I got all excited thinking those were Chrono Trigger-style combo techs toward the end, but it looks more like a scene. :-(

Chinese (maybe both simplified and traditional) and Korean version of DQ11 confirmed by SIEH and SIEK. It seems that asia version is Playstation exclusive right now.

Guess I will get the Asia PS4 version if they don't announce the Localisation of the 3 DS version soon.
I think the disadvantage is because the AI will use information available to them at time of action. But player can only set action at start of turn.
For example if my hero gets hit for 40 dmg this turn, the AI healer may choose to heal hero even if hero was at full hp at start of turn.
I've used this throughout the DS/3DS games, it's really useful for the healer to immediately react based on the situation as they act rather than attempt to predict what the enemy will do and tell the healer manually to heal the right person at their turn to act. Both the AI and manual control have different advantages and disadvantages to me- generally by the final boss I've moved to full manual control due to more item use, multiheal spells etc.

New PS4 Slime controller akin to the old PS2 one was announced. Glad this one is making a comeback:

I actually still have the PS2 one, but it was put away in my attic and got some sort of sap on it. :<
Tempted to import this out of principle even though, yeah, it looks uncomfortable as shit, lol
Good LORD that music is awful as MIDI.
That's nothing new though.
The PS2 one absolutely was, but hell, it is so damn cool.
If you're being very optimistic, sure.
Late is more like it. At the earliest

20:10 that's turn based gameplay?

When the orchestrated OST goes on sale later, it makes it more enticing.

Because Sugiyama gonna Sugiyama.
Having said that though, I think synthesised music can still be done very well. The problem is the sample quality here is quite low. Like, worse than the new synthesised stuff for the western versions of DQVII and VIII 3DS or some of the mobile games.
I think all it means is SE is taking release games dates near each other more seriously than ever now.
DQ is a huge game to localize and it's never had a huge following in the west. I think they will try harder than ever to get it out soon as they can now though due to Matsuda comments.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I think that we'll get localization news at E3, if the game is being planned for a western release at all.

It has to be. It wouldn't make sense to localize spin-offs but not a mainline game.

Square Enix are probably going to have a decent E3 presence again this year. Pretty sure a localization stands a good chance of being announced then...
Sure but what does he have on these people that he exerts that kind of power? He's an employee and this is a Japanese company.
Soundtracks sell just fine for other games without the dev putting a shittier version in the game itself.

He's not an employee of Square Enix. In fact, Koichi Sugiyama Yuji Horii and Akira Toriyama are all freelancers who have their own personal companies and who each own parts of the rights to the Dragon Quest franchise. Square Enix doesn't own the music of Dragon Quest.
OK well that makes more sense, but still, it's not as if they haven't used his orchestrations in-game before. It's clearly not something that's impossible for them to negotiate with him. And a poor MIDI soundtrack is something that harms the atmosphere of the game they're trying to sell.
While I believe DQXI will be brought over... Koei is probably the one who localized Heroes and DQ builders probably is no where near as huge as the mainline games.

Yeah, the amount of ownership the Big Three (Hori, Toriyama and Sugiyama) have over their series is pretty unique.
I guess it's to he expected when both Toriyama and Sugiyama were celebrites before their involvement.

I don't know why anyone would think this wasn't gonna be an option.

So wait, am I hearing that this doesn't have voice-acting? That's pretty... odd. Hoping they do what they did with VIII apparently and give it VA when it comes over.
What's even weirder is this might not have an orchestral soundtrack either? And just like with the VA when VIII was brought over, it got an orchestral soundtrack added as well??
How likely is it that this will get the same treatment when it comes out in the west? Considering the appeal of the Dragon Quest soundtracks (I've listened to a few, though I've never played anything but a couple hours in Builders), resorting to MIDI on PS4 seems ludicrous so hopefully they do the same thing as they did back with VIII. It would be really jarring for a high budget game like this to have no VA either (P5 and other games not having complete VA is fine, but next to nothing or none at all is kind of crazy).

Speaking of SFC DQ6, animations, 2D/16-bit graphics and the end of a trilogy, these were the magazine previews I remember seeing in EGM2, Electronic Gaming Monthly and GamePro, respectively.
Just in case no one has said it, I think it's really awesome how you post all these old EGM/American game magazine scans.
Brings back a lot of good memories, EGM was my main gaming source pre internet age. I'm looking forward to the 3DS DQ11 more. DQ just works on portable.
Ffxv had some shook?

Thanks -- I was a fan of Sendai magazines and all the magazines they published out of Lombard, Illinois.
I wish I could see if the original Diehard GameFan had any coverage of Dragon Quest VI but so many issues have not been scanned, and much of what has that is floating around on flickr and elsewhere, is of really low quality
Nintendo Power though, had some great coverage, more than I would've expected for a game that never got localized for SNES.

Was expecting it, but glad it is confirmed. If movement offers advantages, then moving everyone around would offer a bigger strategical aspect than the auto-camera mode as well.

These gif bring back sad memories for me. I still have the EGB magazine that was showing Dragon Quest V for SNES coming soon in 1993 I believe and it never came :'(. It had a full page dedicated to it and I was over the moon seeing Dragon Quest in 24bit graphics back in the day

Any updates on when this will release in western world?
Nada. I guess we will have to hope for something at Gamescom.
