I don't care that we didn't get X
>>386366398
Have any other triple A JRPG bombed as hard as DQ? Fucking FF XIV fucked it over and came all over it´s face. DQ is dead long live FF.
>>386366509
what?
If only we didn't have another DQXI thread!
>>386366398
Isn't she supposed to be an ally? Why does she turn evil? Sorry, haven't played the series.
>>386366509
Are you confusing DQ with some other game?
>>386366691
She gets fucked silly by the demon lord and betrays your party
>>386366509
Are you genuinely autistic?
>>386366509
Are FFags really this deluded?
>>386366398
just watched a gameplay video, what a fucking boring game i fell asleep
>the music
sounds like an 8 year old freeware synth program, is this going in the final game or is it a placeholder? I mean grinding to your own tunes is a rpg staple but goddamn
>>386366398
I don't see the appeal.
Watching lenghty repetitive animations and fades to white every time you attack or do something is just silly and takes me out of the game.
>>386366398
I'm banned.
>>386367121
The video is showing off a collaboration of team attacks.
>>386367094
You don't know DQ if you think it'll ever have a soundtrack better than PS1 era midi.
All the DQ x FF crossover games use FF music during promo except for a new arrangement of the DQ theme.
>>386366398
Gameplay looks pretty boring, but that artstyle is killer. I would love to play an action game with that kind of style.
>>386367375
I don't know the first thing about DQ, I'm imagining it's 3d disgaea: lots of characters, lots of grind
I don't speak hiroshima so no interest until now
>>386367883
It's just a JRPG series most notable for being one of the oldest JRPG series. It's also run by the laziest team in existence.
What's her name /v/?
Visuals look great but I'd only play it if they switch to real-time combat. And they won't because I'm not their audience.
>>386368128

Dragon Quest Heroes
>Make game featuring slutty loli
>It sells well in Japan
woah...
>>386366792
Sounds familiar.
>>386368075
Same as FF then
>>386368215
I've heard PS4 version has ATB
Which I hate so I'm pkaying the 3DS version
But you might like it better
>>386368389
>slutty loli
>Veronicashe's not a loli
>>386366509
I'd actually say that DQ is bigger than FF there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svx2_6-NP5Y
If the regular PS4 can only do 900p, what will the Switch version do?
>>386368075
>It's also run by the laziest team in existence
What? They make top-tier games every time, unlike FF, how is that lazy?
>>386366398
>read more at
seriously nobody even bothers to call out actual marketers and blog ads anymore
>>386368465
Putting massive tits on an 11 year old doesnt change anything m8.
>>386368590
It's easy to make a top tier game when you've literally been making the same game since the 80s.
>>386368557
720p probably. Which is fine by me since I prefer playing DQ games handheld.
>>386368650
>I haven't played the game but I'm going to shitpost anyway
Just another day on /v/
I never played a single DQ game
>>386368678
They're different, actually
I'm going to sound like a nintentard but they really aren't rehashes, each has their own unique mechanics.
>>386368557
720p if they just do a cheap fast port by justr disabling some post processing effects to get the framerate up.
I'd prefer if they saw a little more effort and tweaked the art style to look more like DQ8 for the switch version.
>>386368650
I put it in a spoiler tag for a reason.
>>386366398
IT'S NOT FAIR
>>386367375
>You don't know DQ if you think it'll ever have a soundtrack better than PS1 era midi.
Dragon Quest VIII says what?
>>386368849
In DQV you travel to become a king and your party is first your father, then your wife and kids. It's the grandest adventure in teh whole genre. Go play it.
>>386368868
DQ is super sentai of videogames.
They give them a slightly different gimmick and new suits but ultimately it's the same show every year with the same stories like the body swap episode or curry.
FF has always been the Rider to DQs sentai. People even talk about FF the same way people talk about Showa, Heisei, and post-Decade Heisei.15 is the Wizard and Ghost of FF at the same time.
I've never played a Dragon Quest gameI can read Japanese
which one would be a good start?
>>386366725
I need this game.
This dragon looks so cute, its a shame he is clearly the enemy.
>>386368690
>>386368882
Nah the power gap is way larger. You'll be glad if it's even 540p in the PS4's level of quality.
>>386369436
How do Orcs in the game look?
>>386369552
like pigs
>>386366725
dat jiggle
>>386369103
Damn FFXV is a failure of a game. Be glad that DQ has someone like Horii around to SE from ruining DQ aswell. If Sakaguchi was around, I'll promise you he'd never let things get this bad.
>>386369590
Good.
>>386369492
The fuck? Is the Vita really more powerful?
do you guys think they're really adding VAing for the NA release?
>>386369746
Switch isn't really that powerful at all. It's still just a handheld at the end of the day with a console gimmick. It can't compare at all to PS4 or even Xbone. If it did, they'd release DQ on Switch aswell. But the hardware requires vast downgrades across the board to get it in a playable state.
>>386368849
>>386369356
Start with DQVIII if you want the true Dragon Quest adventure feel.
Which DQ games should I play before XI comes out?
>>386368449
PS4 actually has both. You can choose turn-based (traditional) or Free-move turn-based (Neptunia). It doesn't have instanced real-time (Tales) or real-time (FFXIV)
>>386369865
I'd imagine that they're prioritizing translating the game so they can get it out as soon as possible due to the huge amount of text, so adding voice acting likely isn't high on their list.
>>386369889
They have literally already said that DQ11 is coming out on Switch.
is the mandarin dress in dq8 worth it? i've actually given up on finding the last mini medal because im just too fucking lazy to look at every single place again, and guides are inconsistent
Im so mad the loli is fake
>>386368342
Well, action-adventure preferably. But I might check that out, thanks.
>>386369746
Well the vita version runs at even lower res than the switch version.
If BotW can run on the switch as well as it does then it only comes down to dev laziness if the port runs bad. Obviously it's gonna look worse/different but that's a given.
>>386370101
I honestly would not mind if they kept the blips and bloops. I love that shit so much.
>>386366398
dumb gooks paying to look at white people
>>386370191
it was literally spoiled in the opening moments of the trailer, and her character description says how she "hates being treated like a child".

