Sakurai tweets in favor of Dragon Quest X
It isn’t entirely clear how the majority of Japanese gamers feel about Dragon Quest X, but to say the least, it probably wasn’t what most people had expected. In fact, some fans have already voiced their displeasure over the fact that the title will be a MMO.
So here comes Smash Bros. creator/Kid Icarus: Uprising designer Masahiro Sakurai to the rescue! Sakurai seems to be in favor of Square Enix’s approach, saying the following on Twitter:
“After hearing that it’s online, the number of people who say the classic style Dragon Quest would be better is probably not low. However, in a game industry where evolution and sudden changes are tolerated, even considered expected, just treading the same path would be be troubling. It’s being made by people who’ve made sound titles in the past, so I’m greatly looking forward to it.”
