Dragon Quest XI confirmed for western release

FUCK YES

SONY ALWAYS WINS

based

Horii is such a brilliant designer.
I wish he'd do other things again, but his dedication to reinventing and refining a single system is impressive in itself.

Squeenix is so fucked when he dies. Toriyama and Sugiyama will be huge blows, but Horii is irreplacable.

No orchestral soundtrack no buy.

This is what I was waiting for, now no need to import and have to google translate everything.

DOA in the west

>>385423398
You should have been DOA at birth.

Cool.

>2018
lel

Finally se comes to their senses.

>>385423692
If you want to play it in nip nong ching chong you can play it right now then

Pirate the 3Ds version

Buy the PS4 version

>>385422890
No DQX or Joker 3 no buy

>>385423787
Heading to Akihabara tomorrow to get my copy, can't wait :)

Any word on how long the game is? The mainline entires are getting bigger and bigger but I wouldn't mind something shorter either.

>>385424141
The game literally just launched a few minutes ago in Japan, no one has finished it yet let alone even played it for more than an hour.

>>385424179
So it's unlocked?

Time to get fbi going.

I wonder if this one will actually be worth finishing

>>385424141
IX was shorter than VIII, that was way shorter than VII.

>>385424360
The localization announcement happened at the same exact time that it unlocked in Japan.

>>385424441
>IX was shorter than 8
Maybe the main story, but there's no way you can feasible "finish" the game under 300 hours.

>>385424578
I'd hardly consider most of the postgame padding legit content.

>>385424915
Cause you didnt have friends to play it with :^)

nah I agree, just saying

>>385423898
They probably aren't even localizing the 3DS version.

HOLY SHIT IT'S REAL.
IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING BROS

>>385423276
Toriyama has a studio full of copycats when he dies nobody will notice
Sugiyama has a protegee and Im sure the classical music style in the will continue without him and could be even better
Agreed that when Horii dies is all over though.

>>385423692
You were a fool if you expected it this year. Be thankful it's next year.

>>385422890
I'll wait for the Switch version.

>>385422890
DQ 11, like the months we are going to wait for

>>385422890
The question is, which version will get brought over first

>>385423276
Sugiyama is too samey. I bet if he died they could easily find someone to copy him well enough.

>>385427961
Probably PS4.

>>385427961
obviously ps4 and switch

>played Dragon Quests 1, 2, 4-9, Builders, Heroes, Rocket Slime
>only get about six hours in to all of them and get bored
>like the music and art and writing but can't stand the gameplay

Feels bad being unable to get into such a beloved series. I've tried so hard, but failed.

>>385428923
What's your boggle?

>>385428923
The gameplay keeps getting better and better as more skills are unlocked and enemies get multiple turns/do new things in battle

>>385422890
is it coming to the PC or Vita?

>tfw own those and a xbox 360
>cant play niche shit like P5 or DQ despite hating qweebcrap but having a soft spot for this games because theyre fun
>shouldve gone with a ps3 and 3ds years ago

>>385422890
They will regret doing this, current western players are mostly petty teenagers who meme and whine about everything and that is already happening:
>>385423320
>>385423692
>>385424392

>>385429141
Vita never ever. Too weak

PC probably, but ported in the year 2021+ when everyone has moved on.

>>385429159
DQ was never popular in the west, Im sure they know what they are doing regarding sales projections

>>385427558
Toriyama's copycats are not nearly as good. Especially when it comes to imitating Toriyama's character design. Say what you will about Toriyama's humans, but his monsters and machines are always creative.

>tfw remember being a kid when DQ VII came out on the PS2 and buying it because it looked nice from the back cover and art style similar to DBZ
>get in game and play a bit
>for some reason dislike it, guess it was the art style ingame
>sold it

I may have done something bad

>>385429740
I was talking about his own studio, bird studio.
You think he is the one that personally designs the new monsters? I have my doubts about that.
He probably just designed the MC for DQ11

>>385423276
>>385427558
>>385429740
Didn't Horii say he's retiring after XI?
Or this will at least be his last DQ.

Dragon Quest was always the inferior Final Fantasy.

>>385429887
Never heard that before and google has nothing either

>>385429968
You got that backwards

>>385427820
Considering how far away the western release is, the Switch version will probably release here at the same time.

>>385430108
Imagine being privy to all the shit going on between nintendo sony and SE about DQ11 in the west

Is the guy who wears a mask making this one?

>>385427820
Same.

>2018
its persona 5 all over again

>>385430861
Spoilers you defeat the demon lord and save the world.
And meet Loto.

Never played a DQ before but all these threads about XI makes me want to. Worth starting from the beginning or not? Are they outdated and shit, or what?

>>385431245
>outdated shit

Please dont start and stay away from my series

>>385431423
>being this much of an autistic faggot
Calm down son

>>385431423
I asked if they are, didn't say they were you dumb cunt.

oh boy, western fans might get to play dq11 next summer
meanwhile its out fucking today in japan

>"i'm a dragon quest fan"
>doesn't know nip

lol?

>>385432753
What's to stop me from pirating the Japanese 3ds version?

>>385432753
Those accents aren't going to write themselvses!

>>385430605
Bane?

if they were smart they would make the ps4 version a western exclusive. aint no one here gonna buy the 3ds version here.

>>385433427
Fuck that, unless they add the 3DS exclusive quest to the PS4 version I'll skip it.
PS4 version is also held back by not being an action game.

>>385430032
>DQfag actually thinks this
Good joke.

>>385427820
>not buying all 3

>>385428923
1 and 2 are shorter than 6 hours. Especially 1.

I think its crazy how DQ1-3 are the only games they didn't port to 3DS meaning only 4-11 are playable on the system.