Moar
>>386370449
So? Im still mad.
>>386370439
Something wrong?
Does DQ Heroes require much Japanese knowledge? Thinking of getting it on the Switch
>>386370584
>>386370556
Welp another thread ruined
>>386370568
k go kick rocks, pedo.
>>386370695
It's not worth it, the port is horrible.
>>386370693
kill yourself freak
>>386370584
I need more.
>>386370695
It's in English.
Can you romance the girls of your party?
>>386369746
No, but the Vita port has been developed a lot better and also runs at a lower resolution than the Switch port, Vita was a pretty powerful machine for its time but it can't compete with the Switch, obviously.
It's just that devs don't really care about the Switch, really, that's all there is to it.
never played Dragon Quest before, where should I start?
>>386371005
4 or 8.
>>386370818
Why isn't it on the english eshop then? Is SQEX retarded? Should I even be asking that?
>>386370926
Toriyama is a genius.
>>386371005
5 or 8
4 if you don't mind mobile
>>386370854game won't let you romance best girl, becauseshe's your sister
enjoy this milquetoast childhood friend trope!
>>386371081
Why would the PS4 version be on Nintendo's shop?
>>386371005
3, 4, 5, and 8 are the best ones
1 and 9 are okay
2 is very archaic and frustrating but you might like it
6 and 7 can suck my knob
10 is never ever
11 seems cool from the 30 minutes i've played the japanese version on my 3ds
>>386371206
I don't own any sonyshit, nig.
>>386371206
Oh that's what you meant. I don't own a PS4. I have a switch and a PC. I would go PC but I like handhelds.

Turn based needs to go it's boring as shit on top of killing anything resembling a gameplay.

