>DQ was just a reaction to Capcom likely pulling the plug on the franchise
No, it was literally the lead devs and director not wanting to work on BoF and wanting to do something different, which is the worst kind of people to work on a sequel. It only results in those devs being held back while also making a bad sequel. They should have been moved to work on a different project and have other people come onboard.
People love to make the baseless excuse of "it would've died regardless!", but games aren't produced and released if they don't expect to make a good monetary return. It was not supposed to fail. Making a very niche RPG that also abandons established fans is an absolutely moronic move from the devs side. But they didn't care, they just wanted to fuck around and do something similar to stuff they liked at the time, which is partially understandable but not okay for a professional.
>they went out on a good note imo
DQ was a flop that is widely regarded as the black sheep of the series and basically no one remembers but BoF fans and for most of them, not positively. It has a very small and very vocal fanbase, but that's it. Effectively very similar to people that love DmC.
