I am not defending Koichi Sugiyama or his opinions.<br /><br />What I am defending is Dragon Quest XI.<br /><br />I am not defending DQXI because it’s a game that “needs a chance”–Dragon Quest has a long and noted history, and the DQ franchise will be fine. I am not defending DQXI because it’s an underdog in the gaming world–DQ has, and always will, sell with audiences. The reason I’m defending DQXI is because there were dozens, if not hundreds or more, of other people who worked on this game–people who put in time, effort, and energy–that shouldn’t have to be punished because of the words and actions of one man. Their contributions shouldn’t be lumped in, and summarily dismissed, with that of Sugiyama’s.<br /><br />It is unfortunate that, in supporting these other individuals, you indirectly support Sugiyama, but similarly, condemning the game because of Sugiyama indirectly condemns everyone else who worked on the game.<br /><br />I won’t say what people should and shouldn’t do with their money, but I will say that, if you were planning to buy DQXI to begin with, just remember that Koichi Sugiyama is only one–albeit very regrettable–man, and that he alone did not bring this game into being.A.V.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498739.post-85748922951392502020-05-09T21:26:32.380-07:002020-05-09T21:26:32.380-07:00I admit I read the first paragraph three times, th...I admit I read the first paragraph three times, thinking I had missed some segue. Well played, sir.<br />Luckily(?) – being a Switch player – I’ll have some more time to decide if I want to throw money in Sugiyama’s direction. But by all accounts Dragon Quest XI is a most excellent game…Eijhunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498739.post-55776878216745015202020-05-09T21:25:40.341-07:002020-05-09T21:25:40.341-07:00@Mike ILLER He’s informing readers that the compos...@Mike ILLER He’s informing readers that the composer of the game is, and this is the most polite and diplomatic term I can come up with, a monster. I for one am thankful Kidfenris here is informing us of this.