Oh fuck off.
I learned Japanese for nothing.
>>386368592
because it automatically includes that when you copy & paste and not everyone is as autistic as you
>>386371843
Go play one of the 999 million ARPGs that release and leave us patricians to our rare gems.
What build are YOU going for Silvia? He is the only one I'm not sure what to put my points on.
>>386371843
good real-time >> good turn-based > bad turn-based >> bad real-time
Too many western games have shitty real-time combat to the point where it ruins the game.
>>386371919
Maybe one day the ps4 will get hacked.
>inb4 some br monkeys already did it
Sure thing.
>>386371538
Too bad it's DQ, which is the bottom of the barrel of turn based games.
>>386371843
(You) need to go, Anon.
>>386371878
Got any clean rips of the music, specifically the normal battle theme?
Sony won.
whens this coming to pc?
>>386372139
Great bait, have a reply.
Thread is good proof that you can't have a good DQ thread in the afternoon hours.
>>386372456
I love this thread.
>>386371843
Why are you in a thread about a turn based game if you hate it so much?
>>386372306
>pointing out objective facts is bait
I seriously hope you don't think Japs believe that DQ has engrossing gameplay.
>>386372581
For the sexy dragon posting.
>>386371919
Once you factor in postage and getting screwed by customs you're basically paying the same price as physical.
>>386372697
Might as well go physical then.
>>386372697
I don't care about digital vs physical.
I just dont want to pay over $60.
>>386372456
Are you delusional? You can't have a good DQ thread in /v/ at any time of the day. Especially now that 99.9% of the thread is not playing the game because they can't and have absolutely nothing to talk about except for shiposting.
Any post wanting to have a conversation with people who are playing the game just passes by unnoticed like >>386372028
There threads are just for shitposting. Go away and return after the localization is released if you want to talk about the game.
>>386366398
I hope it comes to PC eventually. I don't feel like buying a PS4 just for DQ, and Gravity Rush.
>>386372174No, just this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLKggF1mjyMalso I like this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkaoOO4mx5A
>>386372028
SO far I'm just dumping it into swords since the Hero is using 2 handed, Kamyu is using daggers and I recently started running into some metal slimes so I wanted metal slash.
>>386372890
Its not out here yet bud. Nobody is playing it.
>>386372797
ok poorfag
>>386370032
Another playable character or just story related alone?
>>386372947
Is SE taking down music rips are the nips just being slow in ripping the music?
Also, what does Japan think of the game in general?

>>386369746
The Vita version doesn't have the graphical fidelity that the Switch version has. Switch version is somewhere inbetween Vita and PS4
>>386372947
Why does Dragon Quest always nail the battle themes so perfectly?
>>386373353
And it runs like shit.
>>386373058
That is why I said most people here can't play it.
>>386373390
I think its kinda shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4PCOAJ80lo is an actually battle theme.
>>386366398
>>386373553
Woah there
>>386373347
You don't get rich by paying $90 for video games.
>>386370032
So this is a pretty massive spoiler btw
>>386373553
But does she do anal?
when will the Switch version be released?
>>386373636
90 is nothing bnut pocket money kid.
>>386373719
>wanting to play the inferior version
Why though? DQ11 is a gorgeous game on the PS4. Who would want to downgrade the graphics any
>>386373319
honestly happy about this,i thought he looked so cool and this webm shows he has a bit of a sillier personality than I first imagined, that's awesome
>>386373491
Oh come on you don't think something like that fits for a normal battle in something like Dragon Quest? Or anything battle in any Dragon Quest for that matter.
>>386373793
Then buy it for me.
>>386373636
Spoken like a true poorfag
>>386371919
Just buy it and do a charge back. Who cares if your Japanese account gets banned, just don't go online until you're done playing
>>386366398
Does the game really look like that?
>>386373802
I don't have a PS4 and don't want one
>>386373853
Now you're getting somewhere, start begging your mom and you might get it.
>>386373926
Indeed it does.
>>386373926
Yes.
>>386374067
Well that's disappointing, I thought it was supposed to look pretty.
>>386373903
You can't buy a Japanese game with Paypal, can you?
Who is /bestboy/ and why is it Sylvia?
>>386374180
You need to make a Japanese paypal account. But you can register foreign cards to it, so if you can get that far, you're good

