Support NeoGAF

[Glass Rebel]

Haha, think I heard a collective breath of relief from all the hardcore DQ fans.

BUT FOR HOW LONG WILL YOU BE SAFE?

Safer than FF fans have been, at least.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Safer than FF fans have been, at least.

None expect Lightning to strike twice, much less three fucking times ;____; (FOUR including her infection of FFXIV)

Level 5 and Wonderflick devs can breathe a sigh of relief too in their little "ITS LIKE A DQ FOR MOBILE" bubble.

MMO Smartphone? They are really thirst.

I'm surprised they haven't announced a PS3/4/V port at this point.

Anyway, I'm glad it's not DQXI.

 

[Alboreo]

apparently coming to the west...

What? Source?

 

[AranhaHunter]

I take it this runs on android and ios smartphones and tablets?

 

[mugurumakensei]

I take it this runs on android and ios smartphones and tablets?

It runs on any DoCoMo smartphone that supports DoCoMo's cloud streaming.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Not XI? Ducktroll has failed us.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Why would NTT Docomo use their cloud platform for the 3DS?

Because anything is possible with the cloud.

 

[Celegus]

Please just be some random experiment, not a testing ground for DQXI...

I'm starting to accept that smartphones/portables are the future of Japan. I think everyone should start doing the same. They are simply being forced out of the console market on both sides of the pond.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind having future mainline Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games on smartphones as long as they're properly made and play like console games.

 

[Aeana]

See, not really a cause for concern.

 

[Magicpaint]

See, not really a cause for concern.

For now at least >_>

 

[epmode]

I honestly thought this was it for Dragon Quest. Not that it's not already dead in America.

Maybe we'll get some good news about DQ7 in tomorrow's Nintendo Direct.

 

[MechaX]

This is totally just a "Capcom Test" for DQXI.

Spoiler

Although, one would argue that a game does not ever really pass a Capcom Test.

 

[basik]

gamelofts WoW/everquest clone "order & chaos" proves this can be done...

I have it on my galaxy s3...they did a good job with it.

 

[grandjedi6]

For now at least >_>

You guys are out doing me in pessimism!

 

[Zee-Row]

Can an MMO even run on 4G? I imagine that would kill a smartphone battery in 30 minutes.

 

[luca1980]

Second reaction: isn't there a way to at this game with nes graphics?

many fans wouldn't mind it. yet Se cannot grasp the concept. push graphics. while franchise gets years to make it

 

[Jarnet87]

I don't know whether to laugh at the expected troll move, or just sit in silence. Enix has stooped to new lows even trolling their DQ fan base.

I believe it's streaming a screen from a remote server which is doing the heavy lifting. So this is going to have outrageous data requirements.

look at my above post and video for order & chaos...

that game kills my s3 battery in 2-3 hours on 4g and wifi if i'm not plugged into power.

 

[jaxword]

Is... everything for SE going to IoS and Smart Phones?

Yes.

That is where the industry is going.

Cloud gaming, on a mobile network... does Japan have data caps? Or is it over Wi-fi only?

Mobile networks in Japan, at least through DoCoMo go up to 7gb flat rate, and then per kb after that. I seriously doubt it's wi-fi only. I'm constantly disappointed with Japan's wi-fi penetration, and I live in a major city.

 

[M3d10n]

Cloud gaming, on a mobile network... does Japan have data caps? Or is it over Wi-fi only?

Since it's exclusive to Docomo's own network, I believe it will be unmetered. I'd be more worried about latency.

 

[clem84]

Why is every DQ news bad news??? WHEN WILL AMERICA GET SOME GOOD DQ NEWS??? :'(

 

[IdreamofHIME]

My buddy joked that since each Dragon Quest is usually reserved for the most popular platform at that time, that DQ11 would be iOS. I lol'd so hard in his face....

....now I can taste my own salty tears
