Memes don't matter if there not popular

Forgive my audience, I meant an even BIGGER audience, as in a mainstream audience not a audience at all. DQ has memes now, that's unheard for the series ever that used to be non existent and hard dark ages with no releases. I think it depends on Nintendo's marketing strategy for the nexts two months which they seem to have started since that new trailer released. But no I disagree I think it will start getting mainstream alot faster, starting with the switch release.

DQ XI S wouldn't have an audience without Smash! So yes its a combined effort, the main series has to be a good game to be successful and bring new fans! But if your game sells 5000 copies then its not a success or saved the series!

I feel like this guy just doesn't understand the series and doesn't understand DQ. The series is tradional and with a silent protaganist for a reason, game developers and Yuji Horii explain why in countless interviews. DQ is all about bringing old school mechanics and RPG game design to modern graphics and storytelling. It's not FF, your not gonna see it drastically change with each entry and this game design structure has worked and that's why people love the series! Along with other things like lightheartedness, humor, amazing storytelling, depth, easy access game design, Toriyama art. creativity, etc. So what do you guys think of this non-DQ fan critique of the series. I'll put the link below and I posted and commented myself in the video explaining all this but I felt like this guy just misunderstands the series and doesn't realize what makes DQ, DQ and loved by so many fans around the world. I am happy he brought on DQ fans to speak their piece on why they love DQ, at least.

So what do you guys think of the progression of Dragon Quest now that its mainstream, where do you guys see the series going from here and growing as a whole. Smash bros saved the series and now DQ is on a upwards spiral in popularity in the States and the West. Also what do you guys think of the Hoes Mad meme lol, that the Smash Bros community created which is pretty funny. We made it, DQ is finally popular and making memes and Dragon Quest XI S is on its way to take off the series in the west and be mainstream.

In my opinion, this kind of fan frustrates me for a number of reasons but what do you guys think of this type of person on the internet who won't support Dragon Quest because of the views of one man being Sugiyama.

Your fine your just known for your insanely long posts like these, how did you have the energy to make these posts like this almost everytime?

Which means if we combine all the sales DQ XI prob already sold 500-600k by now in NA. Being Steam, physical, and digital

I understand that, but his post more than double so we don't know how much more over it actually is. I'm just saying unless its Pokemon no game is gonna sell too big on handhelds, just medium numbers relative to the popularity of the franchise on DS. But a PS4 counterpart for the same franchise will sell bigger overall outside of japan being main entry.

Well with DQ XI being a PS4 game its probably much higher since console games are bigger in the US and the marketing was stronger

Nothing new here I just wanted to post it and get your thoughts on the video. The comments people are giving alot of hate on inaccuracies and off topic political comment on Sugiyama's views or just typical roasting on the music that you typically see with DQ XI over here as usual, some people agree some people don't what do you guys think of it.

If Steam already did 100k almost certain the number would be bigger, what do you think the ratio of physical vs digital for XI to be excluding Steam sales we know

What happened to NPD sales for DQ XI

You guys are overthinking it, I'm simply say at the end of the day I've seen God of War commercials, Super Mario Odyssey commercials. Mario Luigi Superstar saga commercials and so on. Basically whatever channels those commercials are airing on DQ should do the same because regardless of popularity levels of the franchise, DQ is still a big budget AAA game regardless if its still growing an audience in the west still

And thats great for your scenario, but just think of the masses when we talk about this. TV is still the easiest marketing platform and the biggest, it puts content in front of people who aren't trying to find it like the good ol days. The only thing thats similar is Youtube and some ads on Twitter/FB but TV is still a big market for now
