Topic: Dragon Quest XI + I, II, III & Beyond

@Tsurii Alright dude, tell me the problem you see in my usage or just don't, haha. No more vagaries, please.

1.) Nioh is not a Souls game. It's not made by the same people, and it's been in development way longer than the Souls games have even existed.

2.) The environments you describe are nothing like The Witcher 3. Nioh is also a very colorful game in many parts.

3) I'm still looking for the game Nioh stole its environment from. Please let me know when you or TC find it.

@AlexSays I think you forgot to read my comment.

I read the part where you're ignoring my original point about all four games not being the same. Instead you point out how two look similar (the two made by the same people, who would have known).

When you can address my original point and let me know where Nioh stole all of its assets from, please let me know.

This game of course

No, but seriously, all jokes aside, for the longest time I've wanted Nintendo to make a spiritual successor to Murasame Castle, and I think it would be similar to Dark Souls or Nioh in today's standards. Anyway, I think I will really like Nioh once I get around to play it.

Anyway, OT; Dragon Quest X won't see a western release, XI probably will.

That's the only thing i ask for DQ series on Switch

I don't know much about DQ compared to some series, but I can say that would be great. I mean, very clearly. DQ VIII and IX are considered 2 of the best JRPGs of the previous decade (especially VIII), so that means we can probably expect something great.

Having Dragon Quest on Switch is a huge plus. Japan loves it to death, so that gives Nintendo a strong foothold. Now if only the west prefers it to the vastly inferior Final Fantasy series

I am reposting this from the PlayStation 4 thread.

Dragon Quest XI is going to be released in Japan on the 3DS and PlayStation 4 on the 29th of July!

I reckon this means that DQXI may well be available elsewhere in either Q4 2017 or Q1 2018.

Here's the trailer:

The Nintendo Switch version will be 'coming later', whether that means this year or the next. Personally speaking, I am not going to wait for however long the Nintendo Switch port is due, and I would rather play this game with the best possible performance anyway.

Unfortunate they did not show even one of two things: a little bit of Switch version just to understand how and if it will be different from PS4 version, and (even) a possible release window for Switch

Guess we'll have to wait for E3

@Tsurii it's not the fact that i want the game this year. The fact that they're saying "so much" about PS4 and 3DS and not a single word about Switch, it kind of scares me. They could say something like Q"somehing" release window...

@FGPackers You need to bear in mind that when Dragon Quest XI was first revealed almost two years ago, the Nintendo Switch didn't even exist.

They have been working on a completely separate 3DS and PlayStation 4 version of DQXI ever since mid-to-late 2014. Another thing to bear in mind is that Square Enix now have a difficult job of downgrading the PS4 version of the game as much as possible to be realistically variable on the Nintendo Switch.

Dragon Quest XI will be released on the Nintendo Switch, but the question is 'when?' as opposed to 'if'.

@Peek-a-boo that's worrying the same...i will not be quiet about it until they say something

Let's try and get a http://dragonquest.com/heroesii/us/ Switch release first.... on cartridge!

Well, we're getting both Heroes games on Switch in one package. We just need a Europe and American release.

this Dutch company claims that: " will be handling the promotional aspects of the game. " for Dragon Quest XI

Just saw the earlier Dark Souls rant.

Think people need ti remember, that like PlayStation...thats a Japanese thing.

@MegaTen Which 3DS version? It already comes with two versions.

It won't happen though. I think the difference between the two versions is too big, and getting them to sync up and switch between versions in an instant seems very unlikely. Unless the PS4 and 3DS versions are more similar than I think they are. Regardless of that, I don't think Square Enix will go that far with the Switch version. It'll be either the 3DS or the PS4 version.

This is a stupid, absurd thing that won't happen but it totally, unironically should. I will declare it GOTY by default if the Switch version actually does this.

It's running 30fps at 900p on the PS4, so ''technical adjustments'' are to be expected...

Especially if they want to aim for 720p in handheld mode.
