Sakurai defends Dragon Quest X, says he's 'greatly looking forward to it'
Dragon Quest X is going to have a major online feature, and some fans of the series are being pretty vocal about how they don't like the direction. For whatever reason, a Twitter follower of Masahiro Sakurai asked for the dev's opinion on Dragon Quest X. Here's what Sakurai had to say.
"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."
I wonder if Sakurai is going to take this 'sudden change' approach with Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS!
