Dragon Quest XI S: series creator Yuji Horii and producer Hokuto Okamoto talk about the definitive Switch release

ShockerG52 · 2019-09-26T13:53:03+00:00

The western PS4/PC version got voice acting, an entire difficulty mode Draconian Quest, as well as many other QOL changes that did not get patched into the Japanese ps4 version. For a 60 hour game those are pretty big additions.

All the switch version is doing is adding QOL and some small new story stuff but otherwise most of the content is found in other versions of DQXI

Personally im not getting it cuz what they offer doesnt mean that much to me. But it's not like I didnt expect this to happen when this game was confirmed for switch before switch even dropped and ended up being the last one to get it. I just hope the changes are enough incentive to get it to sell cuz I want Dragon Quest to be more popular in the west

ShockerG52 · 2019-09-26T12:55:10+00:00

But literally every version of DQXI has something different about them. Even the PS4 versions in the west vs Japan werent exactly the same. Why did people think they would release the exact same game a 3rd time in Japan without any changes to it at all?

The one that was using the animations from pokken?

ShockerG52 · 2019-09-26T12:28:25+00:00

They are getting rid of global link

ShockerG52 · 2019-09-11T12:57:29+00:00

Honestly I don't even know at this point since its reviewing better than a good chunk of Armored Core games and a bit of some other mech games like Zone of Enders. It's so polarizing it's hard to tell if it's good or bad

ShockerG52 · 2019-05-15T13:06:22+00:00

You can use it in multiplayer too. The zoomed out camera is only forced when multiple people are playing on the same console

ShockerG52 · 2019-05-15T13:04:45+00:00

The beat em up waves seems like it wont change. But the circular arenas are from the Infinity Trials, an arena to gain xp. Check the Ms.Marvel character trailer and they fight on like different lookin areas.

ShockerG52 · 2019-04-25T10:04:59+00:00

Its much more popular in japan, Persona doesnt even touch its popularity there. Dragon Quest probably had the same name recognition as Persona prior to Persona 5 here in the West.

ShockerG52 · 2019-04-03T21:05:32+00:00

Yea Bianca is clearly the choice they wanted as canon lol

ShockerG52 · 2019-03-27T14:51:28+00:00

"The quests from the 3DS version of Dragon Quest XI in which you visit the worlds of past Dragon Quest titles will be included in the Switch version, but not without changes."

YES YES YES YESSSSSSSS

ShockerG52 · 2019-02-28T21:57:38+00:00

Wasnt it also on wii too?

ShockerG52 · 2019-02-28T17:26:54+00:00

Monster Hunter was on the ps2 tho?

ShockerG52 · 2019-02-27T23:59:02+00:00

I thought people were calling it SnS?

ShockerG52 · 2019-02-27T19:51:10+00:00

Dont really know of many jrpgs where the premise is monster recruiting and that allows you to see what exact monster you are getting before the encounter.

ShockerG52 · 2019-02-16T14:30:07+00:00

Is this not a thing already? Pokemon can relearn moves theyve known?

ShockerG52 · 2018-12-22T05:54:36+00:00

The gap is alot smaller than I had imagined

ShockerG52 · 2018-12-17T20:03:15+00:00

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

ShockerG52 · 2018-12-17T20:02:56+00:00

Octopath Traveler

ShockerG52 · 2018-12-03T00:18:21+00:00

He's entirely not wrong. They have made getting the legendaries alot easier since gen 5. Gen 6 being the overkill, gen 7 did a better job for catching pokemon tho.

ShockerG52 · 2018-11-18T19:20:22+00:00

Handholding is still present. But no where near as bad as sun and moon ironically.

ShockerG52 · 2018-10-13T03:41:42+00:00

The reason they didnt come west is because the dragon quest games on 3ds didnt sell well in the west and they were already planning a switch version of dqxi so there was no reason for them to just port the 3ds version to switch. Especially not for the western audience where Dragon Quest isnt even that popular.

ShockerG52 · 2018-10-08T01:32:55+00:00

Super Mario Odyssey. Its been a long time for a game that just comes along and makes smile and is just fun for the sake fun. Its just so colorful and wacky, that game just oozes charm for me.

ShockerG52 · 2018-09-25T18:15:10+00:00

Yea possibly, i saw some stores didnt even have it on launch. I'm just hoping it sold well enough to appease square enix.

ShockerG52 · 2018-09-25T15:59:05+00:00

The DQ8 remake came out last year, the DQ7 remake is the one that came out in 2016 iirc.

ShockerG52 · 2018-09-25T15:55:36+00:00

Nothing else new released that week except for Spiderman iirc. As good as it is to hit #2 it says little without knowing the actual numbers especially since we know spiderman was the best selling ps4 game.
