jay 246 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Square announced a new smartphone game. A tactical rpg this time. We got a website but it's currently just in Japanese. No word on a English release yet. Here's the website https://www.dragonquest.jp/tact/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,690 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 This is a game I’ve wanted to see from Dragon Quest, but why the hell is it a mobile game instead of a full blown console release? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

GrandAlchemist 218 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Well. Dragon Quest Wars wasn't bad... Maybe this will stretch its way in to good? Link to post Share on other sites

Glaceon Mage 163 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Calling it Tact instead of Tactics or something like that bothers me far more than it probably should. It's three letters SE. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they're saving that full title for a console release one day, but currently this seems like an old person trying to be edgy and cool using odd slag they make up. Well. Dragon Quest Wars wasn't bad... Maybe this will stretch its way in to good?No, it wasn't bad. I remember clearing all the boards/challenges it came with though in 2 hours and not touching it again. This should stretch a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites

It's three letters SE. Yeah, I have to agree on that. Seems weird they just went with Tact instead of Tactics. Link to post Share on other sites
AustNerevar 804 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Thanks Aust. Everything's gotta be a mobile game these day. There's too much money in it. Link to post Share on other sites
Xiggy 60 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 As a Final Fantasy Tactics lover, I was intrigued by the prospect of a DQ tactical-RPG. So I played DQ Wars. I'm not going to lie, even for a 3+ € game, I was disappointed. When I heard about the new DQ "Tact", I thought it was finally the possibility of a full game with a compelling story, vocations for human characters with no personality (which is the only kinda games where this doesn't bother me) and a few important ones for the sake of the scenario. And so here I am again, confronted to what looks like a Mobile (so prettier) DQ Wars. I'm not interested in the slightest, but I'm glad some are I guess. Link to post Share on other sites

This. A thousand times, this. Release it on the Switch and I will loyally pre-order and play. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But if they released Rivals on the Switch they might bring this over too. Sure it won't be as good as an intended console release but I really don't like playing games on mobile.

Brother Jaybird 528 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Who, knows, maybe SQEX chose the name because they want us to think that it's but when it finally gets here, the game will be more Link to post Share on other sites

Twinkie 269 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 As others have stated, it is bit of a shame that this isn't a console release. How many Dragon Quest mobile games are still being actively worked on now? 4? Link to post Share on other sites

I was riffing on the fact that "tact" means "discernment in social affairs", but it was hard to find an image to represent that adequately. Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason I just can't stand playing games on my phone, especially in-depth games. It just doesn't feel right. Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t mind playing DQ1-3 on my phone since they are shorter games, but trying to play DQ4 on my phone has taken forever. It makes my thumbs hurt. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I played DQ 1 on a tablet but that is probably the only full game I've ever played on, "Mobile" Link to post Share on other sites
Erdrick The Hero 982 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I always figured a DQ tactical RPG would more resemble the mystery dungeon games, just with less mystery and more party members. Link to post Share on other sites
Slimeknight 76 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 A Tactics game might work better on mobile because you just have to touch the square where you are headed instead of going through all the squares needed to reach your goal. Link to post Share on other sites
IsaOfTheWorlds 29 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Either I finish learning the Japanese language and play it in Japanese, or I wait for them to localize it and play it in English.. I guess I'll only get to play it in 8 years either way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
