I need to play Dragon Quest IIIr on Super Famicom again.

 

[Magicpaint]

I love everything about 2D mode expect for the lack of animated monster sprites in battle. Ah well.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

Yeah not feeling the 3ds one... Nostalgia doesn't do it for me since I've never really been a fan of the series

 

[Prophane33]

Man, the 3DS version is the one to get. I love the options you have when playing it.

Yeah, this stream completely convinced me to pre-order the 3DS version over the PS4 one.

 

[sfried]

Switch version will be PS4 version when docked, 3DS version when undocked.

Why have I never thought of this idea?

Or maybe, why not make the 3DS version but run in Unreal Engine on Switch? (Sure, everything will be semi-superdeformed, but at least you'll be able to switch to the retro mode on the fly.)

Did you play any of the IOS/Android/DS ports?

 

[Kashiwaba]

The classic mode they're showing right now for the 3DS is what I need in my life.

2D mode looks really nice.

The 3D mode looks a little more fleshed out than DQVII 3DS was, but I'll probably stick with the 2D mode.

People like you actually exist!!!! I was wondering why bother making 2D version lol.

 

[theofficefan99]

You can control your party members manually, they're just using AI for the demo. Manual input was an option for everyone.

Oh. In that case the game looks phenomenal.

 

[Strings]

LOL, just casually jumping on 3ds.

I'm so tired of Sugiyama reusing music. We haven't had a DQ game with a fully original musical identity since 8. And even that game reused the bar theme for no real reason.

 

[Kanann]

Cute mode.

Too busy lobbying to make new music maybe? /s

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I think I've had enough. Going sleepy-bye.

Garbage human is 86 this year.

 

[nelsonroyale]

The PS4 version very much looks like DQVIII in the current gen to me. Pretty happy with it. Considering DQ have rarely.

3DS version looks...about what I would expect. Pretty good for the system.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

Did you play any of the IOS/Android/DS ports?

No, not interested really.
Ive played 8 on ps2, 9 and 7 on 3ds.
Thats all.
Liked 8, 9 was okay 7 was a pain to play.
I may have played some really early dq on gameboy as a kid but i dont remember which one.
Either way im not a fan of 2d or 1st person combat unless its brilliantly animated.

Yeah, and even some of the original composition isn't as good as what used to be. IX's soundtrack was so forgettable outside of a few gems.

I get the same feeling every time a game uses the DQ main theme. I swear it's the been the same rendition used for like every game made in the last 8 years

 

[Smiles and Cries]

they are probably covering their asses for sales

3DS might still outsell the PS4 version

 

[foxuzamaki]

I think they showed more of the 3ds version surprisingly

This area gonna be gorgeous on PS4.

 

[Kanann]

Yabai! Yabai! Yabai! Yabai!

Don't do that don't go there spoiler! spoiler! spoiler!

 

[cw_sasuke]

3DS version looks great tbh. Hope we get this one for the western release as well.

 

[Aeana]

The DQ overture is the DQ overture. It's the theme of the series. It's the one theme that should be in every game.
But with that said, DQ9/10 had a new introductory part, and DQ11 has a new one on top of that.

 

[Ray Down]

3DS version will always outsell the PS4 version in any case.

 

[sfried]

There was some mention of StreetPass features.

 

[ReyVGM]

Maybe Switch DQ11 will be shown on tomorrow's Direct?

 

[jj984jj]

Yeah I totally disagree about the 2D looking like RPGMaker. Though I do wish the enemies were animated in battle as well.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

Not surprising, they will get more sales on the 3DS version in Japan. It looks really good, hoping for some localization news from Nintendo this E3. And from Square for the PS4 version, I would buy both

I'm so tired of Sugiyama reusing music. We haven't had a DQ game with a fully original musical identity since 8. And even that game reused the bar theme for no real reason.

THE FACTS

1. There is no music reuse, every track is rearranged painstakingly.

2. Every new soundtrack is original and filled with new tunes.

3. The Nanking Massacre did not happen.

4. Sugiyama-san is an upstanding person.

In Niconico stream the word "Switch" seems to be a bannable word now..

 

[Megalosaro]

Best castle theme
Best regular battle theme
Good world map theme

I think they do that with every new trilogy? I know DQ1-3 has a different one than DQ 4-6.

 

[Ray Down]

Maybe Switch DQ11 will be shown on tomorrow's Direct?

Why would you think this when they already confirmed that stream content.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Maybe Switch DQ11 will be shown on tomorrow's Direct?

no hope at all for that just like MonHun I expect it much later if there is ever a port

 

[Strings]

Maybe Switch DQ11 will be shown on tomorrow's Direct?

Man, I would not get my hopes up.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

Why would you think this when they already confirmed that stream content.

Extreme wishful thinking

 

[ReyVGM]

Why would you think this when they already confirmed that stream content.

No, they said the Direct would be focused on Arms and Splatoon, but that doesn't mean it will be the only thing shown.

 

[Strings]

These cutscenes are ludicrously well animated.

But with that said, DQ9/10 had a new introductory part, and DQ11 has a new one on top of that.

I know but recently when heroes and builders both open to the same exact composition, I think some how my brain broke away from enjoying it as much.i was really happy to hear the new version for this game.

No, not interested really.
Ive played 8 on ps2, 9 and 7 on 3ds.
Thats all.
Liked 8, 9 was okay 7 was a pain to play.
I may have played some really early dq on gameboy as a kid but i dont remember which one.

You know, I can totally understand that. I think DQ is the only classic series I can tolerate the lack of animations.

 

[Faustek]

Say what you want but in my mind that's Tornekos uncle.

 

[cw_sasuke]

3DS version holds up so well...lol. Great looking game on both systems - Kudos to SE to making it work.

 

[SporeCrawler]

3ds version will probably sell 2-3 millions while ps4 will be sub 1 million. there has been no million seller on ps4 so far. not even FF XV has achieved that..

THE FACTS

1. There is no music reuse, every track is rearranged painstakingly.

2. Every new soundtrack is original and filled with new tunes.

3. The Nanking Massacre did not happen.

4. Sugiyama-san is an upstanding person.

say what? is this breitbart?

 

[theofficefan99]

Thoughts: 2D version looks cute, but not a fan of the static battles. I would get bored instantly.

3D version looks cute too, but really, it just looks like a downgraded version of the PS4 version.

PS4 version looks pretty amazing.

I do worry that the game is going to be a tad barebones, though. I mean it's releasing much quicker than expected and they haven't shown much. After FFXV I get worried when that's the case.


Edit: oh looks like a new trailer.

 

[Slime]

Ahhhh, that trailer!

I want to play this 3 times in a row already.

;_;

 

[Debirudog]

Mmmm, the game's presentation makes he turnbase combat fun to watch.

 

[Irishonion]

Please have a hefty post game. Love that stuff in these games.

 

[zeromcd73]

End time

 

[Stairouais]

That trailer ..

Is this a III remake?
