They surely will show gameplay on the 11th, right?

New Dragon Quest XI screenshots + battle system info

- Start date
To be fair nothing confirmed and its more of an assumption.

I don't think they've said a single word about a US/EU release, so sadly I expect the case to be exactly that, at least an additional year for localization.

This reminded me that I still haven't even opened my copy of Dragon Quest 7 I got for Christmas, and I've only played Pokemon Moon for a few hours...
Oh, and I'm close to the end if Xenoblade Chronicles.
Goddamn, why am I drowning in so many RPGs?! Stupid Zelda and Mass Effect sacking up all my gaming time. D:

Love that the party run along the fields and towns in the 3DS version. And the battle set up for the 3DS version is just perfect. It looks like it'll be just as fast as DQVIIr.
PS4 version details are a bit sketchy but I assume that free movement will work like it does in DQX? Otherwise what's the point? I remember in DQIX the characters would randomly move around the field in battles but it didn't mean anything mechanically. Auto sounds like DQVIII style battles which pleases me as long as it's fast like 3DS version and not slow like PS2.
Yep. Do you want modern DQ? PS4. Do you want something that's in between modern and classic? 3DS 3D mode. Want pure classic? 3DS 2D mode.

And Heroes and Heroes 2, despite the former selling really poorly.

Same. I'm not feeling the PS4 version at all.
My guess is the Switch version will be a watered-down port of the PS4 game, which makes me even less interested.
I love that i will buy it 3 times.

I hope they release gameplay video soon. It's hard to tell how the battle system truly works with mere screenshots and descriptions.

Good lord I have been waiting for a proper Dragon Quest on consoles. Can't wait!
Who knows maybe even 20times. They may make CEs, and LEs, and standard versions, and you buy those and just open the standard to play.
I hope it is, I'd play the console version on the PS4 over the switch anyway and I really dont want to have to play another game in 3DS resolution

Definitely grabbing both Japanese versions, will likely get the PS4 one on day one and wait for the price to come down a bit on the 3DS one. I hope the release date is this year, though we likely won't have to wait too much longer to find out.

In for the PS4 version. I'm hoping the battle system feels fully fleshed out and not half baked since they're essentially making two completely different games.
Understandable. One would be an upgrade and provide cleaner visuals where as the other would be a downgrade.
Heck, the initial gimmick of the 3DS version is the two art styles, so it would be apt for the Switch version to also have the version where you switch between them.

*DS games. PS1 games were missing idle animations. But yeah I agree, the static battles are a little too old school for me. Though I didn't mind it much in the mobile version of DQII so probably won't here.

I think the Switch version is really a long way off TBH. It's quite telling that they never mention it when showing new screens from the PS4 and 3DS versions. It just seems like they aren't far along at all on the Switch version.
If they were planning to release the Switch version alongside the other two, they would have shown a screen or at least mentioned which it is based off of. And if the Switch version is coming later than PS4/3DS versions, a localization of it, if it comes, will be even farther off.

Both games look excellent. I prefer having the 2D option for the 3DS version so that is what I would like to buy. I'm worried they won't bother bringing a 3DS game over so late in its life though. So I guess I'm hoping the Switch version is based on the 3DS game (and gets a western release).
I will say that if the PS4 game is the only one that gets a western translation and isn't released on PC later, then I will finally have my reason to buy a PS4.

Man, the CG makes my problems with the PS4 art style even worse. As cheap as it likely was in comparison, it really does feel like that DBXV2 is going to be the best game in terms of capturing Toriyama's aesthetic.

Jaw, meet floor.
I absolutely fell in love with Dragon Quest Heroes, so I can't wait to play a proper Dragon's Quest game (I don't own a 3DS).
Love her design. Insta permanent party member with Protag-kun, blue hair boy and blonde girl (not the loli).

Man so excited, hopefully West announced soon.
The ps4 version looks cleaner and cleaner with each new updates.

Until Ganbarion makes a Switch DBZ game.
I wonder if Nintendo grabbed them for another original project. They largely work on Nintendo-exclusive anime games, but they seem pretty tight.
Same. Rather get a beefed up 3DS version than a watered down PS4 version. I think S-E will solve that dilemma for western fans by simply not releasing that version here though.

I wish we could use the 2D mode in ps4
It looks fantastic

Just a gut feeling that switch will get a dual-pack. So both.
