Dragon Quest XI S launches on switch this fall. Orchestral music, 2D mode, new story, exclusive.

1. I'm double dipping and I finished the game. I loved the game enough to experience it with the orchestral music and the new story content.
2. It is indeed long since it took me 80 hours to beat. As far as difficulty goes, I played it on normal and I only really died during the final boss. It felt pretty balanced to me buuuuuuut there are difficulty options you can customize. I would just be the wrong person to ask about that because I never messed with them.
Yep. Because he's not in a significant position of power in the company. If that's not far enough for you, tough shit dude. If he was the face of the company or the face of the dev team, I'd boycott the game or company itself all day long until he was gone. He's one small cog in the machine. A shitty cog, no doubt, but he's not that important. Like I said before, if he was someone in a position like Nomura or someone like Tabata was, I'd be hard out of DQ or even Square as a whole yesterday, but he's not.
Take the good enough man, or condemn every single person here buying it and especially those double dipping.
I could play this game in the best possible experience ever on the PC, but i just rather play RPGS in undock mode on the Switch. Mobility over stationary gaming is the best experience for me.
Not really the same thing. Most of the time that's been due to Nintendo putting out inferior hardware and sacrifices having to be made in order for the game to run properly on the Nintendo system.
Appears so. And thank god for that as S-E has no clue how to advertize DQ in the west.
1. The only platinum trophy I have ever gotten is for this game.
2. The game is quite lengthy. Took me 45 hours for the main game, 72 hours for the post game (which is essential to the story and should really just be called "the rest of the game"), 90 hours for the platinum. Difficult? On normal, not really. There were only a few instances in which I really felt challenged. But the game has hard more options.
1. Yes
2. It's pretty long, it's not hard at all on default but you can make it much harder if you want with options
Kind of wish people would stop platform wars.
We got it so much sooner on PC and PS4. It's cool that Switch is getting a lot of significant bonuses.
I do wish they would update the other versions with *some* of these features. But at least on PC we had several solutions.
And please support the game, it's a full experience no matter which platform you get it on ! Worth it !

Uh... Sugiyama is definitely a large cog of Dragon Quest. It's why he has so much power and say.
It's warranted. There's a million games coming out and that I could play other than this and be satisfied the rest of my life. It's easily skipped if they want to pull this exclusive bullshit on a platform that's not my choice. I have a Switch. I have a PC. I want to play this at 60fps and best graphics/resolution possible as it's a cool looking game art wise.
Fuck it. I'll only be happy if they patch it in to other versions. No reason not to. I wouldn't be bitching if it was an exclusive game to the platform. It's not.
Also I'm not yelling at you just the situation.
They did in the 3DS version, which the 2D mode is from. PS4 didn't. Costume changes are also reflected in the 2D sprites.
Does it make any difference if someone takes the stand any other place in the world? :P Seems a bit condescending toward those who live in the west, because the opinion would be the same regardless of where people live. I guess that isnt your intention though, but i just had to mention it.
To be fair, DQ11 will be over 2 years old (released in July 2017 in Japan) on PS4 when the Switch version gets released. Its not uncommon that they add new things to a later release/version. I do agree that it would be nice if they at least give the new OST as an update for the PC and PS4 version though.

I think they'll add it. It would be rather cruel if they don't make an update to the music at least.
Then get it on PC.
There's orchestral modes and the game looks like this :

No, most of the time the Nintendo versions (on past consoles, not the Switch) didn't get any DLCs when others did, and quite often extra maps and such were missing, and this had nothing to do with how powerful the Nintendo console was. Yet there was never an outcry by anyone but the Nintendo console owners - quite the contrary, the common answer was of the type "if this bothers you get a PS3/360".
How's the difficulty of "strong monster" in the third arc? I removed it in the start of that arc.
Yeah sure Sugiyama is definitely not the big part of DQ franchise...... /s
I'm not going to go tell everyone that they shouldn't support DQ because it's ultimately their choice, and supporting DQ doesn't equal to supporting Sugiyama's delusional/horrible ideals, but gosh.... Let's just not brush of Sugiyama as "random composer A", he was always a big part of DQ franchise, and will continue to be so. FFS, I'd argue that he's a way bigger name to DQ franchise than Tabata is to FF franchise.
They're adding a lot of new things to this version, but damn... It looks rough. I don't think I can deal with so much pop-in and blur. Plus, you know, beating the game already on PC. Maybe everything will be a paid upgrade for other platforms at some point, like World Of Final Fantasy Maxima.
Don't blame the shitty fan boys who throw around stuff like that. Blame the companies for not releasing content on your preferred platform. Not releasing DLC and stuff for old Nintendo console was a shitty move by those companies and it would be a shitty move by Square if they don't release this for PS4 players. I am still hoping they will release a DLC update like they did for the World of Final Fantasy Maxima content. If not I will 100% buy the Switch version.
Considering they had to remake the game in UE every single time they had to do a new release, I don't find the likelihood good.
It was fine, I 100% the game with Stronger Monsters.
It is difficult but it's not impossible in any way or form, also you can get to level 99 easily.
We did get to play it a year before Switch owners though. Free is unreasonable but the new content as DLC for PS4 and PC should be an option. I'd pay for that for sure.
See that looks great.Then get it on PC.

Ugh. Why.
Too difficult. I had to walk back from that in the third act. It became just too difficult. Thankfully by then the normal difficulty is challlenging enough.
Looks like a really nice version for the people that waited. I wouldnt trade it for the pc at 1440p 60fps orcastrated tho. Game is ugly on the switch version though 2d mode fixes that issue
I agree. It doesn't feel unreasonable to pay the extra money for it. I would rather pay a fraction of the full price than buy the Switch version but I will if I have to :)
I don't think people are necessarily intending to make this about the platforms. It's Square Enix that is rightfully being criticised the most here.
Sorry, but Nintendo console owners never got as unjustifiably shafted as with the DQXI example with any other console than the Wii U, but even then it's a different situation since the Wii U was a flop and neither of the current gen systems are.

I am so happy the Switch version is getting the retro mode. That was one of the reasons I wanted the 3DS version localized, the other being I wanted to play Dragon Quest XI on the go.
Hopefully they patch in the music for ps4 and pc. Nobody should be subjected to that shitty MIDI music for 80 hours.
Nintendo seems to like DQ more than Square, for some odd reason. I mean, the only reason why we got DQ6 and 8 on the 3DS here in the west is because Nintendo localized it.
