Horii: “Is there a StreetPass communication feature for Switch?”
Fujisawa: “No, there isn’t.”
Hino: “We have to do something that replicates that.”
Horii: “Then smartphones?”
Hino: “Well we can use the online features on Switch whenever it detects Wi-Fi and do something as well?”
Horii: “I see. So you can party up with complete strangers.”
Hino: “Yes. That way you can party up online.”
Hino: “Although, we were saying that even if the graphics were the only part that got upgraded, that would be a big motivation to re-experience it.”
Horii: “The art had a lot of care put into it, such as the gear. If we can see it with better graphics, that would be great, although it would take some time, right?
Hino: “I’m not sure. I would hope it doesn’t take too much time. When I saw the past footage on this show, it looks really rough. We thought it looked really nice back then, though.”
Horii: “It would look really nice on Switch, wouldn’t it?”
Hino: “If its on Switch, it’ll look revolutionary. The metal armor would look real shiny!”
Fujisawa: “Dragon Quest VIII‘s heroes were lead by a rather passive cause, so I wrote Dragon Quest IX‘s story so that the hero would go on an
adventure for their own cause. I believe it was a good story, but people seem to not remember it much, so redoing it with good graphics is something I’d love to do.”
