Emulation on PC.

I think I tried that once, but had terrible sound issues and the performance wasn't too hot. I just think I'll ask friends for a PS2..
The ideal situation would be if SE woul localize it on 3ds for EU.

They shouldn't have to.
CC2 hinted at .Hack. They said they had one open world game, one photo realistic game and one VR game that they were working on (last statement they made). Wonder if they have more in their pipeline since that announcement?
As for Level 5 I'm curious myself. I have no idea what it could be. No idea what I'd even want to see. Hopefully a new IP for consoles?
Cygames also has a new studio working on titles, too. Maybe we can see what they've been working on there as well?
Regarding DQ11... hoping to see just how big the world actually is. I love my exploration, after all!

Yes JRPGS are making a comeback again. I hope we got back to the ps1 and ps2 era. And get some amazing JRPGS!!!!

I love the 2D throwback on the 3DS. Sheer genius, thank you Square-Enix. I've been playing since Dragon Warrior 1 NES and I can't wait to pick it up.
So my only question is...is the layout the exact same of the worlds between the 3DS and PS4 versions? I just feel like it is hard for me to justify buying both, though I have both systems.

And on the emulator you can crank up the resolution to 3x - 4x native resolution, add 16xAF, add some MSAA and other such like that. It looks glorious.

It's only bad if you don't have a computer to support it otherwise you can get some great graphics with it and the sound should be OK too.
I read that interview, great stuff - which brings me to something I'm eager to hear. They said Europe was a big factor for the dual-audio in DQH (based Europeans~) so I hope that consideration comes through again and we get dual audio again for DQ11.

Yeah, Dragon Quest VIII is a very demanding game to emulate, along with Rogue Galaxy. Those 2 take beefy machines.

Can't believe Dragon Quest games aren't on PSN...
Well, found a PS2 copy of DQ8 for 10 bucks, so be it. Hope it looks okay on an LED TV.

How long ago was this though.
If was a few years ago, well...PCSX2 came a long way in terms of compatibility.
One thing for emulation however, especially PCSX2 is that it's much more CPU bound rather then GPU. So your performance is limited by how good your CPU is.
An i5 or better is preferable.
Also sound issues are entirely dependent on what sort of plugin you are using and it's latency setting. Dragon Quest VIII is one of many games that runs flawlessly without issues, and with native up scaling it's looks wonderful. Like a mid gen PS3 game for example.
If you haven't used PCSX2 in a few years, it is most definitely worth a try again.
Its not their IP. Square needs to step up.
Level 5 confirmed long time ago a new game for PS4, they said that the reveal was going to be this past E3... but nothing for now.
And more you forget.

So the thing I don't get is, are both versions the same story in different engines, or are they different stories altogether?

I did not see this coming at all...
Oh wow I'm so happy now, can't believe all these big names JRPGs making a huge comeback on home consoles after the move they did to the portables last gen.
It's a very good time to be a JRPG and alive.
So 2017 for the western release I assume?

According to Square, that's currently the plan. Though I could see the PS4 version getting delayed a couple months to encourage double dippers.
Same story different graphics and presentation

So, I found a PS2, I had one in my brothers room. It works, but looks like shit on my TV. Well, guess I am trying to emulate it one day.

Same story different engines made specifically for each platform. This is in the OP btw.
I'm still in shock that PS4 version looks everything and more that I imagined/wanted for a successor to DQ8
Still, I'm concerned about how early it looks. But then, it doesn't have to be released by the end of 2016, does it? I thought SE said within the fiscal year of Dragon Quest 30th anniversary, April 2016 to March 2017.

JRPG IS BACK
Japan is slowly returning to form. No doubt TGS will have cool stuff from Capcom and Sega (PSO2 PS4 and Phantasy Star Reboot pls).

I bet we get all versions. I don't see Nintendo or Sony letting the other have it as exclusive for their platform(s) in the west. Especially since this is the first mainline one on a Sony platform in a while and Nintendo will want big games to push for NX.
Edit: That or we get nothing

Holy shit. The simultaneous 2D 3D is awesome. Love the it's for NX too.

It only said it was similar to Ni No Kuni, and I have never played Ni No Kuni.
But anyway, this is great news. It helps poor people like me who can't afford another console at this moment. I'm enjoying multiplatform DQ.

Ok I could see getting nothing too.

What situation?

Not actually that important
Great, I'm happy.
I just hope both will make their way here. It would be great having 7 localized DQ games on the same platform (with bc).
Sure, any is good honestly. Think Final Fantasy in that regard.

3 wishes:
1) Console version of DQXI have the same combat as the 3DS version, but perhaps better presented and such. I don't them to follow Ni No Kuni's route of making it half ass real time + commands.
2) PS4 version is probably safe for English localization, but I am interested in the 3DS version as well. Hope SE localizes that as well (and DQ7, DQ8!!)
3) DQXI to have some focus on characters and plot, like V and VIII as opposed to say IX.

DQIX was originally an ARPG. There was a lot of outrage about that, Horii didn't like the prototypes, etc, so they had to the delay the game a couple of years past the planned 2007 release date to completely overhaul the game with a more traditional turn-based battle system.

If you've got a DS/3DS, DQ4, 5, and 6 are great and worth your time.

Well I mean it's kind of strange to be releasing on PS4, which is not even a remotely similar platform to PS4 when the install base is so small in Japan. Before this announcement, I would have said sure, no chance it will come to the west. They'll release it on 3DS and NX or Wii U and it will be Japan only. But the fact that we *know* it's coming to PS4 makes you wonder *why* it's coming to PS4. It doesn't make good business sense for them to do this just for a Japanese audience. Japan only has what 1.5 million PS4s? There's 20 million worldwide. Japan's userbase is less than 10% of the size of the rest of the world, so it just seems weird unless they're planning on localizing it.
I have been looking for something to play on my 3DS since I've had my time with Fire Emblem, which would you suggest from 4, 5 and 6?
DQIX was originally a real-time action RPG but due to fan outcry SE delayed and reworked it into a turn based traditional rpg.
The problem is who takes the publishing duties.Nintendo won´t do that for 3ds that is for sure.Sony for ps4 is not impossible.
Sweet, I would love to play the 3DS version... along with Dragon Quest VII and VIII.
This is Square Enix we're talking about, they haven't localized a Dragon Quest game in years.
Square Enix will you please localize the damn game! ;_;

Both versions look good although the 3DS version is currently more appealing to me. I'll buy both if they are released in Europe.
They're localizing Heroes this October.

This image compared to the field still if DQXI , it is shocking how far the visual tech has come. Getting to the point where hand drawn artwork is translated wonderfully.
I'm really damn happy that Square Enix Japan seems to be back and putting out a whole lot of games on modern consoles, after a whole generation where it felt like they were missing.

DQVIII does a LOT of things I've love to see done MORE in JRPGs. Sure, at it's core, it's as traditional as one gets, but it also presents the world in a more modern sense. The presentation of the world is massive, and you are given freedom to explore it, but the game is STILL linear and story progresses via events. But, it's not so lax that you can do ANYTHING, and not so restrictive that you can't do anything. It's the perfect meeting in the middle. That, IMO, is how JRPGs SHOULD be.
