DQ bros, I'm sad.

 

[GateofD]

They stopped calling the main character Hero? I see what they're doing..

 

[Northeastmonk]

Did they say who did the art? RIP Akira Toriyama. I wonder if he left some sorta blueprint to future entries.

I mean I understand the armor, but there is a visible bump on the armor. Like it's not flat, but has a bump to it.

To me that doesn't look like a bump in armour, it looks like underlying muscle deforming a shirt

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Lol, what the fuck is that character design?

 

[RoboFu]

That's an obvious Toriyama design lol.

exactly! dude was doing quasi-gay homo erotic gender swapping since the 80s.

 

[Minsc]

Neogaf: "Dragon Quest 12 is gay. They ruined it!"

Meanwhile in DQ 11:

Just kidding. I somewhat agree with the criticisms.

DQ12 gay wishes it could have a fraction of Slyvando's gay, I wouldn't be surprised if Slyvando by himself is better than the entirety of the DQ12 cast.

 

[belmarduk]

The game looks fantastic but it was so disappointing that its likely still years away.
DQXI came out in 2017.
Ugh.
The hell is wrong with Square these days?!?
At least Elliot is coming soon.

 

[Hector Hall]

H Hector Hall P3 and 5 are massively different from each other, though. The dungeons in P5 are a massive upgrade over Tartarus imo, and the graphics are way better in general too.
I still love P3 and it's got a better story, but yeah

Come on, they are better but it's exactly the same. Fortunately we didn't get procedurally generated dungeons in P5 against P3/4(well, Mementos had them) , and the Tartarus in P3 Reload was somewhat tweaked, but it's pretty much the same. You sure don't spend 10 years doing some quite simple 3D dungeons or implementing the negotiation with monsters as in P5.

Enix and Atlus are sure pushing things to the limit development wise, their games are great but not better that other Japanese developers that churn out games each 2/3 years.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

The armor is fine, but fucker needs to hit chest day ffs but no there's no titty bumps there that's reaching.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

The main character has different titles in every game I believe. Luminary has been the go to one.

 

[Liopleurodon]

Honestly, I liked what I saw.

Protagonist is also cool, IMO.

 

[Haint]

Character looks stupid AF, but the graphics and CG cartoon art style look fantastic and are perfect for a DQ game.

 

[MagiusNecros]

DQ bros, I'm sad.

Time to pull out my 3DS.

 

[uncreativename]

fucker needs to hit chest day ffs

If gaf made the main character of a heroic rpg :]

I'd play that game

 

[TintoConCasera]

Time to pull out my 3DS.

The only DQ games I haven't played are I, II, IX and X.

IX looks cool but I felt I was missing out because of playing it like a single-player entry. Might be time to give it another chance!

 

[Meicyn]

Looking for a good JRPG with great character designs? Monster Hunter Stories 3 is right over there. A lot of you ignored it. And you can customize the main character to your liking.

 

[Hudo]

Nah, GAF will never be able to make something as based as Conan. GAF will make some cringe "chad" that objectively looks horrible.

 

[Sethbacca]

The 1 & 2 HD-2D remakes are pretty fantastic if you can find a good deal on them.

You can make your own Party members and gear them up and everything. Or go full solo for the extra challenge(more grindy). Even without some of the streetpass only stuff it's still a huuuge game.

I should continue my Solo run sometime.

I and II are awesome. I'll probably get the remakes eventually and play them with mods, but what I did was I downloaded a rom of the super famicom remake collection and used a translation patch. They were both great, although you can really tell that the ending of 2 was never balanced lol

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Everything looks great except for the main character design, and it appears they are explaining his tired look with the dream angle. I'll keep my pitchfork down and wait for the next update in 2028.

 

[Minsc]

So finally watched the video, and there's not the DQ charm in the party members I'd hoped for.

Environments look improved from DQ11, but they showcase absolutely nothing charming about any of the characters IMO. The Hero is actually ok in motion, but not great. Lizard hero is ugly. Girl reminds me a little of the DQVII Reimagined look, which I didn't care for, the proportions are almost chibi, which again, not a huge fan of.

But not a great trailer. Certainly doesn't install any faith that the project is even remotely close to being complete, I feel like from that trailer, it looks maybe 10% done at best.

A few vertical slices of nothing.

 

[TheLikou]

He looks kinda like the protagonist of DQ Monsters Joker, but inferior. I didn't like XI protagonist too much too(he looks like it was made in an character creation tool), so I'll survive. Well, let's wait to hear about it in 2028, I guess. But I think it's the right direction not going for an adult oriented DQ. It totally clashes with the franchise's style. You can't have an serious and dark game with an DQ slime.

Lizard character looks cool tho.

lol imagine though if in 2028 they're like yeah we rebooted it again :]
Even TintoConCasera would probably be like

 

[TintoConCasera]

The 1 & 2 HD-2D remakes are pretty fantastic if you can find a good deal on them.

Appreciate it! But if I'm honest I'd rather play the original games first.

I and II are awesome. I'll probably get the remakes eventually and play them with mods, but what I did was I downloaded a rom of the super famicom remake collection and used a translation patch. They were both great, although you can really tell that the ending of 2 was never balanced lol

You know what, I might just do the same. It's been a while since I played something on the CRT and some good 'ol DQ might just do the trick.

You can make your own Party members and gear them up and everything. Or go full solo for the extra challenge(more grindy). Even without some of the streetpass only stuff it's still a huuuge game.

I should continue my Solo run sometime.

Would love for this one to get a remake. Imo it would have made way more sense than remaking DQ VIII. Poor game is stuck in a portable system and having an active online community once again would have been awesome. Might be their next remake, who knows.

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Spot on

 

[dgproject]

The pineapple style was quite popular, just like Marco in one piece and well, pineapple in one punch man. Of course dragon ball had some of them as well.

I still think its not suitable for main character though, hopefully they have character creation like in dragon quest IX.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Ah yes that time in every young boy's life he has erotic dreams.

 

[MagiusNecros]

TintoConCasera I'd love a re-release of DQ9 alongside a localization of DQ10 but I gave up on that a long time ago.

 

[Signalis]

It seems he didn't sleep much.

Hopefully they include Mexican Spanish in the game. Only then will it be a good game.

 

[Lokaum D+]

fixed

 

[Astray]

Honestly looks very rough and I do not dig the MC design, will wait and see as they have quite a bit of scope to change things given how basic and early this build looks.

So much for a darker edgier DQ. This looks fine, the protagonist looks stupid with that haircut though.

Dev work got restarted, darker DQ is no more (which is honestly sad, was looking forward to seeing how a darker DQ would be like)
