If memory serves, he made a grand statement about how they were shifting back towards "heavy jrpgs" because they realized that the western market consumers enjoy Japanese games and that Square's previous attempts to "westernize" resulted in games unsuitable for any market. They basically figured out that the western market enjoys good games rather than bad ones.
There was a great deal of healthy skepticism, but at least this shows that Square is serious about the effort.
Matsuda kept his word.
If you want real time then you may want to look into Dragon Quest Heroes.
I never paid much attention to who usually had publishing duties in Japan. Has it always been SE in the past?

3DS version is turn based. We haven't seen the console version's combat yet, but it will probably also be turn based given how traditional DQ tends to be.

When has Square ever not self published one of their own games in Japan?

Just like all of the other DQ games that have come out in the west on 3DS.

Can I image NX version will be the best version considering NX is a next-gen hardware?
I will buy PS4 version.
Since there's two different games with different developers and engines, I don't see how this is an issue. I myself was worried to a degree if it was multiplatform, but it's essentially a separate game on each platform.
As for release date being an issue, if anything by doing a simultaneous release the PS4 version is likely holding the 3DS one back since that seems further along.
You can never be sure in Nintendo's case..

I'd swear they mentioned in the stream the combat system will be the same.
No trailers, but you can watch the entire presentation with gameplay footage of the various games in the link below. It's actually in the OP.

my understanding is that they flat out said it was coming to NX and then square enix PR is trying to back peddle on that announcement.

I've been waiting for Dragon Quest's glorious return to consoles for so long and given its on PS4, even if Square Enix don't localize, at least with enough revolting, Sony would go ahead and do it themselves.
Can't wait, this is the Dragon Quest game I've been waiting for since Level 5's masterpiece on the PS2. Been far too long, over 10 years now. Keep killing it on the PS4 Square Enix. Even if Rise of the Tomb Raider were Xbox/PC only, I'd still give you money for doing Dragon Quest proper next generation justice.
Best wishes.

So they aren't really developing the game for NX then.
it will grow on us. Heck, i remember hating the bandana design of the dragon quest 8 hero, but i got used to it eventually.

They are they just can't really say they are because no hasn't been officially revealed yet
Exciting times. Dragon Quest has always been an awesome series, and it seems like we'll have a treasure trove of content to look forward to as the 30th anniversary draws near.
Really proud of Square too. They seem to be cleaning up their development: outsourcing and the realization that not every one of their games needs to run on a proprietary engine.

I really hope so. I need some turn based combat, sick of all the action based stuff we've been getting.
Type-1 is a twinkle in an eye, I wouldn't expect news on that until after this wave of releases.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Wouldn't the NX announcement confirm that the NX is a Console? I mean if it was a Handheld I don't see the point of releasing the game on 3DS and release it again on the next gen "Handheld" by Nintendo.
Type-1 doesn't exist.

I mean, we can't be sure at all, but it's certainly curious that they mentioned it. I don't think it was a random musing from whoever said it.
Does anyone actually want this?

...how do you forget FF7 Remake? The one game that turned people into blubbering wrecks last month?

I would like it. Improve the gameplay a bit and tell a story that's actually worth telling.
Well it should be a port of either the PS4 or 3DS version either way.
NX the handheld might not be backwards compatible
but that would be strange since it would surely be ARM based

Can we add all this info to the OP, It was a pain trawling through this thread looking for info, I wouldn't want others to be subjected to it.
