I hope it'll go lighter on the social sim aspect that 3 Houses was so big on. Less of that and more battles would be great. Hopefully a better story than Engage!
I'm just saying, I want Fire Emblem and not Persona disguised as Fire Emblem.
@Zeroo Ah, I see! Sorry about that, yes that makes sense and I agree with that. I think the graphics are a fair amount better than 3DS, but definitely nowhere near as nice as DQ XI (or even S - Definitive Edition for that matter). I don't think they'll put the same kind of effort, visually speaking into spinoffs as they do for the mainline series. It sucks but seems to be what they do.
@Zeroo
Going to have to disagree. I thought this looked great! Interesting and colourful environments. Pokemon SV looks miles behind this game. Also it'll actually be polished, unlike the jank, bugs and severe frame rate issues in Pokemon SV.
@Nintendofan83 This reply is nearly a year late lol
Nevertheless, you're incorrect about a couple of things. Development of Dragon Quest XI began in early 2014. It was released in Japan approximately 3.5 years after development began.
Dragon Quest XII has been in development since June of 2019 already. It'll likely be a Fall '22 release in Japan and in the West if they do a worldwide release. Unlikely though. Probably Fall 2023 for the West. Was a long time when this article was new but currently that would give us about a 2-3 year wait still.

Re: UK Charts: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Debuts At Number One
Selling more than twice as much on PS5 compared to Switch, but no surprise there. Switch 2 can't launch soon enough!

Re: Early Tech Analysis Investigates Paper Mario Thousand-Year Door Switch FPS & Resolution
It's not a twitchy fps so 30fps is fine. Hopefully stable frame rate though! No dips!
Re: Sea Of Stars Scores A Physical Release On Switch Early Next Year
@Aurumonado Same here! Although next week I'll be chipping away at Starfield...for probably at least 6 months straight. SoS is next to play though!
Re: Hugely Anticipated Turn-Based RPG 'Sea Of Stars' Has Gone Gold
@Teksetter Yes, there will be a physical release for all consoles it's releasing for.
Not available at launch but is coming at a later (undisclosed) date. Likely within 60 days post release.

Re: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Has "One Save Slot Per Switch Account"
@Zeroo Bland looking world? It may be time for you to get your eyes examined...
Re: Gallery: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince "Sneak Peek" - Heroes, Story & World
@Zeroo Dragon Quest Monsters 3 (or The Dark Prince) looks substantially superior to any Pokemon game ever released.
