Thats why.

In Dragon Quest X, there was some skills that required positioning, characters could block damage if they stood in the way of skills (thinking tanking) and you could push enemies. Don't know if DQXI has these things.

As it has been explained in every thread before this, Yuji Horii and his staff debated having voices. But they came to the conclusion that voice acting wouldn't improve the game more than just having the usual text and text noises. They also would have had to finalize all the story in pre production, whereas Yuji Horii prefers to edit story and cutscenes as they develop the game. Sometimes even weeks before it releases.

Also, of the four DQ games that had voice acting in Japan, none of them saw a significant sales increase from voices. In fact, all of them sold less than usual.

More than likely the western localization will add in voices, since SquareEnix localization director has said in interviews he believes voice acting and dialects are the key to its success in the west. Sales have proven time and time again that its marketing and not dialects that sells games, but he's a stubborn idiot who doesn't know anything about his job.

>>385554739

Its on the PS4, idiot. With an entirely unique engine running at 1080p. It's also been announced for the Switch. Why do idiots who don't even follow Dragon Quest consistently post in these threads?

DQXI specifically looks terrible without voices. The cutscenes have sound effects, motion-captured animation, extremely high fidelity graphics and mouth movement - it creates a realistic scene that is then immediately made horribly uncanny when there is no voice coming out of the characters' mouths.

Just go and watch some footage of cutscenes from the game on Youtube, you'll see for yourself. The characters look like they are miming.

I have watched the videos. And I don't have a problem with it. If you played Dragon Quest VIII with the voices turned off, it was the same. And that's how Dragon Quest VIII was with the original Japanese release.

After trying to play DQVIII with the voices on, they were ruining the game so much I had to turn them off. Sometimes its better to just skip voice acting altogether, as it's just another factor that can hurt your game.

It ain't perfect, but I can't go back to turn-based combat. There's just no point. It needs to evolve, not necessarily just convert to Action-RPG, but something.

I cut Lost Odyssey some slack because it actually had an interesting story to tell. I'm still waiting for DQ to have one. Also LO didn't look like goose droppings on a sidewalk, speaking of DQXI.

>>385555595
>If you played Dragon Quest VIII with the voices turned off, it was the same
But it's not. You're not appreciating the fact that as the games' visuals and animation push more towards realism and high fidelity, the lack of voice acting becomes more and more jarring.

Imagine watching a really high-budget anime with great art and animation, but when the characters speak no sound comes out, they just flap their lips silently and subtitles show up. That's what DQXI is like.

If every game had action based combat, then it would get old. I'm specifically looking forward to DQXI because I'm tired of ARPGs. Sometimes you need a break. Just like some days you want to play a platformer and other days you want to play a simulation game.

>>385556025

>pushing realism
What the fuck? It's fucking Akira Toriyama designs. And the motion is so 'high fidelity' it looks unrealistic. A DQ game shouldn't look realistic. People don't move and react to things like characters in Dragon Quest do.

>Imagine watching a really high-budget anime with great art and animation, but when the characters speak no sound comes out
But this is a false equivalency. Anime is a medium of TV/Film. Story and visuals are not only the focus, but all the medium has. Video games have a lot more going on. They can tell a story through visuals combined with physical interaction from the player. Which is exactly what Dragon Quest is doing and has always done. This is actually one of the many things that sets Dragon Quest apart from Final Fantasy.

>>385556057

This is a really bad point to emphasize after referencing Final Fantasy.

>>385554457
Who cares
Why the fuck does this game have such an old ass sounding OST? Is it midi?

>>385555840

>I cut Lost Odyssey some slack because it actually had an interesting story to tell. I'm still waiting for DQ to have one.
Dragon Quest III, IV, V, VII and VIII all have great stories. You probably just don't like the way the story is told, since it is stretched over many hours and you have to seek it out.

Your problem is you're equating better graphics with realism. A common mistake, especially with western gamers. A game can have extremely good graphics, but not be true to life. Or even have characters with realistic human proportions.

But what I said is still true. And because the game focuses so much on dialogue is another reason voice acting can hurt it if done incorrectly. So going with the old method that has worked for Dragon Quest for 30 years is the safer bet.

And yet it's not a safer bet, because it looks horrible in DQXI. What works for a NES game does not automatically work for a PS4 game.

