OR, they could just never stray from turn based fighting, because it's not what pretty much ANY fan of the franchise wants.
Okay, I'll check it ou...THREE HUNDRED AND FOURTY-NINE CHAPTERS?!
It's quite long with 37 volumes, the anime only covers about 10 and the last episode deviates from the Manga quite a bit. It maintains its quality all through the end unlike a few other manga I have read and surprisingly avoids one of the most common issues with other series.
I think the question that people keep asking the DQ staff every stream has to be "Do you plan on experimenting with action RPG genre".
Yeah, his design does look pretty cool in that game.
The fan-render looks dope, indeed.Oh wow. This is pretty cool artwork! It's definitely a fake image leak for the lolz, but how would you all feel if this was the Erdrick we got? Personally, I love this design. I know there are a lot of female Erdrick fans, but this fits naturally and I think the style works with what DQ 3 originally might have been. Really well made.
Erdrick's Final Smash turning out pretty much like that would be a safe bet. A lot of the super moves in the Heroes games were taken straight from Battle Road Victory, although they're shortened and simplified.
I just want one DQ game where "EVERYMONSTER IS HERE!"
Wait, this is an Ultimate thread isn't it? It's under Ultimate Character Discussion.
Huh. That was released a month ago. If Simon's artist drew his Smash design a couple months before reveal, I wonder if this should be used as circumstantial evidence.
It's not a hint. The artbook's original Japanese release was in 2017, and I think that particular drawing is from earlier than that.
Nah, like Rumble Red just said, the book was released in 2017 in Japan, and the drawing is a bit older too (around 5 years) but it's a good insign of what Erdrick should probably be like in Smash Ultimate.
The fans like the main series so much because it sticks to the traditional genre. I agree with the idea of creating more spin-offs that can have action, and I'd play them. If they turn the main series into an action one, who's going to hold the fort for turn-based rpgs?
Ok, so I guess you dont like FF. But it's a great franchise for a lot of people. I really like it, and I like that they try to make things novel and even experiment. I mean, they're pretty much known for that now, and I look forward to what they'll do next.
I guess we think about the same on that. I think they can keep upgrading the same formula and just make it really good for what it is. I hope they innovate a bit more than pokemon. Well, pokemon could innovate a lot more too.I think the question that people keep asking the DQ staff every stream has to be "Do you plan on experimenting with action RPG genre".
And I have to agree with the devs that they should keep it that way.
Spinoffs, a whole different story. I'm all for action DQ games such as Heroes or heck, DQ Swords turned into a parallel series would be great! Or maybe a new one which goes more into hack & slash territory.
There's so much they could do. But it seems to me that the DQ team is rather small... Or maybe it seems that way to me because we don't get every single thing they pump out.
But I hope they never change the main series formula. DQ is a series I play to relax. And if this day and age can have Pokemon and Golden sun would be welcomed back, then DQ can keep being turn based.
Dang, I rambled.
Whatt. I mean, that's possible, but sakurai used the classic megaman, classic belmonts, and just revamped their old design. Not saying that's what'll happen with DQ, there's a lot of possibilities, but I dont think they'd use those new designs because most people havent seen them. Hopefully we'll get to find out
There was a time when it was my FAVORITE franchise in all of video games.
One thing to keep in mind though.
I had to double-take there, I thought someone said the exact same thing as me lol.
Ah, I messed up the quote.
That's always been my thought.
Yeah me too. It's not hard to call something like FF Online (and DQ Online).
I absolutely love FF, but I really hope the next game is a return to form. FFXIII had so much potential to be great but is just one of the most absolutely boring and frustrating games I've ever played (never tried the rest of the trilogy), and FFXV was a straight up disaster.
I wouldn't call any game getting 80% rating or higher a disaster. There's lots of people who love the new final fantasy games. There's lots of things I like about them, including the new stuff they're trying. In any case it's definitely not the novelty that makes some things bad about them. For ff15, It's that they could've told the story better, could've put more stuff in the open world, and actually 'completed' it without having to rely on dlc. and a few tweeks to combat, among some things.
I meant disaster from a development standpoint. It took 10 years to come out, and at that point it still didn't tell the full story.
Well, big undertakings can run into challenges. It sounds like they didn't dedicate a lot of resources at first, with it going to be a spin-off. And back when they started it was pretty advanced and maybe they were in over their heads, dunno. They probably had to change a lot of stuff after everything, and it taking a long time. Well, I don't really know the actual details, but I think it was still pretty impressive of a game. Hopefully they learned some good lessons and will do better next.
Remember that this is the same guy who turned Pit from this:Whatt. I mean, that's possible, but sakurai used the classic megaman, classic belmonts, and just revamped their old design. Not saying that's what'll happen with DQ, there's a lot of possibilities, but I dont think they'd use those new designs because most people havent seen them. Hopefully we'll get to find out
They both take retro stuff as well as reinvent some stuff. I just wanted to point out the retro part because someone brought up a more recent art design that nobody knows.Remember that this is the same guy who turned Pit from this:

to this:
Sakurai may harken back to how characters looked in their original appearances from time to time, but there are also many instances where he'll straight-up change a character's design and proportions to make them more Smash-friendly.
Also, chibi Erdrick would only be familiar/nostalgic for the 1988 Japanese audience. That design has never seen official usage overseas, whereas the realistically-proportioned Erdrick has always appeared in rereleases and ports worldwide.
And it's not like the two designs are radical departures from each other anyway, unlike red-haired Simon and barbarian Simon.
If there's one thing I'd want Final Fantasy to learn from Dragon Quest it's not sticking to its roots or turn-based combat or whatever, it's budget and time management. I think a modestly-budgeted (DQXI-level) FFXVI, released complete and on time and at least relatively good, would do a lot to restore people's confidence. Kind of a Mega Man 11 of Final Fantasy, I guess, like a cheaper proof of concept that they've got the basics down?
Sums up my feelings perfectly. The problem with FF games recrnyly is that they always get off track due to one thing or another, or too many resources being poured into one thing but not enough into another. They should just keep it tight and focused like you said.
Ironically enough, its writer ran into problems balancing a cast when he worked on Kyoryuger. Although granted that was during a time when Toei overcompensated for Go-Busters flopping in sales...
Regardless of anything, I hope they keep Motomu Toriyama far away from the franchise in the future. He's a complete hack director to the point that even Nomura does a better job of keeping you invested in a story.
Motomu Toriyama, I feel like just let the "power" of directing a mainline FF game get to his head, and from what I can gather from the sequels it just feels like his own wish fulfillment (especially LR).
Speaking of XII, I did consider grabbing the recent HD release of that, since it includes the International content.
It's one of my favorite FF games, it's different from your standard fare FF in that it's not "anime" at all but it's still a really good departure. It feels more mature in a way, but not in an edgy way lol
That was my first game I had to be mindful of when I played it as I wasn't sure I'd be able to convince my parents that I wasn't doing anything weird when she was on the screen.
I mean, do you really need a separate race of bunny girls when every town has a couple bunny girls already? And it's been a class since DQ3.
Maybe not, but I'm sure someone on the DQX team was cursing under their breath that they had to come up with a bunch of MMO fantasy races and that wasn't an option.
Yeah, Kyoryuger is pretty good, but King is basically a standalone star in a Super Sentai series. The only good point is that Daigo is a really well built and interesting mc that helps the cast to evolves even through stoling their thunder. The opposite of Ninninger's Takaharu that stoles his cousins thunder and revert any evolution point they would have.
