awesome cant wait for it to release on ps4

hope they do a re-release of DQ8 HD on PS4 as well
that was a classic on PS2

Anyway, still a long way to go for the release in 2016

I have never tried dragon quest before. This might be my first one

US version is coming to PS4 & PC (steam ) on September 4, 2018.

With all the new features

English Voiceover
Draconian Quest, a hard mode that offers additional challenges for more experienced players.
Overhauled Menus & UI, with graphical enhancements and more intuitive navigation.
Camera Mode, allowing players to take in views of the beautiful landscape, character renders and ferocious monsters in detail.
A New Dash Function and many other system enhancements such as improved character and camera movement


First English gameplay

So I expect the JP/chinese version will get patched somehow with these features?
luckily haven't grab it, will wait for the Eng version then

lets hope no censorship like in the past DQ

wow another Great JRPG incoming!

Unfortunately no , they have intentionally not doing the voice overs for JP / Chinese and were still using the transparent frame menu because Japanese old school DQmania like them.

Not to mention I often find the English voice acting a little distracting in most localized jRPG.


Regardless this is a must play , especially the epilogues of the game. .
Time travel in an old fantasy game is just way too cool




P/S : Did I mention You get free games ( actual free games which are redeemable on PSN ) by beating DQ11 ?

I was very skeptical on English voice over for all JRPG, IMO most are horrible, until DQVIII, which is top notch
love the heavy accent they used, hope it will be similar for the English ver of XI

Wait is the West version getting the japanese voice over or not..
If not I might as well just get the Japanese version now lol

usually NBGI will put dual language for the game. same like Tales series

Updated the thread so it will look more dated and nicer.

Well hopefully there is a Japanese audio for NA release. If not that's a big let down for me.

No , the entire Japanese version is not voiced , not a single line . Like the DQ8 Japanese version had no vocals at all .


The series director wanted the game to remain fresh but still giving off the nostalgic vibe to the long time DQ fans. Yea I know the Japanese retro gamers are weird like that
At the same time they have also remastered the previous iconic soundtracks from DQ 6 , DQ 7 and DQ8 to be reused in some of cutscenes , which is extremely well done .



On the external , the game may look like a childish Oldschool jRPG .
But it is actually a masterpiece with Toriyama's artstyle captured perfectly on Unreal engine , matched with some of the best game presentation Square Enix has ever done in the last 20 years .

If you ask me , this game BLOWS the FFXV to the water . Not that it actually means anything

i love the game artstyle, pleasant to the eyes..

Then i'll play it with no voice if it's an option
FFXV not even that good, rushed in the end.

Dragon quest is one of the few remaining JRPG still traditionally rooted to the formula which defines it. Look at FF15, if it's still FF or not.

What I like is , they stick to the old formula and improve upon it . It is fun to play , not overly complicated yet have depth of gameplay. The real time party member switch (like Pesona 5 ) is great so you don't have to leave out anyone behind and use them equally .


It has a lot of what we liked in the old games , gigantic hidden bonus dungeon to be found , A whole new world of Epilogue to unlock new story post ending , a whole bunch of sweet costumes for every of these likable and playable characters , all come at no extra cost of silly DLC or microtransaction .Sadly these days that almost sound like a miracle.


What FF15 did on the other hand was the complete opposite , look at how they are selling Pay2win overpower weapons via DLC packs disgust me
Its not a bad game , just not ever going to live up to the brand 's name .

One rather stick to it's core, and the other one prefers to try something new and go the modern route. I think you need both of this types of games in the end.

Tho this days RPG which is more traditional appeals more lately.

Just waiting to get my hands on this game, seriously slow as f. Wish it came out sooner.

Nintendo Switch version stil have to wait until 2019 or 2020.

WTF.
