I'd really like for you to ask Misato about the Nintendo Switch -- since DQ11 is coming to it and she mentioned how pretty the PS4 port looks, but that she doesn't have a lot of time to play at home.
If you like the beautiful graphics on the PS4, but also like playing portably, you should get the switch version once it comes out. You can also transfer your save from PS4 -> 3ds or 3ds -> PS4 so you could be playing on PS4 at home with beautiful graphics and then put your save onto 3ds and play outside the house. The same should go for the switch version.
An honest review, i loved that part when Misato talked about graphic superiority of PS4, yet she choose to buy 3DS version for reasonable circumstances. Did Misato also play DQ VII and DQ VIII in 3DS. I think its really interesting if Misato can share some personal experiences with those games :) keep up the good podcast, LP Jap.
It's just not marketed well enough here in the west, plus it doesn't fit western tastes as well as Final Fantasy, which is more edgy and cool/stylized. Us Americans love being edgy lol. We're also pretty intolerant when it comes to niche media that are cutesy, happy, sexual, and/or contain anime characters, just muttering a word about it will garner the attention of a lot of haters who make blind judgements about games they've never played simply for falling into the above categories. There's also the sentiment of "If you're American, buy American" that bars people from enjoying much else, for those that can't think for themselves at least or people too caught up on fitting societal molds/fixated on public image.
TYRONEYUNASTY Yeah, I was aware of all those generalizations, but as you implied, they aren't very rational (for those who fit the generalization). I'm American, but my taste is not very prototypical American. However, the idea of "buying American" especially doesn't explain it, because as you noted, Americans love Final Fantasy, which is also not American (even though more find it appealing for the reasons you listed).
ArcadianGenesis I guess I wasn't clear. The reason why ff works is because there are qualities that are appealing to Americans, the same reason why Cowboy Bebop is more popular here than something like Blackjack. I'm not saying that they strictly buy things that are American, rather Americans generally only buy what has become an acceptable norm and is well known, in this instance, final fantasy. I was simply stating the many possible reasons as to why DQ isn't as popular here, "buying American" being one of them, and I know I'm working with blanket statements here, but there is basis in reality. To clarify, I was speaking of the American consumer base as a whole when it comes to games. To rephrase it, many Americans don't play JRPGs because it doesn't contain qualities that are appealing to Americans, since most are drawn to shooters or the fact that it's not American in the first place, the few that do play ff games are drawn to it either because many American shows have marketed it back in the day, contains qualities that appeal to them, or because they like to play what's popular, totally respectable, among the few that were exposed to ff, there exists even smaller groups of serious JRPG fans who play other JRPGs, and even smaller for the lesser known titles that aren't well marketed, if at all. I too don't fit the bill as a typical American given my tastes, but it doesn't change the fact that most Americans are unwilling to play niche games given the sales numbers.
Sorry if there's any misunderstanding in my tone, my intentions were not mean spirited so I don't want to come off that way. Just wanted to provide clarification brother :3
I really really wish I could play the 3DS version. Ive wanted to ever since it was announced. But still no-one has translated it, and if they did Square Enix would probably eviscerate it anyway.
台湾人です、日本大好き I just want to say that I really liked this show, it's very educative and insightful for people who are interested in Japanese culture. I am currently learning Japanese on the internet, same way I learned English, it's not very easy but I won't give up! 一生懸命頑張る! By the way, Misato-san is very beautiful and funny.
I learned English the same way, and I'm also studying Japanese! It's difficult but it will definitely come in handy if you love the culture (or even if you just love playing video games XD). Do your best!
Sarcasshole lol learning another language isn't useless he or she can talk to people who only speak Japanese and help them, watch movies and TV show, read books in Japanese and understand them. Also being able to play Japanese games without the need to hear it in your own language is a plus too.
Definitely waiting for the Switch version. Why choose between handheld or TV versions when you can have both on the switch? And it might be, ya know, English by then.
I'm glad this game has zero DLC. Thanks for uploading! Anoher thing this series has is that monsters are more charismatic than in Final Fantasy. As a long-time pokémon fan I can't believe what I'm gonna say but... I like those more than most pokémon.
