I'm ok with my PS4 version honestly. The music isn't a big deal to me. Just got to gallopolis and fighting a lot of silver slimes and leveling up good. Plus the graphics are absolutely beautiful.
I'm already level 25 with my party and 20 hours in. It's a great, fantastic game whichever platform you play it on.
Probably my favorite rpg of this generation.

I feel it's more like "This is how you actually gain a fanbase". This port would be destined to die if it was direct, but now it has a genuine chance to not only succeed but actually surpass the sales of the other versions.
Well P4 was on the Ps2 and would need another disc release anyway for new content. Here it could be patched into either version
But I generally agree. I don't see how people didn't expect new features in a port of a 2 year old game
They are a console generation apart, not 6 months. It doesn't even compare.
I got the japanese 3ds/ps4 collector bundle. Then I got the euro ps4 version.
Guess I'm triple dipping.

Alright.
Persona 3 FES then.
Or Kingdom Hearts FInal Mix.
Or Final Fantasy X/X-2/XII international(Square did this a lot didn't they?)
Honestly Nintendo probably paid extra so there's be more incentive to buy it on Switch. I admit if I'd bought it already I might be upset. But I haven't so I feel like the target audience for this.
I'm curious how much this sells, if Nintendo's doing the marketing I could see it end up selling better than the PS4 version.
That would make for some really interesting threads here, haha.
XII International was indeed BS. The QOL improvements that didn't transfer over were substantial. But that was also at a time when patches and DLC pipelines weren't as standardized. Same for P3 FES. Not familiar with Final Mix.
I'm not too bothered as I'm (still) playing it on PC so I have the orchestrated soundtrack going anyway and there's enough game there that I doubt I'll miss the extra story stuff. But on PS4, especially in Japan, players got a bit shafted.
Edit: omg the other party members now follow you? This is actually something I really wanted....
SQUAAAAAAAARE

From what I've seen this game has some reasonably sizable environments. Assuming that's correct, how exactly does the 2D version handle that? Is everything made significantly smaller so the world is more akin to roaming around in an NES/SNES RPG? Or is it, like, a relatively vast landscape that happens to look like DQ3? lol
You can make the thread right now. There's no way the Switch version doesn't outsell the PS4 version. Its presence in a Direct is already more exposure than Square Enix gave the PS4/PC version.
I will be fuming. And thinking of getting this version. I want to be the man -- I want to be Sylvando.
There are very few 100+ hour JRPGs I'd replay but this is one of them. I put over 200 hours into the PS4 version but I'm already excited to finally get to play the 2D version, plus the other additions are right up my alley! By the time it comes out I'll probably be ready for the replay.
i mean that's super possible and very likely. it's not like the ps4 version set any chart on fire.
I can see it easily outselling the ps4 version in the west and falling far short of the ps4 version in Japan, especially since the 3ds version is the best selling version there.

I wonder how my people know this is a feature taken straight from the 3DS version?
It is crazy how much content the game has now. Played on PC, definitely one of the best RPGs I have played. Gotta admit I got a bit burned out at the end of the game (played Draconian mode) and unfortunately there are repeated dungeons and bosses for endgame.
I wouldn't be surprised this extra story reuses too much stuff. Buying this again on the Switch to support the series and encourage my sister to play it. 2D mode will be played in the far future.

I don't see why not since it was also in the PC version. I'd assume it's the exact same game + new additions.
Speaking of the 3DS version. I wonder if they'll include those special sidequests where you visit other DQ games complete with the associated graphics (from the original DQ1 NES graphics to low poly DQ9 DS graphics). I really hope so, that really intrigued me when I first heard about it.
Oh ok, like that, i understand.
I should have been more precise in my previous post and said "supporting the views" instead of just "supporting". Its true that buying something will give some type of indirectly economic support, but that doesnt mean that one is supporting the views of everyone whos behind a product of course.
The reason why i was wondering if thats what you guys was saying, it was because i was wondering if there was more to the point. I think i understand what your point is, that its silly to boycot the game for such a reason and not boycot it earlier because of Sugiyama's views instead, right? If so, i can see that, but i was just wondering if there were more to the point. It seems to me that you were trying to shame that one guy for supporting the game earlier because he didnt want to boycot the game for a different reason, so why not quote all the other people in this thread who are saying they're going to buy/support this game as well? Dont you think its better to boycot the game for the "wrong" reason instead of supporting it at all in that case?
I agree that it seems kinda excessive to boycot a whole game serie just because of a different sound track, but i think this is a point that can be on its own regardless of Sugiyama's views.

Game looked nice, but I really don't like the look of the main(?) character that looks like a copy of Android 17/Future Trunks. Feels weird.
I've never played a Drahon Quest game but always liked the visuals. Played Blue Dragon for X360 which I asume is much like Dragon Quest. Will get this one, probably not day one and wait for $40.
I love that they have included 2D mode. So 3D on the TV and 2D on handheld for battery. Have they showed if you can switch 2D->3D on the fly? Or how does it work?

If they decided to include the sprite mode, they'll likely include most if not all the things that differentiated the 3DS version from the PS4 version. I really hope Nintendo decides to localize the 3DS version to give 3DS a proper send off though. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the chibi look. The 2D sprite mode looked right at home on 3DS too.
