the game recently got a date and several new trailers. for those, visit here:
today, there was another japanese live stream for the definitive edition, there's a lot of new stuff so i thought a sperate thread was needed. i'm posting info posted on the twitter account.
here's my previous list of new features in the definitive edition:
1. new trailer:
2. cover art, there's something new in the upper right corner? the cover is the same for the western version.
3. there's a voice drama DLC, 4 to 5 hours in length. included with the special edition, separate purchase for the normal edition. many stories about different characters, including stories about their past. possible to display the character the story is talking about?
4. another bit of DLC included in the special edition lets you change the appearance of two characters to be like DQ8, as well as the ability to change the field music tracks to those of DQ8!
5. for japanese version, english VA is DLC included with the special edition. text is still japanese only. western versions get japanese and english VA, no dlc.
6. hardware bundle
7. new monsters to ride
8. super fast battle speed
9. photo mode!
10. retro areas from DQ 1 to 10 return form the 3DS version. previously, the areas from DQ 1 to 6 were 2D, and the areas from DQ 7 to 10 were 3D. in this version, all areas are 2D.
11. revival spell! you can carry over your progress from the 3DS or PS4 version and continue from were you left off in those versions, using a code. probably japan-only.
12. a look at the hero in DQ8 costume
13. an area from DQ8 translated to pixel art
14. long list of additions/improvements in the definitive edition
15. you can do blacksmithing from anywhere on the field, can also buy missing material on the spot
16. more photo mode screens
17. slime pro controller
woof, that was exhausting. i haven't played the game and i'm using twitter translations, let me know if there's anything wrong.
today, there was another japanese live stream for the definitive edition, there's a lot of new stuff so i thought a sperate thread was needed. i'm posting info posted on the twitter account.
here's my previous list of new features in the definitive edition:
- "super fast" battle speed
- japanese VA
- party members follow you on the field
- you can call your horse from anywhere on the field
- killing enemies while on the horse earns you XP
- the 2D mode from the 3DS version (you can play the whole game like a SNES RPG, and can toggle between 2D and 3D mid-game)
- fully orchestrated music, can switch back to MIDI
- new story content, focusing on each of the party members
- more monsters to ride
- the retro areas from the 3DS version are back, you get to revisit areas from each of the past 10 dragon quest games
- more marriage options (you can choose to "live with" male characters as well)
- there's going to be an audio drama DLC coming after launch