Her explanation is basically what I tell everyone why people in Japan love DQ so much and why it has changed very little since the 1980s.. but, people here in NA just don't get it, unless they just love it the way I do and just play it whenever we're lucky enough to get a localization.
Sometimes youtube recommendations are nice! I recently started playing through the DQ series, and I'm already a big fan. Part of it that wonders me is how japanese people feel about it, so this video was a great insight into that.
Kyo Mebi no I mean that they ask many times to the girl to buy the ps4 even if she has the 3ds.. Why she can't just enjoy the 3ds ones? The whole video seems made only to advertise the ps4 version with no reasons
Guys I am in a dilemma: I own a PS4 Pro and a Nintendo 3DS XL. Which version of the game should I buy? I really love the impressive graphic of the PS4 but its convenient to carry your game around with you.
Yeah, if you have the money, I say get both. If you grew up with the series, the appeal of the 3DS version is the old-school graphics. If you don't care about that though and modern graphics are more important to you than portability, go with the PS4 one. They share the same story, but they're virtually different games in the sense that the offer entirely different experiences. I might end up getting both as well.
At first I was like "what the heck?? Why aren't there English subtitles?? I can't understand what she's saying" I had to read the comments to figure out to turn on the captions.
I think she means the Hero's journey rather than superman style story. She makes a good point that people like DQ because it's quite simple and they don't have to learn a lot of new things, even Final Fantasy games change far more dramatically between titles than the DQ games do. So an older gamer can pick up the new DQ and it will be easy for them to get into - familiar faces, places, spells, items, systems etc.
Dang it Nintendo! I bought your Nintendo Switch so give me my Dragon Quest 11. I am not buying a 3DS/2DS. Don't make me go buy a PS4 to play this game. Edit: Square Enix! And I'm not a PS hater. I just don't own the PS4 yet. Well excuuuuuse me princess's.
You might not know this Drewsefer89, but it is not actually Nintendo that makes Dragon Quest. In video game consoles, it is common for other companies "called third parties" to create games to put them on whatever consoles they decide to. Dragon Quest is made by one of these "third parties" called "Square Enix," and they decided to first bring the game to 3DS and PS4 before bringing a version of it to Switch. Hope I have been informative, I know the videogame industry can be confusing for non-gamers.
That must have been a lot of work, but really cool that 3D mode is like DQVIII and 2D mode is like the older DQ games. That means we probably won't get the 3DS version, look what happened to Tales of Hearts on the DS.
It wasn-t the originator of jrpgs but it was the one that popularized them for sure :p played the super famicom remake of DQI recently and it was a great game and it was cool to see a early evolutionary interaction of the genre
Depends, if is different from PS4 and 3DS then yes. If is a upscaled 3DS version or a PS4 downgrade then a big no I have hopes in Horii words that "every version will looks different" but I'm worry if SE will accept this
Radd_BGM I think they will make Switch version more cel-shaded to avoid the high details in PS4 version. It will be something in between 3DS and PS4. Another thing is Switch version of MHXX, it looks better than any HD version and it does only calls Switch version which makes me believe this is the graphical style the Cross team will go with for their next Switch title.
H.Brandt I see what your saying, but I don't think so. MHXX Switch is just an HD textured version of the 3ds version. I'm pretty sure if MHXX was made from the ground up for the Switch it would look a lot better.
Definitely want it on the Switch. My hope is the Switch version is a slightly downscaled version of the PS4 one, but with the addition of the 2D style option like the 3DS has. But I also have a 3DS and a PS4 so I'm flexible.
