Yea, this instantly turned this release from "meh, at some point cause I'm bitter about the canned 3DS version" to "TAKE MY MONEY"
Great, thanks. Either way is fine actually. I doubt I would ever do a second playthrough until years go by, so it would be cool to experience both.
no. the 3D graphics of the 3DS version is not present in the PS4/PC or the switch version. also the 3DS version had zones areas where you revisit areas from dragon quest 1 to 10, we don't know if those are present in this version or no.
yeah they said they're undecided, that really doesn't mean it's coming. they didn't even bother to patch the japanese PS4 version with the enhancements of the international version, and considering these are actual extra content that cost money (specially the licensing of the orchestral music) and also nintendo is handling the publishing of the game outside japan, i don't think they'll ever just give these content as a patch to the PC/PS4 players. paid DLC may be possible, but even that is pretty unlikely. i could see them releasing the definitive edition on ps4/pc as a separate release a year or so after the switch version.
yeah it's one of the best looking switch games so far imo. i'm very impressed. hopefully the resolution and fps hold up well.
my guess, it'll be paid DLC after launch so that it still is an incentive for those who haven't jumped in yet to get the switch version at full price
They haven't announced one yet, but given how much money Nintendo has been pouring into the promotion of the game already and how they're positioning it as a major release, I imagine it will get one. We shall see.
Yup, a patch would be pretty unprecedented they definitely want to sell you another version.
...the game will be 2 years old by the time the switch version comes, not 3. but yeah i agree that it was necessary for a 2 year old version to have extra content. i think people are missing the point if they think the west is the focus here. the series sells the most in japan, and by the time it comes it'll be a pretty old game so they need to sweeten the deal to be able to sell a full price port of a 2 year old game.
that would be great for the people who want to double dip, so they don't have to start all over if they were in the middle of a playthrough.
I keep seeing this massive visual downgrade repeated by a few people but I don't see it. Downgraded? Yes. Massive? I'm not sure you know the meaning of the word
huh, i'm not seeing any massive downgrade. obviously the game wasn't going to look as good as the pc/ps4 version, but it still looks great, and very similar to the other versions.