Incidentally, I find it strange that the rabid fanboys are happy to accept standard advancements in graphics quality in line with the rest of the industry, but REEEEEE about other industry-standard features like voice acting because it's "not traditional". If you care so much about tradition then why are you even playing PS4 games? Stick with 8-bit RPGs, I'm sure there are plenty you haven't played yet.

This is your personal opinion, not a fact. Millions of people in Japan will prefer Dragon Quest to keep to its roots. They're going to do what would appeal more to the Japanese fans, not an angry western gamer.

And even then, they probably will add in voices for the western release.

>What works for a NES game does not automatically work for a PS4 game.
But the same thing was used in DQX, which is also on PS4 and a dozen other modern consoles.

>Incidentally, I find it strange that the rabid fanboys are happy to accept standard advancements in graphics quality in line with the rest of the industry, but REEEEEE about other industry-standard features like voice acting because it's "not traditional".

Your problem is you think only your views are valid. DQXI is making huge advancements in some areas but sticking to tradition in others. This is a good thing when the team knows what the fans want. And no team understands this better than Armor Project. If you hate it so much, go play Final Fantasy XV. Where the team went out of their way to change everything, including things that pissed off FF fans.

>But the same thing was used in DQX
DQX is a Wii game at its core, it is on par with DQVIII in terms of technology and production quality. The point I have been making is that the much higher production values of XI make the lack of voice acting stick out a lot more and feel like an awkward absence.

>This is a good thing when the team knows what the fans want
You talk about "the fans" as though they are a homogeneous entity and that you speak on their behalf with total accuracy. In reality, we won't know how the Japanese fans feel about the lack of voice acting in XI until feedback starts to surface. And no, pre-release opinion polling does not count, that is all speculative based on standalone concepts, not a reaction to the game as a holistic experience.

It isn't upsetting Japanese fans at all based on the reaction so far. There's also dozens of posts in this very thread of people saying they don't care about a lack of voice acting or are even happy about it. If anyone has a blind opinion, it's you.

>even though nobody had an issue with the voice acting in DQ8.
The PS2 release of Dragon Quest VIII didn't have voice acting. They only got it 8 years later with the 3DS remake. And that game is the lowest selling DQ remake yet. Not exactly a sign that Japan cares about voice acting. But I guess a casual observer who doesn't even do a casual google check is more creditable than a blind DQ fanboy who actually pays attention to the series.

>>385561893
Don't you understand? Whatever this one fanboy wants is what "the fans" want. His opinion is definitive. Dragon Quest fans wait for his decrees so that they know what is acceptable for the franchise and what is off-limits.

The ps2 release of VIII did have voice acting though, the 3DS remake added more npcs voiced and changed Jessicas voice actor.

>So they won't like the shiny new graphics then?
This is another false equivalency. But it's also kind of funny since Dragon Quest XI is on 3DS with the option to use classic SNES 2D graphics instead of full 3D animations. So yes, some people are going to buy the 3DS version specifically for the nostalgia of older graphics. This is actually a genius move on Yuji Horii's part as it means the same game is going to appeal to all groups of fans.

>DQX is a Wii game at its core, it is on par with DQVIII in terms of technology and production quality. The point I have been making is that the much higher production values of XI make the lack of voice acting stick out a lot more and feel like an awkward absence.
And the point I made long ago is that while graphics have increased dramatically, the actual way you interact with characters is the same as it was in DQVIII and X. Its only in the cutscenes where the lack of voice acting is noticeable. Though even then, DQX also had this.

>You talk about "the fans" as though they are a homogeneous entity and that you speak on their behalf with total accuracy. In reality, we won't know how the Japanese fans feel about the lack of voice acting in XI until feedback starts to surface.
True. But the same can be said of the opposite. You can't claim that no voices was a mistake until you have evidence of that. So don't come crying to me if Japan doesn't throw a tantrum over the lack of voices like you are.

Also, we can say is that people aren't spamming hate on amazon reviews like they did during the release of DQIX and X.

The old synth music is far more jarring than voice acting desu.

Dragon Quest X basically is Dragon Quest IX with all the improvements DQIX should have. Just never ever in the west. But you never know. They might port or remake it down the line. I'd be fine with it being remade as just a single player game without wifi multiplayer. And fix alchemy.

