The creator behind the beloved 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Quest series has꧂ revealed a surprising challenge developers 💯are facing - "increasingly realistic" graphics.
Yuji Horii, the mastermind behind Dragon Quest, says that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Square Enix devs may struggle to keep up with gཧraphical advancements in the future - but not in a way fans might expect. The problem that better visuals present liesܫ within the JRPG series' usually silent protagonists, as Horii explains in a new interview translated by . "[Dragon Quest] basically consists of dialogue with townspeople, with very little in the way of narration," states the dev.
"The story is created within the dialogue," he continues. "That's what's fun about it." The one character without dialogue, though, is "the symbolic protagonist." That way, players can more freely envision the main character's reactions however they'd like to. This sort ꦐof immersion headed by a silent protagonist is far better suited to older Dragon Quest games thanks to the graphicꦆs of the time, according to Horii.
"As game gra🐠phics evolve and grow increasingly realistic, if you make a protagonist who just stands there, they will look like an idiot," the dev describes. There's no easy solution since making the protagonist react 𝓡more vocally could make it more difficult for fans to connect with them. "That's why, the type of protagonist featured in Dragon Quest becomes increasingly difficult to depict as games become more realistic."
Grappling with more realistic graphics "will be a challenge in the future," Horii concludes. It likely isn't a challenge exclusive to just Dragon Quest, though - after all, other JRPG series like Persona feature silent protagonists. The formula seems to have been successful thus far, even with more recent ent♉ries, but there's no telling what direction developers might take to improve immersion later on.
