I don't even play DQ and I like her already lol

 

[rhandino]

Any clues about what style of combat are we going to get in the PS4 ver.? Saw the vid but they did not showed any but I have the lingering feeling that is going to be similar to DQX...

 

[Aeana]

Oh hey, Lump Mages.

Don't think they've returned in any mainline games since their introduction, if I recall right.

They're in DQ3 and DQ8.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

Praying like hell to the Almighty that we get the 3DS version localized. It looks freaking amazing.

 

[Arkeband]

At this point it looks like showing the Protagonist use Gigaslash on the part of the song at 1:50 (in the trailer video) is a regular thing.

I remember one of the DQ8 trailers synced that moment with Dragon Soul, that level 65 ability where you crash down like a meteor.

 

[Kanann]

World Tree has fallen, run quick!

Go get my crystal, Cecil.

Granpa Gohan (Not sure this is Goku or Kuririn...)

ESRP: T (T = Tolneko)

 

[Instro]

Looks great running on a console once again. Going UE4 for their games was the right decision.

We've had this image for over a year now.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Yes, I will likely double dip on Dragon Harem XI.

I'm actually really digging the mix of Toriyama art and realistic shaders. The result is a much better "3D anime" look than stuff like Tales.

 

[Shouta]

Looks good but I don't like the lazy work on party members...new Torneco, new Alena, new Flora, new Maribel, new Angelo, hope they plays different at least, need to see more.

You see the old man using claws in the opening film so he's not Torneko other than being the fat man, lol. It seems he and the long haired girl are both martial artists where he focuses on claws, she focuses on kicks. From the little bubble at the start, it looks like he finds her unconscious and takes her in. Maybe he teachers her?

 

[JeffZero]

Looks fantastic. Hoping for a 2018 release in the West.

 

[AgeEighty]

I know, but it just looks odd with realistically proportioned characters rather than chibi ones, combined with the decent lighting.

DQVIII didn't have chibi characters either.

we've already known turn based, just like the rest of the versions

 

[silva1991]

PS4 versions is the real deal for me.

I hope to make the animations better.

ESRP: T (T = Tolneko)

Why is Granpa Gohan holding Krillin instead of Goku?

 

[Shaanyboi]

PS4 version looks good. Would love a Switch version for the portability. Just feel so done with the 3DS though.

 

[clay_ghost]

3DS version better come to the west.

 

[Jpop]

Remember though DQIX was originally an ARPG.....

[Jigorath]

Seeing him in action, the MC doesn't look that much like Future Trunks.

 

[jb1234]

The music may end up being orchestrated (Sugiyama has lost this battle a handful of times now), but Sugiyama doesn't want the in-game music to be orchestrated in the games in the first place. With that said, I don't think that what's there is final regardless. The synth quality and effects will probably improve if they end up not replacing it with orchestrated stuff.

It's such a bizarre hill to die on in the first place. You'd think he'd want as many people as possible to hear his music in the best quality.

 

[MaximumSpider]

2017 is going to be one hell of a year for gaming.

And best part of the gameplay footage lol

Hype is through the roof right now ahhhhhhh

 

[Aeana]

He wants to sell CDs and tickets to his concerts.

 

[rhandino]

Oh, they confirmed that? Nice.

I only remember that screenshot but since it looks similar to DQX...

Doesnt really matter tho since I dig both styles.

 

[Magicpaint]

Man, this looks hype as hell. So many references to the first trilogy. This feels like a refresh for the franchise.

I am still not sold on the artstyle for the PS4 version though; for me DQVIII had the perfect aesthetic for the 'grand' style DQ and this looks off. But I loved the horse riding and generally just the scale has me pumped.

3DS version has the aesthetics down, but damn, those static NPCs bother me a lot. It still looks awesome though.

Wish we saw more gameplay for both but I'm fairly satisfied.

 

[No_Style]

Gotta say that the ninja girl looks fine but the other two look like weird dolls thanks to the eye shape.

I agree and I am a fan of Toriyama's art style.

 

[Ray Down]

Hhhnnnggg when is the U.S.release????

2018 .

 

[AgeEighty]

With that said, I don't think that what's there is final regardless. The synth quality and effects will probably improve if they end up not replacing it with orchestrated stuff.

I just figured that if they were going to make the game fully orchestrated, they wouldn't bother making a synth version. Except maybe for 3DS, but even that's capable of in-game orchestrated music.

 

[JeffZero]

My one worry is that the main quest will wind up being like 18 hours long, lol. They'd call it a throwback but it'd just be emblematic of too many Japanese games these days.

I hope it's got a nice length to it. But I'm sure it'll be rad regardless.

 

[Newtype-001]

The ps4 version looks so good
Kamiu and Ninja girl 😍😍😍
The mcs design is growing on me since the initial reveal

 

[Aeana]

DQ music is developed in a fairly unique way for the industry. Sugiyama sits down and plays the game, and maps everything out, and then he wants to hear it in the game as he plays. The synth stuff is always part of the process.

 

[Blablurn]

Looks incredible!!

 

[Azuran]

Hopefully it doesn't take long for her to join the group.

I don't need scrubs in my party when I know she's out there.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Looks utterly sublime. I'll probably grab both versions since they look like they will have a few differences.
The artstyle has really been nailed in the HD 3D this time.

 

[Yazuka]

Omg! Ninja girl in my party forever! <3
It's looking great I just love how well Akira Toriyama's artstyle transitions into 3D.
I really really hope this comes west.

Interesting. Well, I hope we the players end up winning out on this one.

I imagine that synth demos are pretty common in the industry these days (like they are for film scores). Producers want to hear at least a rough-cut of the music before they pony up the money to get it recorded.

 

[Irishonion]

We've had this image for over a year now.

Would the be turn based style?

 

[Magicpaint]

Wolrd map from official website:

I can see a massive snow region and, thus, I am pleased.

 

[Aeana]

It seems like DQ10, which is more like ATB with free movement than the traditional turn based style the series has had.

 

[Days like these...]

Really really looking forward to this.

 

[encephalon]

This will probably be my second Dragon Quest. I own III for SFC, but I've never gotten around to it.

 

[Man God]

You're worried about a DQ game being 18 hours long. The last games around that length were made 25 years ago.

 

[Glitter and Gold]

Got all the time in the world to change that before this drops

 

[Ozium]

hopefully more people play this so they can understand how great dragon quest is and stop with the exaltation of that overrated final fantasy series

 

[JeffZero]

We live in interesting times. FFXV's main quest is remarkably short.

I'm not saying it's likely, but I've learned to keep my guard up against odd turns in sequels to franchises I adore.

 

[labx]

it is confirm that this bad boy is coming to west, right?

 

[Aeana]

it is confirm that this bad boy is coming to west, right?

Nope.

 

[Zesh]

Looks great. I'm already very happy with the party; the cast seems to be quite diverse. Hope this hits the west in early/mid 2018.

 

[jonno394]

Maybe it's just me, but the world itself of the PS4 version looks stunning, but the characters populating the ingame do not. Their is something not quite sharp enough about the enemies/main character when standing on the world map, maybe it's just the quality of the video, but they seem somewhat fuzzy.
