Dragon Quest XI is the newest in the main franchise . But you might have noticed that there are no plans for DLC or microtransactions. Creator Yuji Horii sits down with USgamer to explain why that is.
“During the interview, Yuji Horii explained that it’s basically because of nostalgia that Dragon Quest XI doesn’t have any DLC or microtransactions:
“Dragon Quest XI is a very big game that took a lot of money to develop, so we looked into a lot of different ways of making money back on it. But in the end, there’s that ‘return to the roots of the series’ idea. We thought in this current climate of all these games having microtransactions, we really wanted to go back to the idea of having one game you buy, and that’s it.”
Here’s more from Yuji Horii on video games today:
“The evolution of hardware is just amazing. The fact that we’ve come to the stage where we can do open world games is just amazing. When I was working on Dragon Quest I we originally had such a small, limited area for the whole world, a small space to explore. But now I just work with the images in my head. My vision can go straight down on the screen, and that is amazing.”
As always thank you for reading.
