Dragon Quest XI Will Be Full Of Twists, Surprises And Homages, No Plans For DLC
- Thread starter LordOfLore
- Start date
Probably won't be too hard to figure things out with Japanese wikis and Google translate.
If they do full remakes, not mere remasters, and put them all on one disc, well, that would have day-one written all over it, would it not.

Really looking forward to some dense and creative scenarios. DQVII is the gold standard for that but we'll see if this is up there as well.

Preload started btw.
Game size is 40+ GB
10 GB needed in order to start the game and another 30 for the whole game.
Plus there are 2 preorder dlc cosmetic items

If the story is full of twist and surpises, I think I would want my first playthrough to look at its best. Ps4 first for me.
I always wondered where people get early copies in Japan. Would be cool to know for the future

I can see them doing this with Dq builders engine.
Every consumer products need to be stock at whole sell or cargo stations before hit street date.
If you have friend there or connection, it's yours.
Some of them sit there before launch like 1 month, but not in DQ11 case it seem, even review copies are late.

?. With subtitles you can talk while gaming/watching without missing dialogue. When I watch movies with my pals we always use subtitles.

That's awesome. More JRPGS need to do this. I remember Bravely Default did something similar and almost the entire game could be played with just the D-Pad and it was so awesome.

That is pretty common.
Maybe is not something in US but that how it works for most of people that watch movies, series or play games outside (I'm from Brasil btw... I always play/watch with original audio plus subtitles even when I have Portuguese BR audio).
Actually, yes. My family used to do this all the time.

I hope one of the twist is that the "main character" dies after the prologue, because man does he look bad. I can't get over the haircut. Too much purple, too.
I am on the fence of buying it and playing it through in Japanese. My Japanese is a bit rusty, especially the Kanji department, so I have my doubts still. And also, JPN PSN codes have a 10 % markup everywhere, while amazon.co.jp is cheaper, I'd have to wait for the package and pay for additional import taxes, so the difference in price melts with those.
So I'd probably go with PSN.
Aeana, I think I need your expert advice on what to do

Maybe do 3DS then? It's got furigana, which may help!
I think I've settled on going 3DS for now because of that. Would make it a bit easier for me, especially since my Japanese reading speed is still pretty slow (and I have to look up a lot)... and yet the PS4 version looks so pretty so hmmmm
Import both 2DSXL and DQXI then.

Just throw money at DQ goddammit!

Can play with one hand?
I can puff puff while playing then.
If you don't mind your 3DS you can make it region free. I don't know if it works with eshop tho.

Play in 2D first, then in 3D, then the PS4 version. It'll be like playing remakes released simultaneously!
I have a PS4 but no JPN 3DS 0_o
I just wanted to make a japanese psn account via computer, but got an error. Will do it later on the PS4
I need one anyway for the demos and themes.encephalon

I'll have to wait till the 30th to start this. I've only played VII so far, but I've enjoyed it. This is coming from a person who used to have an attitude about DQ.
But the sweet, sweeping vistas on PS4 tho.

You will have no problems playing if you buy this either physically or digitally
Ps4 is region free

Yep - PS4 is region free. You can even set up a Japanese PSN account and nab it from there (if you get a Japanese PSN card).
time to grab a whiteboard and hit up the japanese learning thread!
What's the best place for getting Japanese PSN card these days?

That's probably better. You'll enjoy the game's combat, story and music on the 3DS, then you'll be floored by the PS4 version's graphics when you play it. Going from PS4 to 3DS might have been difficult.
Thanks. Good to know.

PS4 region free so no issue at all.
The only think you need to match (not talking about DQXI only of course) is DLC that needs to be from the same region than the main game (physical or digital).
I plan on getting physical so not a concern.
I'm also pretty sure I'm never buying another 3DS game ever again after this so I'm willing to hack mine as much as I need to in order to play this game.
Hacking a 3DS for the purpose of region freeness is extremely, extremely easy these days. http://3ds.guide
Once you have the custom firmware installed as per there, you can do everything including use the eShop and update to the latest firmware whenever it's released.

I'm compiling a list of spells of restoration for the OT. I have the one from the Hiroyuki Yamada/Yuji Horii video, and the one from DQ2 that's confirmed to work. If anybody comes across any more, let me know. I'll also add some of the special ones from DQ1 and DQ2 that haven't been confirmed to work so people can try them and see.

I hope one of the twists is more playable characters. I wanna play as goatee guy.
Some spell link that may be helpful later.

So there will be DLC, just when we least expect it?
