Homeconsole DQ is best DQ!

 

[Reorx]

this looks really charming, like Ni no kuni 2.
Wished to see some battlefootage for the PS4 version though.

 

[Mediking]

That PS4 version looks hot, god damn. I'm in day one

PS4 Dragon Quest characters look as plastic as Sora does on PS4.

 

[MoonFrog]

Next year is going to be killer when it comes to releases. Just hoping we will get this in the west next year as well.

Please. I don't usually get this worked up. But I'm really feeling hyped today. We better get all the versions, too.

I want 3DS version. I want UE4 (and I want it portable on Switch).

 

[DNAbro]

I feel like hoping/expecting the 3DS version when chances are it will be 2018 when DQ11 comes here seems hopeless. Not even Nintendo will support the 3DS for that long, especially if Switch takes off.

 

[devious.one]

2017 is shaping up pretty nicely.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Buying this on whatever it comes out for here. Will totally double dip on PS4/3DS versions if both come.

I'm going to probably play the switch and 3ds ver, though it's funny because I bought a ps4 in preparation of dqxi.

 

[Major B.S.]

Hmm.....

PS4 Real-time combat?

3DS Turn based combat?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

We haven't seen the ps4 version combat at all now that I think about it? Hopefully it's simply you run into a monster they jump into place your party materializes and bam turn based

Oh that day it was announced could well have been the day I decided to fold and buy a PS4. I did this past cyber Monday instead; TLG did me in.

Aeana posted a picture of it they released a while ago, earlier in the thread. Has a line of a slime and two lips. And a menu.

I don't see why anyone would like a real time DQ game.

 

[EDarkness]

I don't see why anyone would like a real time DQ game.

I don't either. It doesn't really show how party members fit into the mix, though. That's what I'm curious about.

 

[MoonFrog]

I don't see why anyone would like a real time DQ game.

Wait, is the darkened Lips in the background?! So not a line of lips and a slime but a slime and two lips separated by row?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I don't see why anyone would like a real time DQ game.

I'm sure there are people out there. I'd try one for sure but not a mainline

 

[Ōkami]

The musou games are the best option then.

 

[4 is a cutie]

Damn, I was hoping we could customize our main character's look/gender; he looks pretty bland

DQ8's Hero was a bit more cool/cute-looking

 

[funkystudent]

Curious how the western releases will be handled considering how slow SE is with 3DS releases but for the most part how good they have been with timely PS4 releases.

 

[Aeana]

Guys, combat is almost certainly going to be similar to DQ10.

Yeah I figured that's the reason they exist primarily

 

[Megalosaro]

It's funny. Every Sony console I've bought, I bought for dq.

I got ps1 for dq7 in 2001.

In 2005, I got my ps2 for 8.

I bought a psp for dq and ff itadaki street.

I hope it's a little more traditional. X looks dreadfully slow, which is understandable for an MMO, but not what I want out of a SP title

 

[plank]

I don't see why anyone would like a real time DQ game.

People who don't like turn based games.

 

[The n00b Avenger]

I have a hard time imaging them transitioning away from the classic combat in a traditional Dragon Quest game, especially since the 3DS version already does use classic supposedly. 2 different battle systems seems like an unnecessary headache.

Though if they do go with a DQ10 system, guess I'll have to grab the 3DS version instead. A shame since I was looking forward to the PS4 version initially.

 

[MoonFrog]

Never played, and a bit confused by the footage. Is the player controlling the movement? What is going on with the menu?

11 months for heroes 2 is too long
I don't even want to think realistically how long xi will take

Would be great if this will have online play too

Looking at that video just makes me wish they would bring over DQ X. Game looks fun.

So its still ATB/Turn based, choose attacks from menu, but the characters can move around on the battle field. A bit like Ni No Kuni perhaps?

 

[Porcile]

People who don't like turn based games.

So people who don't have any real interest in DQ at all then.

 

[Glitter and Gold]

Yeah I was about to say

Kingdom Hearts exists and looks just as good. Go play that.

 

[cartman414]

I'm just hoping SE was caught unawares of the Switch hype. 11 for the Switch seems like a must now, if Switch is to be pushing the 3DS to the side. (I'd still pick up 3DS version for old school 2d DQ fun times if Switch version = PS4 version.)

Yeah I was about to say

Kingdom Hearts exists and looks just as good. Go play that.

Well, lots of people play Pokemon, so that can't be the issue.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

Nahh it looks hot. Trust me on this.

 

[kurahador]

So like Star Ocean 5? Please stop wishing for bad thing.

 

[clem84]

this looks really charming, like Ni no kuni 2.

They're giving it to use very slowly. First it was a very early look at the overworld. Then it was the overworld with monsters on it. I guess the next step is to show the main character walking on the overworld and running into a battle.

 

[Zetta]

I hope this game is turn based. I do not want it to be like DQX, just make it the classic turn based system and I'm happy.

 

[Ricker]

I don't see why anyone would like a real time DQ game.

Well theres the DQ Heroes series now but yeah,a regular DQ I prefer turn based,not that many of those left anymore on consoles.

 

[funkystudent]

11 months for heroes 2 is too long

I forgot that Dragon Quest localisations even on the recent Playstation games are still fucked.


This thing is totally 2018/19 here

I really, really wish they'd find a way to localize this.

The Switch in N.A getting it would be great.

Combat reminds me of Final Fantasy 12.

 

[Megalosaro]

Kind of. It's basically just typical DQ battle system, but with the only difference being that you can move around your characters.

The thing I'm curious about is whether or not you control all of your party members. In DQX, you can't. Though, if you rent your party members from the pub you can change their AI using the tactics like in NES DQ4

Ok. I was getting that and ATB. Is it ATB? ATB wait, or ATB not-wait?

I hope you can control party members. But giving out tactics is fine too, works fine in other DQ. If you can't control, I hope you can switch the lead perspective and play with the other characters.

Also, does movement matter like it does in an MMO? Are there things like back-attacks or avoidable AOEs?

you tell 'em, pal!

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

There seems to be some confusion..I don't want the combat to be action before this turns into a plz keep my franchise the same tirade..i love turn based lkl

 

[Fbh]

Environments on ps4 look amazing. And the intro was great.
I've never been a big DQ fan, but will definitely be getting this one.


Not sold on the character models though. I like their design but they look weirdly plastic and doll-like. The girl from the intro borders on creepy

Again, still have no idea what's wrong with them, especially in the intro where the shaders are significantly more advanced so the limitations of the hardware dont even exist. That's toriyama's art style in 3D and is literally no different from the CGI cut scenes from Dragon Quest heroes

 

[Lord of Ostia]

He said he wanted the game to be turn-based; Star Ocean 5 is an action RPG, like Tales of. Not similar at all.

That would be the one thing that would kill my hype for this game

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Lol yea that was a weird comparison. I do imagine battles starting like tales of Zestria or SO5 because of how enemies are on the map and the player character

 

[FStubbs]

For those who want the 3DS version - I'm sure the 2D part of the 3DS version will be ported to phones as quickly as possible.
