New Square Enix Trademark Could Hint at a Dragon Quest Localization

Square Enix recently trademarked "Luminaries of the Legendary Line" in the United States is likely a title for a game in the Dragon Quest series.

If it is for Dragon Quest, the name could refer to one of many Dragon Quest games currently only out in Japan, such as Dragon Quest X on Wii and Wii U, the 3DS remakes of Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest Monsters 1 and 2, or the iOS/Android ports of Dragon Quest games. Siliconera posits that the subtitle likely best fits the story of Dragon Quest III, which means that phone ports could be the most likely option.

Is that really a dragon quest picture?
Looks like gohan from dragonball z

Lord_Sloth3720d ago

Toriyama Akira does the character art and designs for Dragon Quest.

xX-StolenSoul-Xx3720d ago

Okay, that makes a whole lot of sense. I was baffled.

xX-StolenSoul-Xx3720d ago

It does look like a Dragon Ball Z picture, just look at the dragon in the back. That or the art styles are extremely similar.

Stupid phone ports incoming.......

Last_Boss3720d ago

Bring the new DQ to the Vita. I'm not hating on the 3DS, just would like to see a new game on it.

I still need to snag my BD CE, on 3DS.

What a lazy artist, using the exact same basic character design like that is confusing. You could literally title that picture Dragon Ball Battle of the _______ and people would believe it was a Dragon ball movie.

Dragon Quest VIII 4th? Yikes. That's easily number 1 for me. I'd love to be able to play it again on newer consoles.

Zeldafan64155d ago

III, XI and VIII are my top 3 in that order. While I think XI is the better game overall my nostalgia for III will never be beat.

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox327d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.

These days I enjoy dq way more then ff. Dq 11 was better then anything after ff10 maybe even ff10. I do feel that dq12 is gonna go action based rpg. Which is unfortunate but time will tell.

closed_account436d ago

Same here. Even Tales games I'm enjoying more now days. There was just a sense of awe and wonder, that sense of adventure we all wanted to experience when were were kids that I no longer feel that in Final Fantasy games. I'll still play them, but I miss the earlier SNES, PS1 days.

shinoff2183436d ago

That snes ps1 Era was magical especially when it comes to rpgs.

andy85435d ago

I hope not. DQ is the only one that's stuck to its roots. Given its massively popular in Japan, even over FF, I'd hope they will stick with what sells over there.

Gardenia435d ago

I agree. Final Fantasy hasn't made a great game for a long time now. I enjoy the Dragon Quest, Tales and Ys series more as of late.

FinalFantasyFanatic435d ago

It's sad to see how low FF has fallen now, I always tend to think of other games now when I think about JRPGs, Persona, Tales, Legend of Heroes, DQ, Bravely Default... There are just some many games I'd rather play over modern FF.

Thankfully thats shifting more and hopefully means more localisation (especially DQX offline)

franwex435d ago (Edited 435d ago )

Strange. Gamers complain about game franchises being the same thing over and over again. DQ actually gets praised for it.

I personally have played several DQ games and I tend to stop playing them after 30 hours. Just too long, and repetitive. Most RPGs I suppose are like this-but with DQ I lose interest as the plot doesn’t really grab me.

SaiyanFury435d ago

Final Fantasy doesn't really do the whole fantasy thing too much anymore.

franwex433d ago

Ff 16 looks pretty fantasy.
