[Mr. Nice_Guy]

That's a hell of a subtitle, damn.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I would guess we get a release date at PSX but who knows!

Fingers crossed!

 

[Shin]

Yeah baby yeah! can't wait!

 

[TheLegendaryN]

I'm so fucking excited for this!! I can't believe it! Thanks so much, Sqeenix!

Really hope they'll bring both 3DS and PS4 over, since both versions are vastly different. Will definitely buy both! Hype!

 

[jph139]

Super hyped. Always wanted to get into Dragon Quest but it never felt like the right time... hopefully it lives up to the hype.

 

[GhostTrick]

According to the tags on the video, it might be PS4 only.

 

[13ruce]

Kingdom Hearts and this in the same year?
First 2017 was awesome and now 2018 too?
Hell fucking yeah.

Love the subtitle btw!

 

[Yazuka]

Fantastic news. So glad we have confirmation.

 

[TheLegendaryN]

According to the tags on the video, it might be PS4 only.

They better don't....

Will definitely get it on PS4 but the 2D mode on 3DS looks super awesome too.

 

[Drilbit777]

Gonna guess we are getting the PS4 and switch versions

 

[18-Volt]

I'm praying to Great Goddess for 3DS and Switch versions. This is supposed to be one long ass DQ game and I don't have enough time at home. If Square wants to be Square and skip the 3DS version, at least they should have a simultaneous release for Switch version. But I've got a feeling that they haven't even started the development on Switch version.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

According to the tags on the video, it might be PS4 only.

I don't think the tags really indicate anything.

I'm honestly not happy about this. DQXI coming to the west should have been a freaking given for a company as big as SE and this makes it seem like they haven't even started localization yet. Frankly I expected this game to release this fall/winter not in 2018 which is already looking packed as hell again.

It seems like they JUST made the decision to bring it to the west and we should be happy were getting it at all but frankly I just find that to be bullshit. It'd be one thing if they were going to pull a DQ8 and do voice acting but its completely unknown at this point what they are actually going to do with this release and waiting a good 5+ months just for the localization just feels so shitty to me.

SE keeps saying they want DQ to be big in the west but their own stupid attitude about the series is why it never gets big in the west to begin with. There seems to be no real reason this couldn't have been a world wide launch and it just boggles my mind that they can pull something like that off for Final Fantasy 15 but can't for Dragon Quest XI

I whole heartedly agreed on this. I feel that when the time the games released all the hype is gone and people just forget about it.

Dumb decision to not release it ww.

 

[Kuraudo]

No Proust?

Great news though.

 

[NSESN]

I would guess we get a release date at PSX but who knows!

I hope not, because it would mean they aren't localyzing the Nintendo versions or at least localyzing late.

 

[KZXcellent]

Yoko Taro is showing support.

 

[Aostia]

For all platforms? I'm behind, is it coming to Switch at the same time as PS4?

Switch version doesn't exist at the moment. It is confirmed in development, but nothing has officially started.
PS4 and 3DS versions will come out next week in Japan, simultaneously.
Going by the screenshots provided with the PR, I'd say only the PS4 version is coming West

 

[Stairouais]

Fuck yeah

 

[sublimit]

Realistically speaking around June/July next year would be great.

It would make sense also 60m+ PS4's vs the rest, it's an easy choice.
Though Dragon Quest would sell a lot on Switch also I reckon so that makes sense.
Not sure how JRPG's fair on Xbox so can't comment on that, good if it's released on XB as well.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I'd allow it.

 

[kromeo]

A month or so after Ni No Kuni 2 would be perfect but that's probably asking for too much

 

[Linkura]

Yooooooo.

Surprised it was announced so soon. <3

 

[Asd202]

Nice hope it's just as good as DQVIII the best JRPG on PS2.

 

[Stygr]

Oh nice, my PS4 will be ready for that.
Might come to PC aswell just like NieR:Automata?

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

YES!!!! So glad they finally anounced it.

 

[ZedLeppelin006]

I am perfectly fine with both this and Ni No Kuni 2 coming next year, shit is waaaay too crowded for the rest of this year otherwise.

 

[Jencks]

Holy shit I didn't expect them to announce it this early!

 

[djtiesto]

Hell yeah, now I don't have to kidnap one of my coworkers and force him to translate!

 

[SciencePilot]

Good news! But I need to know platforms. I'm hoping that Switch or 3ds version makes it here, but I'm kind of expecting only PS4 version.

 

[TheLegendaryN]

It would make sense also 60m+ PS4's vs the rest, it's an easy choice.

PS4 and 3DS are both 60m+ though...

 

[Pepboy]

Still keeping that cringe localization style I see.

If you mean the subtitles, I kind of like them. They are easy to ignore but after playing you realize they fit well...

For dq xi I think (spoiler)

Spoiler

it might refer to connections between xi and previous games. There is one image people are talking about but I don't want to really spoil it.

Edit if you mean the atrocious accents they force on everything, then I 100% agree, the only game they ever added anything to was 8, and really only the main cast (and even then probably because VA work was done in Europe).


But still so glad to see any positive DQ news for west, in any form.

 

[Schadenfreude]

More like Echoes of an Elusive Game, ammirite?

 

[kromeo]

PS4 and 3DS are both 60m+ though...

I doubt they'd have any faith in 3DS DQ in the west after VII and VIII

 

[sense]

I would guess a psx announcement

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I doubt they'd have any faith in 3DS DQ in the west after VII and VIII

If you want to compare how DQ titles on that system did as evidence of how will DQXI will do, PS4 doesn't come out smelling much nicer.

 

[Oregano]

Curses to SE if they keep any SKUs in Japan.

I doubt they'd have any faith in 3DS DQ in the west after VII and VIII

The PS4 games didn't exactly blow the doors off

 

[18-Volt]

I doubt they'd have any faith in 3DS DQ in the west after VII and VIII

Then why would they have any faith in PS4 after Builders and Heroes 1-2?

 

[DriftingSpirit]

DQB did well on PS4.

 

[Guymelef]

Not platforms announced I'm going to assume it's PS4/Switch simultaneous release and maybe PC.

 

[Stairouais]

I doubt they'd have any faith in 3DS DQ in the west after VII and VIII

It's really up to nintendo. SE will do nothing.

 

[alf717]

The "T" is a sword. I am pleased. Now all that is left is no one is left behind like leaving one version out versus the other.

 

[Palette Swap]

You've got to appreciate how they timed the announcement to be at the exact minute the game released in Japan.

No Proust but great title nonetheless.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Good to get a confirmation and that's a good title. Will be my first dragon quest so hope it's a good entry in the series.

 

[Biske]

Well damn. Honestly didn't expect it does fast

 

[kromeo]

Then why would they have any faith in PS4 after Builders and Heroes 1-2?

I don't think they do have a whole lot, otherwise we wouldn't only just be getting a confirmation as the game releases in Japan. I don't think Builders sold all that badly though

 

[Pepboy]

I'm actually a bit confused by this because some western fans imported due to lack of news. But it's so soon after the release they might feel burned?

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

SEXY

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Does it support the PS4 Pro?
