Dragon Quest 11 Announced! [PS4/3DS (simultaneous), NX (tentative)]

No, it's turn based

The 3DS version is classic turn-based DQ. We don't know about the PS4 version since they didn't enter a battle during the demo.

If you want real time then you may want to look into Dragon Quest Heroes.

3DS version is turn based. We haven't seen the console version's combat yet, but it will probably also be turn based given how traditional DQ tends to be.
Alrigth then.

Thanks for the answers, such an amazing looking game.

That's probably never going to happen. The ip owner doesn't even make games anymore, they make like slot machines from last I read. I guess someone could buy the ip, but don't see that happening either.

But Verendus said so. Is he a legit higher up at Sony or isn't he? I'm confused! Why does the IP owner matter? VERENDUS SAID SO!!!!!!!!!
 
Well if that's your reasoning then why believe anything you read?

"I don't care what they say, I see Dragon Quest XI being Xbox One exclusive."

It's just the next phase of people not believing anything people associated with this game say.

<Horii> DQ11 won't be a smartphone game <Everyone> lol cant wait for the smartphone announcement
<Miyake> DQ should be multiplatform going forward <Everyone> 3DS EXCLUSIVE. wait, smartphones lol!
<Horii> I know people want a new game like DQ8 <Everyone> they will never make a game like DQ8 ever again. smartphones!!!!
<Horii> I want to play the next game on a big screen <Everyone> lol cant wait for the 3DS and/or smartphone version
<Horii> DQ11 is designed for consoles, to be played with a controller <Everyone> SMARTPHONES!!!!!!!!

Every thread for the last two years.

It's not going to happen. Verendus is frequently full of crap but people conveniently let that stuff pass.
 
Maybe its powerful enough to run 1080p / 900p multiplatform games in 720p.

It also depends on what it actually is.

If it's a console/handheld hybrid (which would be the smartest option for Nintendo) then you can lower your expectations for power by a lot.

lol. people are definitely pessimists these days
 
Why wouldn't the 3DS version be further along? Have you seen both games?

It's even reusing existing assets.

Either way, they could easily hold it back for a simultaneous release.
Bolded has nothing to do with anything. I obviously saw both versions since I made the statement in my first post that the 3DS version looks farther along. Using the same assets doesn't mean too much when one is HD and the other isn't, no to mentioned with two supporting devs involved with both each separate version.

Anyways, to your last point. Yes, I agree with you here, they could hold the 3DS version back but I'm not convinced they will - despite what they're saying right now.

Well now we have to suffer through localisation concern trolling or whatever you want to call it until they confirm it's being localised.

I mean, I can understand people feeling burnt after DQ7 but at the very least the PS4 version is obviously coming to the west yet we're going to hear the same thing until confirmation.

Out of curiosity, how does the phrasing compare to Japanese translations of the Proust novel? Not that there would be any further connection between the two, but I wonder if that's where they got the subtitle.

It's different. The Proust novel is called &#22833;&#12431;&#12428;&#12383;&#26178;&#12434;&#27714;&#12417;&#12390; and this is called &#36942;&#12366;&#21435;&#12426;&#12375;&#26178;&#12434;&#27714;&#12417;&#12390;

&#22833;&#12431;&#12428;&#12383; is specifically "lost," whereas &#36942;&#12366;&#21435;&#12426;&#12375; is "passed" as in "time passed."
 
They are doing all the right moves. PS4 and 3DS gives it the best chance for this DQ to be successful worldwide, as occidental and Japanese taste in consoles/handheld differ. They even went the extra mile and provided a sprite-based version on the bottom screen of the 3DS! I'm very impressed.

Just you wait. Platform wars will come back closer to release. This thread has been too tame and some people are already getting ready to declare superiority of their version.

It's not going to happen. Verendus is frequently full of crap but people conveniently let that stuff pass.

Verendus clearly knows things and has connections. But he's not foolproof and business matters can change easily when things are far away, especially with his outlandish claims. People just tend to believe him out of a desire for it to be true. Hopes and dreams

Thanks.
 
Sorry if the question was already asked but I was wondering if it will be possible to turn off the bottom screen on the 3DS version (or just be able to use it for a map or an inventory).

Well, good to know that this is the one thing it won't be, as it has been flat out denied by Iwata, and there is a thread (since today it even should be on the first page) that has you covered about why it is not a hybrid, why a hybrid wouldn't make sense at all and more on many pages. :)

Who's with me, localization announcements for the latest remakes and DQXI at GamesCom? :D
 
Would be a slight paradox when they state that they are officially developing on something for something that officially does not even exist.

I guess SQEX has all available information and details on whatever NX is and will be, announcing something for a platform they have zero knowlegde about would be a bigger bogus than announcing FFXV(ersus) together with FFXIII ...
Not unheared of with SQEX, but they seem to have been working to get their sh*t fixed. :]

Games for it are in development already, but things do change as you can imagine
 
Because Sony and MS put out so many more first party games.

I love how you took this as a personal attack on Nintendo, when even Miyamoto said that the hurdles of HD development took Nintendo by surprise, hence why first party releases have been drip fed in the way that they have.

My point is simply that if Nintendo struggled to develop HD games on 7th gen level hardware, why are people expecting them to jump up several magnitudes a mere 3-4 years later. Nice attempt at snark, though.

We don't know much yet , will be nice if i can switch between the bottom sceen or 3D/ 2D etc too

It's funny because another English translation of the title is Remembrance of Things Past, which is much closer to the Japanese language used here.
 
It's not going to happen. Verendus is frequently full of crap but people conveniently let that stuff pass.

The problem with Verendus is that he's a massive troll half the time, and sometimes it's hard to tell whether or not he's serious about half the things he said.

And you're right in that regard, but it's also true that he's been right more than enough times that he has some legitimacy to the stuff he post.

Doesn't mean it's to be believed, but it doesn't change the times he's been right.

It's just getting annoying seeing people parade his word around as gospel and absolute ironclad proof of this or that.
 
So adding the up on the list Square-Enix has the following titles coming go PS4:

Star Ocean 5
Dragon Quest XI
Final Fantasy XV
Dragon Quest X
Final Fantasy Dissidia
Dragon Quest Heroes
Dragon Quest Builders
World of Final Fantasy
Kingdom Hearts 3
Nier 2
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Dragon Quest Heroes 2
Final Fantasy 7 (PC Port)
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Project Setsuna
Hitman
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Final Fantasy XIV Updates (An unidentified amount of content will continue to make it's way to the game).

I got to say I'm very impressed with the output they have coming to the PS4 so far.

And some said Wada was not the problem.
