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.

nice

hope it wont sold out

damn. so tempted to get this but still working on GoW. will have to wait. looks gooding.

Been reading a lot of reviews, DQ11 is THE traditional JRPG that we have been waiting for. (besides persona5)

Cannot wait to not do anything else and just play DQ 11 lol

DualShockers - 9.5/10
RPG Site - 10/10
PS Lifestyle - 9/10
USGamer - 5/5
Gaming Bolt - 9/10
GameSpot - 9/10


SO TEMPTING BUT... Spiderman is coming out this Friday!!!

Traditional turned based jrpg > action game

Lol Spiderman can wait till I finish DQ 11

This post has been edited by Rei7: Sep 4 2018, 01:54 PM

after spiderman I have Xenoblade Chronicle Prequel then Tomb Raider then Fifa 19

LOLOL.


but this game really tempting!!

dang! physical disc selling for RM179 @ impulse
whereas online still selling RM199

first time seeing physical selling cheaper than online on launch!

its a very last minute price change from supplier, RM30 cheaper now.

I PO 200+ from impulse, got refund?

They say they will be refunding according to FB page

Just reminded me to like their fb. BRB!

Less than an hour till I finish download, lets see how good the game is. Base on reviews better than I expected, pretty high really. PLaying on PC btw, but discussing here instead, since PC about it is sorta dead lol

1 hour plus in the game now and the world look fantastic with vibrant colours!

looking food there

Regret buy from Lazada, no refund RM 30. Paid RM 200+ for it. At least the game seems awesome.

just return the game lor. if didnt open. then buy again hehe. but a bit mafan lah.

So sad la this game. Im currently at Lonalulu.

why sad?

thinking to buy but seems not much hype for this?

I meant the storyline made me shed manly tears few times already and im only 20 hours into the game.

Not much hype because of spiderman maybe.

Rather play this than Spiderman tbh. Also it's not that there isn't any hype for this game, those who really want to play DQ 11 already played the Japanese version a year ago.

Anyone know where I can buy a harp? It's no available in any shops..Only like 12 hours in tho

i am only 7 hours into the game.. and few tips to new adventurers:
1. when you were galloping (press r2) with your horse, you can just ram through all the mobs. you get no exp though...
2. there is no need for you to dismount your horse just to collect materials (sparkling spots, etc.). this is a vevry nice feature to go around the map to collect mats.
3. you can arrange your item using triangle button
4. all materials/items that you got from looting/chest etc will go into the characters bag by default. if you want to put everything into the general bag, press triangle in item window (without getting into the character's specific bag) to get all unequipped item such as potions, crafting mats into the general bag. this is slightly different from previous DQ series whereby under 'misc', there were 'sort item' options.
5. character control: option button is for auto run. R2 is to sprint.

fully voiced in all conversation??

Anyone encountered any problem in installation? My copy won't install, instead it went into copying application mode.

Not all but almost 90% i guess.

how is the review? better than persona 5?

Yea that'll be a bit troublesome haha... I'll just keep it. I think I'll enjoy this game so it'll be worth the money. I love Toriyama's artwork too.

I played dq8 but hated it due to british slang too hard but I'm loving dq 11.. the rpg style feels really nostalgic

This post has been edited by liquidsny: Sep 7 2018, 10:00 PM

oh got japanese voice option ? xD

bought but still no time to play yet

There is no Japanese voice over.. Like all other DQ games, there is zero voice over for japanese, just text.

Luckily my reputable seller agrees to refund me in full after I send him back the copy. Sucks because I cannot enjoy the game.

I purchased digital for rm20 extra.

where to get the physical copy of R3? Impulse got sell?

Yes

impulse sunway sold out it seems

Never seen this error, I guess the game copy is really corrupted or something

After Erik joined the party my game cannot progress anymore, as the installation process is not complete.

Fed up so buy digital.

That one boss fight to forever to finish damn.. i don't think i'm even half way through yet.

I found dq11 is significantly easier in comparison to its predecessors. Of course I'm just about 10h into gameplay, but various points have been tweaked to make it more user friendly.

1. Map will show important characters to talk to
2. Auto saving.
3. Auto revive characters after battle to 1hp
4. Objective text in map

I have played dq123456789 except 10, I would welcome the change but can't help the feeling that next gen gamers cannot adapt to old school dq?

nice, just into 6 hours of the game

saw metal slime!!!!! when running away from dragon xD

anyone found metal slimes farming spot ? or king metal slime farming spot ?

auto revive? are you sure this is in the game? because i do have several characters died at the end of a battle and it stayed like that after until someone use zing on them to revive.

My.mistake, as my impression was only based on 2 Erik and hero.

