What are you talking about Ps4 selling best worldwide doesn´t mean anything DQ sells best in Japan. Yuji Horii most likely thought he could get away with just releasing it on ps4 but as time went he saw he can´t because no matter what some people here think Ps4 is not gonna save japans console industry.

Definitely makes sense for the rest of the non Japanese readers.

I did my part .... but damn it's annoying to play the 3DS remake of 7 with a translation on my tablet right next to it ... like ... really.
Hoping for a GamesCom announcement for the localizations of the 3DS remakes, and both versions of DQXI

Final Fantasy XV
Dragon Quest X

Dragon Quest Heroes
Dragon Quest Builders
World of Final Fantasy
Kingdom Hearts 3
Nier 2
All from direct from SE or through some sort of collaboration. Missing anything? Hell of a lineup.

All hail UE 4. Almost every jRPG of theirs is now on this engine. Don't know about Nier 2.

The DS version was just standard turn-based while the PS3 version was real-time.

Obviously this is what I expected to happen after I heard that rumor. But still I think that the rest of the world will only get the (obviously superior) PS4 version only.

Icing on the cake at this point would be XII HD.
Oh, thank you. I've never been able to play the DS one (despite having bought it for the book).
I wonder if here we will have the same BS or if there will be a different approach (not that different as in Ni No Kuni)
I'd choose not to play them then. In case of a text heavy jrpg even more. What's the point in spending 100 hours with a game and still missing half of it? It's not like there aren't dozens of other games every year.

And KH HD Port on at least PS4
I read about the announcement like a few minutes after I woke up and thought it was pretty cool, but looking at what Square Enix does here I realize how fascinating this all this.
Not only did they announce a PS4 version, but also showed competent in-game footage showing the game at an early stage but still enough to give you a glimpse of the huge jump in terms of visuals between DQ11 and DQ10. This is another Square Enix JRPG really happening and this seems to be possible thanks to new management and better production pipelines. Unreal Engine 4 is a fucking blessing.
Then there is this crazy 3DS version; the idea of being able to play the same game in two different versions - one with sprites like the old DQ games and one with 3D models like the new modern DQ games - is fucking nuts; catering to both old and new fans with one single product gets harder and harder these days, and damn I must admit that this might turn out to be a stroke of genius. While I hope that this might even translate into clever gameplay ideas where you have to switch between both dimensions, it's pretty neat that this exists at all.
And yeah, while they seem to have jumped the gun during the presentation regarding the NX version, I think it's safe to assume that this will probably happen - because why mention it at all if you're just considering it?
Everybody won today, and man: it feels more and more like the Square Enix of the old days is back in full force. Exciting times.

As great as the PS4 version will be I have to give Enix props for putting in double duty for the 3DS 3D/2D version
I wonder if they had that Kojima budget when making this game.

Yeah forgot about FFVII PS4 and FFVII-R, and of course the titles like Tomb Raider and such.
They are off to a hell of a start this gen. Already enjoyed FFXIV and Type-0 this gen. Along with FFX PS4 Remake with the original soundtrack. Man that is a glorious playthrough.

I know it's a moot discussion but it's not really your call to make for other players. If you're fine with buying a duplicate console from another version and playing in a language you don't understand because you think it's better than nothing, all the more power to you.
But there's nothing unreasonable in saying "I'll get it when it comes here so I really wish it came here".
Particularly when you consider that over the past decade/last two gens, the number of Japanese games we've been getting has dramatically increased. A JRPG not coming West is now more the exception than the rule.
At the very least, they've been pressing all the right buttons and sending all the right signals all year long. It's impressive how they generally pivoted out of that slump within six months.
Now all they have to do is deliver on all these promises.
Do we know who the publisher will be yet? If it's Nintendo, a localisation is all but assured

Doesn't SE have a new CEO? Maybe thats why they are turning things around this generation.

How so? You mean story Wise?
I saw a much bigger looking world on PS4 version during that conference. If anything 3DS version will be very classic Dragon Quest in setup, but looking at how lush and open environments are, i say PS4 version will be lead version, with 3DS being fan service.

Even Sony has given up on their own platform.
This is even more conformation for me that it's going the way of the Dodo as it pertains to getting AAA games like this. It's the perfect system for it.

All square gotta do now is push out some new ips and they're golden again.

What choice did they have? They almost shit themselves into oblivion last gen with sub-standard games and terrible mismanagement. Increasing the quality of their games was the first major step to rectifying their terribleness.

PS4 version is probably holding back the NX version.
Hilarious.

I can understand some Japanese and I certainly have imported games before like Yakuza series, but trying to get through a text heavy long RPG is a slog that I would rather not go through. At least in Yakuza games your fists do the talking
. Oh, and you have to buy another console because of region lock. Meh...
Forgot to add that PS4 version is pretty much assured to show up in the West and everything else is YMMV. If say 3DS VIII gets released here it would be a better chance. Still 3DS game releasing in the West toward end of 2016 or early 2017 would be taking a big chance. We'll see what happens with NX.

I would actually buy one of the DQ amiibo's despite not owning anything that would use it ( yet )
People in this thread have already conveyed worries that the 3DS version would affect the PS4 version.
I assume graphically, but there could also be worries about the story or release date being an issue because of 3DS limitations vs PS4.

No, it's turn based
