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

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

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 laughter. I think it's amazingly silly and a great idea!

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.
 
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.
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.
 
It's awesome!
Everyone is happy :)
Dunno, does Bish enjoy ban-athons? If that is the case, he sure has to be disappointed today. ^^

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.
 
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.

Actually I forgot about the remake. He said something about a HD DQ indeed.

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.

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.
 
I do hope in the 2D version the enemy attacks will be animated (or at least there is an option to do it).

What was the reaction to the conference in Japan?

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.)
 
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.
 
I'll take it. I'm a bit tired of gigantic open environments that take a long time to traverse.

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.

Well...if you want to split hairs, DQXI is technically being remade twice over in HD and 3D from the 2D version, lol

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?

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

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.
 
Gematsu says that the NX version of DQXI is just "under consideration", not in development
http://gematsu.com/2015/07/dragon-quest-xi-announced-ps4-3ds

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.
 
Nintendo let them tease it. It wouldn't have been mentioned otherwise short of Horri just not concerned with keeping it quiet and frankly you can see why Nintendo would let them tease it even while NX is a complete mystery. DQ XI on NX is suddenly a huge topic
 
Hardware is not finalised is all I take this to mean.

DQX for NX seems to be confirmed though.
 
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).
 
If it was "just under consideration" they probably would've said "we're considering Xbox One" as well since that would've been an equally empty thing to say. It's obviously coming at some point to NX.

Saito was the one who announced the NX versions, not Horii.
 
New good, non moe loli crap JRPG's for home consoles are allways welcome.

Looks pretty awesome so far

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!
 
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.
