OMG both versions look amazing, it's going to be hard to choose one. I hope we'll see a Vita version in the future.

[Parakeetman]

Was the word "new" 3ds ever used during the conference? I know all the media show it, curious as to whether we're getting a 3ds game, a 3ds game with n3ds enhancements or a n3ds exclusive.

Nah it just seems that they are going with the standard 3DS as they did not mention the New 3DS.

Will most def be picking up both the PS4 and 3DS versions. Was actually more impressed by the 3DS one just due to how original the idea was with the 2 screens.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I bet we get the PS4 version and NX version in the west and the 3DS version will stay in Japan.
God I want to know which version the NX version is based on!

 

[nubbe]

wow NX announcement was surprising
NX really is around the corner

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Pls be so

Pretty much have to be, why would you bring X again to a handheld.. shouldve just put it on vita!

 

[Slime]

Both versions look great. Playing through both versions has me excited, as does the potential for different 2D/3D-focused playthroughs of the 3DS version. It kinda feels like getting 3 new DQ games at once.

 

[Hitokiri03]

Glad that I will be able to play DQ on console again

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Holy shit, the 3DS version looks AMAZING.

The bottom screen stuff, I'm in love.

 

[Jpop]

OMG both versions look amazing, it's going to be hard to choose one. I hope we'll see a Vita version in the future.

Sure, we will via remote play.

 

[Toki767]

Who??

PS4 version is really disappointing. I was expecting a lot more.
3DS version is cute.

The PS4 version was basically a tech demo.

Development of the game clearly started on the 3DS.

 

[Man God]

Was the word "new" 3ds ever used during the conference? I know all the media show it, curious as to whether we're getting a 3ds game, a 3ds game with n3ds enhancements or a n3ds exclusive.

It was demoed on a n3ds.

 

[Palette Swap]

And like that, they turned every DQ thread into an NX speculation thread lol.

Great to see them committed to that multiplatform vision. More DQ for more people is always good news.

 

[Mortemis]

I wonder if this may open the door for mainline final fantasy to have a chance of being back on a Nintendo console.

Who knows about the series after XV, but I dont think they'll try to port over the clusterfuck that is the luminous engine to a new console.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Ps4 version looks gorgeous.

Jesus.

 

[KiTA]

We have one fact about NX confirmed then (almost): Unreal Engine 4 support.

inb4 Kingdom Hearts 3 for NX.

Unless it's the 3DS version that runs on NX, then... Unity support?


Edit: Amusing: #DQXI is now trending worldwide on Twitter.

 

[Celine]

I really like the idea to have a SNES version of DQXI :-D
I just hope SE will release the 3DS version in Europe.

Dragon Quest XII confirmed Wonderswan + PS5 exclusive

I wish.

 

[jj984jj]

nobody knows. We don't even know what NX is at this point. If it's some sort of handheld successor, or hybrid, I could see an upscaled 3DS port being released for it. If it's a dedicated, powerful console than you probably get the UE4 version.

If it's a handheld it would be weird for them to port the 3DS version unless Nintendo finally decides that they're going to make a handheld that has no backwards compatibility.

This thread is NOT NX speculation thread #25390325. Please ensure that it remains that way.

Oops, sorry.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

still salty they did not show any battles on PS4. Game comes out next year.

 

[Ceravic]

Holy shit at the NX announcement. Now what if they announce that FFXV is coming to NX at GamesCom.

 

[Galava]

I still believe Nintendo announced they were working on NX because of Iwata's condition. If Iwata was healthy, they'd wait until E3 to say anything. But they wanted to say that NX was Iwata's last project before he passed away. And now that it's revealed, Nintendo starts promoting future games without even showing the console.That's my theory.

 

[Dark_castle]

Apparently you can also choose between DQ7R style 3D combat and DQ6 SNES style 2D combat, too.

Not only the combat. I believe you could choose to play the entire game either via DQIX style 3D or DQVI style 2D by choosing which to use on the upper screen. Bottom one reflects the other style and the menu screen.

 

[Theorymon]

UE4 is getting optimized for phones right?

Makes me wonder if what we're getting on the NX is the a downport of the PS4 version for a handheld NX. Handhelds are more popular in Japan so it'd be a good fit, while the PS4 version would possibly fit western tastes more.

