DQ XI was one of the most boring games I've played. Completely overmemed by Yea Forums. Had to force myself through the last ten hours leading up to the "final boss fight" and then I discovered that I didn't TRULY beat the game, I had to grind a fuckton in post to beat the REAL ULTIMATE final boss and I promptly dropped the game and never picked it back up again.

I love Dragon Quest but you stopped giving me the monsters games.

Too bad the homo is actually a likeable character unlike homos in western games

What the fuck are you talking about, America got every single mainline one except 10

And I find these way more enjoyable than any other jrpg

is not hate, is ust that the games doesn't stand up to anything beyond some entries, they are as average as you can say and they are boring in that matter.

For good or for bad they should atleast shake the formula in atleast one entry wouldn't harm the brand too bad and would make it a bit interesting, of curse I know that it will never happen.

That's why weste "hates" it.

it gave me a semi as well

t. Durr hurrr hhaa

I for one hate it because it's boring, predictable, uninteresting, slow, piss easy. When it comes to XI I hated it even more because of forced faggot character, every other character was unlikeable, and shit sounding music.

See, this is the difference between a big budget soulless piece of shit production like Dragon Quest XI and some soulful smaller JRPGs like Atelier or Neptunia which are made with passion, I liked both much more than DQXI, especially Atelier Rorona DX because that game was genuinely cute and funny, had depth, and most importantly had soul. Also the music was much better than the bombastic compressed ear-rape that was in DQXI.

Fuck this series and everyone who plays it unironically, it's complete trash and you should feel bad.

Now this is a solid 8/10 bait

> Atelier or Neptunia
You just want 'cute anime girls doing cute thing's' because it's the only thing you can wrap your head around.

Because if you compare it to Final Fantasy it's fuck-boring and bland with the only thing saving it being Akira Toriyama's art

You sound like a bigot and you need to shut your mouth

Normie zoomie who only plays mainstream jrpgs spotted. I bet you liked Persona 5.

That's still far, far better than having to deal with a flaming fucking faggot for an 80 hours game. And you have good music to soothe your ears, in DQXI the music is even worse than the squealing of the characters.

I bet you like trash like xc2

probably because in nearly all their games the monsters are the same just slightly better graphics each time. Also silent protagonists need to stop, unless you can customise how the character looks a self insert should not be needed in modern games.

>doubling down on the autistic cringe
Nice touch but needs more wojacks

Imagine being a pedo.

Actually I have it in my backlog but I would bet it's far better than DQXI in every single aspect and that it doesn't contain any forced homo shit.

Why do all those guys in the background look like they have down's syndrome?

I'll make an actual serious reply, here goes:

First off, lets address the exposure of dragon quest. The last major DQ to come out in the west before DQ11, DQ8. Hold the phone before you flip about 9, I'll be getting to that.

DQ8 came out in November 2004, to compete with a plethora of stuff taking other peoples attention from World of Warcraft, to Vampire Masquerade, Gran Turismo 4, blah blah. It did well but let me iterate people were highly distracted at its release and after.

Then comes DQ9, its handheld only. This is where things start going wrong. New generations of RPG gamers appear, and these gamers grow up on totally diff titles that are not named dragon quest. They are console players and either don't own a handheld or go to it only for big things like pokemon. So DQ9 gets played by people who love the series and others who know its good through the grapevine, but ignored by a new generation of maturing gamers.

DQ10 gets skipped.

DQ11 arrives in 2018. Twenty fucking 18. It has been fourteen years since a DQ game has garnered the attention of a console player base. There are people posting on this fucking sight who were too young to know about DQ8 and touched jack shit of it until now. Fuck sake some of these people too young to have been exposed to it back then are graduating from college by now.

They retained old fans and had a terrible growth for new ones. In those 14 years entire IP's arrived and fell, and were even replaced. In those 14 years people began to see turn based as terrible (not my opinion), and weeb RPG's as uninteresting.

Top it off with the other stuff that is often easily assumed, JP's go apeshit over Akira Toriyama style art while westerners as a whole find it childish looking/boring and cheap compared to more contemporary art styles.

I knew before DQ11 came out that it would suffer incredibly, all the signs were there. Its what happens when you assume everyone knows about your product.

Attached: pleasebe.jpg (500x500, 48K)

Because they represent the players who unironically play this trash.

Nah, that's the XB2 audience lmao

DQXI is cringeworthy every time the faggot character has a dubbed line. It's genuinely infuriating. I could let it slide if only the rest of the game wasn't the most boring tripe ever with literally zero likeable characters.

XB2: cute and funny
DQXI: cringe and gay

The West has shit taste.

Why don’t you just admit you care more about anime girl weebshit than playing good JRPGs?

How can DQXI be considered good when 99% of the gameplay consists of selecting "Attack" in a menu and the rest is selecting "Heal" in a menu? It doesn't even have fanservice, unless you're literally a fag.

Because it's a bad series like all JRPGs.

Because he is a 90 y/o Japanese man. Trannys in the west expecting a 90 year Japanese man to abide by their ideals and modern sense of morals must be clinically retarded. They are being extremely disingenuous and would likely unironically say "Trump is literally Hitler! ".

I know FPS games are just as bad all you do is point and click at enemies for 99% of the gameplay.

It's how the simple act of clicking on enemies is spiced up that makes a game fun. DQXI is not fun because selecting "Attack" in a menu is literally all it has going for it.
The music is shit
The characters are unlikeable (especially the screeching fag)
The story is predictable and boring
The overworld is boring
The towns are shit
The enemies start getting recolored like 2 areas in
The music is grating, bombastic earrape
And so on.

