GN Version 5.0

A big-name, big-budget game releasing today that doesn't include a single bit of DLC or microtransactions. It's almost unthinkable, isn't it? Well believe it, beucase that's the case with Dragon Quest XI. In an interview with USGamer, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii explained why.

"Dragon Quest XI is a very big game that took a lot of money to develop, so we looked into a lot of different ways of making money back on it. But in the end, there's that 'return to the roots of the series' idea. We thought in this current climate of all these games having microtransactions, we really wanted to go back to the idea of having one game you buy, and that's it."
