Not really feeling the main character's design, but everything else looks great. I loved DQ8

This looks fantastic. I don't know what resolution they are running but it looks way cleaner than Nier.
No, but what they've shown for the game thus far is perfectly in line with the fidelity they got with DQ7, so there's no reason to expect that they'll leave regular 3DS hardware in the dust. I do expect that it will probably push the system hard enough to limit OS access, but nothing more than that.
No.

The scenery looks great! I'm not huge on the shading on the models, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Loving how many monsters are on the field, feels very alive. Hopefully this one will be as epic as 8.

It looks really great, but no way is this coming to the West in 2017. That's for Japan.

What an odd combination of platforms for a 2017 game, although I guess they're the best selling console and portable respectively. Still, it will be so odd if the game doesn't release for the Switch.
The 2D / 3D screen combo on the 3DS is such a love letter to fans of the SNES era like myself, though. Two thumbs up.

It's already announced for Switch.

that was the strangest "gameplay" video I have probably ever seen, the PS4 piece anyway lol. It was a bunch of footage of a horse.
and by the way, 2D all the way on the 3DS version for me, assuming it is released on western shores.

What?
It doesn't look good. Very sterile art-style and enemies and character designs look really out of place as a result.
Yes.
Yes, only the prologue is displayed in both 3D and 2D.

Lack of cel-shading and color makes it looks weird, but still 100% happy for this.

I really couldn't disagree with this opinion more. The PS4 version looks fantastic, showed the video to my girlfriend unprompted and even she was impressed. It's a great looking game, and the environment meshes well with Toriyama's character and monster designs.

Looks great, shame it hasn't been announced for the west from what I've seen though.

That probably depends on how serious Square Enix wants to push the series overseas
Is it not having voices in Japan? Would be a shame if they didn't, I loved the voices in 8

Hope the eventual mobile port is more akin the PS4 version though it most probably be a higher resolution 3DS version

I think the Switch should get all three versions. So you can switch between them.
IIRC, it's the same story, but visually different approaches.

Why not Vita? I completely would've double dipped for PS4 and Vita. Now I'm going to have to wait to see what version to pick up. I do plan to get a Switch but I'm still picking up games for the 3DS.
I imagine it's a mix of Vita being unable to run UE4 and Squenix being pretty down on Vita in general, relegating it to much lower profile projects and spinoffs.
But if the Switch version included a port of the 3DS version, there wouldn't be any stereoscopic 3D, assuming the 3DS version has that (DQVIII does not).
I just hope the PS4, 3DS and Switch versions all get localized and released in the west, say, before the end of 2018.
fairly unlikely. DQ always has a foot in the old school, which adds to the charm... but this is the area i think it's time to "modernize" (along with orchestrated ost).
DQ8 showed the global appeal is there, you just need to push it a little

Something looks ever so slightly off with the PS4 version but I don't know what it is. Anyone else feel the same?
Also I can't wait for them to orchestrate the music because the music sounds ripe for it.

I think it's because Horii played SaGa Scarlet Grace when Kawazu showed him an early version during a S-E office visit, and he felt so intimidated he knew he couldn't compete with it. So he's releasing on all the platforms it's not on, and made Kawazu promise to only release that game on Vita.