It's not SE being cheap. Its a combination of Yuji Horii wanting to have control over altering the story right up to release and them thinking fans would prefer the traditional bleeps and bloops over full voice acting.

>>385561886

I did Dhoulmagus without Multiheal once in the PS2 game, it took a lot of Alchemy abuse and a bit of luck (and I basically still had Multiheal on Angelo because of that bow that heals the whole party when you use it as an item, it's just weaker than actual Multiheal)

>>385563098
It won't come out in the west for 6+ months. Play Dragon Quest 8 on PS2 for a good intro to the franchise.

Since this game seems to be a massive nostalgia throwback to the NES games, if not all the games, I'd say you should play the other games in the series first. That being said, it probably would be a great game by itself. Kind of like Zelda BotW is a throwback to Zelda 1, but is perfectly enjoyable as a stand alone game.

You don't need multiheal at all for that fight, the first time i did the game i honestly needed it, but the fourth time i actually finished the game lvl 40 and i didn't get multiheal until way after dhoulmagus

>>385555401
Did it once and it's not worth bothering with again until something I want comes out that I can't play. I doubt DQ11 falls into that category though.

>>385563569
Currently it's 60:40% according to some retailers

>>385563569
Not to mention Japan doesn't give a fuck about the PS4, much less consoles in general. Japan only cares about handhelds.

>>385563328

Yeah, there's half a dozen ways to beat Dhoulmagus without grinding to multiheal. People just don't bother to learn what all the skills and items do. You can beat him just using buffs and careful healing.

>>385563632
I can't get past the first dungeon.

I'm probably supposed to use items or something. It's kind of confusing for a beginner.

>>385543067
Once it comes over here, yeah

>>385561341
I like 3 a lot more but 2 is really fun.

>>385563740
You can't fight the boss ? or you're getting demolished in the dungeon ? a good level to do that dungeon is 5 if that can help you

the monsters in the PS4 version are amazing, i can't stop laughing at their intro animations when a battle starts

that fucking crow carrying the skull

>>385563740

Explore the whole town and you get tons of free equipment and items. Put medicinal herbs on your party members (they can be used in battle as items). Make sure the hero has heal (he gets it at level 3) and use it in battle as well. You find a free copper sword in the dungeon right before the boss.

When fighting mobs, efficiency is more important than dealing damage. Have both characters focus on the same enemy. Always go for the weaker enemy first (slimes, moles) so that they get less turns to attack.

Problem is that i'm sure the "majority" wants kingdom farts 3, we dq fans are a small minority, and it's sad because it's obviously the better one

Oh no.

>>385554457
I'm surprised people actually expected voice acting. I only got into the series recently and I didn't expect voice acting. Is it that big a deal?

>>385565469
I don't think it's fair to compare KH and DQ as they're both vastly different games. If FF was still an RPG and not a babymode action game I'd say it would be the better comparison.

>>385565581
For fans, nah we don't care, only people that care are the casual jrpg audience that expects vvoice acting everywhere, or people than only played the localized version of 8 and think it's standard

>>385565691
Of course but i wasn't trying to say it as "direct competitor" but as KH being some sort of priority for SE in the west

>>385565691
>>385565469
>>385565287
But I want KH AND DQ.

>>385565469

If Dragon Quest games got the same level of marketing that Kingdom Hearts games got, you might be surprised. After a generation or so, DQ would probably surpass KH. But one series gets basically no marketing and the other has the whole weight of SquareEnix and Disney behind it.

Just play it. If you don't like it, then move onto III. I personally like the extra challenge the game has as battles are harder than any other game in the series and you have to pay more attention to NPC dialogue. And no game feels grindy after you get through II.

>>385570717
According to what I've heard, II is the hardest game in the series, so I think you'd be better off just moving on to III.

I play Theathrythm FF every day. FF just remixes the same battle theme in each game. It gets annoying honestly. DQ has different battle themes.

FF music is stronger in certain areas. Especially how Uematsu wrote the songs specifically for MIDI so they sound better in MIDI. But when it comes to the orchestrated versions, Sugiyama's works are vastly superior. I also don't ever feel compelled to skip a song on a DQ OST. While I skip half the songs on most FF OSTs. The main themes and core songs in FF games are amazing. Then the other half are really forgettable. Every song in DQ sounds like a core theme, because they are. DQ has less songs so each one gets more focus.

