imagine how dull RPGs like Elden Ring, Dragon Quest, Xenoblade, etc. would be with AI localisation. so strange how comfortable some people are with this idea
it would be so crazy if Square Enix had another series that's not Final Fantasy that has been turn-based for 37 years. but that would require playing videogames, so I'll pretend it doesn't exist so I can make a grift about tb games dying
Oh no! The eShop is closing down! Wouldn't it be a shame if you let your 2DS/3DS become a paperweight? well fear not, as you have the best retro emulator that is waiting for you to unlock its full potential. hope this infographic is useful
DQ1~3 act as the crossroads for the DQ series in terms of lore, so I am hoping that the remakes will expand on their connections to other parts of the series
When coming up with the design for Stella in Dragon Quest IX, all Yuji Horii did was give Akira Toriyama a copy of 小悪魔ageha (fashion magazine) and asked him "isn't it good to be a gal?"
The developers of MelonDS (a Nintendo DS emulator on PC and Android) are currently working on a Netplay feature that emulates the local wireless play feature of the Nintendo DS.
If successful, this will mean Dragon Quest IX co-op will work over the internet!

Here are some of the sprites from Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake! Includes the male & female Hero variants, a slime & she-slime and all of the basic vocations
A dedicated group of Dragon Quest fans have been *manually* translating DQ10 under the project name 'Clarity' with native Japanese speakers in their group. It is completely free to use and anyone saying that it was done with machine translation is lying
Dragon Quest X Versions 1-4 are complete in English now, thanks to the group of dedicated fans we first reported on last year. The latest update means most of

Mutsumi Inomata's passing was announced today. She was a phenomenal author & artist who blessed series like Dragon Quest with her elegance and even worked alongside Yuji Horii on various DQ manga/novels
Yuji Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest, appeared at Inugami Korone's (Hololive VTuber) birthday celebration to wish her a happy birthday!
He gave her a signed copy of her favourite game, Dragon Quest VI on Super Famicom!
It's always surprised me that Dragon Quest doesn't seem to be as popular as Final Fantasy over here. I can't figure out why.

when Dragon Quest 9, a Nintendo DS game from 2009, has more intuitive UI than most modern games and actually uses its touch screen unlike most Switch games
I still think that the 3DS should have continued support from Nintendo. It's so much easier to take with you than a Nintendo Switch and the games made for it were really creative. This is one of the few examples of a console "life cycle" being destructive

to show just how bad anti-Japanese videogame coverage—especially JRPG coverage—was during the 2000s, here are clips that demonstrate the rhetoric and attitude G4 TV used to push to 1000s of viewers
Applied for a job at Square Enix working on Dragon Quest. The job is geared towards expanding Dragon Quest overseas.
As the requirements are low, I have high hopes for getting it. It helps that I know Japanese.
it's 2022. earth has existed for 4.5 billion years.
but even after so many years, Dragon Quest games are still not available on modern platforms and/or not available outside of Japan. this needs to change. please Square Enix. thank you.
Imagine being in 2004, when there were hardly any 3D games with large maps, and playing Dragon Quest 8 with its huge open world (open areas nowadays) looking this good. Thanks to its art style, it looks like it could be a new Nintendo Switch game
I adore the way DQ9 has so many small stories nested within its main storyline. it's an anthology of fragmented fairytales, leading up to the conclusion of a 300 year story
Yuji Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest, kicked off a baseball match in Japan by menacingly arming a Killing Machine with a baseball while giving the coldest death stare of all time

Today is the 13th anniversary of Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies! It's unbelievable that it's been so long since its release... where did all the time go?! It's a timeless game that deserves a remake and/or port. 👼🌳🍋🚂
