Surprised to see there wasn't a thread for this game yet. Anyone else interested in this game?
I played Minecraft with a couple of friends for a day or two, but the novelty wore quickly off. I liked the concept, but the overall game didn't appeal to me. I always enjoyed the visual style of Dragon Quest, so I'm sure to give this game a try if it comes out in the west as well. But with the popularity of Minecraft, I think that's bound to happen.
Really looking forward to this game myself. I enjoy Minecraft quite a bit, but it doesn't have the kind of structure that's forced me to stick with it. Given that this is a mix of Minecraft and RPG, I'm hopeful that it's going to have the focus that will keep me playing.
I'm most certainly intrigued. Although, I think Minecraft is a fantastic game, with the amount of things I'm playing it's almost too big for me! Dragon Quest Builders looks a little more manageable. And plus, I'm interested by the RPG elements being thrown in...and it's Dragon Quest!
Looks like Dragon Quest Heroes in doing pretty well in Japan. I think a localisation is pretty likely, especially considering the popularity of Minecraft.
Today Square Enix’s Minecraft-meets-JRPG title Dragon Quest Builders was launched in Japan, and early reports indicate that it’s doing very well.
Producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto mentioned on Twitter that there might be shortages of the physical retail version, encouraging those unable to secure a copy to consider the digital download version, and promising that Square Enix will ship additional copies as soon as possible.
The store manager of the popular Tokyo-based independent store Games Ma-Ya, in the Edogawa district, reports that sales have been “amazing,” with the PS Vita version leading, followed by the PS4 version and with the PS3 version in last place. She also mentioned that customers purchasing the game were mostly Dragon Quest fans, and the age range seemed higher than usual.
The manager of PAO, in the Nishitama district of Tokyo, echoes pretty much the same data, and provides more detail: during the first day of sales the PS Vita version sold 34% of the initial shipment at his shop, placing first. The PS4 version sold 47%, ranking second (evidently the shop had more copies of the PS Vita version), while the PS3 version ranked third with 51% of the initial shipment sold.
The proportions of sales was 3 PS Vita : 2 PS4 : 1 PS3.
It’ll be interesting to see the final tally on Wednesday, when Media Create will provide sales numbers. One thing is for sure: Square Enix would be crazy not to localize this, even if we don’t have any official announcement yet.
I'm kinda interested and would be willing to give it a shot since its "Dragon Quest" game even though Minecraft doesn't appeal to me. It really depends on whether they release an English demo or not. They released the Japanese demo last week.
I just heard this game is coming west in October. For PS4 and, AAAAAAND, for Vita!
Is this hype or what?!!
