Squeenix is a mess, news at eleven.

>>718522581 (OP)
but they said DQ 12 is supposed to be the biggest departure from the regular formula. is that not enough for him?

>>718522581 (OP)
Hahaha he's 100% talking shit about Team Asano and his generic Octopath shit

>>718522581 (OP)
Square Enix is never right.

Unironically, literally

who?

Roblox

Oh, he quit because the absolute buffons in charge of Sqeenix wanted to warp Dragon Quest in to the same kind of kuso game that FF16 and the FF7-r games are. I don't blame him Sqeenix are fucking morons on-par with the fucking morons at Ubisoft and the fucking morons at EA and the fucking morons at Blizzard.

After FF16 they probably scrapped what they had and decided to go back to basics on it. Also why they decided to re-release 1 and 2 to fill the gap. They desperately need a hit.

>producer left SE due to its prioritization of "safe" games
so Dragon Quest? lmao

>>718525107
I always pictured a real-time combat DQ more closer to zelda than something like >>718525082

>>718522581 (OP)

Cant blame him.

>>718525705
There have been several DQ spinoffs, with realtime combat. Builders 1 and 2, Treasures for starters.

Because don't actually read the articles:
>"As examples, he cites Dragon Quest Builders, which was developed as a Dragon Quest-take on Minecraft, and Dragon Quest Walk, inspired by Pokémon Go. He also mentions proposals for projects modeled after hits like PUBG and LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum."