This, nintendo is saving dragon quest once again.
>>386374394
you better stop
>>386374394
Huh, I was wondering why it looked so off to me. Doesn't help that the textures look like some kind of soft rubber and plastic either.
>>386374358
~.^
>>386374067
>>386374071
Wow it looks much better than the most recent final fantasy game. They've done a good job here.
>>386374394
I sorta agree.
I think it looks great but they're really something very off about it, I think it may be how it looks kinda plasticity or something.
I can't pinpoint what aspect it is exactly that's makes it so uncanny but it's not a perfect style.
>>386374271
Too risky. I don't want my US account banned too.
I havent played a DQ game other than the musou one but this looks amazing.
>>386374394
I'm playing on the 3ds and I think the ps4 version looks amazing. Feels good to not have console warrior mentality.
>>386374394
If I wasn't on my work laptop right now I would post a confused anime girl with "Looks fake and lacks charm compared to the 3DS version." in green text, but I cant do that right no. So for now just know you're an idiot.
>>386374798

>>386374868
>>386374881
Has nothing to do with consolewars. I'm watching the PS4 version and I'm not even playing it on 3ds, it just looks strange. He's probably referring to the fact that the 3ds characters are deformed chibi unlike PS4 where they're a strange mix of realistic and anime.
>>386374394
>PS4 version looks like one of those fan made UE4 tech demo's you see on Youtube. Looks fake and lacks charm compared to the 3DS version.
Whatever you say, tiger
>>386375039
This.
What the fuck is going on. 3DS version gives me glaucoma.
>>386375148
That doesn't really help your point man
>>386375162
It's the only vesrion with heart.
>>386375148
>>386375162
Don't get me wrong, I think the 3DS has a bit of charm to it, especially reminding me of IX but with some improvements, but fuck, been seeing so much hate for the PS4 version in these threads from a vocal few. It's transparent af.
>>386375148
If you had taken any of those pics you would know the ps4 picture is upscaled while the 3ds pic has the real resolution. Far from me to say they would compete if the ps4 picture was in the actual gameplay resolution, but you are a probably a retard who wasn't around when the pic was made and have no idea what you are posting.
>>386372947what does arasuji mean
>>386366398
is there an art book or something for all the monsters in dragon quest or something?
>>386375265
You're right, you can barely see the 3DS version
Here's a better comparison
>>386375734
Now this oozes with soul and passion.
>>386375734
Literally perfect. Look at all of that charm. COMFY!
If you nintendofags are so upset, why not share footage of the 3DS games and screenshots? Actually contribute to a thread instead of crossing your arms and harumphing about how the PS4 version "has no heart".
You're coming off as those fags who spam MHW threads about how it's not canon or a how it's not a real game for true fans.
>>386375734
The 3ds resolution is irrelevant, it doesn't change the fact that the PS4 version looks odd
>>386369746
No, it's considerably weaker it's just that the version on Vita wasn't rushed.
>>386375430
PS4pro is upscaled from 1700p or something. The UI is native 4K. It's still loads higher than 1080p at any rate

There's so much fucking charm in this photo it's blurring out the house on the right. Incredible.
Don't console warriors realize that regardless of the side they fight for, they are fucking ridiculous and anyone with an ounce of maturity thinks they are all annoying as fuck?
How the fuck does a person get to the point of being a console warrior? I can't imagine how fucked up his life must have been for him to end up in this state.

>Feels good to not have console warrior mentality.
But you do.
>>386375734
So this... is the power... of charm...
I think I realize why the PS4 version looks so uncanny, it's because it's looks flat a lot of the time like in this pic >>386374563
Not saying it looks worse than the 3DS but I think that's why it looks so off.
Maybe having full 3D doesn't work with the artstyle, like how Goku's hair is designed to look the same no matter the angle or something.
>>386376147
But the 3ds version is miles better.
What's the appeal of these games, why is Japan so feverishly in love with them?
From the outside, they look like your painfully generic RPG... maybe that's the appeal? Like, a 'western' RPG, but made by Japan?
>>386375914
Get off your high horse. From the point of view of someone who is actually playing the game instead of being here just to shitpost and nothing else, you are just the same as them. If you even differentiate console war fags and call them "nintendofags" or "ps4wtv" instead of just realizing they are all the same plague then you are one of them.
>>386376416
Nostalgia and adventure.
>>386376416
It was like the original generic JRPG before it was generic, I suppose.
>>386376308
Going to agree to disagree, I think they've done a damn good job of adapting Toriyama's signature style.
Granted, I'd love for them to go this way like they do with the cinematics (pic related) and give actual hair texture but I think for in-game it works.
>>386376206
How is a person playing the game on 3ds who thinks the game on the ps4 looks great have a console warrior mentality?
Do you even think before you post or has your brain died a long time ago?
>>386375734

