Dragon Quest XI on Switch still needs many things worked out, can't say more now
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
They want the PS4 version to sell, but they're the ones that promised a switch version like 2 years before switch launched and delayed it without giving a release window.
Gaming media should give them the silent treatment once they're ready to show the Switch version.
they're gonna quietly cancel it
I've started to wonder if this is going to end up being a Japan only streaming thing ala RE7. I know it's a bit different because it's an MMO, but didn't SE use a similar model to get Dragon Quest X on tablets and 3DS?
I think it's probably more closely related to scaling down the assets and optimizing something designed for current gen hardware, to run on comparatively underpowered hardware.
It better be awesome, I'm still angry we're not getting the 3DS version, which seemed like the most interesting one.
Pretty much. I'd rather have it be a port of the 3DS version than the PS4 version.

Why not simply release the 3DS-version in the west? It's portable and a different game than the PS4 version. I would actually double-dip just for the nostalgia and 2D-graphics. No need for a probably 2 years late inferior Switch-version. Square-Enix makes so many strange decissions these days ...
That's not what most developers have said so far so I'd say that's probably not the case. Porting isn't just a matter of how difficult a platform is to work on; that can be a big issue sometimes (the PS3 is a good example), but the issues here are most likely stemming from elsewhere.
The game is done selling in japan and SE doesn't give a shit about western sales. SE is just SE'ing it up again
I hope they can get it working nicely. Dragon Quest XI's excellent, and I'd love for it to have as large an audience as possible. Shame they might have gotten a bit ahead of themselves with the announcement.
Dragon Quest XI Switch vs Final Fantasy VII Remake
The battle continues within the depths of Unreal Engine 4

They're totally not prioritizing the DQ XI portable version so people double dip later, right?
Ain't buying no Fortnite lockout machine or using a shitpit to buy and play DQ.
And don't even come with me with that 3DS nonsense.

I'm sure they care about the 10 people who will be buying DQ11 over Spider-Man in America.
Well, you guys are the one's who announced it. Now don't get upset because of fan backlash.
They can take as long as they want. Playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on Switch has taught me not to look elsewhere for my JRPGs. The TV-handheld combination is just too perfect. I don't care about resolution and performance either. Can play DQ11 on PC as well, but gonna wait for the Switch version.
A 3DS Port should be easy to port and sell but they choose a PS4 port that will probably ending selling less because it was first on two platforms.
PS4 day one, and if the Switch version is different enough I'll double dip.
I can see them adding exclusive content for Switch fans having to wait.

I doubt that's true. They wouldn't say no to their game smashing series records in the west like MHW.
People would say the exact opposite if they didn't though.
"They'd obviously been working on it before hand, they should have announced it so we could have made an informed decision", that kind of thing.
Publishers can't win with stuff like this. I'd favour transparency every time.
Or Destiny Forsaken... DQXI release date was really bad choose :(
I really doubt this. It's going to be as barebones a late port as possible if it even does come out, I really don't see Square putting in much extra resources and effort into developing bonus stuff.
If they wanted that, they should have made an online game
And/or paid for advertising like Capcom did
