People still read in Japan. Frankly I think voice acting takes away from the game.
Can't wait to get the 3DS version. Too. As there is no Switch 3DS double pack, would have bought that.

But guv I really like voice acting especially in VIII's. That and orchestra version really made the game special for me.

Love how you can beat monsters and "use them" (ride their shells) to access various elements in the level.
I though you can't jump in the 3ds version? Hoe would they incorporate platforming?

There might be different gameplay elements for that version, don't know.

You can jump in the 3DS version. It was shown in the gameplay video. No idea if it's functional like how it was with the monster in the PS4 trailer though.

That's not going to go over well in the West, at least for PS4 version.

Warp Strike horse to the left.
Presumably we'll get VO in the international version. Does anyone know if Heroes had Japanese VO? Or was that an international only VO track again?
Then again, DQVIII was fully voiced on 3DS in Japan :/ Man, so confusing...
I doubt it. English DQ localisations usually take at least a year so I'm not getting my hopes up for a 2017 release, especially if they're going to do VO.

Hmm... good point. For VIII only Western release has VA (talking PS2 here).
Half a DOOM. Not bad.

Finally got to watch the trailers since I couldn't watch the live stream. Both versions look so great. Absoutely going to get that double pack. Can't wait to play both versions. That classic 2d mode on the 3ds one looks so cool, and the PS4 version is what I've been waiting for since DQVIII on ps2. It's going to be a fun summer vacation this year in Japan!
HDR should be mandatory it looks too good for it not to.

The same reason they showed off a 3DS version off that had developer stuff showing at the top of the screen?

Wow. That's sooner than I expected.
That double pack looks ace. I might be unreasonable.

I do pray they have Voices in the West. It's a huge part why VIII was so great.

I recently (finally) started DQ7 on 3DS because it was simply time for more DQ. I love the series. So fabulous. I might buy a PS4 just for this game. We'll see.
Tifa got her hair done.

Wow. I wonder what's taking the space, lots of cutscenes or just assets? Especially considering that there's no VA in this.
I feel like the game will be pretty big with that files size, like 100+ hours.

Watching all the footage from the stream again and happy to see some new NPC designs. I had worried that they'd just recycle the ones from VIII.
Very happy with what I'm seeing of the game, particularly the 3DS version which is just a charming looking thing. Also excited about the new ways to explore in the PS4 version, feels like a natural extension of what was promised in DQVIII, also flying the dragon will be awesome. Just excited; there's something magical about a brand new mainline DQ game for me. My only gripe so far is none of the music has grabbed me yet.

Director said at the end of the show that it is 50 hours long for the main story and 100 hours for everything.

You're in for a treat! There are very few legendary long running series that are as consistently good as Dragon Quest.

Sorry, I nearly crossed my eyes rolling them so hard reading that. You can feel good about your amazing reading skills in most games that let you mute voice overs.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
They should offer voice acting DLC. You could think of it as the book on tape version.
Reading is something that is taken with great pride in Japan and dialog heavy RPGs are a part of that reading culture. You shouldn't expect voice acting in Dragon Quest.
Well...
Talk about nostalgia
I used to stare at that lone copy in Woolworth for months
Hoped no one would buy it before I saved enough money

God damn that's early. Wonder how long it'll take for a western release. I swear I'll spend the whole year playing video games at this rate.
Any info in 4k or HDR?

Whew
Even the 3DS 3D and Classis versions aren't going to be 100% the same, so I expect the PS4 version to have a lot of differences too.