Whoa. Vintage meme.
I wonder how much of the 3million was people buying the PS4+3ds bundle, and whether those are counted as separate or two sales.
>>386376750
And it will always be that way until it releaseon PC
>>386376730
So you don't know how, you just wanted to shipost for the sake of shitposting. You must be proud.
>>386376473
The problem is you can't call the PS4 version beautiful without some butthurt 3DS faggot going "nuh uh". Everyone should be able to objectively realize that while they're the same game, the PS4 version obviously looks better. I think it adds to the experience too (though this is just my opinion)

>>386371878
Game looks kino af
>>386366398
Is this game going to have voice acting in the English version???
I watched a few videos of it on youtube and the art style looks amazing, but the lack of voice acting ruined the game for me.
Its fucking 2017, use VA in games.
If you have the 3DS version why would you even play with the disgusting chibi shit 3D instead of the sprites anyway?
Either play PS4 or 3DS with sprites, but the 3D on 3DS looks absolutely fucking terrible.

literally, SE, dump it in the trash. Don't litter our soil with this.
>>386377298
it's very possible. Dragon Quest VIII was not voice acted in Japan because fans apparently prefer it (nostalgia thing). But VIII obviously got voice acting for its localization.
>>386376978
It's called not sacrificing your charming and love-made art style for useless bells and whistles.
>Came to what it looked like a comfy DQ thread
>Consolewarfagging, falseflaggers, (You) whores
You fucking niggers and manchildren disgust me to no end.
>>386376868
You point finger at the nintendo party, the nintendo party point their finger at you and then there you go. Console war. Clearly you've picked a side already.
>The problem is you can't call the PS4 version beautiful without some butthurt 3DS faggot
The problem is people like you who point fingers at the other party. You are even worse than full blown console warriors because you deny you are part of the problem at the same time you are pointing your finger at the "nintendofags". At least the other console warriors are fully aware they are complete shitposters.
I don't give a fuck if you are holding a blue fag and throwing feces at the guy holding the red flag or the other way around, you are both monkeys.
Something about the music in DQXI is very annoying, and i never had problems with the audio DQ1-6

>>386377546
Well I can't say the game looks beautiful when that would include the 3DS version and that does not represent my opinion

That doesn't make it any less unacceptable

Is this much more of a massive spoiler than I originally thought? She just joined my party and from what I understandshe's the princess of another kingdom and not actually your sister
>>386377534
This could have been avoided if SE announced the game for PC, Xbone and Vita for good measure so that they're would be no complaints.
>>386377157
They sold about 50/50 which is in truth a massive triumph for PS4 since consoles are dead in Japan.
DQXI looks very easy
>>386377985
In japan there are only 5 millions
>>386377985
It only sold 1 million on PS4, 2 million is from 3ds

That's why these threads are so shit. Most of you can't even play the fucking game so you got nothing to talk about, therefore you just default to throwing shit around like apes in the jungle.
Blame the shitters who raised you for failing so dam hard at their job.
>>386378464
Literally yes
>>386377985
3M for a JRPG Was the peak in japan back in the PS1 era too so this is really good.

