DRAGON QUEST XI
The theme of rebirth runs right through this issue, and it’s by no means by design; it is simply a reflection of an industry that, while moving ever forward, is reaching a certain age. One where the past is as valued as the future. And one in which a mistake can be as important as success. Dragon Quest encapsulates all of this. It is gaming’s purest expression of the battle between old and new: a series that has survived for three decades, and has had its ups and downs, but has always seemed to be hemmed in by its past. People love it for what it is, not what it might become; when they say they want a new Dragon Quest, they mean they want another old one. For years, this Japanese national treasure has struggled to win over western players. This month, we find out how, with Dragon Quest XI, that might be about to change.
