Think of it this way, the reason why the Switch version was delayed from the development cycle (Square wanted day and date releases) was because Unreal 4.15 was the version that had full Switch support, while the PS4 version in Japan was 4.13. That was the then official reason why that particular delay happened, because development ran into problems having that work in a timely manner. Now at this point in time, the PS4 and PC version were already being done for the west, when 4.19 was publicly live (so the possibility of the Western release being updated past 4.15 is high).
another thing that's going to add a lot of playtime is the retro areas from the past 10 games (these were in the 3DS version but not the ps4/pc versions). you do three quests in each of the past 10 games (so 30 quests).
I dont think its that wierd actually. It variates from game to game, some games/content are more desireable than others. And if people already own the platform that a game is released on, theres less reason to complain because then one already get access to said content. Same reason why we probably dont see many mainly Switch owners complain about DQXI S. Content can also be timed exclusive (like CoD DLC), and then it will come eventually (i've seen several people complain about timed exclusives though).
It's almost ironic this has to be posted, considering it's usually the other way around. I'm still debating whether I should get this or not. The only thing that's preventing me from doing so is whether the game will run at a consistent framerate. It's difficult when you go from 1440p/60fps PC to something like sub 1080p/30fps on the Switch. The extra features are juicy though.
Yup, and both major story additions sound like fun extra additions (or ports from the 3ds version, although iirc the 3ds had 3d retro areas while Switch has them in 2d), so I'm thrilled to be picking this up in 2 months.
You'd think the 2d mode will drain the battery less than on 3d mode? Would be really interesting to see a comparison like this once it's out.
for western players, i don't think so. there's the dq8 costumes for two of the characters which are new for japanese players but were already in the western localization.
yeah, in the 3ds version the areas from 1 to 6 were in 2d and the areas from 7 to 10 were in 3d, in the switch version all ten games are in 2d.
Actually yes. People want it available as DLC as they have already bought the standard game and supported them in the beginning. A re-release in the same console generation with extra content, different platform or not, without being able to get those extras as DLC (Having to buy the ENTIRE game again for full price), is a bit shit.
i'm not, i just think people move on in most cases but in this cases every thread gets derailed. thankfully there's a mod post now so we can move on.
Of course he knows why people are upset, he's annoyed by the same topic that derails other DQXIIS threads.
no, not yet. i can' imagine each one being shorter than a few hours, so combined they should take 20 to 30 hours at least.
i'm fully capable of that and have said in the past that it's unfair to day 1 buyers. i just don't want to see each thread i make about this game to be mostly not about the actual news.