Funny, all the reasons Misatosan listed for liking the series are exactly my reasons for disliking it and preferring the FF series lol (or in general, games that are milked exclusively for their nostalgia effect, without which there would be little depth or value left in them) but the code entry thing must be pretty cool for older fans. I'm glad I finally understand why Japanese people prefer DQ over FF now and really appreciate the English subtitles! thanks LPJ~
Dragon Quest XI is especially a great game in the series, and I really hope it would sell millions in the west. I haven't liked every DQ game I played. I liked V, but didn't care for VII. However XI is just amazing, from the visuals, to the characters, and the fun tried and true battles. I wish games like that would be more popular over games that emphasize "Let's shoot more people"
We will have a way of getting 10 localized Japan is obviously getting it first but they are working on dragon quest 10 offline which is a fully offline experience of 10 and they are going to make it different from the mmo and add to it to give it a different experience now if they can succeed in that idea and they do localize it I can see them doing expansions as dlc which would add story quests classes and stay offline that can be huge for America then if they can find a way to upgrade 9 omfg
The 3DS version is more beautiful than the PS4 version to me! It's stylised & wholesome, whereas the PS4/PC versions is so much more epic. My fav version is now the Switch version of course
Monster hunter = Mon Han Smash Bros. = Suma Bura Pocket Monsters = Pokemon Final Fantasy = Efu Efu or Fai Fan And the kicker... Street Fighter = ...Suto
It’s mostly because some of the blended consonant sounds we have in English for these titles are hard to say in Japanese. It’s easier to abbreviate them.
if you live in Japan chances are you'll find it better to buy the 3ds version since you probably don't have the time to sit in front of your ps4 to play the game. seeing how much time I was spending in the subway or on campus that would have been my first choice.
yea I know, I remembered that after writing this comment but still I would have buy the 3ds version if I was still in japan. maybe it's such a big deal that people actually take the time to play it on ps4 or maybe the hardcore games are heavily buying it on ps4 while the casual are buying it on 3ds
It's not about casuals or hardcore (*both* consoles have a high casual install base), it is as the girl said, the Japanese just spend too much time outside just waiting in a subway or anything like that, that's why 3DS and mobile gaming are such a huge thing to them, they don't have the time to play home consoles anymore....
The best version right now is the Western PC version, not only does it have voice acting and better difficulty options, as well as the dash feature, on the PC Steam release, you can mod the game. Someone actually modded in the orchestrated version of the soundtrack and it sounds so much better. Now if the composer can just retire, that would be great.
I’m not Japanese I love dragon quest X1 so much also it all has to do with the graphics you go back to NES -PS2 it was trash games have got better that I hated games like final fantasy dragon quest resident evil one piece dragon ball z Castlevania the games were great until they got to PS3 2006 was made a huge difference on games so games I hated so much now are great all of a sudden graphics makes a huge difference the final fantasy 7 on PS1 is trash play it on PS4 it’s amazing
I'm gonna buy both the PS4 and 3DS version. Play it in both glorious 3D and then in 2D on the 3DS. That is, if the games ever come out. Months after release and we haven't heard a single thing from SquareEnix. If this was Final Fantasy XV, we'd be having weekly video updates online, daily twitter reminders and billboard ads all over. But for Dragon Quest, they don't even mention it for 6 months. It's like they are trying to make the game fail in the west.
Both ps4 and 3ds are the same but the difference is 3ds has chibi characters, small screen and small open world. For ps4 has big open world, best graphics and big screen
I can't wait for it but it is a shame that in the west the music will change to a non orchestral format for some reason. MIDI I think it is called not sure... It has something to do with the developer and his issues with the west I read.
Yeah but the japanese version of this particular DQ game has a MIDI soundtrack so there's no real loss for us (in this instance) And normally if we don't get it it's because Sugiyama (the composer) is pretty strict about the use of his music, and xenophobic to boot
I really really wish I could play the 3DS version, but I'd prefer it translated *ACCURATELY!!!* B then again, any release where I don't have to spend 50 years of my life learning Japanese would be better than nothing.
Everyone knows Japanese gamers prioritize portability. Don't know why you guys are pushing for the PS4 version. For Japan, the Switch version will likely be the preferred version in the end if it runs properly.
people add honorifics to some characters like how we give nicknames. For example, Shinji from Evangelion 2.0 is referred to as Shinji-san. Because of the ending.
