Everything is set to max. Turing music volume down helps things
Speaking of that - do we know if we have to wear the DQ8 outfit to do that, or is it literally just a field music toggle in the menu?
i'm still not clear about that. at e3 they said the outfit and music are gonna be available as part of a dlc bundle, but now they're giving the outfit as free dlc. so i don't know if the music is included or a separate paid dlc.
either way, you won't have to equip the outfit to choose the music.
Do we know for sure that handheld version is 540p? I don't know but for me it looks like it's dynamic there but maybe not but it's definitely not native 720p.
Yes it does. Don't get why some says it's too blurry because it is not.
The orchestra music has made this into a completely different game for me. The surround sound is also fabulous. Shame it's not the best looking version to match, but it's certainly not terrible in that regard.
Looks pretty good; outside of the lower resolution it looks just like my brain remembers it, even if side by sides show the obvious lighting differences and stuff
you will. it's more an annoyance than anything. it makes talking to be some people take longer than needed.
I was hoping for stuff like misdirection and whatnot. it's just a gag
I got the feeling that photo mode is remplacing it, even if it's not as fast to do that way.
Turn it off. It repeats itself with different NPCS after awhile.
Kinda wish they didn't remove First Person view.
Yea but having party members striking poses is awesome.
Phew boy that's excellent. 100% using that music.
Yeah. Just talked with all NPCs so far and was starting to notice this. Man, I was expecting some misdirection or new dialogue options rotfl..
Can I turn it off now or I do have to restart?
you can turn draconian quests off mid-game, you just can't turn them back on.
Go to the church and turn it off.
One thing that sucks is that you can't turn other stuff on.
Not really that familiar with the DQ games but decided to download the demo.
Surprised by how charming the game is, only played about 15 minutes.
I like the opening cutscene, are there are a lot of cutscenes/story bits of that quality through out the game or is it just one of those "opening CG scene only" type things?

I see, fortunately I'm not not interested in the other options but completely freedom on them would have been nice I guess.
there's no difficulty setting in the traditional sense. you can set some modifiers that make the game harder when making your save file. like half xp, harder monsters, etc
Cool. Thinking of using one of my Switch voucher's on this game now.
So I missed these settings when I started the game or I can somewhere change them?
you can't set them now, so i guess you have to start a fresh save. i think you have to press x when making a save to set them.
Yeah, it's disappointing that they removed something like no fleeing, which actually affects the difficulty, and added something that is more like a gag that doesn't have a whole lot of depth to it.
Also annoyed at the lack of first person view. Not really sure how I'm feeling about the overall port right now. The game is still really solid but part of me wonders if the new additions are really going to be worth it for some of these trade offs.
"Pulls FF6 on you" Alright.. that kinda sold me.
Is the end game content, and quests consistent at that point? A darker atmosphere, and high quality end game go a long way for me.
ah damn, that sucks. whatever, I won't restart.
thanks for the info
I just want to chime in and say, as someone who didn't play DQ11 on PS4 and have no point of reference, I find this game strikingly beautiful and with a beautiful orchestrated soundtrack. The load times are basically nonexistent, and everything feels very polished.
I have played some of this game on both PS4 and PC and was hesitant to get it again due to what I assumed would be a huge downgrade graphically.
Well DAMN lol I just started the demo and I'm shocked at how great it looks docked. I think I expected way worse so I am pleasantly surprised.
And with all of the extras this has it's just a no brainer so I'm gonna preload it tonight.
Ultra fast battle is great! Am I crazy or do you live faster running around now also?? Symphony soundtrack is just love.
Having played about halfway through the game on PS4 and based on all this version has to offer, I highly recommend anyone on the fence to at least try the demo. DQ11 is my 2nd favorite game in the series and I'm as excited playing now as I was day 1 on PS4 :)))

Damn. I guess it goes to show the amount of confidence they have in the game if they're willing to let people play so long without paying.
I am looking forward to the DQ8 music, I've got to say. The music all sounds very good, which I imagine it didn't as a MIDI, but oh my god is it repetitive. It's not really bad, but both the field and battle music are basically one melody repeated over and over with some doodly bits inbetween, which has very rapidly started to annoy me considering how much you hear.
Never played DQ 11 yet but were many really bothered by the soundtrack being midi synthesized or is it because the songs themselves just sounded repetitive?
I've seen a bit of both. I know a lot of people said the MIDI sounded pretty bad, but I've heard criticism of the quality of the music itself as well.
unlike Setsuna, the FF6 comparisons for Octopath were positive
Downloaded the demo and was disappointed to see that the Draconian no flee option was removed. I wanted to add a little bit of difficulty without using harder monster, so I wanted to try a combo of Reduced XP from low level monster and No fleeing. Oh well, I only selected Reduced XP so I don't overlevel.
Also, is that Draconian notification going to go away at some point? It's in the middle left of the screen and very annoying.

I enjoy good Midi composition (played a ton of PC games back in the hey day of Midi using a Gravis Ultrasound and various soundbanks. The midi composition is just plain horrible, they selected some of the worst sounding instruments ever. Music was so bad I had to turn it down to 1 out of 10 (didn't want complete silence) until I finally got the PC orchestrated mod..
I don't know why the option even exists (OR WHY IT'S ON BY DEFAULT) but there's an option in the settings menu to turn it off.
I also thought the game was just showing a temporary pop up but then after an hour I started digging around menus lol.
Thanks, I thought it was a temp setting to remind you. Didn't realize it was permanent until you turned it off. So stupid for it to be the default setting or even an option in the first place. Seems like it is for someone who took a 6 month break between playing and forgot they had Draconian features turned on or something lol.
