companies dont like to say anything until it's a few months (6-10) away from releasing, while others are a royal pain and announce a game the second they write it on a whiteboard for brainstorming in the office lol (Elder Scrolls 6, Granblue Fantasy Re: Link) haha.

xZoneHunter Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) A logo reveal is always kind of disappointing, as there's not much to get excited about aside from the fact another game is in the works. I hope with mature they mean actually targeted at an older audience and not just having edgy characters. In any case seeing a simultaneous worldwide release is very good. Also the game will be made in the new UE5. Can't wait to see more. Edited May 27, 2021 by xZoneHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they kept the tales combat and party setups. Obviously tweaked a bit. so SE could change it up a bit, but still retain the general style if that makes sense. Hopefully more info soon.

starcrunch061 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 There’s no way that I would miss a DQ game, but I have great worries for this one. Square is just not equipped to write a “mature” story, and DQ is a poor venue for this for a variety of reasons. At the end of the day, death and destruction can and do occur often in DQ games (look at all the mayhem in DQVII). But the overall tone still remains light. I hope they don’t turn too far away from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon quest is a series that in my opinion knows when to be light hearted and tell jokes. But it also knows when to be serious.

MidnightDragon Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Sorry for bringing up an almost three year old thread, but...this doesn't sound too good. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2024/04/dragon-quest-12-still-mia-as-series-producer-is-reassigned-at-square-enix This guy has been the series producer since Dragon Quest IV or V (not sure which). I get there's been some issues behind the scenes beyond this, but they could still give us SOMETHING! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, I'd rather they delay and get a new lead who can put the game back on proper track than poop out some unfinished tripe hoping to capitalize off a famous franchise name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
