I don't play Dragon Quest so I can't really answer, but

>main cast look like xenoverse custom characters

No shit, the main cast of a series drawn by the Dragonball artist look like they could be custom characters from a Dragonball game?

Faggot.

this is what i want though.

This thread again? Fuck man for what purpose?

Because you're retarded if you think any of that stuff automatically makes a game bad.

How many times have you made this thread now?

Because it's cut when you get angry.

Because I like Dragon Quest games.

I've seen it here sunday to thursday.

He must be an ausfag monday to friday shitposter at work.

I don't play DQ either but at this point Akira Toriyama is just plagiarizing himself artistically. I would feel like shit taking money and then just tracing and recoloring my old art.

The only legitimate concern is the MIDI soundtrack. It gets grating on the ears after like 5 minutes. They really should've went with orchestral.

This desu

Sure it's a good style, but it's so overused.

>MIDI soundtrack
>that's a bad thing
t. never tried any sort of MIDI synth other than the shit-tier one that Windows comes with

>No voice acting

How is this a bad thing

Any music you've listened to that was made in 1980 onward has potential to be made using MIDIs. They were just made with soft/hardware that is much better than Windows Media Player MIDI playback

>>MIDI soundtrack

This is fuckin false

The 3DS is MIDI one. PS4 is orchestral

Nope, it's all MIDI.

I have nothing against MIDI itself, I enjoyed the old soundtracks composed on SNES and N64. It's just it makes less sense when attached to visuals like this, it doesn't fit at all. Plus you're gonna be listening to it for hours on end.

It's trash

Literally Microsoft/Bethesda shills.

I'm half convinced this is just reverse psychology shilling for DQ because it made me aware this title even existed and oddly enough, I'm now hype.

That would make some sense I guess, hope it's true

This is a 3DS game with a high definition coat of paint on PS4.

This is a PS4 game with a low definition coat of paint on 3DS.

>That map
Jesus Christ they're phoning it in again

>wanting voice acting

It might be the last DQ game Horii lives to see.

Citation needed

Because as it turns out, voice acting and originality are not necessarily very important in video games. For that matter, neither is having a snowflake protagonist.
The fact that the developers realize that is actually a good sign, especially in this era where most RPGs go for all three and fail at all of them.

I usually prefer midi music, but this sounds really cheap. PS had better music in games like Chrono Cross.

Also, Toriyama seems really uninspired and tired. He must hate working on this game.

>Switch version isn't like the 3DS or PS4 version

What is it?

sounds like a step back from 8

It's a yuge step back from 8.

So fucking tragic.

Looks cool

I haven't been hyped for a game in 12 years. I'm looking forward to it though.

Just guessing here, but

>Start a thread with an OP that will hopefully get people fighting
>Huge threads that stay up for hours
>Raise awareness for Dragon Quest

If that's actually what's going, he's going about it all wrong.

3ds is more retro and chibi. Switch is same as ps4.

It's pretty shocking when you grew up playing games with VA, I imagine.

>MIDI Soundtrack
YES
YES

>implying midi isn't used in almost all music today.

...

He's only 63. Japs take a long time to die.

>MIDI soundtrack
Is this meant to be a hyperbolic statement about the music's quality or is it really MIDI?
If so, that's fucking tragic.

Ps4

MIDIs are great you cocksucker motherfucker
I'mma kill you old style

It's fucking DQ, it's all about remembering being a little kid playing NES RPGs and enjoying the atmosphere. Literally nostalgia pandering.
And it's great

Dragon quest games are so boring. Journey of the cursed king is my sleep aid. Fire up the. 3ds and play and I'm asleep in 5 mins or less.

>MIDIs are great you cocksucker motherfucker
Sure, once you process them in a DAW :^)
The lack of an orchestra is worrying, unless their music sequencer makes it sound really good, it will be noticeable and jarring in-game.

3ds version just looks like an improved 9 which I have a bias towards.

You're right. It's good news IF they don't use the default soundfont from 1993.
This is now a MIDI thread.

Cute 3ds

that sea looks lovely.

B-b-b-b-but it sticks to its roots!! It's a good thing that this series is stagnant garbage that plays like an NES game in 2017!

See:
I'll defend midi, but holy shit this is practically windows synth tier. I don't think they did any tuning on how the instruments are played.

Very impressive Unreal engine 4.

Same thing as Pokemon

for real though, does 11 have the worst MC design yet?

The 3ds version has exclusive horse mechanics

Not if there's an early twist where you actually start out playing the bad guy and the real MC is unrevealed as yet

>no voice acting
Good.

like what?

Out of all the DQ MCs? Nah. I'd give that to DQ6s'

The switch version will be on nintendo direct this week.

Might have action rpg gameplay instead.

It sounds like every other DQ soundtrack ever

I don't follow the series, but it sounds less like, say, 10's and more like 1's.

>at this point
Dude

That is pretty cool

The PS4 version is undoubtedly superior, but it's cool they made the 2D view for the less powerful hardware

Cant really remember but the hirse does more stuff in 3ds. All versions have monster riding.

The ps4 have controllable camera and free movement to make your character walk around in battle.

Switch is probably different as well.

This is to Dragon Quest what Lost Odyssey was the Final Fantasy.

Ultimately inferior but still beloved for their unique setting and attempt at deeper storytelling?

>series is known for solid gameplay and consistency
>it provides solid gameplay and consistency
bud why tho :DDD

Isnt this also on the switch? Why do you avoid this?

so the best final fantasy since IX?

>No voice acting
>MIDI soundtrack
For real? Dragon Quest 8 had partial VA and an orchestra soundtrack and that was 13 years and 2 and a half generations ago

>Dragon Quest game is a dated piece of shit

Wow, this is new!

>No voice acting
GOOD.

because I can play it on the go

To be retro.

>beloved
>deeper storytelling
That may apply to LO but it sure as shit doesn't apply to Blue Dragon.

It doesn't apply to LO either outside of sequences removed from the main plot that last like 10 minutes total.

Why do japs seem to love these games that haven't changed a bit since the 8 bit era? They are the epítome of generic jrpg

>Iwata-san

:(

You literally just answered your own question

Here, have a (You), on me, user.

You better not be talking shit about Lost Oddisey

Are dragon quest games actually good or is it all nostalgia?

If they're actually good, which one should I play?I like games that actually have color and these seem to. Ni No Kuni 2 is catching my eye also.

I dont play many JRPG's btw.

Dragon quest is the last of the true turn based, dungeon and dragons inspired jrpgs.

Final Fantasty is action rpg with non medieval settings except 9.

Theyre all good. Some even have atb turn based that Final fantasty dropped.

For real tho, why does Japan like Dragon Quest so much? It just looks like some cookie cutter Babydick type rpg. What's the draw here?

Not with those graphics

say "actually" one more time you cancer

I only played 8 and it was fucking shit, are all the Dragon Quest games like 8?

actually

they're good

no they are even worse

Maybe play a few if you can go in with an open mind and find out yourself? I like them because I like old school JRPGs and games that make me feel like I'm going on an adventure.

Japs are the most nostalgic people on earth. DQ is more of a cultural phenomenom over here

DIE FUCKING CUNT!! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE

The same reason so many anime are based in high school. Japs are nostalgiafags through and through, and this is a series entirely pandering to that.

8 is one of the best
