Así lo han dejado caer su productor, Noriyoshi Fujimoto, y el director del título 'minecraftiano' Kazuya Niinou tras el feedback recibido por los fans:
[F] “We really heard a lot from the fans, such as good points, things they want improved, and we really heard a lot of ‘we want you to make a sequel!’ As part of the Dragon Quest series, I want to live up to the fans’ expectations, but what kind of thoughts do you have about that, Niinou-san? (Laughs.)”
[N]“…There are a lot of things I can’t say unless Fujimoto-san says it, but since we received this selection, I think we have to return the favor with a good game, and I want to work hard to for the time being to live up to your expectations.”
