What kinda of difficulty with adult audience they are facing is what I want to hear and know.

Is that about "modern" adults? You know, the ones that don't have time for anything and therefore demands the game to be played by itself?

How hard is it to make HUGE FUCKIN ANIME TIDDIES?!

I think the game is going on the Ecchi route.

 

[Wastelander92]

Can't be that hard to make slime sex scenes?

 

[Fake]

Better not be that. If so all the female characters will be buttoned up with long sleeves and pant suits. I don't think that's it.
Any devs that push for "Modern Audiences™" is asking for trouble.... they will get praise form Twitter and certain review outlets, but the masses of gamers will reject it. Look at new saints row.

Is the only way I seeing this silly argument about 'problem'.

I mean, DQ games have always some kinda of adult themes, so IDK what the problem is about. My only guess is indeed the 'western content' with is clashing with Akira Toriyama group.

 

[Varteras]

[YukiOnna]

People say that as "negative" thing but I still want my JRPG be anime.

Which is really just Japanese style, too. Not an animation medium.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Go full action combat, it ll be funny see ppl going crazy

 

[Elitro]

Well, it's about time anime games graduate from 15 yo mc's and the plot being another spin around the power of friendship.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

So, is the same thing happening to DQIII 2dHD? We haven’t heard anything on that in a long time also.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Why are they still working remotely, especially if it is potentially causing some problems?

 

[Synless]

I hope puff puff is straight porn this time around.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Ill reserve judgement - but a grimy gritty Dragon Quest never seemed right to me.
I need my DQ with blue Sega skies and color.

Save the grit for Dark Souls.

I would like more of a challenge though - DQ11 was too much of a cakewalk.

I'm looking forward to something around the Tokyo Game Show. I hope anyway, you're right its been a good while and I need my DQIII fix.

 

[digital_ghost]

Let see how many people gonna cry river about it and say “it’s not my DQ”.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Let see how many people gonna cry river about it and say “it’s not my DQ”.

Dragon Quest has historically always been the same. I'm not concerned. If anything they will remove Puff Puff "events".

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Its going to be a real bummer if they change the genre into an action game instead of sticking to a RPG.

It’s DQ. It will absolutely be an RPG. The open question is if the combat will be turn-based or action-based

 

[cash_longfellow]

Umm just make it like 11.. what's not adult about that?

Bruhh…as much as I love the game… shit perverted childish, come on now

 

[lh032]

S SlimeGooGoo must be very sad now : P

 

[Kumomeme]

turn based for kid! /s

action combat please

 

[West Texas CEO]

DQ has been around for 50 years using the same formula , so I would imagine taking a different tone for the series would prove to be a definite challenge .

Which has been the most mature DQ so far?

Dragon Quest V ?

VII ?

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

I bet it's because Toriyama doesn't want to draw Hentai concept art.

That's too bad :/

 

[EDMIX]

Let see how many people gonna cry river about it and say “it’s not my DQ”.

bruh leave S SlimeGooGoo alone lol

 

[Arsic]

Just give me that HD2D remake to tide me over.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

I don't understand why both FF and DQ have to be targeting the same audience, and I say this as someone who thought FFXVI's change in tone was very welcome.

 

[Power Pro]

So, is the same thing happening to DQIII 2dHD? We haven’t heard anything on that in a long time also.

Don't remind me That Nintendo Direct recently got me all excited hearing DQ music, only for it to be a DQ Monsters game, which...I'm sure has it's fans, but come the fuck on...I've been holding off playing DQ3 because they announced that remake.

Also, where is my English localization for Dragon Quest 10 Offline??? Waited so long hoping maybe they'd bring the MMO version over, but when that never did, well an offline version seemed like the ideal time to do it...and it's already come out in Japan, and still no word on an English version.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

I bet it's because Toriyama doesn't want to draw Hentai concept art.

Keep the Toriyama lewdness coming, lads. I'm enjoying it!

Especially since animes can be really dark and mature as well. Seinen Anime are a thing tho.

Ooooooooh yeah, watch Heavenly Delusion, that show can go very dark and downright weird and I love it.

You should watch some 80s end early 90s anime.

Dragon Quest V has a child being enslaved after having their parent killed in front of them. If that is not mature, then I do not know what is.

 

[DevilHunterX0]

Western or Eastern adult audience? There is a clearly difference the two.

 

[Kamina]

So the trend repeats itself
20 years we already had this push for „adult“ looking games, and while it brought us games like Zelda TP, it also caused an avalanche of low saturated, brown yellow games with gritty visuals.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Conceptually Twilight Princess was fantastic. Execution was unfortunately subpar.

I always wonder what Nintendo would be able to do with more powerful hardware.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Me too. Probably something closer to this:

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

It's all S SlimeGooGoo 's fault! Why are you so old!?

Is my friend déjenlo déjenlo.

Leave him alone.

 

[Hudo]

Me too. Probably something closer to this:

You guys will never let that go, huh?

 

[kondorBonk]

You guys will never let that go, huh?

Its weird anyone ever brings this up in a genuine argument. It looks awful. I get it was a tech demo but its crazy unrealistic bloom, reflections, and particle effects that just looks sloppy. Every surface is a mirror with its roughness down to zero and elements like Fire and water are going haywire in the background like your in the middle of an ocean.

Thank god the people who actually make the games know better and they wont be persuaded to make anything as uninspired as twilight princess again.

I mean there are still old geezers upset with that Zelda tech demo for Gamecube and Wind Waker.

 

[Interfectum]

Horii: Mmm, I guess it will take a little while. This time we are making a game directed toward an adult audience*, so we are having a lot of trouble (laughs).

This is all he said? Why are there so many news articles about this.

 

[Labadal]

"Targeting Adult Audience"

Fuck.

 

[Elitro]

Yeah i know, i watched quite a lot of them

Hopefully mature characters and nunanced plots become the norm and not the exception, what i saw in the demo for FF16 while not perfect it looks to be in the right path.

This comment doesn't read like usual "development hell" problems. Seems like a light-hearted comment about navigating different challenges.
