Wait, they don't even animate when attacking the player? If not, that's pretty weak.

Definitely Japan especially would grab all that shit

I'm actually hoping for the Switch edition to be an enhanced version of the 3DS game rather than a downgraded PS4 port.
The angle chosen for the 3D boat ride is really awful imo.

Yeah, that's the one part of 2d mode that just screams how it's all made on a cheap budget, since they can't even use "that's how it was back in the SNES!" as an excuse.
What bothers me is that there's no interaction between the paddle and the water at all. It doesn't even clip into it or anything, it just looks like it's floating above it.
The 3DS version looks neat because it looks like a cross between Dragon Quest VII on the 3DS and classic Dragon Quest games.
I don't mind that the characters do not animate in 2D mode. It's paying homage to early Dragon Quest titles in that respect.
The PS4 version reminds me of Dragon Quest Heroes and Heroes II except with a little bit more cell shading to the character models.

Togashi or Oda should take over for Toriyama.
Still undecided on whether to get this, but would like to give it a chance considering the popularity of the series. Did the same with persona 5 and that worked out well for me.
But, I'm really not a fan of the sound for the game. The music feels a little underwhelming but the sound effects are really annoying for me and it's the biggest factor for me not to get the game. I say this as a newcomer though (only played DQ8 on ps2, never completed it) so theres no nostalgic value for the sound effects.

Love the thicker cel-shading and vibrant colors of the 3DS version and how it seems like a step between DQIX and DQVIII in terms of graphics.
Then again, I adore the sheer scale of the PS4 version (especially in that village gameplay). The lack of more prominent cel-shading on the characters turns me off though.

They get Oda, WAY bigger mangaka and closer to emulating Toriyama style.
I think he didn't truly mean it seriously, but he mentions before it's a lot of work and now he only does major charcters.
pretty done

...I guess the 3DS version is like just getting a bowl of ketchup to eat then.
PS4 version looks great to me. Will be my first DQ game as long as nothing goes horribly wrong with it. The graphics are so damn nice.
afaik you can control the camera

The PS4 music sounds just awful.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
I was excited by the first trailers, but these gameplay movies dampen my enthusiasm. The MIDI score with cheesy samples is a major factor. Makes the whole thing feel like a low budget JRPG..This is not hwo Dragon Quest should return to Playstation. It will certainly turn off western console gamers whose last DQ game was on the PS2 and expect a much higher production quality on the PS4.

Reception seems to be pretty bad judging from the dislikes on the videos.
Yeah I'm kind of with you to be honest.
I actually think the 3D version of the 3DS game is the better looking one. The PS4 looks really weird, the animation is stiff af and because of that the characters look like dolls, and yeah the sound and the high definition graphics dont mesh together. The 3DS version on the other hand, being stylized/chibi hide these problems a lot better. Still, I want to play this on a big screen, so PS4 it is.
I have to second this. Even if the PS4 version didn't exist, the 3DS' graphics are incredibly fucking rough these days. I really hope the Switch version is pared down version of the PS4 version.
In no universe is the 3DS version better looking than the PS4 version. The latter is straight up producing a more faithful rendering of the official artwork than the former.

Can't be as ugly as playing on the 3DS screen.
My favorite one is Dragon Quest V, which has remakes on the PS2 (via a fan translation) or on DS or mobile versions.

you should definitely do Dragon Quest 5 (a DS game) and Dragon Quest 7 (3DS game)
What's your standard for 3DS games "this day"?

Shame on you guys for calling for the replacement of Sugiyama by another composer. This man has been the *ONLY* composer of the DQ series since its inception and for good reason. His music is some of the absolute BEST classical orchestral type music ever made by ANYONE! He is my favorite game/anime composer of all time, topping even Yoko Kanno, Ko Otani and Michiru Yamane.
Replace him? What is wrong with you?

he did some amazing works, no one denies that.... But when someone can't deliver anymore, you replace him, that's it!
This, get someone else at that point.
He's old, he can't produce a 100% original soundtrack anymore, and his views about music in games are dragging down the game quality now.
If Saito will produce the next mainline title then maybe we get Okabe to compose.
So is there really no voice acting, even in the PS4 version? I know DQ never tries to be super modern or anything, but it would feel like a bit of a step back after 8 (at least in the west and the 3DS version in Japan) and the Heroes games being voiced. At least that would be one less hurdle for the localization if they don't have to record a dub, I guess.
Okabe is amazing but would be completely inappropriate for DQ. The tone and musical history of the series should still be considered for future entries.
That and even the new tracks done after VII are very hit and miss.
Will be a sad day when that happens.

He's one of my favorites too, but it's hard to deny that he's been phoning it in for a while now.
