Just Announced: Dragon Quest Heroes is DQ Dynasty Warriors-Style

Ugh, this game just dropped of my radar. I only heard the name of the game, and no details, but I was expecting a JRPG. I can't get into the Dynasty Warriors' games.
I don't know about you, but that sounds completely amazing.Haru17 said:
Heck, Dynasty Warriors crossovers are always welcome by me. They already did 2 for One Piece and 3 for Gundam.

You can get one from your region just fine. PS4 isn't region locked at all, and will play Japanese games. The PS Vita, PSP, and PS3 also aren't region locked and allow you to play Japanese games as well.Candidus said:

This looks awesome, I'm way more hyped about this than Hyrule Warriors. Though the prospect of dealing with Metal Slimes in real time will likely be very funny as you have to chase them down.

Problem with DQ though: it doesn't exactly have iconic characters. With Three Kingdoms China and Warring States Japan, there were already tons of references in history in fiction (The Hundred Years' War was also much the same way). Gundam is a long-lasting franchise that created many archetypes in anime which can also be shared with Fist of the North Star. And One Piece is pretty much the new Dragon Ball in Japan. And I need not mention Zelda which has created a plethora of memorable characters in nearly every entry.
DQ, while of course very popular and influential, lacks iconic and interesting characters. Can anyone seriously NAME any DQ protagonists or villains? I have difficulty with even that. Heck, the most iconic thing about it is Toriyama's character and monster design. The SLIME is the most iconic symbol of the franchise. Had they done this with, say, FF there wouldn't any trouble due to it having so many cast members that were interesting and recognizable. And that's before you get into gameplay. What exactly could they add from DQ into DW? That's ultimately the problem; this really is an issue of the idea being nothing more than a coat of paint.

This is the most horrible idea I've ever heard. I like dynasty warriors just fine, but Dragon Quest has always been story driven, while DW is just mindless button mashing. What I worry about the most is that when this game turns out to be terrible and gets panned in the reviews Square-Enix takes it as more evidence that the western audience just doesn't like Dragon Quest. Please bring a real, non-MMO/non-portable Dragon Quest game to the US and I will throw my money at you so fast you won't know what hit you.
This game being released only for the PS3 and the PS4 really makes it look like Sony saw what Nintendo did with Hyrule Warriors and making one just to compete with them. Just my observation on the matter.
Just to make it clear I'm more of a PC guy myself, so I have no bias on either console.

Naruto technically has that Ultimate Ninja franchise, which is sorta like a Dynasty Warriors game, but it's all still possible. Really the Dynsaty Warriors games are made with franchises and series that are extremely popular, and in One Piece's case it's the new Dragon Ball Z as Addion put it. It's still possible for there to be one, but it's hard to say since Naruto is close to ending, and all I ever hear from the exchange students and Japanese 311 students at my college are that they want Naruto to end already. :/GamerMage said:
I can see that, but then I'd wonder why they don't just make another Pirate Warriors game in that case, since Pirate Warriors is exclusive to Sony's systems and hell Pirate Warriors 2 still shows up on best selling charts in Japan at times despite coming out a year ago.Sillarra said:
I'm kind of liking this but the more "realistic" yet Toriyama-esque style kind of hurts me since in both DQ 8 and 9, the look of the game felt like a interactive cartoon. Making the characters have more realistic toning kind of hurts my liking for the game but I do love me a good hack n' slash.
I'm also on the "DQ8 sequel" bandwagon. Personally would love to see the Young Yangus games translated so I can finally play them(big Yangus fan here). If I could at least play withor as Yangus in this game, that'd make me more eager to buy a ps4(or a future PS with backwards compatibility).

Dragon Quest is kinda underrated in the West compared to other series, but hey, maybe at least this game might be easier to localize than a whole RPG...assuming they don't just copy/paste script in someway for remakes. i mean i could see them releasing iOS remakes than things like the remake of VII...as for characters, we need; Yangus, Jessica, Torneko, Debora, Amos, Milly and Slival. (have you seen the number of slimes on screen?, it would either have to be him, or Rocket if there was some way of telling slimes apart from the character).
Oh, come on... I bet this game will be available worldwide. Meanwhile we're still missing out on some games I've wanted to play for ages.
Sorry, fellow Escapsits, I just needed to vent my frustration for all the times I was slapped for wanting to throw my money at 'Dragon Quest 7 DS' and the Japan exclusive 'Yakuza' games.
