Was shown off in Square Enix's Dragon Quest XI panel.

There will be a surprise regarding the title coming January 1st.

One of the new additions for the Switch version is the option to marry other characters in the ending.

Looks... pretty good? I think there were some muddy background textures (haven't played XI yet), but you'll hardly notice them in handheld mode unless handheld is downgraded much more.

They added Japanese voice acting or is that just for the trailer?

Cool also seems like it has the elusive orchestrated soundtrack as well. But honestly, it's a too little too late situation for me. By the time this comes out in the states I'll have played the ps4 version prob at least year before lol

If that's actually Switch footage then it looks great. It looks a lot sharper than games like Breath of the Wild.

The game is going to look like the PS4 version but blurry going by other PS4 to Switch ports but it's impossible to tell how blurry since those were all cutscenes and the quality of capture may not be great.

One of the only games I'll double dip for, but who knows when it'll come out here. Even the Japanese version didn't get an exact release date.

The title track was orchestrated in the original version too, but one can dream.

They added it with the Switch version.
That's cool. I wonder if it'll make its way over to the versions already released in the west

I've been eyeing the PC version since it released... If they added voice acting and the orchestrated compositions, I'm glad I waited for this version. The good clean artstyle makes the graphics scale really well.
You're not getting the orchestrated music on anything but a modded PC copy

That looks very close to the PS4 version. The only differences I noticed were lower polygon character modelling and a bit duller lighting.

The english version has always had voice acting, and I'm skeptical that Sugiyama would allow the orchestrated score in the game

are these features exclusive to switch or do us suckers who bought the PS4 version get the japanese VA options lol

The features are meant to be making up for the game being two years later so I imagine they'll be exclusive but who knows...

Wait for the inevitable PS5 version when they're desperate to make DQXI the best selling DQ ever.

Hope this gets announced at the January direct with Nintendo publishing. Trailer looks good.

I'm sure people will somehow take the Japanese VA from the Switch version and mod it into the PC one

i dunno if an exclusive japanese dub option segmented away from the customers who bought the game on PS4(and just now in the US) is the best way to make a lag time up to anyone when they should have been day and date with each other in the first place :P

Looks like they opted to reduce the texture and model quality of the world in order to mostly maintain the character models and textures. That's the right call imo, the character and enemy models are some of the best things in DQ11 graphically.

Looking at the trailer i dont see anything downgraded enough to deter any casual on-looker

Well, that's a disappointment, as someone who has the PC version...

What are the exclusive features?

Will you still care about it in 2020?

Because that's probably when it's coming west.

funny thing is this is almost certainly running at a max of 720p considering DQ11 on PS4 is 900p, which is lower than BotW, they just seem to have done a really really good job cleaning up the IQ at 720p.

Considering this is the first trailer we've had of the switch version, I'd say we have to wait for more features to reveal themselves. Currently the only exclusive feature is full Japanese VO.

Yeah, that's meaningless to me, unfortunately.

This is also just an average DQ to me too (I hate how many assets are re-used in the game's 2nd half), so it's going to take something really special for me to get on board.

Day 1 for me. Never played it yet and have been waiting 1000 something days for this
