Chunsoft president comments on Dragon Quest X
Chunsoft president Kouichi Nakamura has weighed in on Dragon Quest X. Nakamura worked on the first Dragon Quest game back in 1986, but he did a lot more than you may think. Nakamura was actually one of the primary contributors on that title.
When asked about Dragon Quest X, Nakamura said:
“Well, this is just my opinion, and I’m only speaking for myself. I see a lot of people are upset that Dragon Quest X will be an MMO. But to me, much of what made Dragon Quest successful in the first place was that it took hardcore, difficult RPGs like Ultima and Wizardry and made them accessible to the masses so that everyone could play and enjoy them. These days, MMOs represent that kind of demanding, hardcore game. So, it only seems natural to me that Dragon Quest would attempt to make that genre something everyone can enjoy as well.”
