168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Quest never really caught on the same way as its direct RPG counterpart, Final Fantasy. Try as they might, Enix’s marketing could never really b🔥reak through in the West. That said since its 1989 debut in North America, a dedicated fan base has remaineܫd loyal over the years.
Unfortunately a niche crowd is sometimes not enough inventive to bring every game in a series overseas. So suffice to say even though they have been getti🌟ng better with translating more games into English, there are still a lot missing. These ten games are some of the biggest holes.
10 Dragon Quest X
The biggest loss for fans, up to this point, is Dragon Quest X, which originally released for the Wii in 2012. Since this initial debut it has also appeared on the Wii U, 3DS, PS4, Switch, PC, and even phones for crying out loud! So Square Enix has had ample opportunity to localize it in the West, but here is the tricky thing. It's an MMO, which means there is seven years worth of content to translate. Phantasy Star Online 2 also came out in 2012 and wilꦫl now head to the West in 2020 so it is not impossible for this game to do the same.
9 Dragon Quest Walk
Technically this isn’t out, but it is in Beta so that’s close enough. If the name isn’t a dead giveaway, this is a Pokémon Go clone. That's all one really needs to know. Go a🥂round, look for cute monsters, battle them, and maybe they will join the roster. Even if this doesn't come out over here, take a look at this . It's a fun proof of concept.
8 Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3
Despite some thinking Pokémon was the first monster catching game, Dragon Quest V, which released in 1992, was obviously much earlier. From here Enix made a spinoff series that was all about monster catching aptly titled Dragon Quest Monsters. The first two main titles did get localized along with the first two spinoffs of the spinoff aka Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker. Unfortunately the third entry, which released for the 3DS in 2016, never did. The 3DS was kind of a weird dead zone for getting Dragon Quest games.
7 Theatrhythm Dragon Quest
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy was a quirky little musical RPG that had players go through pivotal moments in the series through iconic songs. It was like Rock Band, but with Final Fantasy. The first game c🌌ame out for the 3DS in 2012 with🐼 a sequel releasing in 2014.
There was a Dragon Quest version too, which came out in 2015. It's the exact same idea, but with Dragon Quest music as well, which admittedly doesn't really hold a candle to anything in the Final Fantasy roster. It's exclusion in the West is natural.
6 Dragon Quest: Shonen Yangus to Fushigi no Dungeon
First of all Fushigi no Dungeon, or Mystery Dungeon, is a long running roguelike series that started in 1993 on the Super Famicom via Torneko no Daiboken: Fushigi no Dungeon. It starred Dragon Quest IV's shopkeeper turned party member, Torneko, who traverses randomly generated dungeons in order to get loot to then sell to new adventurers. Several games in this series did get localized, including the direct PS1 sequel to this, but the PS2 prequel to Dragon Quest VIII did not.
5 Slime MoriMori Dragon Quest 3: Dai Kaizoku to Shippo Dan
Yet another 3DS game that never crossed overseas was the third Slime MoriMori game, or as GBA fans in the West know this spinoff as, Rocket Slime. The first game, also on GBA, never came out, along with the aforementioned third entry. Again, the 3DS was a dead zone for Dragon Quest games even though th♐e system sold incredibly well worldwide so it's not like this was a Wii U failure, or sometꦓhing.
4 Itadaki Street: Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary
When Square merged with Enix in 2003 there was one thing on everyone's mind. When will there be a crossover RPG starring Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy characters? It still hasn't happened yet, or at least not in the ways fans would have wanted. Itadaki Street started in 1991 and is sort of like RPG Monopoly. There was one Western release, Fortune Street, on the Wii, which featured Dragon Quest and Nintendo characters interacting. That's cool, but there were five others, which pitted Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest characters against each other, and the latest edition launched in 2017 for the PS4 and PS ♋Vita.
3 Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road
No, this is not technically part of the Dragon Quest Monsters series. It's actually part of the Monster Battle Road arc𓂃ade series of games. It's a card RPG where real life cards can be scanned into the game.
And no,𒐪 unfortunately the West never received any official cabinets. Since this is an arcade machine though it is within reason that some dedicated arcade enthusiast may have one in their shop, barcade, or whatever. The hunt is on!
2 Kenshin Dragon Quest: Yomigaerishi Densetsu no Ken
This is actually a plug and play console. Plug the system into the TV and use the accompanied sword in order to swipe at enemies similar to the Wii title, Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors. That game debuted four years after Kenshin Dragon Quest: Yomigaerishi Densetsu no Ken launched so in a way iꦦt's basically a much-improved remake, or se🔯quel of sorts.
1 Dragon Quest Monster Parade
Finally, a flash game that was exclusive to Yahoo's Japanese games website. Because this was also where Kingdom Hearts X first appeared before it was ported to phones and renamed, this writer stumbled upon Dragon Quest Monster Parade as well. It's sort of like an auto-battler. Players can recruit monsters, their caravan moves along a 💦set path on each mission and they then have to defend it periodically before the finish line. Again, it's very ꦇsimple, but also fun in a mind numbing way.
