So far, it seems to be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version.
But I think there might be a chance all the exclusive Dragon Quest XI S features might be available as payable DLC for the PC version a year after Dragon Quest XI S's release, considering Square Enix did say they're unsure if they're bringing the exclusive Dragon Quest XI S features to the PlayStation 4 and PC versions. And Square Enix did recently release Octopath Traveler on PC. I could be wrong though.

yeah i think pc version has a slightly higher chance than the ps4 version. all 3 platform holders care less about their exclusivity deals ending with content being released on pc.
Kind of a hilarious situation all around.
I remember when the Western release of DQXI on PS4 and PC got announced and people got laughed at for being mad that Square Enix were taking their sweet time with the Switch version.
Now here we are, almost a year later and the Switch is getting a ridiculously overhauled version. And now PS4 and PC players want the Switch-exclusive content.
Life really works in mysterious ways, my friends.

I was going to buy this regardless, but goddamn, the amount of new stuff and changes is very surprising. I love the glamour options especially; it was frustrating having to stick to a particular set for way longer than I should have just because I wanted the characters to look cool. 2D mode looks fantastic too.
I'm a bit conflicted about the forge and horse being available anywhere tho. The forge because the camping feature is great and this devalues a bit, but mostly because now you won't have any reason not to compulsively make new equipment as soon as you get materials, which can harm the pacing a lot, and the horse because it'll make wandering around even less dangerous but eh, that's not that big of an issue, I guess.

Yeah, i agree. And betting on the wrong platform in that regards doesnt necessarily mean that the outcome was bad in the end, both from a business and consumer perspective. Maybe that is also what mazi ment. I mean, if they had made it 3DS exclusive, they wouldnt have had the 3D/Unreal Engine 4 version (i know the 3DS version also has a 3D, version but not in the same scope as the UE4 version). If they didnt have that, the Switch version would be less compelling, in my opinon. Having that added to the Switch version including the 2D version makes it a great package. I wont be surprised if the Switch version can end up selling around 2 million. So even if this wasnt exactly initially planned, it might turn out for the best in the end.
Crazy to think this was the first game announced for the Switch, or NX at the time, all the way back in 2015, it also seems to be one of, if not the, best PS4 port to the system we've seen.
just FYI OP, the thing in the upper right hand corner of the box art is a thing you see throughout the game that plays a big role in the third act/postgame.
I think the only thing the game's really missing is a way to separate alternate outfits from the armor pieces they're anchored to. Some outfits look really cool but the stats end up being worse, which means you don't have a lot of choice if you're playing on hard mode(s).

On the other hand we would probably be talking about DQXII for Switch/PS4 now if DQXI had just been a 3DS game. Instead DQXII is probably another four years off.

it's definitely one of the best looking games on the system, and one of the best looking ps4 to switch ports
They actually did show a glamour option on stream today, so you can have your characters wear any special outfit regardless of stats.
I wonder how this will look in handheld mode. I'm not expecting much, but I was excited about how the game looked docked until they opened up the equipment menu and all the UI looked crisp while the character was supper muddy and soft. An understandable compromise but still a bummer...
But that got confirmed today! The treehouse footage shows how the player retains the DQ8 outfit-look while equipping a different set.

Very very unlikely that they would add all this content in a patch or as DLC for the older versions. A complete re-release years after the Switch release would be an option, but i dont think the game has sold good enough for SE to even consider this kind of re-release.
Good point. I wonder if DQ12 is already under developement. DQ11 for Switch might have been a side project while also working on DQ12, but i dont know.
Its more that since they didnt prioritise a 3DS at the beginning they lost out on more sales by not having a version out ealier, 3DS was in its twilight years when it finally released and had to fight with the PS4 version which from a casual onlooker looked better

I'm sorry but after the Tales of Arise reveal, I take nothing for granted from Japanese companies.
Everything about this sounds absolutely fabulous. I want it so bad.
I hope we get the vocal drama content in the western version too, even if it's only a text translation.

Let's wait to see how DQ11s performs first.
DQ12 is still a good 3-4 years away so it's likely that PS5 will be the target platform and it will later be ported to the Switch successor.

is this confirmed? i saw dual language confirmed elsewhere but no mention of the Gorgeous Edition requirement for that. and related, is there anywhere to import the Gorgeous Edition? amazon.co.jp says they won't ship to my country (USA)
nice. I think that is my favorite location in the game. Such an extremely comfy spot with some really charming characters.A new character was made for the L'Academie de Notre Maitre les Medailles.

Welp
Aside from the very slightly worse visuals that's pretty much everything you could ever ask for from DQXI.
Just watched it not too long ago, looks great!
I love when games have this feature

With all these wonderful additions I really wonder if there's any chance of the Switch getting the DQ 1-3 ports. That's the ONLY thing I can think of that I still want from DQ11. Such an amazing game!
there is no gorgeous edition in the west so i assume the jpn audio will be included as free dlc for the west version if its not included on cart in the west
From the live streams, performance looks very good (30 FPS but solid).
As for Res...I wouldn't expect much as base PS4 is already 900p and it looks fairly low res based on the streams. I wouldn't be shocked if this was a 720p docked/540ishp handheld situation but there is no confirmation yet.

It's cool that Toriyama is experimenting more with his female designs.
