I thought NX was never confirmed offcially,no?
No, it's done mainly internally, but there are a ton of different external studios who have helped, including Orca and TOSE.

So Toy Logic seemingly worked on the Wii version of DQX and Orca helped out on DQX is some fashion. So each being on DQXI makes perfect sense. Anyone want to clarify both companies definite role in DQX please if possible?
Why was he obviously trolling? He was very clearly being sincere. I don't understand why you would think otherwise.
Regarding DQXI's release date, producer Yosuke Saito said that they're aiming to release it within DQ's 30th anniversary year, meaning anytime from May 27, 2016 to May 26, 2017.

Both versions look great, going for the PS4 version.
They should allow indies and 3rd parties to license it.

Or he was just being honest but like with everything a company says, people assumed it meant the opposite because reasons.

Oh, you're right, I'm derailing the thread... sorry! *editing my post*
Ah, my mistake. TOSE ninjas at it too?
So besides X, the rest were done largely externally, right?
Did they say what version? As 3DS looked more like an alpha game there while PS4 version looked more like a tech demo of using UE4.
Yes. 1-5 were developed by Chunsoft, 6-7 were by Heartbeat/Arte Piazza, 8-9 by Level-5.
Why would they do that if the engine is too hard to use/poorly documented? (which I assume it is since only XV is using it)
No, they didn't.
Well, jokingly I mean, not really negative; like he wanted to do it but wasn't sure if it was going to happen. I'm just looking at the PS4 version and it looks kinda early compared to the 3DS version.

Probably both if they're treating "DQXI" as one entity.
And haven't people covered that the 3DS version looked like it reused assets so of course it was going to look a bit more complete than the PS4 version. D:

Just woke up and dig up some stories. Apparently Orca was known to work on DQ (now we know it's DQXI) in May. According to this article it seems like DQXI was still in the very early development
If this is true, it's kinda surprising that the game will come out in 2016.

Too bad DQ XI wasn't done by Genius Sonority. Wifi migrant town! Denpa men already was the closest ripoff to DQ VIII's battle results!
Ni No Kuni NDS and PS3 release dates were close to a year apart.
Oh, and NDS version was never released in North America. I hope DQ doesn't follow same treatment.

The 3DS version is one of the silliest uses of the Dual Screens I have ever seen.
The retro 2D screen stuff is totally going to end up on smartphones
Silliest? It looks amazing.
With the PS4 version, it had no NPC's and no combat shown off. It was just the Hero running around a town and then the field. With the 3DS version, you had a town with NPC's, a field, a small story/cutscene thing and the battle system. Not to mention the 2D bottom screen. It just felt more complete.
My first reaction was laughter. I think it's amazingly silly and a great idea!

Having never been a fan of the 3D look for most 3DS titles due to how weak the handheld is, the 2D mode is amazing. That's the one I'll be using the entire time.

There are smartphone games that already look better than the top screen version of the game... Including Dragon Quest games!

Like I said in my previous post, they will probably port the 3DS version (I don't think phones will have problems handling the graphics when they release it) to mobile, then years later, the PS4 version (or a downgraded version) to mobile when phones can handle it.

BTW, Verendus was right, 5 DQ for PS: Heroes, Heroes 2, Builders, X and XI.
He said all of them would get localized, so I guess even the MMO is coming over.

So the first officially announced NX game is one of the biggest third party franchises. Interesting.
The game looks rough. Unreal4 version looks like a tech demo. 3DS version looks more fleshed and the two perspectives are great. But May 2016 seems a bit early for a release.

I'm still in awe myself. After watching it again I was even more impressed! I'm seriously considering importing it unless they announce it is coming over before then.
I love it personally. It's such an awesome contrast, and the bottom shouldn't be very hardware intensive anyway.
The old school RPG look of it has me hooked, and somehow more interesting than the PS4 version.
He said one of them would be a remake.
I don't know why people always just gleefully ignore every time he's wrong about stuff.
Still waiting on Shadow Hearts, Verendus.

Max is the most interesting news....I half expect we'll be seeing that Square Enix smash rep any day now.

Oh phew. DQX was the one I was worried about for localization because I don't know if Verendus knew about it or not.
Great news though. I'll be buying all 5 games.
It does look amazing, I'm just not sure it's going to play amazing. I don't know what the point it yet.
They've never confirmed what it is, but Nintendo has been using NX to refer to an upcoming platform for a while.
Its an awesome way of doing things and a great idea for 30th Anniversary. New and Old blended into one.

Oh man I didn't expect it to be announced in two versions for PS4 and 3DS. But I have to say that both versions look great. Sure, PS4 version looks early, but those visuals are lovely.
And I think the Dual Screen 2D/3D gimmick of the 3DS version is really neat. And visually, the 3D graphics in the 3DS version also looked nice for a 3DS game. I actually really want both versions, Square Enix got me there lol
Also, that NX announcment caught me completely off guard. I was legit shook when I heard them say "NX" and said "WHAT?!?" out loud, haha. Beating Nintendo to the punch at announcing games for their own new system, didn't expect that, heh.

Now I'm praying to the stars that both versions get localized
