Oh shiiiiit, could be turn-based battle be seamless?

don't give me crazy hope like this

 

[rbenchley]

Since you can see Drackies in the background in the battle screen, maybe there are no random encounters, but instead the enemies are all already on the map screen? And maybe there are seamless battle transitions like Star Ocean 5 and Tales of Zestiria.

Not sure about seamless battle transitions on the PS4 version, but random encounters seem to have been killed off (Praise Jesus!) GIF of the 3DS version:

PS4

3DS

Those PS4 screens don't even look like anime. They look like if anime were life.

 

[Falchion]

That looks amazing! I've never played Dragon Quest but I would absolutely check this out because it just looks too good.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

It's beautiful , so looking forward to this.

 

[Zyrox]

Both versions look amazing. I need them both here in Europe, ya hear me, SE?
Those 3DS shots look a little too clean though. Probably bullshots. The game looks great anyway though.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Wow, both of those look ace, and the PS4 version looks like a return to form for incredible graphics from Japanese games. Definitely interested in the PS4 version, but might get both!

 

[wrowa]

It gives me blue Dragon vibes and that's a great thing!

Blue Dragon tries to resemble Dragon Quest's look on purpose.

 

[Aeana]

The 3DS shots are bullshots to be sure, but I can already picture it on my actual 3DS screen and it has me salivating.

PS4 version looks ridiculous though. I can't wait for both. Hopefully we get a proper trailer at TGS and then a more in depth look at Jump Festa.



You probably won't need to.

Maybe not. There's a couple of 3DS games that gain AA when 3D isn't in use, perhaps this is the same.

Only in as much as that it's the same artist.

Random battles exist in the 2D version.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Game looks cool. Hope it gets released in the west.

 

[Beats]

The character models look nice on the ps4 version, but the environments don't really mesh well at all with them. I can't say I'm a fan of the overall look.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Maybe not. There's a couple of 3DS games that gain AA when 3D isn't in use, perhaps this is the same.

Even better. DQVII looks really clean on my n3DS screen so you might be onto something.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

In for ps4. I have a 3ds, but the ps4 version looks phenomenal.

 

[Rymuth]

For those who want to play this, remember to buy Dragon Quest Heroes when it comes out.

Instead of hoping, we should make our own luck.

 

[Bots are better than you]

So, good looking 3DS screens = Bullshots, good looking PS4 screens = the real deal?

Come on ... how about trying not to be so biased ... the normal 3DS is able to push out some pretty nice graphics for the old hardware it has ... remember RE: Revelations?

 

[Brazil]

There's something really funky with this and DQ:Builders, the monsters looks like they were superimposed on a background of some other game. Heck, everything looks strangely out of place to me for some reason.

Maybe its the black lines?

DQ Heroes is kinda like that too. It looks good in motion.

 

[Skii]

They both look amazing. Will be shocked if they end up looking like that on release though.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I really hope both get localized. I need all of this

 

[TheRealTalker]

Blue Dragon tries to resemble Dragon Quest's look on purpose.

well both are originally styled by Akira Toriyama (the DB/DBZ guy)

 

[ninjablade]

Ps4 version looks awesome

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Come on Square, no need to hold on that localization announcement of at least the PS4 version.

 

[v1lla21]

I generally hate turn based battles but I like DQ so this is great.

 

[clem84]

The games are further along than the unveiling led us to believe.

Looking great.

 

[PensOwl]

Those 3ds screenshots are looking pretty hot, especially considering how final fantasy explorers looked.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Looks beautiful. I've never played DQ before but I want to play this.

 

[AgeEighty]

For those who want to play this, remember to buy Dragon Quest Heroes when it comes out.

I think DQH will have to bomb pretty hard for DQXI to not make it West. And even then it may not have much impact. Whatever happens to spinoff games here, we do get all the numbered entries (as long as they're not MMOs).

That said, yes, buy DQH!

 

[threelights]

Looks really good. First and third screenshots are my favorites.

I really hope we get more footage around TGS (and a localization after this game releases...)

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Oh my... this looks fabulous!

 

[Fularu]

Call me crazy but I prefer the 3ds screens

I really don't think DQXI benefits from the unreal engine. It's prety but it doesn't fit for me

 

[harSon]

Based UE4.

The improvements from UE3 to UE4 are pretty crazy. It almost seemed impossible to create a game within UE3 without it being 100% obvious that you were using UE3, but the games utilizing UE4 are so damn diverse and distinct - that I have difficulty making those same guesses.

As for Dragon Quest XI... looks so fucking good. The slate of AAA JRPGs coming out is amazing, and I really hope that most of them find success so the phenomenon continues through out the generation.

 

[wapplew]

Seriously, Tales series need to step up their game!

 

[Porcile]

It doesn't look as janky and mismatched as Dragon Quest Heroes, but it does look kinda weird. Nice and vibrant at least.

The 3DS version looks pretty. Don't like the MC's sprite form though.

 

[OnFire331]

Holy shit, those PS4 screenshots look incredible. I'd be satisfied if they went with DQH quality graphics but they seem to have gone way beyond that.

Here are some 3DS screens:

Am I missing something here? It doesn't look particularly great, especially the blurry textures. The stylized characters look great however but certainly nothing to fry the 3DS over.

 

[Off-Kilter]

HOT DAMN

 

[Vyse The Legend]

3DS version looks amazing.

I have no doubt that the West will get the PS4 one, but hopefully, the 3DS comes over too.

Both are Day 1 purchases, if they do.

 

[sublimit]

Man that dungeon PS4 shot. Will be there day one if it gets localized.

There's no way the PS4 version will not get localized.

 

[Yoshichan]

Ok, that is the best looking game so far on the PS4. Wow.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

That console TB goodness.

Too good, too good! My dream game!
Finally some JRPG with great looking environment! No more flat ground texture!

True. Also, itll beat XV to market!

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Oh shiiiiit, could be turn-based battle be seamless?

This game is going to be incredible.

 

[NSESN]

Are there confirmation how 3DS version will work?
Do you have to choice between 2d or 3d after the intro or can you change whenever you want?

 

[SliceSabre]

Man both versions of the game look amazing.

 

[Famassu]

Persona 5
Dark Souls 3
Star Ocean 5
Dragon Quest XI
FFXII Remaster (most likely)

What a time to be alive.

Where was Dark Souls 3 confirmed?

 

[Aeana]

Are there confirmation how 3DS version will work?
Do you have to choice between 2d or 3d after the intro or can you change whenever you want?

It's dual 2D/3D for the prologue and then you have to make a choice, but you can change it any time you want after that point. They just don't display simultaneously after the prologue.

 

[Bots are better than you]

I guess they make you choose one option at the point of no return, but it has been said that you can switch between 3D and 2D whenever you want.

 

[raven777]

Thanks to the mod who added 3DS screenshots in the OP.

 

[Jashobeam]

Blue Dragon tries to resemble Dragon Quest's look on purpose.

well Akira Toriyama is responsible for the art of both games which both look like dragon ball lol

edit: beaten with kamehameha

 

[Kintaro]

OMG that 3DS version is going to sell kamillions.

 

[Ourobolus]

Oh thank god. That was the weirdest design decision I saw, having them both simultaneously showing. Good to know it becomes a toggle.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

They both look great! I want to play both these games
