The only mainline game I remember any slowdown in was VIII.

To be perfectly honest I'd rather SE not develop DQXI and instead it's outsourced as usual to either Heartbeat, Chunsoft or Level 5.
I'd think SE is already burdened enough as it is with FFXV, KH3, and probably FF7r.
Besides of all of the DQ games Armor Project worked on alongside an outsourcing company, Of them all the only one that was never localized was the one that was developed internally at SE.
To get another DQ game similar to that of DQVIII, I'd figure Level-5 would be the most appropriate staff for the job, if something along those lines does actually happen.
FF7 is outsourced if the rumors are true.
fixed for the obvious elephant in the room always curiously missing when the financial concerns pop up
they already said it isn't a mobile game so it's a non-concern.
Yeah but didn't V come out at a time when the Super Famicom was still new? Final Fantasy IV and V looked pretty much like Famicom games too until VI came out.
Not too many jrpgs do that.

Fixed.
1992? FFIV looks better than DQV imo and came out earlier.
I think it was generally too easy to avoid enemies in DQIX, meaning it was always up to me if I wanted to fight a monster or not. It removed much of the risk of traversing a dungeon and also made it harder to gauge the level of grinding needed. In a traditional DQ with random battles you can pretty much rely on encounter rate to reach the appropriate level for a boss. If you just go though the game normally and don't run from most of the battles you should be ok. I think I ended up with more frequent battles than in any other DQ game in IX because it felt like cheating not to fight basically every monster that appeared on the screen, when it gave me the option to easily avoid almost all of them.

Revisionism? Sorry, but no. I don't have a memory issue.
Go look at Dragon Quest VII on the PSX and say that again with a straight face. Dragon Quest VIII via Level-5 was exception, NOT the norm.
A matter of slowdown has nothing to do with how a game looks. Performance and Graphical detail are two very different things.
I'll give you Dragon Quest VI on the SNES as impressive for it's time. perhaps, but the rest of the games in the series excluding remakes, did not push their console hardware in any meaningful way.

Really don't get why the art style for WKC came out so generic looking and the story so weak. It was nothing like the PS3 reveal with realistic, heavy animated attacks and graphics. If they realized they couldn't achieve that, could have just went with NiNoKuNi art style.
Really loved the online mode in that game, felt like Phantasy Star was on the come back for a little bit there.

Because what it really is about is financial concerns if it means it's on my preferred console.
Dragon Quest in general is way up high on my list of favourite things to play and IX has a special place among those; right at the front of the list.
The best part of the DQXI announcement is that we can finally stop making bad jokes about it being a mobile game.
The budget for a 40 dollar game or a 60 dollar game is different from that of a 10 dollar game
Are you talking graphics? Wouldn't II and III also be considered, in some part, graphically backwards from Dragon Quest I considering the loss of battle backgrounds? Although I realize that Dragon Quest I was pushing things because it didn't have the Disk System.
so it won't be an art installation?

Blah....I can't believe I missed that grammatical error. You caught that fairly well. Hehe
And to think I generally try to proofread my posts before hitting the submit reply button.

Would be the ultimate vote of confidence from SE for the PS4 in Japan wouldn't it?
Hmmm, though there are certainly far more 3DS's in the wild...

i wasn't poking fun at grammar. i was just being delightfully absurd.
DQ7s visuals are really underappreciated and on a technical level it's easily on par with other PS1 RPGs and it perfectly channels the traditional Dragon Quest look.
I don't particularly like the sprite work but the 3D environments are actually pretty impressive; a lot of work has been put in to making everything a bit crooked and bumpy, rather than the normal lifeless perfectly flat polygons that you usually see.

it will be interesting to see how everyone reacts to that.
nah. it never is.
CC2 is going to wreck houses and take tons of names.

I liked Dragon Quest IX. I put in a good 190 hours. It was a very unmemorable game to me though. I hardly remember any town names, scenarios, characters, or locales.
On the other hand, I remember just about everything about Dragon Quest VIII despite not having played it since 2008.
Not to say that they couldn't release a memorable Dragon Quest VIII-style game on a mobile, though (I loved all the DS remakes). I just think they would go the same route as DQIX with MP and generic characters/world map on 3DS.
Can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning regardless of platform.
Even though DQH is coming this fall to NA? Okay.

That's exactly why I talked about a wise move. Time to push this series outside of Japan, don't you think?

Dragon Quest IX is a bad JRPG.
It is boring, with a very bad difficulty curve (i.e. too easy all around), horrible plot and unremarkable characters.

They have obviously been trying for a long time and I would say the series does decent enough for a JRPG as it is.
IMO the game was fugly as hell
they may as well have just given it DQVI graphics. i know DQ was never a looker but i felt they didn't put any effort at all in that department

Dargon Quest XI In Time and Traveler

One of the 2ch user that spoiled exact title name before actual logo leak says It's PS4 and 3DS multiplatform. Exactly same way as Level 5's Ni No kuni.
I'll still consider this as rumor, but... If that's true, it's good for both nintendo and sony user.

That would be...weird. Wasn't Ni No Kuni differernt games on the different systems?

That would be pretty awesome if true. But, it seems like they would be pretty different games. I haven't played Ni No Kuni, how close are the PS3 and 3DS versions?

Wow, Korean language reporting on 2Ch posts, this is some rumor.
I believe it though. Personally I'd probably buy both.
