Wait.
I never thought about that! They could technically port XI to GBA if they wanted to. :lol
I think it's a brilliant idea. Not sure if it'll just be too distracting or not, or whether like Halo Anniversary Edition - you eventually stop bothering looking at it in the old school view, but as of right now it's super cool.
My first reaction was "Oh, those graphics look decent enough".
And then I saw the bottom-screen. I've been drooling ever since.
I really hope both versions will get an international release, I just need both of them. One won't be enough.
How can you tell?! What they showed of the PS4 version could have took way more time to make than what we've seen from the 3DS version. Even if development started at the same time, a PS4 version obviously wont be making progress at the same rate as the 3DS version considering its scale.

NX is the new PS3!
It's silly and awesome at the same time. I was grinning like a little kid.

Dunno, does Bish enjoy ban-athons? If that is the case, he sure has to be disappointed today. ^^It's awesome!
Everyone is happy
But yeah, everyon is happy, and i'll get it on EVERY system ... yeah, i'm such a sucker! I just hope that SQEX localizes both versions ...
They put some huge amount of effort in the 3DS one, with the dual 3D/2D stuff (BRILLIANT btw!), it would be sad to let that "rot" in Japan only .... but oh well, i have a japanese 3DS, and i already played the DQ7 remake with a goddamn translation open on my tablet next to it.

Someone said that Famitsu claims NX is only a "consideration", anyone want to clarify please?

Actually I forgot about the remake. He said something about a HD DQ indeed.
But I wonder how Square would handle a MMO in the West if it really comes over. Hmmm
Perhaps he heard that an "old" DQ game (X) would het a PS4 release and he assumed it was a remake?
I may be wrong though.

Wooo woooo glad it's coming to PS4.
It's the only reason for me to get the 3DS version instead of the PS4 version. (I'll probably get the PS4 version in the end.)
Maybe that "remake" is Dragon Quest Builders? LOL.

Can I just look at the bottom screen when playing 3DS version? Like, ducttape the ugly 3D and just look at the gorgeous retro DQ at the bottom.
Well that's you. Personally, the gigantic open world and taking a long time to traverse it was one of the things that made VIII so epic for me. I'm hoping XI on the PS4 will be an even bigger world than VIII.

apparently yeah... based on the press release

I don't think Verendus knew about X, but rather throught it was possible sometime in the future. X was not included in original 5.

One of the 5 games is a remake of an older entry.

I think i read somewhere in this thread that you can switch the display on the 3DS screens, so, 2D top, 3D bottom ... might be wrong though.

This is all like a dream almost. Everything is so perfect.
I want to buy both versions so localize everything, Square Enix!

Well...if you want to split hairs, DQXI is technically being remade twice over in HD and 3D from the 2D version, lol
Gematsu says that the NX version of DQXI is just "under consideration", not in development

You mean whether or not it's sub-based? I think it'll do the same model it has in Japan and it should be fine with that. Does it still have the free hours per day system?

In for whichever releases in the west first.
If they are day and date the same? Probably ps4

Sounds like some Ninjas were sent their way.
lol Horii got a little excited again. It's the DQVII localization news all over again. I think it'll come to NX though. Multiplat is the future of Japanese console development.
Hardware is not finalised is all I take this to mean.
Could be a couple of things.
1. The NX isn't announced.
2. That's just how they do things. A recent example from another company. MH Cross from Capcom had a spread that basically said, well, we heard that nargacuga, a monster from previous games, is in consideration for Cross.
A gameplay demo shows up last week...and Nargacuga is there.
The stuff they showed in the video looks to be on the same scale as 8, which is fine. I don't want to see something on the scale of Dragon Age 3, though. I have a life to live.
We know that. It's the assumption that Horii wouldn't have mentioned NX at all if they don't plan to release it there. Outright confirming an NX release would be quite weird, considering that Nintendo hasn't even announced the console yet.
I like Anihawk's interpretation of Horii just not giving a shit anymore. That would also explain his DQVII/VIII panel statement in France.

Fascinating, looking forward to more news. The PS4 version is the DQVIII follow up I've been waiting for. The 3DS version is definitely catering to fan nostalgia with that bottom screen. I'm guessing the NX version will be something different as well (considering we don't know much about the NX's capabilities hardware and input wise).
Saito was the one who announced the NX versions, not Horii.

Apparently core development is being headed by Square again? That's interesting.

This is if 3DS version will even come to the west. Localization is going to take at leats to 2017 and 3DS will be pretty dead by then in west. Not to mention as the games are so different (PS4 and 3DS) they have to localize both seperately. Obviously I hope both will make it to the west. I want to buy them both!
The length of the game has nothing to do with how exhausting it is to explore a map in DA3.
Interesting to see if NX version is like 3DS or PS4. I guess we won't know until hw is revealed, but if it is an hybrid console (home/portable) i guess it will only have one screen so it would be PS4 version probably.
Also wonder if PS4 version is released outside of japan, 3DS maybe will too since the plot will be the same so the translation could be used for both games.
