A new update from Yuji Horii has provided some reassurance for fans of Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate. In a recent livestream, the creator confirmed that development is ongoing and expressed his enthusiasm for bringing the game to life.
Despite some concerns raised by the passing of Toriyama, one of the original creators, Horii emphasized the team’s commitment to delivering a high-quality experience that stays true to the series’ roots. The update also comes with a nod to fans who have been eagerly waiting for more information about the game’s story and gameplay mechanics.
However, some fans remain cautious due to concerns over the potential direction of the game and the loss of Toriyama’s creative input. While Horii has assured fans that the team is working hard to ensure the game meets their expectations, others are still hesitant to jump back into the world of Dragon Quest.
The upcoming release of Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate on the Switch or possibly Switch 2 has generated a lot of excitement among fans, who are eagerly waiting for more information about the gameplay mechanics and story. Will Horii’s reassurance be enough to win over those who were initially hesitant, or will some fans remain skeptical? Only time will tell as the release date approaches.
In the meantime, fans can take comfort in knowing that development is still ongoing and that the team is dedicated to delivering a top-quality experience. With any luck, the game’s release will bring back the magic of Dragon Quest for a new generation of players.
