I don't think this is the case, is it? I think they made a new version for 3DS, it looks worse than the phone version but it's way better than it.

Surprised that this didn't get announced in a bigger fashion at PSX then if it's not coming until 2018 anyway, but this is great to get the news early!
Yup. Really hope so but I too will still get it either way. But I loved DQ8 so I hope they'll do that again for this. At least especially the VA.

Uh, because it's the 3DS. Not exactly know for its graphical power.
I thought the game looked fine.

It's mostly good but the FOV is quite a lot lower then the PS2 version (quite a bit of pop-in), probably because they added visible monsters like DQIX.

I wish we had more information on the platforms in the West. If we got the PS4 version, and the PS4 version is also the version on the potential Switch release, I'm going to be really curious to see a graphical comparison between the two. I would love to be able to play the PS4 version natively on a portable.
Curious what the Pro enhancements are as well, however. If it's something significant, like much better draw distance and HDR, it'll make the choice all the more difficult. That's part of the reason why one of my number one requests for the first Switch revision is an HDR screen. Doesn't even have to be higher than 720p. Just HDR.
On the other hand, the 3DS version cleaned up by a higher resolution on the Switch wouldn't be too bad either. The problem would be playing it blown up on a TV, I'm sure, since that would require some work.

Well, that version was always a lock. Question is how 3DS / Switch will be handled.

So....
Chances of this coming to Xbox? Zero?
Or is there actually a chance? I mean if you had told me before E3 that Xbox was getting the new Monster Hunter I would have laughed like a madman and not believing it at all and now look.
And Code Vein too. And Kingdom Hearts 3.

This. No question the ps4 was coming. It's 3DS/Switch people are wondering about.
Few chances, if the PC version isn't coming either. The priority is PS4 and maybe 3DS for the western market.
Code Vein is probably the result of Phil's trip to Japan. It was initially unveiled on a PlayStation magazine so I wouldn't be surprised if he sweetened the deal for a port. Likewise, Kingdom Hearts was announced waaaaay back, so they can't very well cancel it.
since then, tho? I honestly can't recall when has S-E Japan announced something for Xbox.
I'd say PS4 > Switch >>> PC >>>>> XB1 in terms of western chances.
3DS version rests entirely on if Nintendo feels like publishing it or not but I do hope we get it. If we miss it on the 3DS then maybe a mobile port or something down the line.

I'm surprised by that, Dragon Quest doesn't typically fare too well in Japan.

I'm currently playing DQVIII for the first time. It's also my first DQ game in the series and I'm really impressed with the quality. Can't wait to see how the series translates into a modern day console version.
Along with consoles, isn't there a 3DS version planned as well?

DQ is a lot popular in Japan, more than Final Fantasy. What are you talking about?

PlayStation Europe has tweeted about the localisation about 50 minutes ago, so it's safe to assume the PS4 version is coming. Nintendo still hasn't said anything about whether the game will see a western release on any of their systems...
The game is out on PS4 and 3DS in Japan, with a Switch version coming later. Nothing said about which versions will get localised, except for the above.

You never heard of sarcasm.
I presume Switch version needs an official unveiling before they share any western news.

That's not good. Note I'm talking about Nintendo.

I guess so, but I at least hoped we would get something about the 3DS version. Of course we don't know what the Switch version is, but I'd definitely like to play that 2D version of the game.
If Nintendo announced 3DS release for west without mentioning Switch version, they are just asking for "what about Switch?" questions.
Here's an idea: what if the Switch release includes the 2D version in addition to the PS4 build?
