>>56346771Looks worlds apart from early DQ.
>>56346894But DQ itself changed a lot overtime too. Before 11, DQ8 was the last "true" DQ with 9 being a handheld multiplayer focused game and 10 being a full blown MMO. And even with 11 you can't even say the series truly returned to its roots because the game is the most handholdy, casualized experience in DQ yet with its on-rails execution for most of the game and absolute braindead difficulty on default (not unlike with what happened to Pokemon over time). All it takes is one look at pic related to realize how different DQ is today.
