I just played it and it's the first one I've ever tried, so, I have zero attachment to this franchise. For me, it seems like it cannot escape it's heritage as a 3DS game. Small areas, lots of loading, each area seems to have zero correlation to each other, clunky combat mechanics. I had no idea it was going to be like this tbh. I don't think a western release is needed. It feels like a step back even from what Dragon Quest Heroes I-II did on the Switch (despite that game running like crap in the demo). I didn't enjoy it tbh.