Stay mad lmao.
Quick tell me what I should play right now as my first Dragon Quest game.
>>386378571
May make sense sinceI see no familial resemblance from either the Queen nor the King. I haven't finished the game myself but just got the general spoiler of her being the young girl with you. Still, I don't see the game letting you have romantic interest in one another, sadly.
>>386378824
4, 5 or 8
>>386378824
5 or 8
>>386378824
VIII
Is there no way to get this damn game at a respectable price?
The most I can find it ""discounted"" is $72.
>>386378824
V or VIII are the go-to's I think. I personally loved VI but it's not much of a favorite. but the cast of characters is what appealed to me the most.
IX is fun as hell, but you lack the personality of party members since you can customize and create all of them which balances it out for me, personally.
>>386374067
Who did the butt bump better:
DQ thot or Princess Thotstool?
>>386366509
Trying this hard.
>>386379003
>IX is fun as hell
I'm playing IX right now and I disagree strenuously.
It's an empty husk of a game haunted by dead multiplayer features
>>386378614
Does it have belly?
>>386378851
Ah alright. I thought it was a late game twist or something that had much more meaning than I originally thought but I guess that spoiler was just people assuming incorrectly from the opening cutscene.
So western release when?
>>386378993Nippon games are expensive.
>>386378880
>>386378885
>>386378923
>>386379003
Which one has the better waifus? 5 or 8?
>>386379047
i like brunettes/raven-haired monk girls more so Thotina wins my heart.
>>386379186
They're usually not this expensive. And the yen is weak too.
>>386378667
Does she even join the party and have a role in the story or does she exist just to be the bland childhood friend romance?
>>386378824
Depends on what you want. Personally, I'd recommend V. I liked the concept of starting the game as a kid traveling with your dad and by the end of the game you're the dad traveling with your own family.
>>386379213
5 has you choose between 3 women to marry and you have kids with her.
>>386379283She dies about an hour in
>>386366509
>>386366398
It's the current best selling game in Japan
By that it's the new record for the most sales on PS4.
The record was 970,000 Final Fantasy XV (PS4) in Japan
Now DQXI has sold over a million on PS4.
The only game in Japan to sell a million on PS4 to date.
>>386379213
5 has the best girl in the seriessecond best now that XI is out
>>386379213
5 gives you 3 different waifus you can get in the DS version
>>386379331
So is Bianca the canon wife? Also, does the V hero even have a canon name?
>>386379437
A man of refined taste, like myself.
>>386379470
>is Bianca the canon wife?
The game itself makes this painfully obvious given how much it guilts you for not marrying her
>>386379578
>>386379470
japan's boner for blonde haired bitches is always disappointing to me.
>>386366398
Jesus christ this bitch must be extremely hot to have managed to given 3 million people raging boners.
>>386379470
>So is Bianca the canon wife
I don't think she's the "canon" wife as you originally had two choices with a third one with the DS remake. She's the most promoted one and seems to be the more popular one too. And if you don't pick her it feels like the game guilt trips you.
>>386379675
It's almost as if blonde hair is an exoticism in homogenous asian countries
>>386379857

Bit of an understatement when they originally killed her father if you didn't marry her.

Why
>>386379437
Great taste friend. I chose her my second play through and came to like her. It's cute how she warms up to the hero eventually if you marry her. Bianca is still my number one DQ waifu though.
>>386380065
They also make it obvious that the hero still likes her. If you bring Tuppence when visit her he says something that I forgot and the Hero proceeds to give him a death glare.
Can we get the dragon poster back
>>386379083
I agree, and this comes from someone who beat 9.
The plot is also garbage. The last boss was some angry angel who became a demon because of a fucking misunderstanding.
He destroys heaven and when you finally beat his demon self, his lover comes and tells him "it's not what you think!" and then he gets redeemed in the worst way possible, and lives happily ever after, after almost destroying the world
Also magic sucks in this game, well offensive magic at least. I ended up making my main guy a mage, worst decision ever.
My female blank slate warrior ended up being too good, loved the falcon blade.
But man the vocation system felt so grindy
Hell, even my monk did more damage than my spells did

I've started playing DQ3 for the first time, and my party is the Hero, thief, warrior, and mage. So far it's been a little difficult, but I think I can manage with this party. How fucked am I later on in the game?

I was honestly expecting them to wait until 2018 to announce its localization, for 2019. It still sucks Japan will get it a full year before us.

Wait, you can't get married in this game?
>>386382159
Unfortunate colors though, at least for this one.

