Text from Automaton Media, describing the dissatisfaction of Dragon Quest VIII and IX producer Ryutaro Ichimura over how safe Square Enix was playing the DQ franchise that the time he left: "As examples, he cites Dragon Quest Builders, which was developed as a Dragon Quest-take on Minecraft, and Dragon Quest Walk, inspired by Pokémon Go. He also mentions proposals for projects modeled after hits like PUBG and LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum. Ichimura grew dissatisfied when these kinds of projects (he calls them “pakuri kikaku” or “copycat projects”) multiplied, as he believed the role of the Dragon Quest IP was to lead innovation, not follow in the steps of others. Meanwhile, several of his own proposals were allegedly shot down, including an idea for a “Dragon Quest Marker” game in which players could learn about worldbuilding and story structure through gameplay, and then build their own Dragon Quest-style games."
