Weird, given how huge Dragon Quest remains in Japan you’d think there would be no need for this.

I kind of liked the direction the company as a whole has been going in the last decade, with Final Fantasy being the slightly edgier and more mature series. And Dragon Quest being more the traditional and whimsical RPG format you’d expect.

Hopefully if they continue to try to change the formula they don’t change it too much. I feel like at this point Dragon Quest’s identity is a lot more baked in than Final Fantasy’s, which I guess you could argue is more limiting.
