Really depends on how early it is. I wonder when it'll hit in NA/EU if it comes out at all.
I would've preferred Builders, though.

Good point, where was Builders? Was it a victim of platform lock-in by engine - it's built on Sony's phyreengine and Sony would have provided support.
But there have been phyreengine games that have made it to other formats. Wonder if Builders 2 will be Unreal 4 instead.

I'm kinda jealous of the exclusive content. Really wish PS4 got Ragnar.
But I'll be sticking with the PS4 version myself. Wasn't planning on buying a switch early on and the performance hits on this version aren't doing much to change my mind.

You missed a chance to repost the best one, this doozy that someone at Sony thought up.
Yep and Sony have patents in the PS2, and PS3 eras for always online. Fact of the matter is, patents dont dictate what's going to happen. These companies have tons of people sitting around thinking up things and patenting them

I played it to completion all last week. This is not the case at all. Performance has been rock solid in my experience.
I have had the airship causing the console to sound like a jet turbine issue, but I haven't noticed any significant drops in performance within the game.

Pretty sure the framerate problems come from the recording and not from the game itself.
I wouldn't rule it out of course that the game itself might have framerate problems, but since this was recorded off of a direct feed video the problem might lie in the recording process.
Fake EDIT: And as I've seen the complete footage (skip to 22:25) I am proven right. The framerate seems to be capped at 30fps (for multiplayer at least, they don't seem to play single player) and it has some mild dips when there are fullscreen effects but it's nowhere near as bad as that video I quoted.

The official trailer in the OP, posted to Squarenix's own channel, would be direct feed capture right? That'd probably be the best judge of framerate I'd imagine.
Didn't know this had exclusive content. It'd be a shame if it didn't make it to the west given the Vita version didn't. Local co-op/being able to play on the bus/train/toilet are features I care about!

I really just started the PS4 version of the first one. Thought hey I'll just sell it and wait for switch. Then I saw that I could maybe get ten bucks for it if I'm lucky. So tired of buying games and them quickly ending up worthless.
They had Darkdrium/Nokturnus from DQ6 and Zoma from DQ3 in DQH, and I believe they were originally Japanese DLC. Otherwise, the game had no other end-boss fanservice.
Thread made me realize that we're looking at at least three years where people will be over-analyzing twice as much due to lack of info. "Is that docked or undocked?", "How does it perform undocked?", "Is performance improved when docked?", "God I hope that's the undocked version running.".
A Mosou game at 30fps in coop?
Wouldn't be that bad at all.
Btw, waiting for EU confirmation about release date/price and framerate test (I'm ok with that middleground graphic so far), before proceeding buying it, or starting with the 1st episode on PS4 (it's around 20€ right now)
They probably knew well before they finished Heroes 1 that they were gonna be making another one.
Same thing kind of already happens with PS4. Is it Pro or regular? Of course it's usually Pro footage these days even though 95% of PS4 owners have a regular PS4.

The first game is more musou compared to the second game. The second game is supposedly far closer to a more traditional action RPG with lighter musou elements compared to the first game.
Oh nice, would tell what was I or II in the trailer lol

Btw, here's some of the Switch gameplay during that Japanese stream: https://youtu.be/h0-6o6yXXWw?t=1349
More details came out about this version recently. Figured it would be good to add them to this thread. Originally reported by Nintendo Everything but GoNintendo compiled the info into a list.

Can imagine improvements from the second game being added to the first game could be a big deal. Really enjoying hearing more and more games have the HD Rumble support as well. Can only hope that Fire Emblem Warriors has that as well.

Did they ever add co op multiplayer to either of these games?
First gameplay footage starts at minute 33 into the video. Still watching but looks pretty nice so far. Note noticing any frame rate issues. I still hold what we saw before wasn't docked footage or at least an old build, maybe even both. At 1 hour and 09 minutes they're in the portal room, from the original images that were posted in this thread.
Yes, DQ Heroes 2 is multiplayer. Local on Vita and Switch, Online on all platforms(Cross play for Playstation).

Is this I or II from that point?
Game seems to run better than the last video I saw...but that video had a giant boss and lots of shit happening so I can't really compare.
They have the same fight in this video. It's towards the end where they take on the boss. Heh, much better play all around, I think. I think the game looks great, in any case. I hope the demo come out here.

シドー was really zipping around without noticeable slowdown, so it definitely seems to have been optimized to a degree. Will DEFINITELY try the demo out and if it goes well plan on buying. Glad I held off on a PC version purchase.

Seems to run a lot better than previous showings.

Does anyone know if there is an English language option for the game? I'd love to play it day 1, if possible.
Forgot that we can log into the Japanese eShop. I'll be downloading it on day one if it's available.

Local meaning you need two switches, right? Not split screen?
Right. There's no split-screen multiplayer at all in these games.
Seems pretty good honesty
Boh visually and frame rate wise especially considering the video was coop
Very interested especially because I still have to play the first and the second isn't out bye to
If they will confirm it for EU at a decent price the portability + homey and the double package sound interesting

I'd assume that the solo release of DQH2 will enjoy a few months by itself, and then they'll put this out. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo steps in to publish it themselves to keep their relationship with Squenix strong, despite not needing to do any actual work.
If this can serve as a reference, while not a completely 1:1 due to different scenes

I've also been trying to find the best match possible for the scenes shown in the livestream, but no luck so far