Got questions for this Japanese girl? Ask them here and we'll consider them for future episodes :)
what is your favorite Dragon quest or RPG game?
whats ur fav anime and do u like kingdom hearts game :D

Because it's a fantastic, iconic series. The better question would be, why does anyone *not* like Dragon Quest?

And that's why the Switch is selling gangbusters in Japan.
She behaves like a Casual Gamer though, there's no reason for her to buy a PS4 just for one Game.
Mecks089 The 3DS version of DQXI is superior to the PS4 version anyway.
@@Sety777 The switch version is superior to the 3ds version.
I really really wish I could play the 3DS version. Ive wanted to ever since it was announced. But still no-one has translated it, and if they did Square Enix would probably eviscerate it anyway.
she's so cute and nice

She just dont want the ps4 yisuuus
Stop bugging her about PS4...

Thanks! Misato loves making videos :)
LEarning Japanese is useless unless you plan on living in Japan, which is a hell hole and you should not plan on living there. Good luck to you

TUNNEL77Xx it's almost like you ignores the other half of my sentence
Because is the perfect RPG formula? Next question.

The questions are written in English and the answers are spoken in Japanese. Great.
Closed caption for the win....
lol Thanks. Guess I never looked around at youtube that much to see that button.
lost in translation
How do i do that
the 3Ds looks really really good. i still can't decide if i want it for ps4 or 3ds.
the guy who produced the video was well paid by sony it seems...
As a western-player I cannot wait until this comes over here! Been a huge fan of DQ since DQ1 on the NES!!!
Thanks for the video!
I can't wait for this game to come to the west. I'm getting both the ps4 and 3ds version of this!
You know what we call those "magic codes" over here in the west?
Cheat codes.
I would've given this a like if not for all the obnoxious PS4 prodding.
So did she say the 3DS version was bad, or was she happy with it?
Why should someone must buy a ps4 for enjoy the game? i don't get all this advertising..
Jenoss why can't I buy Dyese
Kyo Mebi no I mean that they ask many times to the girl to buy the ps4 even if she has the 3ds.. Why she can't just enjoy the 3ds ones? The whole video seems made only to advertise the ps4 version with no reasons
Jenoss but Dyese is cool too.
Park Justin Graphics don't make a better game fool
if its the same game but graphically superior, then yes it does make it better.
Porque es un juego que simplemente te cautiva de principio a fin.

Oof, wish the west had gotten the 3DS version. Love playing DQ on the go, but the Switch version will be awesome.
Guys I am in a dilemma:
I own a PS4 Pro and a Nintendo 3DS XL. Which version of the game should I buy? I really love the impressive graphic of the PS4 but its convenient to carry your game around with you.
Jonas im buying both
But for you ps4 imo
both, obviously lol
3ds all the way, man.
Yeah, if you have the money, I say get both. If you grew up with the series, the appeal of the 3DS version is the old-school graphics. If you don't care about that though and modern graphics are more important to you than portability, go with the PS4 one. They share the same story, but they're virtually different games in the sense that the offer entirely different experiences. I might end up getting both as well.
At first I was like "what the heck?? Why aren't there English subtitles?? I can't understand what she's saying" I had to read the comments to figure out to turn on the captions.
Awesome video! You guys should do more regular game reviews like this
I think she means the Hero's journey rather than superman style story. She makes a good point that people like DQ because it's quite simple and they don't have to learn a lot of new things, even Final Fantasy games change far more dramatically between titles than the DQ games do. So an older gamer can pick up the new DQ and it will be easy for them to get into - familiar faces, places, spells, items, systems etc.
oh those little meta moments when the cameraman losses it. AHAHAA Lovely.
Yellow highlight with white text, over a white background? Please choose something with more contrast for the subtitles next time...
Dang it Nintendo! I bought your Nintendo Switch so give me my Dragon Quest 11. I am not buying a 3DS/2DS. Don't make me go buy a PS4 to play this game.
Edit: Square Enix! And I'm not a PS hater. I just don't own the PS4 yet. Well excuuuuuse me princess's.