But I am. It's bretty good so far.

It's a strange Japanese preference for the originals. But they've put the orchestrated versions in a lot of recent games.

Listen to the battle theme in FFI-VI. It's all the same song played in different ways. FFVII was the first game to change up the battle theme.

>>385574313
Just because they have the same opening and bass doesn't make it the same song.

>>385574180

Honestly, this. I know it's a beloved, staple franchise of the genre, and I've played most major series' very thoroughly...
But every character and enemy design I've seen of DQ just makes me think it's purely kiddie trash.
Is it not?
Gels with smiles on their faces and bug-eyes like children's drawings; every enemy resembles some kind of caricature drawn by a 4 year old on construction paper. Does the game maintain that overly childish aesthetic throughout, start to end, without cease?
How can this not grate on everyone who isn't a 10 year old terribly after awhile?

this is a viewpoint that can only be held by someone under 18
Dragon quest games have usually been average or bellow average on a graphics level compared to its peers, with an above average design and style to compensate. They have never been a main pull of the series for people whove been playing since it looked like

I just think they like it like they like anime. It just doesn't work for me. It feels bland and I hate their fucking foreheads. But obviously lots of people like it so whatever.

Just finished this one and I can say with full honesty it was my least favorite in the entire series and I don't understand the hype behind it.

>The length makes the entire game feel like a chore

>The characters are easily forgotten because there is so fucking many of them

>The only thing that made the game fun was classes, which if done right completely breaks the game.

By the way,

>Veronica and Senya are twin sisters except veronica is older but also a loli because lol magic curse
Yuji Horii knows exactly what he was doing when coming up with these characters.

No denying that

I wanted to play DQ builders but its only on ps4, fuck buying a whole console just for that shit.

Put it on the pc where it should be, japs.

Now you're just splitting hairs. They're still variations of the battle theme from FF1. Next you're gonna tell me the prelude theme repeated in most FF games isn't the same song because one game uses a harp and another uses violins.

It is not a sin for them to reuse the same song. That appeals to players nostalgia. But it is weird for that guy above to use the example of FF music being better specifically because of the battle themes.

>>385574693
>Fucking LOL
Flippin' LEL

>>385574776
No I wouldn't argue against the preludes because the melodies are the same.

>>385574608
>I don't understand the hype behind i

It's one, maybe two autists trying to viral this game between /v/ and /vr/. They show up in every DQ thread, and even try to hijack non-DQ threads (e.g. FF threads) to push their shitty agenda.

DQ5 is honestly one of the worst games in the series.

>>385574614
yeah because the thousand years old loli is something new on the industry so we can pass pedoshit as something normal

>>385566828
>The 3DS version of 8 is a downgrade compared to PS2

Only in visuals. It adds party members, lets you see the monsters rather than just having random encounters, and the Japanese version edits the annoying ugly reverb out of the orchestral music.

>>385574817
Effin LMAO

>>385574829

The melodies in the battle themes are also the same. They alter the instruments and change the tempo, but the melody is still there in FFI-VI.

>>385574846

Another way to look at it is, a bunch of angry anti shills are invading DQ threads. Like you. But thanks for continuing to bump the thread.

>>385574879

You know nothing.

>>385574776
>hey're still variations of the battle theme from FF1.

No they aren't. Where are you getting this? They're totally different. The only thing the same in the classic battle themes is that they have the same two second riff before the music actually starts.

>It is not a sin for them to reuse the same song.

But they didn't. You're just crazy.

No it isn't. You need to take your meds.

After FF XV, I had to replay FF V, VI and IX as part of my rehabilitation and recuperation.

God damn, fucking Tales Of has better combat. XV is like the Tales of Zesteria of Final Fantasy.

We're talking about a fucking PS2 game that got a poorly-judged downgrade for the 3DS, stop being retarded.

Martina is kind of like your adopted sister; she's really the princess of the kingdom that goes after you (which is under the influence of the demon lord)

DQ1 added direction sensitive sprites for ALL of it's NPCs and a saving system.
In the japanese version when you selected talk you also had to select a direction.
