The long-serving top producer of legendary RPG series Dragon Quest has stepped down from the role, according to sources that spoke to RPS Maw tribute site Bloomberg. Yu Miyake, who has been involved with numerous DQ games since he joined Enix in 1989 as marketer on DQ books, is moving on to head up Square Enix’s mobile games.
The change comes as part of shake-ups at Squeenix under new President and blockchain enjoyer Takashi Kiryu, who Bloomberg point out has committed to reverse SE’s flagging sales of both big releases (like Final Fantasy 16) and mobile titles (like Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis), possibly so he can profit handsomely enough to construct himself an arm-mounted Australian Shepherd launcher (like Final Fantasy 8.)

It’s always interesting to see changes in leadership within gaming companies, especially when it comes to long-standing figures like Yu Miyake. I wonder how this shift will impact the future of the Dragon Quest series and Square Enix as a whole, especially with the focus on mobile games. As a fan of strategy and tactics in gaming, I’m curious to see what new innovations will come from this new direction. Exciting times ahead for sure! #gamersunite
