will this have the same battle system as viii and random encounters?
if so, pass
if only one of them: maybe
Pardon my ignorance. Wasn't dragon quest X a MMO game? Is this Dragon Quest a return to the single player format? I've only ever played Dragon Quest XIII on PS2 and have fond memories of that game. Love the art direction of XI as well.
That would be neat.Expecting an announcement for the West at PSX.
No console bundle? Weird.
Have they shown off any actual battle gameplay yet from the PS4 version?
I expect that it's turn based but is it the same old Dragon Quest? Any interesting additions?
They showed it last night. Seems there are two modes. You can either play it like DQX, or you can play it like traditional DQ
I've been trying to find this out: are the 2 versions of the game the same other than presentation? Do they have the same story, locations, etc?
I originally thought this was going to be like Ni No Kuni, which was two very different games on DS and PS3. Now based on the trailer I am starting to think these 2 are basically the same.
Only the 2D mode on 3DS has random encounters. Enemies are visible on both PS4 and 3DS 3D mode.
Dragon Quest was one of the first RPG series to introduce AI. In the original version of DQ4, you couldn't control anyone manually but the hero in chapter 5. It's not a new thing for the series at all.
However, there's no disadvantage to manual control here. Not sure where that's coming from.
Despite my personal love for DQ4, it had some flaws. This was one of them, sometimes.
Nothing like bringing Cristo to a boss fight (Esturk comes to mind) and watching him cast Beat (whack) over and over again.
If you can free move, do you need to? Can you get out of spell range or something by doing it? Etc. I.e. are you losing out tactics-wise by going for party control.
I frankly love the oldschool turn-based style and get very nervous when I see DQ tinkering with it. So many RPGs have moved to weaksauce action-RPG systems, that not much remains for more traditional RPG fans. I expect Squenix to screw it up eventually.

Those beautiful sultry eyes.
Unless Sony has a marketing deal, I doubt it.Expecting an announcement for the West at PSX.
Cristo (nee Kiryl)'s Coup de Gras in DQ: Heroes was a lampshade of this AI bug.
It's improved a lot since then, although I generally don't like using AI myself. But it tends to be a good option for healers because the healing AI tends to be psychic in your favor--i.e. say Hero gets knocked down to low HP at the start of the round, then when the healer's turn comes up it will heal that damage done at the start of the round.

You can't order without some sort of help from someone in Japan, unfortunately.
I see thanks, might be better to give up then :-x saving my wallet a little bit.
They would make their own announcement.
Is this fact or speculation?Release in the West in Q1 2018, voice acting added, PS4/Switch (simultaneous launch in Japan), if NS ver. is not ready by then switch it with 3DS.
Tale out of my ass.
Seriously tho this looks like the Dragon Quest I've always wanted. They've finally started putting QoL stuff into DQ games, it's an offline console game, it has CGI cinematics, there's movement in battle... I seriously can't wait for this. I'm sure they'll add voice acting to the localized versions, and I hope it'll take less than 8 months to localize
The synth music is a giant bummer but I'm so tired of being BH about it. I don't know why they don't just hire someone else because it sounds like ass and it's 2017 but whatever
Is this fact or speculation?
Will they rename this DQ10 in the West?
Didnt they dropped numbers in West ? At least in Europe.

Only in europe. US is still numbered
No they just didn't release anything until VIII.
It's probably the Mystic Quest debacle you're thinking about.
Listening to the music during the stream took away a lot of my enjoyment. Man, it just didn't fit one bit.
The more vibrant the game gets, the more jarring it feels. You can still retain the DQ sound with Sugiyama's style of composition. You can't mistake it. There's gonna be no interactive music either because he's so fixated on keeping it traditional.
I don't get it. If the PS4 version doesn't look classic/traditional, why should the music?
EDIT: We have two versions too that look completely different. Why not give the PS4 version the orchestrated sound then?
they didn't rename VIII after skipping V and VI so I doubt it
In three words: because Koichi Sugiyama
Nah, in Europe, which got VIII first, they gave up numbers for VIII on PS2 and IV, V on NDS. But after that, they brought numbers back for VI, IX, VII and VIII on 3DS.
Battle system, one battle

It seems youonly control one character in a turn based combat system, other members are controlled by AI.
Is this expected to come to the US? or is that iffy?