Does it get better after the snowy area or should I just drop it?
Also apparently Monsters 3 is better? Translation when?
>>386383931
>Japan loves to do this kind of shit. They make best girls but then don't make them available to romance.
This keeps them pure and unsullied for the basement dwellers to fantasize over.
They don't want even the MC to defile their precious waifus.
>>386383931
How long do I have to wait before I can jerk it to doujins with her in them
>>386384074
>Does it get better after the snowy area
It's more or less the same throughout the game. You just keep on recruiting more monsters and fuse them to make stronger ones so you don't get your shit pushed in by stronger enemies and bosses.
>>386383931
God bless their depraved doujins at least.
>>386384207
Probably December?
Summer Comiket is far too soon for anyone to play the game and pump out a doujin really.

Anyone have a picture ofSenya's haircut near the end of the game? She has the most bland design to me, and just want to see if it's improved or not
>>386384760
She's definitely the fan favorite so it's almost certain.

>>386369356
>I can read Japanese
Then I really recommend playing all of them in Japanese unless you're not as bothered by shitty localizations as I am. As for your question, I started with the first one and went from there, but if you don't want to do that, start with III, IV, V, or VIII.
>>386385714
Bianca is best though.
>>386386186
I respectfully disagree with your wrong opinion.
>>386375148
Damn, that looks comfy.
>>386386186
Debora is the best.
>>386371919
Yeah, I have no idea why PSN prices are so much worse than physical prices. Still, if you can take slow shipping, you can get it for 70ish from Yes Asia. I'll either do that or wait for the English version to come out; can probably buy the English version on PSN, switch the system language to Japanese, and play the Japanese version like other digital games.
>>386386186

Does this work for a lot of games? I know the Crash bandicoot game allowed this but I didn't think it was a common thing.
>>386386657
This. Though I always find it funny how literally nobody likes Nera.
>>386386984
I'm actually not sure, I discovered it by accident when I bought FF VII on the Japanese PSN and it started up in English. Works for it and FF XII and Crash Bandicoot, but I haven't tried it with any other digital games. I just assumed that it was common. I'm hoping that's the case with DQ XI, but then with the why shit goes with English DQ, it wouldn't surprise me if S-E went out of their way to prevent that.
>>386366398

They're fun games. That and nostalgia and fame.
Why does Japan still make the rest of the world wait a year or longer for releases?
The game doesnt even have voices, how fucking long could it take to make an English version
>>386376416
I'd take a generic JRPG over whatever the fuck FFXV was supposed to be.
>>386387618
It takes 12 months minimum to add in all of the hilarious award winning accents.

I usually see new games at 70ish dollars, which is what DQ XI was on Amazon when I checked a few days ago.
>>386379564
>>386379437
Can anyone explain why this archaic turn based game with shit tier graphics/art style, no voice acting, and like 20 other games that are the exact same in the series is such a popular title in Japan?
I genuinely don't understand it.
>>386388948
Wait a few years 'til your balls drop and then develop some taste.
>>386381961
As far as I know, no one knows how long they've been working on it. They just said that they've already working on it when it was announced. Of course, that could mean they'd been working on it for ten minutes. In any case, all those required accents and such will make it take longer than need be.
>>386388948
The games are of consistent quality. If you like one of them then you'll like the next one when it's released in a few years.
Debora from DQV is surprisingly popular. I thought people generally didn't like her. I do know that literally nobody likes Nera because she's so fucking bland.
>Tfw it's hard to post in Dragon Quest games because of the girls
>>386389250I like Nera.
>>386385176
One of Boobsies outfits is Jessicas old cencored NA outfit
>>386371878
A true hero's dance
>>386389250
Debora's dialogue is all pretty funny and it's cute when she finally starts to show obvious affection towards the main character.
>>386388948
Because turn-based combat is the best combat, voice acting is unnecessary, the art style and monsters are iconic and appealing, and the games are top-quality. It's popular in Japan for all of those reasons as well as the fact that it doesn't wildly change things from game to game, unlike what caused Final Fantasy's downfall.
>>386389325
Why though? She's the most bland and the most useless as a party member.
>>386389691
2hufags are intimately familiar with bland girls
>>386388948
Consistent quality my friend.
Get some fucking taste already.
>>386388948
It's comfort gaming and nostalgia. Lots of people who played it as kids and don't really play games anymore jump into the new game. Unlike FF which switches it up with every installment, to varying results, DQ is always the same basic thing and the same quality. Go on an adventure around the world and beat the bad guy with turnbased combat.
>>386389518
>cencored NA outfit
What? It was censored in Japan.
>>386389518
>>386390864
its not censored, it is literally changed because of the Olympics casing cero to be stricter to be more foreigner friendly. Rules on hentai has changed to but as for dragon quest what happened was the series is always all ages aka the E rating for japan, in order to keep that rating with the new guidlines some outfits needed to be changed
>>386391038
Yeah, yeah, I know it was changed because CERO has become pure cancer. I still call it censorship, but whatever.
>>386381672
You won't have the healing output to handle double breath attacks from bosses like orochi or baramos
>>386391297

