[Chance Hale]

[mrmickfran]

Sooo glad that I held off on getting it for PS4

 

[cw_sasuke]

I forgive your SE - it was worth the wait.

 

[ohlawd]

What's the full title

 

[Future Gazer]

If Square doesn't update the other versions with the orchestral music they can seriously eat shit.

 

[sir_crocodile]

it has everything lol. This is why I waited

 

[TheNotoriousAFG]

lmaooooo i am so excited, can't wait to play for the first time

 

[chrisypoo]

Isn't the composer a Japanese war crime denier and an unrepentant bigot?

 

[FormatCompatible]

Everything is here. Also dual audio.

 

[Vertpin]

Well then, so much for the PS4 copy I got for Christmas. lol...

 

[Deleted member 12555]

Japanese VO and 2d mode, holy shit. Well worth the wait.

 

[Einbroch]

Cute way to say it's exclusive, just add an S!

No way that PS4 doesn't get a GOTY edition this winter with all the features.

Or a $20 patch huehue.

[Hippopuncher12]

Wasn't going to buy this version but since it has the 2D stuff I will end up getting it at some point.

Alright, a derail this early!

 

[Drakken]

Aaaand with those additions I'll likely be purchasing this. Nice surprise for sure.

 

[Deleted member 11370]

Oh. I bought this game for PS4. Lame that all the improvements are not going to roll back to that version.

 

[Khrno]

2D mode from the 3DS version.

This is the reason why I'm double dipping.

 

[Sean]

I'm done with Dragon Quest if some of that shit isn't a free update for other versions. Fuck that bullshit. Making us suffer through that shitty midi and then fixing it in a new SKU. Christ.

 

[Giolon]

God damn you, Square.

 

[Eolz]

Nintendo got the best version.
Good choice to wait, everything I wanted and more.

Very much so yes.

 

[AztecComplex]

Envy is killing me iI didnt get to play this version first. The downgrade is very much noticeable though. I'll keep telling myself that to feel better.

They did say orchestrated music only "field and battle". So I think that means no towns or dungeon.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Hot damn, I'm in.

why not both sometime in 2020 or 2021? And don't forget PC too, Squenix wouldn't give up the chance for more dlc

 

[Voke]

Why did I get this on PS4

 

[Knight in Shining Armani]

It's fucking bullshit that they withheld the orchestral music at initial launch. Not paying a dime for this or any sequel without orchestral music.

This shit better be patched into the PS4/PC version.

 

[Devilgunman]

Never felt like getting fcked this hard before. Just, wow. I already platinumed the PS4 version so I don't know if I'm getting the Switch version.

 

[ZeroX]

Well I'm not going to buy the PS4 version anymore, that's kind of a brutal way to cut the legs off that version

 

[Twonny]

Real talk, I am so ready to spend 140 hours again on this game. :)

Because we are impatient T_T

 

[Fularu]

I was so right to wait for the Switch version

2D mode here I come

 

[Camjo-Z]

I can't believe they included 2D mode and orchestral OST. Double dipping so hard.

 

[Advc]

Looks awesome. This is gonna be my first Dragon Quest game.

 

[Deleted member 9746]

Wig.

 

[decoyplatypus]

I'd given up hope on playing the 2D version. I'm definitely double-dipping now.

 

[Baroque]

I'll gladly rebuy it. No regrets. Enjoyed the game on PS4 and will enjoy it again with all the new features on the go. Gotta support DQ in America.

 

[RDreamer]

Damn I'm kinda miffed I played it on my vita with a shitty remote play connection most of the time now.

amazing. the salt would be incredible if it stayed exclusive lmao

 

[Lukar]

Orchestrated music and the 2D mode means I'll finally buy this game.

 

[Meows]

How is the 2D version?

 

[Firima]

Square trying to get in good with the future domestic market leader olololololol

Hate to be the one to drop this post, but....I'm actually glad I let everybody else on PS4 and PC early adopt so I could reap the benefits!

EDIT: unless Nintendo paid for exclusivity in which case woof
