I have never played Dragon Quest but I can clearly tell how huge this franchise is. And that exact thing is what tells me they know their shiz. Like, this isn't the dumb "wow look at this!" marketing. It is a game that knows what it's doing because every single other RPG in one way or another has based itself off of this. If I end up playing this, I am looking forward to playing the other Dragon Quest games. I mean, an entire 16-bit adventure behind the already awesome 3D open world adventure? This game seems exploding with content, and the side stories for characters only add more.

Going to Sony would have really helped, even just getting a trailer into Sony's E3 conference. At least Nintendo is doing it this time around, hopefully it does a lot better in the West on Switch.

They definitely did the series justice in this direct almost giving it as much time as fire emblem.

I can't believe I've been missing out on this franchise my whole life. This is an RPG. And I LOVE how the marketing talks about stuff we should actually care and look for. A classic chosen-one story, an artstyle reminiscent of the old days, tight, well thought out gameplay (they even go as far as to say 'balanced gameplay' which is something EVERY RPG should focus on, especially nowadays where they seem to be focusing on being too accessible or too easy), the feel of freedom, the fact that they satisfy the always conflicting two sides of 2D and 3D that has plagued modernized RPGs born in the early stages of gaming... And I'm just saying this based on impressions. Never played DQ. This is what the trailer is telling me and it works. Should I get into Dragon Quest as a whole? If I buy this, will this get me to taste what the franchise is about across all of its generations?

no. You market it without possibly making the extra stuff Switch Exclusive. Bringing it out including extra content? OK, but then not without screwing over fans who bought it on PC/PS4 a year before the Switch launch. Otherwise I can't help but to look at this as them trying to make people who already bought it for PC/PS4 buy the game again for the extra stuff. Which for some would mean to also buy a switch.

Time to play this game again 🙌🙌
