https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/07/dragon_quest_xii_could_shape_the_next_10_to_20_years_of_the_series

In the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, Square Enix's president and CEO Yosuke Matsuda has mentioned how it could potentially pave the way for the series' direction over the next 10 - 20 years:
Dragon Quest XII is being developed taking into account the next 10 to 20 years of the Dragon Quest series... There are parts that remain consistent with the traditional image of Dragon Quest, but new elements are also necessary. After all, as a brand we always need to innovate.


Very excited to see these changes that Yuji Horii is gonna make.

I get the feeling the first time we see the battle system in action it will remind people of final fantasy VII remake

Speaking of the boat, it got quite confusing when I met the boat's pilot Dave. As this is what I named the Hero

It's probably not going to come out for another 4 years, so this tracks

This is about as likely to happen with DQ as it is with the next Pokemon.

I mean he did specifically say they're changing the battle system

maybe it won't be as drastic, but I'm betting it will be more action based

You think that's bad? I named the main character Eric...

I'm thinking it's still turn-based but there's going to be some sort of chain/combo mechanic so as to make turn order more strategic, ala P5 or FFX. Or at least that's what I'm hoping! I honestly don't see how DQ does an ARPG without giving up its identity entirely.

Reminder that DQ9 was originally supposed to have real time combat before fan outcry made them change it....

I mean they released 8 games in a row over a span of almost three decades while making just the most incremental changes to the battle system. What did they expect?

Dragon Quest wouldn't feel right without a turn based battle system for me. I miss those.

Dragon Quest without a turn based battle system... Is that really Dragon Quest?

DQ going to an action combat system would be abandoning their niche and corresponding comparative advantage. The game might still be good, but it would be a huge mistake imo.

I dunno if Id want it to go action battle system, but seeing a good amount of changes would be kinda nice. I like 8 and the 2/3 acts of 11 Ive played, but still feel like they could improve stuff. Theyre both decent, but not amazing and so far theyre the two Ive liked most by quite a lot

I'm with you. The "modern" battle systems are a lot more miss than they are hit with me.
