Sméagol Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Just want to post in its own thread, that this will most likely be my first Dragon Quest. I have never been interested in them before, but this one looks too good to pass up. 1

Julius Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 The trailer from the Japanese Direct showcased some more of the 16-bit art style, as well as some more Switch gameplay. 1

Hero-of-Time Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I'm so hyped to play through this again, especially with me going through the the DS games at the moment. Looking at the screenshots below, it will be like i'm still playing the DS games if I choose to use the 2D mode. Here's a list of features that are in this version. Quote - "super fast" battle speed - japanese VA - party members follow you on the field - you can call your horse from anywhere on the field - killing enemies while on the horse earns you XP - the 2D mode from the 3DS version (you can play the whole game like a SNES RPG, and can toggle between 2D and 3D mid-game) - orchestrated music, can switch back to MIDI (it's still not clear whether everything is orchestrated or not, but field and battle themes are confirmed) - new story content, focusing on each of the party members - the retro areas from the 3DS version are back, you get to revisit areas from each of the past 10 dragon quest games - more marriage options (you can choose to "live with" male characters as well) - there's going to be an audio drama DLC coming after launch 3
Ike Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Interesting note is that the 3DS and console versions locations aren't 1:1 so they've probably done additional work to make it work here. Happy the retro areas are returning, was worried they wouldn't bring them over.
Grazza Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 Can't believe it's ten years since the last mainline (offline) Dragon Quest!

S.C.G Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 I don't know if @Ike had seen this yet or not so... 1

Ike Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Just seen on the Treehouse stream they've added Nose for Treasure back.

Tim B Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 They said at the Gamescom presentation that the demo is up to 10 hours long! 1
Hero-of-Time Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 I forgot how annoying Gemma is! "Crikey!" "Fight, fight and fight some more!" There's definitely a graphical downgrade over the PS4 version but this was expected. I think those playing the game for the first time will be more than happy with it. Apparently the game looks better when played undocked but I've yet to try it in that mode. I wonder if there are any level caps/limitations in the demo? I'd quite happily grind away so I'm OP for when the game is released. I see you can already download the free DLC for the game.

Bit blurry, but perfectly serviceable.