Yes hero alone will revive with 1hp but not others

will suggest you wait till you get the combo skill from main character, princess and thief to change normal monster to metal slime.

oo so far, my hero never died yet which explain why i haven't experience the auto revive function yet

oh well, younger gen of gamer are well pampered unlike the older days of us hardcore players with all sorts of near impossible challenges thrown at us yet we still prevails.

games nowadays has lots of quality of life changes, to make it more welcoming to newcomers

auto saving it's a must nowadays, most won't have the patient to go thru the usual DQ classic saving process at church which will take up to a minute where you need to confirm few times
last time it might takes you an hour or more just to find a church to save your progress especially when you're in a new area

I have a 3ds, which I bought to just play ahem jrpg, dq4569. Those were brutal. The skills allocation were permanent, enemy damage were devastating, and the save point omg. Church and church and church only.

Lol..but true

well, at least on 3DS you can just close the lid and leave it on standby anytime

last time old gen console where can standby, die die must find a church first before switching off
mom screaming behind while I'm "wait!! wait!! I need to save first!!" for half an hour to find a church

Even now with auto save I still use the same excuse for more game time!

pep up luminary skill for MC

is to pep himself only or the whole team ?

Didn't get it yet. But auto revive of hero? Wtf is up with that?

Die. Just die lor. Wait for revive. I always hated games where main character KO and game over. Like ok... His 2-6 friends all couldn't help him out? Hahah

I think you misunderstood a bit. He is dead yes when battling, but the team mates can revive him. What he meant was when the battle is over only the hero will auto revived with 1hp. If other party member dies, need to revive from church or with skill. But hero if dead in battle will always have one hp and still alive. I think it makes a lot of sense, he is the hero after all.

Hero K.O not game over like Persona 5 at least for DQ11. So it's not an issue.

ah ok. i get it. thats kinda ok i guess. i thought during the fight he cant die. hahaha. confius. but persona 5 was damn annoying. good to know hero ko doesnt mean game over.

Beyond the Beyond, that was a title I haven't heard for more than a decade!

The golden age of JRPG, how I wish games are more similar today, but next gen gamers do not appreciate turn based system. I have known people who refused to touch Persona 5 because it was not an action RPG.

talk about brutal, Famicom/NES's FF3 final dungeon is what I called brutal

zero save point, few steps will trigger a battle, and you'll have to fight 4 difficult bosses first before you can defeat the final boss, which can wipe your team with a single attack

By NES it means your ff6 = ff3 right? Kefka boss? That required u to use all your characters, tough luck for underleveled party. I played during psx re-release.

I just realised u can zoom inside buildings. Lol previous dq u just hit the ceiling.

nope, the original FFIII, it was never released in the west for NES, it's released for famicom's short cartridge only, I have to use a converter to play it on my NES
I only managed to beat it after many years on the EN translated version ROM
it's only later 3D remake on DS & other modern platforms, which is easier

Imagine, the whole game is in Jap, with me near zero knowledge in Jap, have to play guessing game by reading few of the kanji
and in the era of internet dark age? Not helping also is the ultimate big boss at home with a rattan breathing down your neck

btw, FF6 is released as FF3 in the west previously
Kefka boss? piece of cake for me as I tends to overleveled my characters, old habits from olden RPG days

that's the part I like about DQ series, some humor there

you can cast zoom almost anywhere, but whether you hit your head on the ceiling or not is another story

too bad they remove this little humor in the latest DQ

I do not know if anyone here "senior" enough to experience an underated gem, MS Saga. It was a gundam jrpg, mobile suit raging from original UC to God to Wing etc.

Best part about DQ is always the puff puff..

anyone manage to hit jackpot? i ve been playing for hours and still cant hit jackpot.

jackpot guide from reddit

Around 70 hours, and i'm done with the main story, and this includes the true ending.
Now to play clear the rest of the side quest and etc, and 100% the game.

Story wise it's very good. Battle wise, literally like old jrpg games. Characters are nice, the world is great. Art direction and everything pretty good. My only problem would be the midi osts, it's a bit too high pitched, but the rest no issues. On PC I downloaded an orchestra mod, so it isn't midi songs. Overall really good, worth the 5 year wait.

Now to wait for DQ 12

I am on "normal" and find it easy too, should have started with harder mode. Classic JRPG were harder to play or maybe I was too young back then.

No doubt this is the easiest dq series I've played.

Add hard mode settings it will be as usual. I added a few and it felt more challenging.

Any advantages for playing hard?

Don't think so, no tropht either as far as I know. Just makes it better if you are up for the challenge.

finally started to play this game!! The graphic is colorful and pretty btw!!

Thanks for this trick, it really works. Now I have 2 million token

Post game story is where it's awesome imo. I'm still not done with side quests.. Think i'll play hard mode if I think about replaying this game some other time.

Hi there,

I just bought ps4 to play this game. Anyone recommend where to buy this game cheap (don't mind second hand) and which region?

Im selling my used copy at RM160 with postage, pls feel free to pm...

Now I just managed to get the ship. Not sure how much story I have completed, now I addicted to the casino game, and haven't continued with the story since then. ( Feel like wanna get all the weapon and armor in casino before continue the story )
