Dragon Quest IV

Dragon Quest IV overview

Dragon Quest IV-VI remakes headed to the DS
Two low-res scans of the Japanese gaming magazine Shonen Jump have appeared, revealing a surprise that, while not all that surprising, might be the makings of a nostalgia overload for Akira Toriyama fans. The second sequential trilogy of Dragon Quest titles is currently receiving a round of remakes for the Nintendo DS portable console with 2.5D isometric viewpoints reminiscent of the PS1 series entry and overhead maps viewable on both screens. For Dragon Quest IV Square Enix is shooting for a Winter release in Japan. Scans

E3 2007 - Square Enix blames stagnation on gamers
Dragon Quest IX, as you may or may not know, began as an Action RPG. After twenty years of traditional (classic?) grinding, Square Enix was ready to follow the rest of the RPG genre in moving away from traditional combat systems into new, innovative avenues. What happened? You did, apparently. As a Square Enix spokesperson said at E3, "People didn't want the change. When you've sold over 40 million copies, you've got to listen to your fans." Apparently the same syndrome that affects children when they purchase movie-based games and perpetuate the creation of terrible licensed titles has also infected the RPG market. Can there be any hope for change, especially within a flagship series such as Dragon Quest? Kotaku
