Discover Mysterious Caves

During your adventure, youll come across dungeon-like caves. Inside these caves, there may be valuable materials.

Gates to Unknown Areas

As you progress through the story, youll gain access to Travel Gates, which will send you off to new areas.

Unique Characters

By listening to what the people living in the game world have to say, you can get hints that help in reviving the town. These are important characters that will become guides on your adventure.

Rolondo is the bearded and dignified son of the former mayor of Merkid. Whats written in the Merkid Record book he possesses will apparently help in the towns revival.

Prinn is a girl overlooking the towns reconstruction. Shell present the hero with a variety of requests.

Youll also come across characters left behind in monster dens. You can drive away the monsters, save them, and bring them back to town

Gather the Masses

Gathering townsfolk is indispensable to the towns development. Players should explore a variety of areas in attempts to locate and return people who have been scattered to the town.

It reminds me of something.

I'm not quite sure what.

Are those higher res Vita screens? The lighting/shading looks more flat than I remember and geometry more simplified?

Omnistalgic · Oct 19, 2015

Amazing what a nicer art style and story direction can do. I think I might get this day one...

ShogunDarius · Oct 19, 2015

I will play this

Probably just looks better in motion - dont think they would use Vita screenshots for promotion when there is a PS4 version.

Kouriozan · Oct 19, 2015

Is multiplayer still not confirmed?
I might have to import it, not feeling like it'll be localized.

Arkeband · Oct 19, 2015

The townsfolk rescue is very Soul Blazer.

Hades Hotgun · Oct 19, 2015

Is single player only confirmed or has there been mention of co-op?

My wife and I were really excited by this game, but without co-op it is gonna be a pass, just like DQH1.

Begaria · Oct 19, 2015

Looks so good.

If Verendus is to be believed all the PS4 DQ games are being localized (Heroes, Builders, XI). Who knows about the Vita/PS3 versions.

Those are ps4 screens, we can see the imput "options" in one of the screens.

Ferr986 · Oct 19, 2015

Caverns yay!

Pls SE hurry up and announce it for the west!

Kenzodielocke · Oct 19, 2015

Square would be really dumb to not localize this. SE will localize everything that comes out on PS4, otherwise there is no point to do a PS4 version.

Jeels · Oct 19, 2015

Considering the turn around for Heroes I doubt we see this until Fall 2016...

Blablurn · Oct 19, 2015

looks amazing

square pls

"What if Suikoden played more like Minecraft?"

nikos · Oct 19, 2015

Not really into these types of games, but this one looks great. Will probably pick it up if it gets localized.

SigSig · Oct 19, 2015

Those screenshots made me realize, again, how nice Minecraft could look if it just got rid of those horrible programmer art models, programmer art textures and, well, the whole engine and basically everything.

Oh, that's slightly disappointing then. Maybe SE should've hired Silicon Studio to make it, 3D Dot Game Heroes looks better technically I think.

Always loved that aspect of Soul Blazer. It was so exciting reviving a bunch of people and animals and then leaving the dungeon to see what they had to say. Not a fan of how this was done in Gaia and Terranugma though.

Anyway this game sounds great. I don't actually own Minecraft and have only played a demo for a couple of minutes so the concept here will be rather fresh to me. Will buy in a heartbeat if it comes out in the US.

other than the few hundred thousand it will sell in japan

totowhoa · Oct 19, 2015

I've never been big on minecraft or DQ, but I've gotta say... Combining the two is incredibly appealing to me for some reason. I think I like the idea of minecraft grounded in a more fleshed out universe.

Katori · Oct 19, 2015

Not a huge DQ fan but between this and Heroes the franchise is doing some really interesting things. Will pick this up.

Cross-buy?

Funny, people gripe about Dragon Quest sticking with black text boxes and 8-bit sound effects.

Bear Force One · Oct 19, 2015

This is as beautiful as Minecraft is hideous.

SO IN!

GodlyTwins · Oct 19, 2015

Oh damn, the game looks awesome!

Sesuadra · Oct 19, 2015

I usually don't use that kind of language but good god I am so ********* for that game.

I need it.

Cornbread78 · Oct 19, 2015

oh wow.. just wow..

Newtype-001 · Oct 19, 2015

I love it all.

Dead Prince · Oct 19, 2015

Not happening, wait till this is out or closer to it's release date for that.

FullMetaltech · Oct 19, 2015

When is the release date for this? Id really like them to bring this over to the west right after.

darksagus · Oct 19, 2015

This looks like a Dragon Quest meets Minecraft meets Dark Cloud. I like it.

m@cross · Oct 19, 2015

I could see myself buying and enjoying this game based on the information to this point.

Kyoufu · Oct 19, 2015

I'll definitely play it but I don't know how long it'll hold my attention. Building games aren't really my thang.

Rebuilding Alefgard is a pretty cool concept though.

so basically PGW. gotcha.

Vita version!!
Also with female protag.

Edit: Whole video is pretty nice if you can spend 20 min.

autoduelist · Oct 23, 2015

This looks amazing, and I've never liked games like Minecraft or Terraria. I hope they nail base/town building just right.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
