In terms of visual style, it reminds me of a bit of Skyward Sword.

X is a MMO, a huge undertaking to release in a not so big franchise over here.
I don't think anything about that has been mentioned yet unfortunately, but since DQH2 is being localized there is still hope.

I hated trying to get on my Chocobo by hitting X only to be standing slightly off and having Noctis jump instead. And this happened all the fucking time! When trying to pick items from the floor or opening chest too!

Speaking of that, what's the PS4/NSW release date for that? lol that was announced years ago for the PS4 and no release date was ever given.

There is no doubt in my mind the PS4 version will get a western release. The 3DS version on the other hand I'd be very worried we'll never get. Not unlike what happened with Ni No Kuni on PS3 and DS where we only got the former.
That sounds like a problem with having X being confirm instead of cancel. Which is the rightful control scheme for all good people. Jump on X is natural. O should be accept. X should be cancel. No conflicts.
DQ games mostly sell like shit in the west. A monthly subscription MMO prooobably didn't seem like the likeliest recipe for success considering DQ's (lack of) popularity outside Japan and subscription based MMOs not being all that successful outside of WOW, EVE and FFXIV.

Ah, so many spoilers in that cutscene!

I can't blame them. It's a good base to work with, lol.
I really like how deliberate and how smooth the animations are. It's sooooo much better than something like FF15.

Why does this game look so stiff and lifeless? It's not even as charming as Blue Dragon and that's like ten years old.
The thing that bothers me the most with japanese RPG games in general is the constant lack of attention to the little details that make all the difference. Like, that character turning some invisible book pages is just shitty.
Or although an amazing game overall, Persona 5's walking animation. Or for how, in the same game, every. single. thing. you perform there's a fade-in/fade-out transition to avoid any additional animation.
To a degree, BotW is an exception to this norm, and I hope that it becomes a trend.
Another reason why I want the Switch version to be the ds versions. Not buying another ds for this.
Also wasn't the NNK version because it kinda sold badly in Japan and tried for the console crowd overseas?

Cost saving animations. Ask EA
Also DQ is all about the details. All the small animations on pickups, all the monsters and your party.

Why not? People love Dragonball Z over here. I got someone to notice Chrono Trigger because of the art style.

Ya'll crazy, game is gorgeous
Technically it looks good, the art direction is just blah. And it looks drab :/
You can't even be serious with this comment right?

I really can't decide which one I want to pre-order. I hope they show a good amount of the 3DS version.

Risking getting piled on.... OPINION: DQ has been one gen behind the times since the SNES days. They're great games still in spite of this fact though.
This game looks and plays like straight out of the PS2 generation with prettier graphics and HD resolution but DQ fans wouldnt have it any other way.
True. I hadn't even thought about the lack of Level-5. Still gonna remain hopeful that this is just a boring demo. It's usually pretty hard to showcase small bits of games like this.
