Dragon Quest 11: New English Character Trailer and Descriptions

I think the voices in the earlier English videos may have sounded a little better than this new one, but I also know that voices always sound far worse when they are snipped out of context for a trailer like this, so I'm not too worried.
I also don't really care about name changes. Not actively defending the "decision" or whatever, it's really just a non-issue, personally.
Anyways I'm pretty excited for this.
Agree, I'm v glad Veronica isn't squeaky.

Can't wait
The voice acting seems to be on par with DQH stuff. Gives them a little bit of personality.
Can't wait for this game. Hard to believe it is like a month!

That isn't on "Yakuza Team", they had not to do with the localization process or anything. That's on Sega of America and Atlus USA who made that effort. Here you want to talk to is Square Enix Europe, not the team in Japan.
1. I own every Yakuza game that has hit the west, and I am a big fan of the series, but Yakuza games, other than the first one, don't get dubs.
2. Who are you to judge who has or has not good taste in games?
Damnit I'm so excited about this. It looks so damn bright and chipper just what the world needs.
If I had guess? Someone that doesn't understand the difference between localization and translation. Again.

You''re correct. Should've said Yakuza games instead of Yakuza team. But that doesn't really effect the point I was making, which is that DQ and Yakuza were the last long running, big budget AAA Japanese franchises that were getting second class treatment in the west, and now that the Yakuza series has gotten with the times, only DQ remains. And I'd argue it's even more frustrating for DQ because the early Yakuza games all bombed in the west whereas DQ8 and 9 were actually successful, and then they did jack shit to capitalize on that success.
It's not even up for debate. DQ is one of the most mishandled franchises in the industry.
Well, they did jackshit to capitalize on that success is kind of a misconception. The remakes of Dragon Quest came for DS and 3DS after the release on Japan, Dragon Quest Heroes I and II came as well, just like DQ Builders. The only ones that never came were DQ Monsters because the first one on DS bombed and DQX which is a MMORPG
This is one of those things that means very little to you without context, so saying it's a spoiler is what ends up actually spoiling people. If nobody knows to pay attention to it, then they won't, and they won't think anything of it.
Not a misconception at all. Releasing remakes on a different system several years later while stripping features from the games, releasing them out of order and giving them none of the marketing and hype that DQVIII got is not capitalizing on the success of something. The only company that did anything with DQ in the west on the DS was Nintendo, and it worked with DQIX. They advertised it heavily. They got Seth Green for the commercial. They drummed up hype. They made it seem like it was a big deal. And the shit sold.
The DQVII remake came, comically, almost 4 years after it's Japanese release, and I will give you that it's easily the least casual friendly DQ game in existence and not at all the game you want someone to have their first taste of DQ with.
I don't think the DQ Heroes could've sold well no matter what they did, given that it's a Musou spinoff with it's best asset being it's fan service. But it certainly didn't help that DQ Heroes 1 was the first DQ game of any kind to be released in 5 years. Passing on localizing a mainline entry in your series but then releasing the spinoffs is the special kind of agita only S-E America is capable of giving their fans.
And Builders actually sold decently.

Yeah that's why I put it in spoiler myself, but I still do think it's showing a bit too much. I know in my case the event in question would have had a lesser impact had I seen this image beforehand... Anyway, I'll stop posting here in fear someone opens a tag by accident.
The game looks fantastic and the voice acting is alright with me. The music is an obvious downgrade but I've grown so used to it sounding that why that I'd feel out of place if it were orchestrated.
Yo don't be talking shit about Lymle, you know she got a condition.

I quite like the voice acting. I also don't get how changing the names is that big of a deal. It's all part of localizing.
Cool, you aren't forced to have the main guy in your party.
Also cool, less grinding.
Prefer not to have that with DQ games though. It just always sounded weird to me to hear it in them.
Have you messed around with the Draconian Quest options yet? If so, can you simply raise the overall encounter difficulty, but leave everything else the same as the default difficulty?
Closest thing we're getting to a DQ8 sequel. Until someone mods the PC version with the CD music that is.
No I have not, and don't intend to until much later. I need to be pretty laser focused to even get a competent review in progress out by embargo. The game is obviously huge, and most of my day is spent writing and managing the site, not actually playing the games. I have to do that in my free time, so I'm just playing straight through (still poking around in every damn corner looking for items though).
If I mess around with any I'll let you know, but off the top of my head, I do believe that one of the options is to simply make encounters harder.
I'll check with PR and see if I can discuss those options in some detail. If so I'll report back.
that would be nice, i really want to see the new difficulty in action or at least preview....
+1. I heard the default difficulty is a bit on the easy side, even for DQ standards?
Thanks. No need to put any kind of priority on it, or even really consider it further though (unless you just happen to have it organically answered). I'm getting the game regardless, and I'm sure my question will be answered by more than one source before release.
From the portion of the japanes version that I've played(around 13 hours), it was ridiculous after 2-3 hours point.... at first I thought it wasn't that bad... but then boss die way too fast. I think it stay like this for 1 or 2 exception that I haven't reach. This was one of the main reason that i've stop...
Lmao, I dunno he seems pretty forgettable. Is he Torneko-clone ? If so I might change my mind when I played the game as Torneko is my favorite character in DQ4.
They don't sound amazing but it's not HORRIBLE like I was expecting from some reactions in here, I can't wait for this game.
I also want to hear about the added difficulty modes and if it's just a toggle.

Why would it though, unless you can really only afford that single game in September? Unless you're strictly speaking about advertising, then sure, no contest.
I'm getting both, but then I feel like I'm always starving for the games that I actually want to play anymore anyway.

Maybe. but I don't think two games could be targeting two more different audiences if they tried lol.
But seriously, I'll be buying both so maybe not as big a stretch as everyone thinks.
I'm only getting DQXI and I assume I'm not alone on this one, also on PC there's only one option so hopefully it does well there.
I need the Yakuza 0 effect with DQXI, first mainline game ever on Steam.

Playing the PS2 version of V right now, I couldn't disagree more. The orchestra music really adds a lot of punch and gravitas to scenes.
People are strangely picky when it comes to voice acting.
Pretty excited for this! I will miss out on it at launch, but I do want to support this franchise any way I can considering how it this getting localized at all feels like a small miracle. This is actually a rare case where I would love to see the mobile versions of the earlier games get released on more platforms. I would buy just about all of them.
Was there any reason given for changing Martina's name to Jade? Seems pointless to me.

The first two Dragon Quest games actually came to Japanese computers, although obviously they never got localizations. Still it is a super exciting time for the series, hope this does well on all platforms!
If anyone thinks that Veronica is just a usual JRPG moe loli, they will be ashamed of their words and deeds.
She's great.
I like how her design reminds me of older school lolis like Akazukin Chacha.
