Please give Sugiyama retirement forever into a dumpster into DQ12 announcement as well as Dai localization for the West. And a new Rocket Slime while you're at it.

Hopefully they do the right thing and make Dragon Quest XII and open world action RPG making full use of the power of the PS5. They need to aim for the west.

I know it's unlikely, but an offline DQX game would be more than enough for me. Not even new games. The hole missing there is deep to me. :(

Best announcement for the anniversary would be that Sugiyama would be stepping down as composer :p

Gross. Please no.

Final Fantasy is the guinea pig series where they can do whatever they feel like but keep Dragon Quest as it is. 11 is a perfect old school JRPG.

Dragon Quest Builders, Dragon Quest Monsters (and I hope with Erick as MC) and maybe a Dragon Quest Heroes. Many options to choose.

Edit: Ok I would like a DQ III and DQ IX remake too.

No they don't. The games are profitable enough with just the Japanese sales (and Western sales for XI weren't that bad). The main audience for DQ games is Japanese gamers, not us.

I think most games in the series are ripe for a Unreal Engine, XI-style remake. The question is which...

I'm in for whatever they announce for Switch. DQXI Definitive Edition is a genre masterpiece.

I have to say after 30 hours of DQXI I'm about to drop it. The game is too easy. The story and characters are charming and the graphics look nice but I'm bored with the game already due to any lack of challenge. It's mostly just giving attack commands and occasionally a heal or spell. I hope thwy focus on the Switch for the next entry and actually make a good game.

Key word here is "announcements" not releases. DQXII has been in development since 2019. DQ Monsters is mia. I expect the announcement of DQ XII PS4/PS5/Switch with PC sku for the west. Maybe some showing footage for the DQ Monsters and some mobile games(DQ XI S mobile port?).

Wtf, with even just Stronger Monsters turned on in the Draconian modifiers it's one of the hardest DQ games easy.

DQ IX remake finally happening? I wonder if they'll get Seth Green for the American commercials again.

The new Dragon Quest Monsters game
Dragon Quest 9 remake
Dragon Quest 12
Sugiyama's being replaced

I think the first three are pretty likely at least.

Edit: stop falling for oregano's bait lol

Expecting info on Dai Infinity Strash and Monsters 4 finally. Maybe an official announcement/reveal on DQXII.

I hope we get Builders 3 (based off DQIII). And we really need a DQIX remake.

I don't think focusing on PS4 is why it's a boring game.

I really hope that DQXII will be on Switch.

Other than that, the time has come for a DQIX remake and they should really bring the Zenithian trilogy on modern hardware

Builders 3 seems obvious but would have Niinou's departure has possibly disrupted that?
