Squenix is trying to appeal to the twitchy action market I guess. They've been slowly pushing DQ out of it's classic formula since the merger if we're being honest.
I mean, it is kind of a natural evolution of what we had in VIII and IX. And even in classic mode it’s never 1st person. But it’s like they added this other mode to make it feel like you’re playing an action RPG without making any other changes and it’s just awkward.
Sounds like they're trying to still appeal to people like my friend who hate the FPV of the series battle system.
So I’ve played roughly 30 minutes of DQXI because that’s all the time I have for it. It’s very pretty. They added a free camera mode to the battles in which you can run around, which is pretty pointless because battles are still absolutely turn based. Thankfully it’s optional. One big change though is that you no longer issue commands to everyone at the start of their turn, but only when their turn actually comes up and then they do it immediately. I’m curious to see how this will affect battle strategy.
No not yet, I've been focusing on playing my backlog so I'm kind of putting a freeze on any new game purchases for awhile now.
Have you had a chance to play it yet?
I've been talking with NeoCracker about it, he just beat the main quest today. Hope you enjoy it.
Indeed! Btw, was just gifted DQXI on Steam. Hope that doesn’t delay that phase much
Hey we're working on it.
Well then it’s settled. Step 1: be a successful writer. That’s the easy part