Don't buy a ps4 they are just really shit pcs..
Benjamin Stannard Ps4 has the best library of games outta all three current gen systems

Hope I have been informative, I know the videogame industry can be confusing for non-gamers.
It'll come... But SQEX said it'll be a while
full of positive vibes in this video
PC gamer here and ever so thankful it was release for PC. Best game for me in 2018.
Have new Dragon Quests been releasing in english? Last one I played was about the angels
As far as I'm aware, each mainline game, save for X, has made it West now.
I certainly hope the 3DS version comes out in the West instead of just the PS4 and Switch, cause I don't own either of those :/
Misato
That must have been a lot of work, but really cool that 3D mode is like DQVIII and 2D mode is like the older DQ games. That means we probably won't get the 3DS version, look what happened to Tales of Hearts on the DS.

white subtitles over light wood or white background effin hard to read or can you change the color of the subtitles?
How could you ask if she regrets buying a game an Nintendo 3DS? This offends me.
Fun Fact: The Nes Version of dragon quest you could save your progress but in the Japanese one You could´nt
This video really shows how the Japanese game crowd prefers to hold out on buying new consoles until they're usually phasing out the old ones.
Is that why Persona 4 was released so late in the PS2’s life ?
I love dragon quest one of the best game series hands down
cant wait to get this on switch
“Apparently it’ll release in the west so give it a try” not this version I fear 😔
Very off topic but some people have hatred for the series but its not gonna change the fact it's technically the very first JRPG (or invented it)
Those who disrespects Dragon Quest doesn’t have the rights to have an opinion
We will have a way of getting 10 localized Japan is obviously getting it first but they are working on dragon quest 10 offline which is a fully offline experience of 10 and they are going to make it different from the mmo and add to it to give it a different experience now if they can succeed in that idea and they do localize it I can see them doing expansions as dlc which would add story quests classes and stay offline that can be huge for America then if they can find a way to upgrade 9 omfg
Well... I'll get both xD
Can't frecking wait!!
*THERE'S LITTLE BIT OF VIDEO ON YOUR PS4 AD.*
Why do they say that she has Dragon quest XI and is holding a 3ds game box? Is it available on 3ds?
Yeah, you can pirate it online to play on your 3ds now
It's a pretty cool port of dq11 with some missing content
She isn’t really answering the question, but giving vague responses
The 3DS version is more beautiful than the PS4 version to me! It's stylised & wholesome, whereas the PS4/PC versions is so much more epic. My fav version is now the Switch version of course
DQ is fun to play if your the type of gamer who look after the story...currently playing 8
I didn't play dragon quest until recently. So far I have played 1-5 and 11
What happened to 6-10? 😆
I recommend playing 8 also but you should play them all honestly lol
It’s like Apple Jacks: they just do.
why didnt you tell her the switch one would be like the PS4? Because the Switch is impossible to get in Japan?
Its so funny how everyone in japan seems to abbreviate every name ever lol, DraQue and PlaySta2
Yeah, we would never abbreviate names like DQ and PS2. :P
Alex Peraza It's more how they abbreviate names lol very different from the west
No, I gotcha, I was just messing around with you
Monster hunter = Mon Han
Smash Bros. = Suma Bura
Pocket Monsters = Pokemon
Final Fantasy = Efu Efu or Fai Fan
And the kicker...
Street Fighter = ...Suto
It’s mostly because some of the blended consonant sounds we have in English for these titles are hard to say in Japanese. It’s easier to abbreviate them.
日本人がドラクエを好きな理由は、面白さとかじゃなくて懐かしさとか簡単なとこだと思う
Japan is Dragon quest, and outside Japan is Final fantasy

It's not about casuals or hardcore (*both* consoles have a high casual install base), it is as the girl said, the Japanese just spend too much time outside just waiting in a subway or anything like that, that's why 3DS and mobile gaming are such a huge thing to them, they don't have the time to play home consoles anymore....
