As someone who didnt played a single second of Minecraft, my noob self is asking for sample designs / templates to help spark creativity.
Having these might be counter-intuitive to some, but to new users it could be a great way to explore the world while learning it. Having much options at your disposal can sometimes overwhelm me.
The biggest barrier of entry for games like Minecraft and Terraria is that at the beginning you are dumped into a world and you can mine and build anything as long as you have the materials, but players unfamiliar with the concept don't know where to start. DQ is a huge mainstream brand, so they will likely want to mitigate this as much as possible.
The way I envision this game panning out is that at the beginning there will be very simple and specific quests which serve as tutorials to how the game works. So your first quest might be to gather specific materials and build a house for yourself. They will tell you what you need and there will be a recommended spot where you can build the house for example. From there the next thing might be to build a shop, and then to go into a dungeon to recover some items the shopkeeper would need to run the shop. After building a range of shops, you might need to build a Town Hall, and get a mayor into the town. From there maybe you'll need to build walls to protect the town from monsters as it grows.
That's just a guess, but I think it is reasonable to expect stuff like that considering the sort of brand DQ is, and the fact that this is still being sold as a RPG rather than just a sandbox game.
