Even though it's been three years since Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate was formally announced, Square Enix has yet to share any substantial information about the game. The few details that have been revealed about the upcoming JRPG so far have come from the 50-second teaser trailer that was released in 2021 and the developer interviews that have followed thereafter. While it's still hard to picture what Dragon Quest 12: The Flames of Fate will end up looking like, comments from series creator Yuji Horii have suggested that the game would be a fairly significant departure from the usual DQ formula.
