Day 1 for ps4 it feels like forever since I have played a console dragon quest. I really love the art style, hopefully it won't take too long to localize it.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Yeah he went with Trunks this time.

It only took eleven fucking games.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I missed it in the other stuff, but is DQXI supposed to be more akin to old DQ games, with a hero and actual pre-written party members, or will it be more like 3/9 where you're just making your other characters to join you?

 

[Aaronrules380]

It really came out of nowhere, after everything had been done/said about it. I know it's coming to PS4/3DS, but them mentioning it coming to NX was probably the most noteworthy thing about it (the next being 3 different styles IMO) because DQXI is now attached to this mysterious thing no one outside of the development community has a clue about.

It's not a thing you see happen too often, especially for a Nintendo system.

Yeah, I agree completely. Even if they were planning it, you'd normally expect them to keep quiet until more was made public. It also makes it easier to stop that version if they really wanted to cancel it for whatever reason. So the fact that they mentioned it at all is really, really strange

[Lulubop]

DQ back on playstation like the good old days. life is good.

I'm dead

Then again those are probably the two best.

 

[Kanann]

nothing about story and party members yet make me sad ; . ;
I like cute female characters, give me 3-4 please

That looks good, interested in this.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Is Level 5 doing the PS4 version?

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

DQXI seems to cover them all.. the powerful system, least powerful system and one that doesn't exist yet. Nice job, SE! Still confused about it lol!

 

[Stone Ocean]

PS4 version is developed with the assistance of Orca.

[Katana_Strikes]

Any video of PS4 footage? Where's the gifs coming come?

Maybe she's just really flat.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I like the new Heros color scheme. Darker overall look.

 

[FunkyDealer]

NX ey? That's an interesting announcement. Can't wait to see how it compares to the PS4 version. I'm guessing it won't be another completely different SKU-thingy.

 

[PsionBolt]

The 3DS version is looking crazy awesome, wow.

I can't shake the feeling that I've seen the fantastically outstanding 3D screen + 2D screen feature somewhere before, but I can't put my finger on exactly where... Anyone else feeling that way?
The Nameless Game, Beyond the Labyrinth, and Guadia Quest all came to mind, but none of those are really the same thing. I may just be misremembering, and this has never been done before... But I still can't shake the feeling.

 

[Regulus Tera]

DQ7 Hero cries in a corner

Goku with a hat is still Goku.

 

[Tenzan]

Why isn't this on vita? -_-

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

Ps4 version lokks amazing! Can't wait to see more!

 

[jackdoe]

It almost feels like the 3DS version is subsidizing the development costs for the PS4 version. I definitely wouldn't have imagined SE skipping over the PS3 version if it didn't exist. Now,the scale of the PS4 version could be potentially larger thanks to the 3DS version of the game.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Oh I must've missed that reading the OP. THANKS.

 

[Kikujiro]

Why are people questioning a western release of the PS4 version? Of course it's coming, can you name me a JRPG for the PS4 that's not coming in the west?
All the big-hitters from S-E are already coming, they even announced a new Nier at E3 and Project Setsuna (both unannounced JRPGs) and we know how great the PS4 sales are in the west. Just give them the chance to announce it properly sometime in the future (probably not before next year).

 

[andymcc]

If this is NX, I suppose it'll release at or around system launch of the game releases when it's supposed to barring no delays. If that's the case, I could imagine there being a pretty big demand for a timely localization so it could meet system launch in all regions...

 

[FStubbs]

It'll probably be PS4 exclusive outside of Japan. Hope it makes it over. At this point it seems likely, it's the 3DS in the West that it seems SE doesn't like since DQ content on every other platform is making it over.

I'll get the PS4 version and, if it should come over, a handheld version. (3DS unless the NX is a handheld.)

It's funny that this is the first announced NX game.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

nvm

I am still waiting for Dragon's Dogma Online

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Toriyama didn't draw Goku again for the main character?

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

Seriously, it's bumming me out.

Wait till your Tension maxes out, he will turn super saiyan. I get a Trunks vibe from the main character.

 

[demosthenes]

So glad this is for PS4.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Who would have thought that Unreal Engine would revive SE's console development side. I thought PS4/PS3 would be the announced platforms, but this covers all the bases and all of the relevant demographics in Japan and abroad.

The only thing the announcement says about the NX is that a) it can run a decent version of UE4 and b) it will have some way to play traditional games no matter how outlandish it is.

Edit: In retrospect, this makes all of the "Horii would never allow his baby to be multiplatform" talk from years past seem silly. There are market realities that make an exclusive for any current platform a terrible choice.

Male

To be honest, he isn't the most masculine of guys in the world, so depending on how you want to project yourself into the character you could pretend he's female.

Looks almost like a painting in motion. Very nice.

 

[ArtHands]

Why isn't this on vita? -_-

dude. vita. 2016.

come on man, you know why.

 

[Neoxon]

Toriyama didn't draw Goku again for the main character?

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

He drew Trunks.

 

[bigjig]

In for the PS4 version, DQ8 is one of my favorite JRPGs

 

[Stone Ocean]

To be honest, he isn't the most masculine of guys in the world, so depending on how you want to project yourself into the character you could pretend he's female.

He doesn't look as androgynous in-game

 

[Sinople]

Both versions managed to impress me in their own ways, good job SE. Now that it's pretty much a given I'll end up buying both, the question is which one to play first...

I like the hero's design a lot too, my second favorite after Five.

 

[butman]

After this PS4 is becoming better than PS3 and carefully silent becoming the next PS2.

What a library!

 

[maxcriden]

Why not? It launches next year and if they manage to make it a launch title for the new Nintendo system, that's HUGE news for both Square and Nintendo.

Does it? I thought it's only been confirmed that we'd hear more about it in 2016, not that it would launch next year.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

I am still waiting for Dragon's Dogma Online

well that's not even out in japan yet, so...

 

[Tenzan]

dude. vita. 2016.

come on man, you know why.

Im just saying. It wouldn't be hard you know.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

I still wish DQ8 was getting the HD remaster treatment, I guess the 3DS version will do. It can't be any worse than the phone version... right?

 

[Kama_1082]

Why isn't this on vita? -_-

Can't revive something that's already dead

 

[RPGCrazied]

To be honest, he isn't the most masculine of guys in the world, so depending on how you want to project yourself into the character you could pretend he's female.

I wonder if he will be another mute character like in 8.

 

[Forkball]

You can play DQ IV-XI on a Japanese 3DS. BEST SYSTEM.

God I love Unreal Engine 4.

[krossj]

3DS version looks great. Really like the 3d or 2d option just hope it is not distracting either way.

 

[Philippo]

Wait the PS4 one is coming in 2016 too?

Then KHIII has to be 2017, no way SE releases these and FFXV in the same year.

 

[Bots are better than you]

Im just saying. It wouldn't be hard you know.

I think it would be hard. Builders and Heroes are on other engines, the Heroes engine was already working on Vita, dunno what engine Builders has.

DQXI PS4 is not possible, because Vita has no official support for UE4, and i doubt the engine for the 3DS title is currently running on Vita.

Basically, Vita gets some leftovers for Heroes and Builders.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Any video of PS4 footage? Where's the gifs coming come?

Theres a huge like 13 minute segment on the PS4 version lol

They start in town, go out into the overworld, go across some bridges, see some enemies ( no combat ) and so on
Truly looks like a successor to DQVIII. My dream come true. AMAZING
