At least the 9 to 5 grind is real.

I was going to grab this on release on Steam but my vidya card is pretty trashy at this point. It doesn't even meet the minimum requirements. Going to grab one once the RTX benchmarks are out and will probably pick this up then.

But wasn't that Yuji Hori's decision? He is pretty independent, after all. I mean he also decided to push Dragon Quest 7 and 8 onto Playstation platforms. So, I'm not sure how much influence Nintendo actually have. The Wii was extremely popular back in the days, so it kinda made sense to push DQX onto it. However, there are also PC and PS4 versions.

Tried my luck, but no retailer here broke the street date. Damn, have to wait until tomorrow then.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Amazon marked my order as shipped last night and created a tracking number. Obviously it's not moving today since they shipped it USPS. It's two states away so I'm looking at Wed night at the earliest.
Seriously considering just paying full price on PSN and returning my physical copy unopened.

My Amazon copy hasn't shipped and is now marked as arriving by 11pm tomorrow. I will be working tomorrow anyway but things like this have been happening with Amazon orders for me a lot lately: arriving extremely late in the day or at night or even the next day instead of when it's supposed to. They're service is slipping.

Glad to know I'm not the only one this is happening to. I live in the middle of nowhere so sometimes it's expected - I'd have to drive about 100 miles to get to a store that would be carrying it tomorrow so I'm basically at the mercy of places like Amazon, or giving up on buying physical copies for their digital counterparts.

Mine is in my state, but not my city as of today. Still says its being delivered by the USPS by 8pm tomorrow. Not so sure. I hope so.

dont do that, physical copies are superior to digital crap. At least, you can resell that shit. Imagine if DQ11 disappoints, -lol.
If you're from the UK I can give you a website that often brakes the street date I got my copy on Saturday. I always use them. Might not be worth it for DQXI but you could use it for any other games you want in the future.
That's for anyone else as well I can pm you the link.

I had a copy on Amazon pre ordered and scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, but there was an issue with my card and then it was expected next week. Not sure why Amazon in 2018 has a fucking digital line up to process their orders. Guess I'm going digital.

Do we know if there will be a day 1 patch? I only had time to play the tutorial-intro but something about the graphics (on a technical aspect) looks a bit rough. I'm not complaining or anything the game artistically looks absolutely gorgeous i'm only refering to its technical aspects. I'm playing on a normal PS4 though so maybe the game looks better on a PS4 Pro.
Can't wait to play more later tonight!

Well calling it "rough" doesn't really tells me anything. Is it the resolution, textures or frame-rate? I heard on the base PS4 the resolution is 900p so it might be higher on PS4 pro.

Yeah i think it's the resolution and aliasing that bothers me. But it's no big deal really. I can still enjoy the game's looks perfectly fine.

I think I remember from the DF video on the Japanese version that the PS4 ran at 900p and the PS4 ran the game at some weird checkerboard resolution close to 1440p then upscaled to 4K. I believe their conclusion was this made it kinda blurry on the Pro
EDIT: that's the one ^^

At least it has a stable framerate with no pacing issues according to the DF video. I can deal with 900p and 0 AA. Yakuza Kiwami 2 was that and looked fine for the most part.

Per the specs
That's for 1080p at 60fps, so to do 4K at 60fps you would theoretically need to exceed those specs by a factor of 4. Realistically an i9 / GTX 1080 should be able to do 1440p/60fps, but it's difficult to say how optimized the game is for the higher benchmarked cards vs the higher framerate (PS4 is locked at 30) and the higher resolutions.
working with an i7 6800k and 1080ti so 1440/60 shouldn't be a problem
looks like it could go either way like the game is gorgeous (albeit mostly due design) and seems fairly demanding but i could see top rigs blasting way past the Pro's performance but like you said all boils down to optimization

I guess Gamestop and EBgames are very different form each other. The EBgames I shop doesn't really asking me anything, heck! If I want used copy I have to ask for it.

Still debating on Digital or Physical. Digital, I can play for 2 hours tonight and restart if needed tomorrow. Physical, well, I’m old school and like having physical games, especially JRPG’s. That countdown to Midnight is very tempting.

I was initially going to go physical, but after an Amazon screw up I was almost certainly going to go digital simply because of how tempting it was to play tonight. But I have every other Dragon Quest physically, so I've opted back to physical.

My wife went to our local grocery store today (to her surprise, it was actually open) and I told her to ask the clerk if they had any copies of this game since our local shop sometimes gets video games in super low low quantities and told her to act coy about not knowing the street date etc.
Turns out, they got 3 copies of the game from their distributor. The lady flat out refused to sell and said "come back tomorrow at 8am when we open if you want it". Damn.

Keep in mind, that most stores will have an electronic system that tells them if they can sell an item. It's mostly used for things that have been recalled, but you can easily set a sell on date on there as well.

I always use default names for the characters. Renaming removes some of their personality in my weird twisted definition of reality.

Ever since DQ VIII (my first DQ) I always name my character "Hero". It's tradition.

I hate having to name characters, it's not my story being played, it's the specific character story, so it should have a name given by devs that makes sense in the game world.
Because of that I end up naming my chars stupid things like "Dumbass" "Shitface", etc.
