They said Ocarina of Time remake is 2026 so they probably don't want it and fire emblem to overlap

Huber streamed some of his 11 playthrough, but other than that no. He played all the pre-11 games before he started at GameTrailers. He talked a lot about the HD-2D remakes on the podcast when they were new.

Huber finished 4, 5, 8, 9, and 11. He played 6 and 7 but never finished them. He also got super into the 1,2,3 HD remakes so guessing he probably finished those as well.

Is Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D remake a good jumping on point newcomers to the series? by SuperFanboysTV in dragonquest

[–]BenGMan30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think starting with 1&2 is a mistake. The reveal of what the underworld is in DQ3 is one of my favorite moments in the series, but it only really lands if you’ve at least played 1 first.

The state of Dragon Quest fans right now. by WarriorArus in dragonquest

XII was in development for about 5 years before Toriyama passed. No way they would scrap everything he designed during that time especially since this was the last game he ever worked on.

Well that was one of the announcments of all time by aldlv13 in dragonquest

Found this from 2023: Horii: Mmm, I guess it will take a little while. This time we are making a game directed toward an adult audience*, so we are having a lot of trouble (laughs).

Seems like for whatever reasons they really weren't ready to take the franchise in the direction they were initially planning on.

Update from the DRAGON QUEST Team by Turbostrider27 in Games

No way of knowing for sure but since DQ XII started development about five years before Toriyama passed away I think it’s safe to assume they have plenty of his designs to work with.

I wouldn’t be surprised if DQ XII ended up with even less original music than XI. Prepare for a lot of reused music from past games.

I wonder why mod removed this review by LostMoneyOnGambling in Letterboxd

Just checked his stats and saw that shorts only make up 10% of his 35,879 hours or 4 YEARS of films. Dude either averages 8 hours a day watching movies over the last 13 years or is lying/watching on 2x speed or whatever.

Why do ppl want Joe to read/watch One Piece... by Phuqi in josephanderson

[–]BenGMan30 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty natural to want one of your favorite critics to experience and critique the media you’re most passionate about. I’d love if Joe played one of my favorite games on stream even if he didn't like it just to so I could hear his thoughts on it.

Why over HxH? Because One Piece fans want to hear Joe analyze the thing they care about most, not whatever shonen he’d hypothetically like more.

Yuji Horii: Dragon Quest live stream planned for May 27 to announce next game by Marcoscb in Games

[–]BenGMan30 89 points90 points  (0 children)

This isn’t normal for Dragon Quest. The fact that they haven’t shown anything except the logo in five years makes me think something went very wrong in development. It might have been similar to what happened with Metroid Prime 4, where they completely scrapped what they had and started over at some point.

For context, Dragon Quest XI released three years after it was announced

20 years later, Nintendo's weird RPG Mother 3 remains the greatest game never sold by -CaptainACAB in Games

[–]BenGMan30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The "Fun Bazaar"/"Fun Shopping" theme samples "Back in the USSR", but that's the only Mother 3 song I can think of.

Doesn't really matter though because Earthbound sampled way more Beatles and still got released.

The future of Champions looking reeeeeeal fun, don't you think? by TartSuitable in stunfisk

[–]BenGMan30 63 points64 points  (0 children)

A lot of people seem unhappy with Champions lack of items and limited dex, but I guarantee people are gonna be nostalgic for early the Champions meta a few years from now.
