Definitely picking this up but I'm worried it won't compare to Hyrule Warriors. That game is bursting with content and has kept me happy for a veeeeeery long time. I'm hoping Heroes has that sort of lasting appeal.

Going into a game like that will just lead to disappointment
Early in the game you get an airship that acts as the main hub. In the main hub there is a tavern that you can go to and switch out your characters.
Some story missions require you put specific people in your party.
This game has a lot of content plus the game ships with all the DLC that was added over the past few months to the JP version. The game is also a fun platinum which will add plenty of you decide to go for it.
Thanks for the clarification! I think it's cool that you get to pick
Wow, I normally hate dubs but this one sounds pretty great. I'm impressed! It's not terribly surprising, considering how nice DQ VIII's was as well, but still.
I almost pre-ordered the CE many months back, but considering it's nearly triple the cost of what I'm getting the standard edition for [E3 promo deal for 30% off], I decided to pass. I hope the DQ III DLC from the SE store makes its way to the PS Store eventually, I'd like to have it.

Good to know, thanks! I actually had forgotten this includes all the DLC.
I read this game is close to Trinity: Souls of Zill'O'll in terms of gameplay but it has a lot of tower defense stuff that might turn some off. Do you go to different areas and do things there or is just straight select area kill 1000 enemies rinse repeat? I'm buying it either way

Is it 60fps?

Part of me wants to get it JUST to get those collectibles and support the series (don't even have a PS4)
But part of me wants to wait until the sequel with multiplayer and more characters is out and/or some vague hope that a Wii U/NX port might be possible.
What do?

All Musou games are heavy on content.
The combat had some depth to it and it also has some button mashing. You have 4 players in your party and you can switch between them on the fly.
Each has a meter that goes up as you fight letting you perform a special which does large damage. It works well and brings a bit more strategy with it and when the fighting gets tough knowing how to balance the use of your characters is needed.
The gameplay also has a tower defense aspect to it as your able to collect monster coins after defeating enemies and Once you clear out and area or if you're tasked with defending an area you can summon monster allies and place them wherever you want and they will fight in those areas.
This plays a huge part in the strategy because you'll be able to teleport all over the map to defend and take over certain points so using them effectively helps you when you can't be everywhere at once.
There is also variations in tower defence missions such as portals that constantly spawn enemies until defeated and the only way to prevent them from getting is by closing and opening gates forcing choke points it's all pretty interesting and fun.
The game has rpg elements like leveling and alchemy to craft new items for you to use. It has a nice blanance and at first it's a bit madhu but as it goes on simply charging your way in will get you killed.

This game is pushing me to finally start playing the Dragon Quest games.
You bet it is and we are talking steady 60 fps, no dips .
Worthwhile content would be my concern.
I loved Hyrule Warriors, but completing those map stages, loading for over a minute to run a mission that takes 20 seconds got old.

Aurora, Jessica, Maya and Yangus. We ready Guv'?

Omg I can't wait. Games like SW4 and One Piece 3 all have slowdowns and dip.
Wish this would come to pc.
I mean I own a PS4, but the horrible controller quality makes me wary of buying many games for it.
Squeenix is a bit weird when it comes to which games they bother to release on pc.
Tecmo Koei at least seems to spit out their musou games on steam quite a lot.

maybe it will in 2016
i think it will
I'm a huge DQ fan. Been for most my life.
Curious -- Did this review well in Japan?
Weird reason to not buy PS4 games. I have three DS4s and only the launch one is a bit worn in, but it's still quite usable. The two I got later are perfect.

I don't know about Hyrule Warriors. But I haven't had to deal with over a minute loading time in any of the Musou games on the PS4.
Some of my main complaints with HW were performance/jankiness related. If DQH on PS4 is 60 fps then I'm in for a treat, because DQ is one of my favorite franchises of all time, and DQ8 in particular one of my favorite games of all time.
Amen Bru Amen. Day uno for me too.
who needs persona 5... right? right? Ok I'm cheating myself
Just take a look around here on neogaf and you'll see there is a real problem with the quality of the controllers, both the sticks and the R triggers have a widespread problem. I've lost count of how many threads there are about it by now.
My R2 trigger is showing noticeable wear after only a little use and no I'm not just rough on my controller. I've still got my launch sixaxis working pretty much just as new after almost 9 years.
Anyways, not wanting to start a derail here, I just hope DQ Heroes will find it's way to PC too.
Ah that's pretty disappointing.

wow, didn't realize the RPG and strategy was so heavy, definitely just a Musou in combat alone. Was going to wait, but think I'll day one this! Kinda in love right now with the art direction and the swapping party members.

tbh, he sounds very early in, the game is definitely going to basically a tutorial the first couple hours. I wouldn't take impressions seriously until near game completion.

You're in for a treat then. It's 60 FPS and barely has any performance issues base on Japanese import reviews.

The long ass wait is almost over. Will have this and Disgaea 5 in house at the same time. Going to be a great month
I can't wait for this game. I love Dragon Quest series and I am excited it's back on console.

I love the voice acting in this game. It's so cheesy it's amazing. Some voice work at 6.20 in the video.
It you like the Japanese one more you can change it as any time.

I dont think so, unless they make a ps3 version after this one is out to bring over there, otherwise its ps4 only with english text

I wish they would make a PS3 version for the west, anyways... another reason to buy a PS4.

Think of it this way, a ps4 so you'll be able to play Dragon quest 11 when its out (unless you like the 3ds version's aesthetic which is fine as well)I wish they would make a PS3 version for the west, anyways... another reason to buy a PS4.
Thanks
The trophies have a nice balance. There are a few grindy ones but once you get to the point of finding King Metal Slimes it's not so bad.
There is other stuff like defeating all the hard mode bosses which is a lot of fun (the secret one is a tough fight),some for defeating all the monster types and getting their coins, side missions, crafting items and a few others.
You'll unlock most as you playthrough the game keeping a good pace and keeping anything tedious to only a small grind.
I could honestly go on about this game for ages lol easily my game of the year.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Such a great game, really hope it does well in the West. Shit looks fantastic too on the PS4.
Thank you! A lot of people in this thread (and in general) don't actually understand what constitutes a musou game.

Not all. Most, yes. They've been better in recent years, but the first Fist of the North Star game and the first One Piece game were way more repetitive and light on content and were a lot better about it in the sequels.
I'm still in the place where it's worth investigating each game on a case-by-case basis.
