I don't see Level-5 working on other companies IPs for a long time.
They grew to be a publisher now and I believe they are focused on their own IPs and new potential brands.

What if SE is just trolling and they will come out with their next mobile DQ F2P game on the stream? pleasebeexcited.jpg
If this is an actual, real to life DQ mainline game, that is on a decent platform and will actually be released outside Japan, that will be pretty awesome. I wonder if they could go say PS4/Vita and then port to NX when that is available. Heck, SE is not afraid to go fully next gen as they are showing with FFXV. PS4/NX would be an interesting platform choice for sure and the game wouldn't be hamstrung by PS3/Vita hardware drawbacks.
Another possibility is downport to N3DS, I wouldn't be shocked.

Wonder whatever happened to that E3 reveal they were supposed to do...
DQIX was announced with gameplay and even a playable demo with the ARPG combat system

10 isn't entirely internal. There's a fairly long list of support studios who have been associated with the game, including TOSE and Orca.
I would, what would be the point? Seems like a very unnecessary effort to go through the trouble of remaking a PS3/PS4 game just to put it on the 3DS. Might as well make another game at that point...like DQMJ 3 on 3DS that was just announced.
Been thinking about that.
Horii did say big screen, I think, but couldn't that be in reference to Not-Minecraft-DQ?
Believe me I would be really happy with a PS release but I don't see a numbered title on anything else than 3DS....then again I could never have imagined X being Wii/U either.
Been saying that for ages but always been shut down....so not that I don't trust you but any backing to it?
You could've used DQ Heroes as an example, but his comment referred to DQ 11.

I expect a lot of outsourcing tho and then a shift from the XV team to help out with VII as the project progresses.
Arguably this shows more higher budget console titles in dev in comparison to their output last gen from the Japan side. We only had XIII XIV.
A ramp up in that department.
X is kind of an outlier, they just saw the success that FF had shoehorning in its online title into the main series and hoped for the best.
One thing I'm wondering is if it's taking advantage of current tech and going to PS4, do you think with the Toriyama anime aesthetic, graphic-wise they'd go more toward the DQH/Xenoverse route, or push it graphically like FFXIV or FFXV?
Bighead mode (DQ7) or more realistically proportioned (DQ8?)
Or do you think we could see something totally zany like claymation?
No... it wouldn't be.
Cuz it would take too long or something? Or does the engine have problems?
We have NA sales and a NA+EU sales total, so I did the math. I can't post the numbers, though.

The engine isn't complete, that's why Square had to move Kingdom Hearts 3. KH3 is now moving along at a smooth pace because it's being built on a completed engine.

I might be wrong but I'm getting a vibe that after several details, they're letting go of internal proprietary tech in favor of widely used tools that have shown they're flexible and won't sidetrack projects forever.
I thought it was because everyone involved were just supporting FFXV. But if that's the case, then Unreal 4 probably makes more sense.
Whatever Omega Force use for all their games (their own I think)
It's incomplete and apparently with problems.
Isn't it just using T-K's Musou engine? I'm pretty sure the Ateliers switched to it a couple games back.

if DQXI will be announced for PS4, it will be my next DQ game since DQVIII on PS2.
Cool, hope this livestream brings good news for the series.
My bet is that we will be getting a Dragon Quest 11 announcement for PS3 and PS4 alongside more information on Dragon Quest Heroes 2 and Dragon Quest Builders.
Sony might try and cut PS3 out to drive up sales of PS4 in Japan.
wishful thinking
Overall, despite which way we categorize their larger titles, essentially increased output is a result of the following:
They're also using more partner studios that design and direct their own games, so this raises the amount of titles they can put out in tandem.
If FFXV and KH3 (assuming one/both come out next year) help drive more console sales of the PS4, then they will scrap the PS3 version and focus on the PS4 one
! If neither do well for the console.....I guess it will be a cross-gen game, with Dragon Quest 12 being a PS4-online game.
Edit: Damnit X(. I will fix that right now

Please, PS4!!

KHXV!? lol
i just thought i heard that dragon quest does really well in japan, so it would be a good title to help sell PS4s.
LTGL Engine, Koei Tecmo's current engine for most stuff
they're working on their own new engine but I find it hugely doubtful SE would have anything to do with it outside of games outsourced to Koei Tecmo

Yep, coming in 3145.
That's for sure :'). Sorry about the mistake guys; I just keep making them today :l.
nah not really, since it was "new" as I got it and DQH was already a thing and DQH2 is a sequel
I want that Toriyama art tbh.
Look at DQ 8 in PCSX2. The art translates really well in HD. Even on an emulator
Got it. People are just being people when they shot me down then.
And with that there's even more idiotic safe proof that with marketing Europe matters. Instead of just throwing it out in the wild 3-12 months later and then whining about bad sales.
EDIT:
It's time like this I wish Verendus was around...even if he was just fucking with us it gave some sense of peace....like he made others cry so I could stay away...in my safe place nearly getting religious.

Is Kingdom Hearts 3 REALLY that far off? I'm expecting FFXV as a 2016 release and KH3 as a 2017 release.

We don't deserve such a cool game.
well 2016/2017 is expected for KH3

I think most people are expecting that (at least for japan).
Honestly I would have reversed those. Seems like development in UE4 is progressing very smoothly and I wouldn't be surprised if future games are done in that engine or other 3rd party engines.
Luminous is probably the worst thing to happen to this company. (hyperbole)