>>386384558
Who's this semon demon
>>386391449
Thief is the obvious choice. Warrior, mage and priest is the most basic of basic parties.
>>386366398
Who is this semen demon?
>>386391575
But my thief has been a fucking monster with great defense. Are Thieves not that useful in DQ3?
>>386391172
its technically not censorship though but yeah all it what ever as long as you do not think it is
>>386391942
It's literally censorship.
Censoring things to fit new ratings standards is still censorship.
>>386366949
if your still an FF fan than that goes without saying.
Soon guys.

Well shit, I tried it with some other games and it didn't work with but a few of them. I guess the first three I tried it with just happened to be games that did that. I'll download DQ Heroes II and see if it works, but it's still not a good indicator since not even all Final Fantasy games seem to support it.

That "misunderstanding" got him locked up in the Gittish Empire where he was tortured and sapped for power for a long time.
Destroying heaven wasn't even that big of a deal because Celeste fixed everything.

You can always lower the resolution in the Switch to 720p or 480p to improve framerate

god stayed dead tho

I don't know, I think they will, the amount of time it takes to translate all that you can spend dubbing voice over, and the Japanese are probably planning on a voice version down the line and can use the English version as a base to put that in, so they would probably encourage the NA publisher to include it.

How's the 3ds version? I don't have a ps4.
>>386373641
It's Dragon Quest, the story is always the same and the people who play it don't care if they spoil it either cause no one cares about spoiling in Japan
>>386392830
This site is going down the shitter.
>>386392857
It's literally THE definitive version of the game, don't let /v/ tell you otherwise. If you want heart, charm, and the true meaning of DQ, you get the 3DS version.

3ds version is the only version coming to the west

Sort of. He was just split into pieces.
It's probably for the best because he was going to destroy humanity anyway.
>>386392873
Considering he's left out of every single bit of promotional material it's pretty certain they wanted to keep it a secret.

I thought the meme was that only the ps2 version is getting brought over?

>>386393213
No, it's the Switch version but I can see why you'd get the two confused.
>>386393283
I'll try but there's really no hope for /v/ anymore.

He lost pretty much all his mental faculty after Dragon Ball ended, he hasn't had to design the monsters seriously in ages, the new monster designers do all his work for him.

It's more of a lack of optimization on the software side of things rather than the Switcg being weak in terms of hardware. Devs received the Switch kits a year before launch, so that means KT only had a year to port BOTH Heroes games not just the second one. Proof of 3rd parties recieving the dev kits so late is because of the DQXI Switch developement starting very late compared to the PS4 and 3DS. In short, DQH1+2 is a rushed port because they wanted the Switch to DQ near launch.
FE Musou and DQH3 will definately run better than the DQH1+2 port as FE Musou is also meant to run on a 3DS, and DQH3 will have more than just less than a year for dev time on the Switch.

Probably because a mod is lurking the thread and knows that you're ban evading. Just fucking appeal the ban so you don't derail the thread with this shit fag.
>>386396308
You can't appeal short bans. Anyone who's been here longer than a month should know that. And dont white knight for bad moderation.
