Awesome news.
I'd love for the 3DS version to also get a release, but I'm already really happy.
(Watch as 428 releases on the same date)

Or you know, it means buy the versions that are coming out or you'll be missing out.
There's nothing in this game visually that's beyond the Switch. These sorts of art styles are the ones which will have the least amount of noticeable differences outside of resolution / framerate when being down ported to Switch.
The game looks great and the voice acting is especially impressive. Happy to wait to be able to take it on the go. I hope people enjoy it come September!
Yeah all those years old third party Switch ports are really struggling!...
I'm not sure why people are surprised about the Switch news, it's not even out in Japan on the Switch yet. No way it was coming here at the same time as PS4.
Yeah, I mean I can say why and it seemed liked a good enough idea given how long we've known about it for.
It's this "much later" part that's raising my eyebrow. Makes me wonder when we'll actually get an official update/footage.
How did people like this one? I've never played a DQ game but that trailer was great. I see Famitsu gave it a perfect score.
Dumb question, but by the looks of it, it's sticking to traditional turn based combat?
I don't really mind, but going through those games has become kind of a slow burn.

You sure you aren't just salty about the delayed release? You seem like you're way overreacting.
Apparently no 3DS version will be localized. I know it wouldn't sell gangbusters but considering the localization has to be done, wouldn't a 3DS version at least be profitable? What am I missing here?
If nothing else why not throw it up on the eShop?

Oh, so angles of attack aren't a thing even? I figured it had to be for some reason...
It's far closer to 8 than 9, that's for sure. More focused on overarching story than vignettes too, unlike 7.
The story is fun. I love the cast. One of the best in the franchise for sure, if not THE best.
It's easy for most of the game but the second half is harder and there's some good challenge near the end.
I don't think that's the case since it stayed on the best seller section on the eShop for a while and is still considerably high after release. I wouldn't be surprised if it has good legs.
Thanks for info!
XI will be my entry into the DQ universe. I'll most likely buy it around release :)
That's exactly the point. The Switch version was announced before the Switch itself, on AUGUST 2016. We haven't seen a single screenshot.
technically no, Capcom has no plans(or so they say) Square enix is at least saying it coming to the west
SE almost never publishes their games on Nintendo platforms.
lol
But yeah would be a bummer to not get the 3DS version.
It could be the version they port to mobile though ....that's quite likely thinking about it.
Oh man so happy for the Steam release, disappointment in the lack of a orchestrated ost on console but mods will pick up the slack on pc hopefully.
Lol at that ''much later'' for the switch version.

No but seriously, what is wrong with the sound quality? It literally sounds like 8 bit music, extremely simplistic and completely out of place with the level of visuals that we're looking at. I already had a much better experience muting the gameplay trailer and put on DQVIII's overworld theme.
First time a mainline DQ has been on PC in the west, yeah.
Any DQ game, Heroes and Builders has it beat by a couple years.
In Japan they have DQ 10 on PC.
Yeah, it's regular old turn-based combat. It essentially has two display modes to help jazz things up for people that want a bit more activity while inputting commands, but it is ultimately a Dragon Quest-ass Dragon Quest game.
No way the Switch would be able to hold its own on DQ11 visually.
I know they won't cancel because of company politics, but this will sell like garbage - that's my point. They had years to try to make this version and didn't, at this point I just feel SE is wasting money in developing it.
Legs are getting cut off this year with Builders 2 and I don't think "eshop" numbers are good enough for a big retail release. Just look at Japan's numbers, the game won't hit 100k retail in its biggest region, it's just bad.
