I played 10 hours of the PS4 version, so the demo would get me to where I was before? That's pretty darn great!
Gonna start playing the demo tonight!

The demo continues until you get your 4th party member and are about to go to the next area.
If you head to the next area you get an option that asks if you want to end the demo and create a save that gets you 3 seeds of skill in the main game or keep playing. If you choose to keep playing you can still run around in the previous areas. You can go back to that area whenever you want to choose to end the demo and get your seed save
Ok, it sounded like due to the game being compressed on a smaller card size it was affecting the resolution of the game. Or at least the graphic quality of the game in general.
Either way, still undecided which version to go with.
It's the other way around. The texture quality that they could realistically achieve on the Switch hardware is lower than on PS4, meaning smaller texture files which are easier to fit onto a game card.
Is a slight improvement in graphics worth more than the numerous gameplay enhancements?
The PS4 version has worse music and less content
All of that is music to my ears (unlike the actual music in the game).
They have the orchestral DQ 8 overworld music as DLC (Free?) and that will fix any music issue while exploring :)
Oh I meant because of the composer himself, not the actual music lol
All the same, the DQ11 over-world theme does not lend itself well to exploring. Also, fuck Sugiyama
I don't know, it's really hard to say how "slight" the difference is.
Anyone know what the resolution is supposed to be docked? That is the way I will be playing.
From what I am hearing, even in this thread, it is "blurry" in handheld mode. Even though I will be playing docked, that is not very encouraging.
The modifier message can be turned off? Just want to be clear because I'm probably doing "super strong monsters" instead of full draconian (if that's possible).
yes, check the settings. I assume we're talking about how the "stronger monsters" is all day on screen by default if this is like the PC version.
I only did Super Strong Monsters, it's possible.
Yeah, it's in the settings, thank god. I was getting really annoyed until I found that. I'm doing the same thing.
Since it's Square Enix I guess the game will drop in price quicker and lower than other Nintendo games?
Great, thanks. Just one more question, if Super Strong Monsters is turned off later can it be re-enabled or is just permanently gone from your file once you turn it off like other Draconian settings?
Nintendo is publishing it, so plan on pricing as you would a Nintendo game.
720p docked, probably dynamic. Compared to the PS4's 900p that's not too bad.
No, the opposite. M+R was published by Ubisoft everywhere but Japan, this game is published by Nintendo everywhere but Japan.
Performance appears to be a pretty stable 30fps in all modes from what I can tell. Not sure if anyone else has had a different experience.
720p (maybe dynamic?)/30 with a stable framerate from what I've seen. It doesn't look as good as PC/PS4 (obviously), lower res textures/aliased grass. There's the Gamescom video if you want to see what it looks like:
A demo, sweet. Sorry Yugioh, you just got bumped down my priority list for my 4 hour train ride.
the octopath demo (the first one) was REALLY meaty too. i'm sure it was the biggest factor in the game's success.
I feel like JRPGs especially really benefit from meaty demos. The genre tends to require a certain degree of commitment before they open up and get engaging, so letting that opening stuff be free makes it way easier to get into.
exactly. you can't really sell a JRPG (or any RPG) with an hour long demo.
I was roughly 6 hours into the PS4 version and stopped after reading about the midi soundtrack being replaced in the Switch version. That news alone made me willing to take a bit of a graphical hit, because the midi soundtrack is horrible. I'm going to go home tonight and fire this bad boy up, get as far as I can so I'm ready for release day.
It's apparently 10 hours long to do everything. Someone upthread mentioned it ended right around when you get your 4th party member.
Can you play the 2d from the start ?
Sorry if it's been adressed.. but, does the progress carry over to the full game ?

In the full game ? Yes.
In the demo ? No, there is only 3D mode available.
And yes, progress carries over to the full version.
Thanks, I guess I'll wait for the full release.
Already finished the game on PS4 so I just want to play the game in 2D :)
Yeah, I've heard the first two acts are easy. I started with the harder monsters Draconian Quest and am pretty satisfied with how it feels so far.
Hmm, I'm only 1 hour in, I might restart, I'm just concerned as I dont want this game too easy or too hard.
No, Nintendo published the game, so for all intents, in the west, it's a first party game (just like Octopath never drops in price).
How is everybody enjoying it overall,
I feel like it is best to have it on because if you don't like it you can always turn it off. I personally went with stronger monsters and "Game over if hero dies".

Start with the harder difficulty, you'll always be able to turn it down if it gets too hard.
