Back to basics
Whenever it arrives, it sounds likeDragon Quest XIwill be a return to form for the franchise.
Speaking withFinal Fantasy Ringat this weekend’s Japan Expo in Paris,Dragon Questcreator Yuji Horii hinted at what sort of experience fans can expect from the next mainline entry in the series.
Horrii said the title will be designed for home consoles, as opposed to smartphones, and will feature classic turn-based battles, rather than action oriented combat seen inDragon Quest Heroes.
Moreover, Horii saysDragon Quest XIwill be an offline game, unlikeDragon Quest X.
So, in case you woke up in a sweat thinking the next game would be some sort of nightmarish hack-and-slash MMO for mobile devices, don’t worry your pretty little head. It’s going to be okay.
