With ini tweaks, you can already get better grass/shadow/draw distances. But you wont get the same level as the OG release. Higher poly models and textures, maybe I guess ?
But the biggest issue is the lighting change :/

Beat the demo yesterday, I like how the game looks and feels (played on oneX). Used the ultra speed thing to make it faster to level up some.
will surely buy it, had a lot of fun with it.

Finished the demo in about 5 hours. Even though I'd played this part before on PS4, this was so much fun. Kept me from playing other newer games. It's just a really great game and love how fast and smooth this version is (plus JP VA). Almost as excited for Dec 3rd launch of this as PS5 haha
IIRC you have to turn voice acting off completely for that (which I did anyways but sucks if you wanna keep if for cutscenes).
To the users who say there doesn't seem to be much of a visual downgrade, here's side by sides of some shots I took. Both games are at 1080p with their highest settings, with no .ini tweaks (which improves things further with the original release).
Reminds me of when RE4 came out on the PS2.
Everything was there but it just looked worse than the original.
Ah well, probably gonna play this again for the new content.
Wait, the PC definitive version uses the Switch graphics?! That's hilarious. I'm probably still going to buy it, though. I loved the original PS4 version.
If you have capable hardware, super sampling from a higher resolution would work better than the shitty in-game AA.
Been playing the demo on PC. Wasn't grabbing me at first but around the time I got the forge it kinda clicked. Really takes me back to the days I spent playing DQ7 and DQ8 on PS1 and PS2.
But Square Enix desperately needs to get rid of Sugiyama. This soundtrack is not only awful, it's super repetitive. I can't believe it has that single, dull-ass overworld theme for the entire game. Musically this game is such a bummer compared to the last two jrpgs I played, FFVIIR and Persona 5.

iirc, you can swap to the DQ8 overworld theme, which is actually pretty good versus the absolutely dreadful 11 world theme.
not sure how it's going to be handled in the new releases, but on Switch it was done by swapping to the free DLC Trodain set from DQ8.
The game right now is saying Achievements aren't supported so I dunno what's up with that...
They are there, as I just unlocked the one for finishing the Tor, but you just can't view them at the moment.
Huh, weird. I want to buy the game this month but I was gonna wait until I've finished the demo, I hope that wouldn't made me miss the early game achievements, even if it's not a big deal. It would be weird if it did that though, I'm really curious how it's handled.
Guess here's as good as anywhere to ask.
My laptop is pretty much an aging piece of junk, but it ran the demo fine enough. Was going to check out the full game with it on gamepass, and the 16 bit look, but it just doesn't want to fully load.
I get to a "please sign in to a profile" screen and nothing seems to progress...
any ideas?

It did for Trophies on PS4, so i assume its the same for Achievments on Microsoft systems. You dont immediatelly unlock the story trophies on loading the save tho. But as soon as you trigger the next accolade/achievment in the Story category all the past ones unlock too.
Wow those gifs are beautiful. Can't wait to jump in soon.yup can't even upload captures either except to one drive.
I already have the original release on PC. Also completed it. Would it make sense to get this edition still ?
Personally I think the Additions are easily worth another playthrough (I triple dipped even, PC, Switch, and now PS4, havent fully completed Act3 and all the Extra stuff on the switch version tho and will do that on the PS4 version .). On PC some people might even mod it so the lighting and some of the models getting "fixed" so they're higher quality like in the OG PC version.
Has anyone actually played through the entire game in 2D mode? I'm really tempted to do so, but I wonder if it's actually a quality way to experience the game or if it's just more of a novelty.
Might try this just to see how the 2D mode is. Already played the original, but it was a while ago.
I switched between the modes when playing the switch version. Felt like I missed something only playing one of the modes all the time. I like both.
Is the fighting the same in 2d? I just cannot get used to the turn based. I wish it had DQB2 style fighting.
Its a Dragon Quest mainline title. It will always be a turn based RPG no matter the bits or dimensions. For it to not be turn based would be heresy. Theres hundreds of other RPGs with other types of combat to choose from.
I've played through the game four-ish times. The new stuff in the S version is mostly worthwhile. The new stories come at a weird point in the main story but they're pretty fun little diversions. The sped-up battles and new costumes are great. The increase in speed means you can get through the game a little quicker. Might be worth a look if you haven't played the 2D mode before.
That sounds pretty cool. I will probably give this a shot then. It costs €40 on Steam. How it the PC optimization in this ? With the S version ? What are the available options ?
Its Play Anywhere using xbox live cloud saves, so it should.
Looks like the biggest difference is lighting/AO/shadows. I can live with that for it to be free with Game Pass and 60fps.To the users who say there doesn't seem to be much of a visual downgrade, here's side by sides of some shots I took.
