Seems like new outfits for the characters.

Edit: this is what I'm hoping for anyway as part of the S release.

This is the surprise for Jan 1, 2019? Someone please translate.

"[Notice] New Year January 1, 2019, "Dragon Quest XI in search of the time of the past S" in the site, Fortune Fortune's page will open! Let's fortune the fortune of 2019 to the character of Dragon Quest XI S! Looking forward to the 1st of January!"

It's just reminding of the announcement, it seems.

They are opening up a fortune telling page for the new year. Get your fortunes told by characters from the game.

I know it is tempting to use the translate feature on Twitter/Google but more often than not it makes gibberish.

A whole other Dragon Quest game attached, seeing as the game will likely be two years old before it hits Switch?

If they really do an orchestral score, do we really think it's going to be a Switch Exclusive

I'm currently 20 hrs into PS4 version and don't know if I could handle giving up dat 1800p visual fidelity :(

I dunno bruh, it's Square Enix we're talking about...

If it makes you feel better, the artstyle will make the Switch (puns) to a lower resolution less aggravating

Even if SE wanted to try to include the orchestral soundtrack there's no way that's happening because of Sugiyama. It would be anazing if it included the 2D sprite mode from the 3DS version. Whatever it is I'm keeping my expectations really low. New party member or new dungeon at best.

I would lose my shit if they announced the Switch version will include similar styles to the Japan-only 3DS version. Or an option to play both versions.

It's oomikuji. On new years people go to a shrine and get one telling them how their year will be. A Japanese fortune.

You put your name in and press the button and one of the characters will appear and tell you your fortune. They are voice recorded using the voice actors from DQXIS.

Anyone saying it is a disappointment: you did this to yourselves. It was obviously a New Years related Japanese fan focused surprise making use of the voice actors just as they said at the stage.

As it turns out, an announcement made by Japanese company for a Japanese audience ended up being about a Japanese tradition. Shocking.