The name sounds like a generic f2p title

Sometime in September. Please be excited.

STEAMY PITS

They don't hate it, it just gets overshadowed by final fantasy, this was becoming especially true with the fall of wow leading to the rise of xiv
Hero in smash and the big advertising push for xi definitive edition should get it a lot of extra popularity

The only thing about DQ I care about is the Doujins.

I appreciate your attempt at actual discussion and agree with your post user. Having these long stretches of time with no mainline console release has hurt the series in the West as far back as the SNES era when DQV and VI were not localized.

But Xenoblade's gameplay is way better than Dragon Quest. Environments are better too.

My favourite series is SaGa, I still enjoy DQ it's just not my top 3.

I want to marry Jade and make her a mommy.

Not enough exposure

But I like both.
Stop being a faggot.

Dragon Quest is too wholesome for trannies.
It's the only game that the whole family can enjoy without you feeling like a degenerate piece of shit.

SaGa is sadly too good for the west.
Probably one of the best JRPG series but those retarded ass reviewer faggots killed it here with their hatred for Unlimited.

The west wants story over gameplay, and Final Fantasy got more popular and mainstreamed for story focus first.

Let's not pretend it's just reviewers. The series is too hardcore for Yea Forums as well.

I really, REALLY don't like toriyama's artstyle

americans only like the toei artstyle when everyone is a beef cake

he's right
Dragon Quest is a mass produced adventure game for salarymen who eat that shit up without question

Never once discussed it on this board in the century I have been here except people complaining about unlimited and a few Minestrel Song threads .
But yeah it's a nich series that got shit canned by the "thinking heads".

That's Atelier and cunny games, user

Salary men are the lifeblood of the world, tranny.

the opposite, the Arland games target a very distinguished audience, while DQ is for the lowest common denominator

>very distinguished audience
Yeah, the lowest kind of otaku losers

more like high power level, you sheep

I skipped them because they look gay as fuck.

in contrast to DQ which is exactly as gay as it looks, Atelier games are extremely deep and open ended despite the looks, with dozens of endings and highly complex crafting system being the lifeblood of it

Rorona for example has a total of 14 endings. 6 character specific endings, 4 normal, and 4 special endings.

Look at that gay character you posted. I'm not playing as that thing.

It feels like Square has always been over confident and self assured of DQ's success, and never learns when it underperforms overseas. Some would say that they just don't care, but that'd be pretty silly to say of a business like SE, that's just how they act when DQ fails to be a big hit internationally. Now they've finally made a smart marketing decision with Hero in Smash, and I am pretty sure DQXIS is going to be the most successful international release to date because of it.

>obese otaku defends his cunny simulator as deep
Lmao

Atelier is not gay you flaming homo. The thing that comes the closest to gay is probably Astrid in Rorona because she likes cute girls after getting bored with knight dick.

I haven't played DQ11, swing and a miss. Look at that gay looking character you posted further up. That's not main character material.

Still deeper than your press X to select "Attack" simulator to win. I'm not even going to compare the crafting between the two games because that wouldn't be fair at all.

>crafting
For what? Cunny fluids from your underage waifu? LOL

Cute girls are great main characters though, much better than gay swordsmen.

Because you faggots skip over the good questions to mock op for the retarded ones.

- Dragon Quest VII: October 2001 (one year later)
- Final Fantasy X: December 2001 (same year)

By the time Dragon Quest II, III and IV came out in the States, Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy IV had already made them obsolete. By the time Dragon Quest VII arrived, the States got an uninterrupted run of four Final Fantasy titles, including Final Fantasy IX which released later than DQVII in Japan.

Dragon Quest never stood a chance against Final Fantasy in the US.

And I should add, the first four Dragon Quest games (and Final Fantasy) looked horribly outdated when they got to the States. Meanwhile, Final Fantasy IV released just months after it was released in Japan, and released one year before Dragon Quest III and IV.

In other words, DQ was dead on arrival, but Square pulled Final Fantasy through because every Final Fantasy released from IV and on (excluding V, which was not released) was released on the same year the game got its official Japanese release.

Honestly, I get the complaints about music. I didn't actually find myself enjoying the music other than 1 or 2 pieces until I got all the way to five, then it started to slowly sink in how good the pieces are all together, even the more jarring ones that are less about creating a catchy melody and creating a very rude cacophony to perfectly capture a sound feel.

Once you get past that though, you start to really appreciate it.

I really love Dragon Quest, like honestly I do, and I'd maybe put it as one of my top 10 RPG series, but anyone who would put it above their Top 3 or even as their number one are inherently boring people. Even Dragon Quest clones generally do Dragon Quest better than Dragon Quest does.

Ok

>I’m 43 and play shorty shoot and shit post on nip cartoon image boards
CRINGE

Dragon Quest is the most by the number JRPG franchise in existence. If you've seen one of them then you've seen all of them. The setting, plot points, characters, music, landscapes, they never change. The Japanese tend to like repetitiveness and reoccurring themes, but over in the west (when it comes to rpgs) it's not liked so much.

The PS4 version of Heroes II didn't even get Ragnar from the Switch version added in. So no.

We've had it ingrained in our minds that when a game is placed in a midievil fantasy world the devs didn't have enough creative ideas also the 11 protagonist is one of the ugliest characters designs I've seen