So excited to playy
The best version right now is the Western PC version, not only does it have voice acting and better difficulty options, as well as the dash feature, on the PC Steam release, you can mod the game. Someone actually modded in the orchestrated version of the soundtrack and it sounds so much better. Now if the composer can just retire, that would be great.
I'm still playing DQVII and DQ VIII on my N3DS, for DQXI i will just wait for Switch version. Meanwhile my PS4 is happily collecting dust.
I'm looking forward to play this on my PS4 Pro when it get released in Europe =)
I’m not Japanese I love dragon quest X1 so much also it all has to do with the graphics you go back to NES -PS2 it was trash games have got better that I hated games like final fantasy dragon quest resident evil one piece dragon ball z Castlevania the games were great until they got to PS3 2006 was made a huge difference on games so games I hated so much now are great all of a sudden graphics makes a huge difference the final fantasy 7 on PS1 is trash play it on PS4 it’s amazing
Can't wait for this game. Still holding on to my old 3ds.( ಠ◡ಠ )
I'm gonna buy both the PS4 and 3DS version. Play it in both glorious 3D and then in 2D on the 3DS. That is, if the games ever come out. Months after release and we haven't heard a single thing from SquareEnix. If this was Final Fantasy XV, we'd be having weekly video updates online, daily twitter reminders and billboard ads all over. But for Dragon Quest, they don't even mention it for 6 months. It's like they are trying to make the game fail in the west.
Both ps4 and 3ds are the same but the difference is 3ds has chibi characters, small screen and small open world. For ps4 has big open world, best graphics and big screen
I can't wait for it but it is a shame that in the west the music will change to a non orchestral format for some reason. MIDI I think it is called not sure... It has something to do with the developer and his issues with the west I read.
Yeah but the japanese version of this particular DQ game has a MIDI soundtrack so there's no real loss for us (in this instance)
And normally if we don't get it it's because Sugiyama (the composer) is pretty strict about the use of his music, and xenophobic to boot
the 2d mode is pretty awesome, hope that's on the switch version
It is
ドラクエが大好き！I cant wait for dq11 to come to the west!
I'm not Japanese and I love most of the Dragon Quest games. lol I really wanna play Dragon Quest 11. :'( Luckily, I have a 3DS and a PS4. XD
I really really wish I could play the 3DS version, but I'd prefer it translated *ACCURATELY!!!* B then again, any release where I don't have to spend 50 years of my life learning Japanese would be better than nothing.
I hope she buys like 10 more DSes and blows up a Sony store.
I WANNA PLAY IT SO BAD! Could barely get through the video cause my envy was holdin me back 😧
This was released on the 3ds? wow
Man, wish we were getting the 3ds version
Why have the questions with english subs but not her answers?
CC bruh
I really wish we were getting the 3DS version.
0:39 Roasted 😂
Everyone knows Japanese gamers prioritize portability. Don't know why you guys are pushing for the PS4 version. For Japan, the Switch version will likely be the preferred version in the end if it runs properly.
日本ではps4受けないよね
正直Switchが据え置きだけだったらここまで売れてない
家のなかでも外でも自由にゲームできるスマホ、携帯機が受けるよね
I'm going to get the 3DS and PS4 versions.
Allen Ewasiuk 3da its just japanese.... sadly..
Dragon warrior？Dragon quest？
For some reason it was a big turn on for me when she mentioned Sephiroth and Squall
Shes right, all those different 2d and 3d's brougt couldve been for a ps4 :3
sephiroth-sama? why did she used "-sama"?
hes got an eight foot long sword he deserves it
people add honorifics to some characters like how we give nicknames.
For example, Shinji from Evangelion 2.0 is referred to as Shinji-san. Because of the ending.
stae1234 but there's a reason behind certain honorifics and i think OP meant to ask why "-sama" and not "Sephiroth-san"?
Even if this video wouldn't have subtitles I still watch it because I just enjoy so much someone speaking japanese... :3
I love how I didn't understand a single word in this video :)
that's lest play Japanese or another PlayStation chanel?
Localization pls
Because everyone looks like goku.
Duh.
wish dragon quest come on the wii u in Europe :-(
