It would be good if it wasn't on 3DS. The QoL and added content was great but the hardware limitations forced them to make compromises. But it would be challenging to play it on that format at this point anyway. I'd wait for VIII Reimagned

Development Hell (so it looks like)

Maybe VII's story is tied to it? No idea. There's been press that it's had development trouble and they couldn't decide what combat system to use. So I'd hazard a guess it's still a few years out.

DQ8 runs great on my phone. Dq 4-6 have nice iOS ports too.

This is so disappointing. The Switch 2 version isn't even actually physical, is the problem. Who the hell would pay that much money for a Game Key card. Oof.

Talking about the 3DS version, which was a heavily upgraded port feature-wise. The iOS versions are just ports of the original games.

FF9 sadly won't get the same treatment, in my opinion.
It was a side-game given a number due to FF10 (which was originally 9) being delayed and moving to PS2.
It was received well due to its story, but slammed for its low budget and pure 2D approach compared to the two previous entries.
Lower sales and and a far smaller audience, I can't see it doing great if they did actually remake it.

I've watched this trailer like 5 times. The art style is seriously incredible. I NEED a chrono trigger remake like this. And the real FF7 as well. And FF6.
Indoor for a
I'd wait. It's not like we are in a DQ drought like we were ten years ago.

Have you played DQ11? I did finish it, that's why it saddens me about DQ12

No i haven't played DQ11 yet. I wanna finish DQ8 first on the 3DS but I always postpone it.
They wanted to change the gameplay in DQ12 maybe thats why it takes so long.

When you start DQ11, it's always "what will happen next" through all of the game

Would be smarter for them to go the Falcom/Gungho route and make the Switch 2 version digital only and just charge a fee to update the Switch 1 physical version to the Switch 2 version. Would save them money in the long run. No one want's game key cards.

I am super excited about this one as 7 has always been me least favorite dragon quest. It has always seemed very clunky , rushed and unpolished. Hopefully they change a lot about how finding tablet pieces work. Way too much blind searching and backtracking through dungeons

Why does the header say "hd-2d" ?

Wait, I thought FF Tactics on switch 1 gets a free upgrade to switch 2 version? And the regular Switch 1 game is the only version with the FULL game on the cartridge while the Switch 2 version is just a download code? Can someone check on this for me?
Yes, I learned that FFT is an exception.

The already announced 3 new games last show and released 2 new ips at least this gen.
Truth is,new IPs from studios from the likes of Square, Capcom and Konami etc is difficult to find success.
But I would like new DQ and FF to come faster f thats what you meant

So I'm a huge fan of DQ11 and found DQ3 2DHD alright but could't finish it as it was a bit basic and bare bones.
How does OG DQ7 compare to the above two games?

Last info we have on DQ12 was Yuji Horii saying that they've encountered difficulties and he can't say more. So who knows what's up. Square also assigned Yosuke Saito to producer for the Dragon Quest IP quite recently.

I think it's because they are changing from turn-based (DQ11) to something else

Really? That would suck big times.

Question for DQ fans:
So the timeline is DQ 3, then 1, then 2, then 7?
I'm assuming they're still doing this 'timeline order' release schedule.

They are apparently overhauling a lot with this one.

It's more like that Toriyamas character & monster designs are so iconic that you can't just change them without it totally not feeling like dragon quest anymore it's what made the games so charming the monsters make the worlds feel alive. When he died a huge piece of the work went with him setting DQ12 development back a lot. I'm sure SE have some contingency plan for when any of them pass away so the rest can keep going and use the previous designs ect but without Toriyama to create new characters for the new game someone else has to try to do it. Luckily he had students that he taught his artstyle to so there are people who can replicate his style.
The fact that we haven't even had a single screenshot of anything fom it let alone a single character design makes me think it's this issue. Changing the covers on the erdrick trilogy to a different artstyle is one thing but trying to do that in all the game would totally kill what dragon quest is it would become some other bland rpg series.

I'm convinced it will be one of the best DQ and JRpgs of all time, the combat system will still be repetitive but fun nonetheless.

I'm feeling you. To me the time is running twice as fast as it should so that 12 years feel like 6.WTF is happening to time!
But the new DQ VII looks beautiful, man.

I really like turn-based battle systems. Enjoyed it in DQ11 and now in Blue Dragon

I know that, DQ11 in terms of design is additional Dragon Ball for me

If it makes you feel better, the west didn't get the DQVII 3DS remake until 2016. So it's really a 16/10 split rather than a 13/13 one.
Saw someone tweet this image and... I can't believe it's been the same amount of time since the 3DS version as the 3DS version was from the original.

VII and VIII really stand above. To be fair, I have XI in my backlog and hoping it gets a Switch 2 improvement.
The text sound is so soothing

Over 50 hours just for the main story. And then there's the rustic, outdated look. You'll need the utmost patience to finish it.

Slick graphics.
I dont care about Nintendo games and systems except for 2D Mario games and occasionally getting my ass beat by nephews in Smash Bros, but as underpowered as Nintendo systems can be, sometimes they can churn out some slick visuals. Pikmin and Yoshi games are other good examples where the systems are supposed to be weak but then you got some really solid textures and lighting making it look better than what should be achievable.

And DQVIII port is heavily compromised with its vertical view and downgraded audio.
