erm, which trailer? Didn't see anything like it in the trailers I watched.
Also, any hope of the game releasing in English this year? No, huh?

Don't have access to wi-fi at work for playing during my lunch and breaks, nor wi-fi in my car, so remote play is a no-go for my situation.
Though I guess people hack their 3DSes to be region-free now, so idk.

Seeing the two versions side by side in the trailer feels like an advertisement for PS4. Which looks really great.

Yeah, the animations are really nice. Senya's introduction where she's surprised by Veronica was the one that really stood out to me in the PS4 trailer, lol.
Also, it looks like they might have different mini-games? Or they just split them between the two trailers to show unique footage to each but the Horse racing was only in the PS4 reel and the weird dungeon one was only in the 3DS reel.
We get the 3DS version if Nintendo decides to eat the costs of bringing it over.

Yeah weird... I heard multiple devs that porting to Switch was super easy. And Square-Enix announced it even when Switch was called NX.

Oh shit, you're right. I thought it looked a little funny! =o
I'm in for the PS4 version.
The 3DS version hits the nostalgia buttons hard, and those fight backgrounds in 2d mode look gorgeous--but the 3DS is an ergonomic nightmare and it's difficult enough to slog through DQ8 on it.
Aeana, the music sounded new to me--what's it recycled from? I'm guessing DQX since that's the only mainline game I haven't played? It is disappointing, though--DQ8 seems to be the musical high-water mark of the series at this point.

I may be crazy, but actually hoped it would be released in japan in late this year to allow as much time for Polish. But if it's done it's done.
I only ask that it's a full DQ game which means lots and lots of hours to complete.

I don't think the Japanese version will have Polish. Sorry. We'll have to see if it even comes out in Europe...
Since they just recently launched DQ10 in Chinese, it makes sense that they'd also release DQ11 in Chinese to capitalize on the mindshare.

Might be doing english VOs.

Any chance they bring the 2d versions over the ps4 as a dlc. In the off chance an english 3ds version isn't made(pls ninty), I'd love to have all three versions of the game on a single hardware.
Do you know what regions they launched in? Is it just China (PC), or did it launch in Taiwan and HK too? If DQX is running in Taiwan, than they're almost certainly planning a Chinese translation for that market.
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.

Nice, I'm interested in the two versions I've actually seen footage of. While I'm mostly excited about the PS4 version, the novelty provided by the 3DS version may also be something I want to try.
The music that has been in the trailers so far has been relentlessly mediocre. But I'm also in the camp that Sugiyama has been in a downward spiral since DQ9.

dqb and dqh2 chinese version are about 2 months after JP version.
would expect it will be earlier than english version this time, just like the other 2 PS4 DQ titles.

Both versions look great. Will get whatever version comes to the West. If both are coming over, I think I'll go for the PS4 version. Maybe.

Hey guys, I have a question.
I want to preorder the game from Japan, it will be my first japanese game I import because
I learn japanese and the easy language used in the game will help me train myself, especially on kanji.
Now i went to play-asia to preorder the game and I saw that the game costs 75 euros!
Wow, it surprised me, why is it so much expensive compared to Europe and the US?
Is there another website i can preorder with better prices?Because if it's that expensive I may as well take the special edition
.Keep in mind also that I want the retail version, no digital

I'd take portability over graphics for this series any day.
Hopefully Switch version happens, but if it doesn't I'll grab the 3DS one when it's out in the USA.

Your journey begins
This looks like a significant graphical upgrade since reveal.
Both versions of this game look amazing. I'm always down for more DQ. I hope we get localization and Switch news at E3. Even though the 3ds graphics and style look awesome, I don't think I can go back to my 3ds now that I do all my portable gaming on the Switch. I would actually love it if the 3ds version was released on the Switch as a simple HD up-port at some point. I might prefer playing that than the PS4 version.

it's 8980 yen... 75euros = official price.
Japanese game price are always higher at release and then you may wait for discounts.
Check Amiami: http://www.amiami.com/ (not on board yet)
And Amazon JP: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B06Y63281P/
Both have global shipping like playasia. You may pick up the one with a bit lower price.
In the 3DS gameplay footage, the ship music is from DQ4 and the church music is from DQ8.
I can't imagine they'd announce a Switch version at E3, given the Japanese popularity of the series... I'd be stunned if there's any word of a Switch port before the game launches in July, as that would just cannibalize sales.
Switch seems like it could easily offer an "ultimate" version with all 3 versions included (with some graphical downgrades vs. the PS4 version) down the line, but I'd be shocked if we see it before the holiday season.
What a hack. When are they getting someone to replace him? Hopefully someone who isn't a shithead this time.

My only possible gripe are the menus, they don't seem like they evolved(although I need to go back and check the tapes to be sure) much I especially worry about alchemy being annoying again. I'll get over it pretty fast once I start playing, still man come on it's 2017 :-x cut down useless navigation steps. It's like having a small splinter stuck in your skin. Not a big deal just slightly annoying.
Is that customized outfit?Your journey begins
Based on the gameplay demo, it seems that equipment is visible on your character.
Just saw this:
I guess it could go either way, given this cagey attitude. Maybe an E3 reveal is in the cards, after all.
Poifect!!!
I hope so, that was about the only thing I liked about IX
That would be amazing I hope so, I thought it was just weapons.

woah July!
Well, we've seen the hero with three different colored outfits so far. Granted, they're all pretty similar to his default design, but if nothing else then the colors must be customizable. They did indeed show the weapon changing on the stream though.