Either way, both the 3DS and PS4 versions looked like REALLY cool games. Man, I need to start playing this series, Ive only played Dragon Warrior on the NES >_>

 

[AGITΩ]

Wow, Square Enix reveals games for NX before Nintendo even reveals anything about the console(s). Now I'm really curious to know what else Nintendo's been cooking up.

We'll finally Understand.

Spoiler

Thank You, Iwata

 

[maniac-kun]

Will get the PS4 version.

 

[Rad-]

I'm just wondering how the hell are they aiming the PS4 version for next year. It looked very early, like few months in development. Not showing combat and empty towns etc. It was basically more like a tech demo showing.

Where as the 3DS version looked almost ready. I really hope they aren't delaying the 3DS version because of the other versions.

 

[Oregano]

Depending on what they release in the west I might actually buy more than one version! Wow.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Nah it just seems that they are going with the standard 3DS as they did not mention the New 3DS.

Will most def be picking up both the PS4 and 3DS versions. Was actually more impressed by the 3DS one just due to how original the idea was with the 2 screens.

Cheers.

 

[crinale]

SE suddenly doing everything right..

 

[Claude Augario]

If NX is a software hybrid then I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see both versions of XI hit it. Maybe even do a double pack or something.

Are the 3DS and PS4 versions even launching together? 3DS version looked like an actual working game.

 

[Qurupeke]

HOLY SHIT. NX.

Also, yay 3DS. The one version I cared the most. And nice to see a PS4 version too. This couldn't be better.

 

[tbd]

NX? Really?
How could Square announce and show something for the console before nintendo? XD



They have similar setting, but graphically DQXI is not even close to that imo.

There really is no need for that "imo".

 

[Celine]

Can a mod put SNES in the title as a half joke ;-)

 

[Mr. RPG]

SE suddenly doing everything right..

Where's Dragon Quest VII?

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Would love if off screen play for PS4 was in the 2D style, that would be great.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Square wants DQXI on everything.

Except Xbox, duh.

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Where is the NX placeholder-symbol

 

[Highwind]

Today was great for Dragon Quest fans.

I am liking the way the PS4 version looks. I'll be sure to get that version.

The 3DS version turned out much better than I expected and seems much further along. Hopefully that gets localised as well.

 

[duckroll]

So what role does Level 5 play in all this? If any?

None whatsoever.

 

[Bossun]

Why are people so afraid of no localization? Outside of the 7 on DS all mainline games starting from the 4th had a US and EU localization...

They even localized some spin off of DQ.

Overall I'm thinking we have a good chance of it coming overseas on PS4 and 3ds.

 

[watershed]

Can someone confirm that they said you can choose which graphics style to have on the top screen of the 3ds version? I really like the idea of playing the entire game retro style if I want or doing a second playthrough that way.

 

[disco]

The NX announcement gives me a '2010, Dragon Quest X coming to Wii U!' kind of vibe. I.e. really early support before the console has even been properly been shown that might just end up being a bit rubbish...

 

[Gambit]

so instead of console wars, Horri gave us happyness and togetherness. A true Dragon Warrior!

 

[Slixshot]

:'D Finally a Playstation Dragon Quest! Haven't played one since Dragon Warrior 7!!

 

[Shouta]

That happens when you reuse assets (3DS) vs making all new ones. They probably have the assets built for the PS4 version but haven't constructed the game and all the triggers yet.

 

[Joqu]

Did they say if the 3DS version supports 3D?

 

[SgtCobra]

None whatsoever.

Good. Here's hoping they'll reveal their PS4 game at TGS.

 

[KiTA]

Not only the combat. I believe you could choose to play the entire game either via DQIX style 3D or DQVI style 2D by choosing which to use on the upper screen. Bottom one reflects the other style and the menu screen.

Apparently if you go 2D mode, you get random battles like the classic games unlike the heresy that is visible monsters on the field.

Anyone have any idea how to navigate the cesspool that is 2ch? I'm interested in seeing how the Japanese fanbase are reacting.

 

[Alrus]

So what role does Level 5 play in all this? If any?

Zero, the reason they showed in the credits for the announcement trailer was because they showed previous games they worked on.

7 was never released in the EU.
