There are RPGs, *and then there's Dragon Quest.*
They're pushing this series hard.
He's not wrong Dragon Quest pokemon and soon fire emblem will be the jrpg titans of Japan and the world
@@christianlopez707 Nintendo has spent literally thirty years trying to bring the Japanese success of this series to the Western market. They've never quite succeeded, but those of us who love it, love it deeply.
@@matthewmartin1595 hey I'm not complaining, honestly its about time this series got its chance in the spotlight
That comment could go either complimentary or derogatory.
FUN FACT: The narrator for this trailer is none other than *MARK ELLIOT!!!!!!!!!* The same man responsible for narrating movie trailers coming to VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray from Disney Home Entertainment, as well as narrating shows for FOX and CBS networks.
Cool! I don't know at first.
Disney ey? Y'know what that means
@@Harrinsain And now... our feature presentation!
Oh, i loved that voice. Still stuck in my head even almost decades later.
So random that you know that but very cool nonetheless
I love how the trailer isn't just random "gamey" stuff, it's totally marketed towards fans of the genre. Like, instead of "flashy epic battles against terrible foes" it's "perfectly balanced battles". And if you're the target audience, you know exactly which one is more promising
I have never played Dragon Quest but I can clearly tell how huge this franchise is. And that exact thing is what tells me they know their shiz. Like, this isn't the dumb "wow look at this!" marketing. It is a game that knows what it's doing because every single other RPG in one way or another has based itself off of this.
If I end up playing this, I am looking forward to playing the other Dragon Quest games.
I mean, an entire 16-bit adventure behind the already awesome 3D open world adventure? This game seems exploding with content, and the side stories for characters only add more.
@@reydesonic Well, Dragon Quest is THE most popular video game series in Japan for a reason! It's definitely an old-school, traditional series through and through, but it perfects the formula.
@@Aces00 Pokemon is the most popular video game series in Japan. But it's definitely up there with Pokemon and Mario
I was thinking the same thing. Someone who isn't a fan might see the trailer and go, "16-bit mode? Who cares?"
Meanwhile I was freaking out about that.
The opening says it all: "There are RPGs... And then there's Dragon Quest."
I'M 42 AND GREW UP PLAYING DRAGON QUEST -- THAT 16 BIT MODE MAKES ME CRY
@Golden Z 25 Me too, I really want to play XI but I don't know if i can wait till the fall.
Well, I suggest that you try the previous DQ games. My personal recommendations would be DQ5, DQ7, DQ8 or DQ9. Although I personally love DQ9 and DQ5 among those.
That's from the 3DS version. I'm excited, because I thought that we'd never see that mode in English when they said that only the PS4/PC version would be translated.
Excited for the your news on The Know.
@@icecreamcake5381 DQ7 is not that good to start with IMO, I'd suggest 5, 8 or 3
Dragon Quest 11 S; Echoes of an Elusive Age; Definitive Edition.
Yup, that’s a square enix title alright
I bet Switch port of KH3 will push the system’s limits.
Both DQ and KH doesn’t demands much graphics
@@nintendorakyamato1859 Not to mention both games run on Unreal Engine 4, the same game engine Yoshi's Crafted World runs on!
Duwang King Yeah!!
DQXI S is the only one that made me happy.
I’m getting it when it arrives
@@nintendorakyamato1859 Same!
@@DuwangKaizer But I always fear for KH3
Now that the Switch port is impossible
The first game ever announced for switch is now soon arriving
Nice pfp
In the announcement that was Nintendo NX
I heard they did from the ground up for the switch thats why it took so long, it is not really a port. And also the additional content, regional matters and feature(nes ver) also contributed to the delay
The irony
@isimi taiwo And yet, it released for the PS4 first
Finally, orchestral music that doesn’t require modding.
We're glad that Square Enix decided to include orchestral music by default, we were planning to adapt out Orchestral Overhaul Mod for the Switch version but now it will no longer be necessary.
Naturally, we still plan to release it for the PS4 version as soon as newer PS4 firmwares become moddable.
Is this a meme? I just saw this exact same comment in a very unrelated 1 year old video
@@Kevin-wx7wu I don't follow, what do you mean? No it's not a meme, it was a completely serious comment from me as I'm one of the team members behind the Orchestral Overhaul Mod which is currently available for PC. We were planning to support PS4 and Switch versions later down the line but since Switch version comes with it by default, we will only add support for PS4 once higher firmware becomes hackable.
@@canzah5445 sorry man, i was talking to the other guy (The original comment on this thread) I realise that It was ambiguous not tagging the guy and I never doubted the seriousness of your comment
Kevin Pereira Not sure if what I’m saying is a meme. But if it was related to DQ at all, DQ is infamous for releasing with synth music as opposed to the fully orchestrated music that should have been in the game to begin with.
Having the orchestrated soundtrack in already makes this the best version of the game.
CursedUsername Those updates should come to the other versions as well. It would be disgusting, if they were switch exclusive, just to make it sell better.
@Multiplatform Gamer Everybody keep saying this, but is there a link where they officially write/say that the ps4 version won't be updated?
I never thought we would get an orchestrated soundtrack since I heard the composer is pretty strict. Nintendo must've paid a huge amount of money to make it happen.
Dragon Quest has always been basically more of a Nintendo consoles franchise, so I'm not surprised. Besides, Nintendo has proven to love the series.
@@n000rbi1 it's a pretty considerable update, but I'm not holding my breath that it'll end up anywhere else, since it's the composer's fault we didn't get the orchestrated soundtrack. There must be some kind of deal either Nintendo or Enix made.
I'm kinda glad I held off on purchasing it. To be fair, hearing that it wasn't orchestrated kept me from spending money on the game.
Only boys complain about graphics. Men cry at seeing that there's a 2D mode.
It's amazing that they would even take the time to remake the entire thing in 16 bit
Graphics mean jack all to me I pref a good storyline and that's where it's at
chibi zone I play Kemco JRPGS so 2D is def. NOT a problem with me
@@flatcapman You'll love this =)
The Japanese version of the trailer has less compressed footage, I sure once folks get to see the gameplay uncompressed the complaining will lessen.
All the comments here missing out on the Overworld full Party travelling.
When I noticed that, my jaw dropped. Such a small change, but it makes it so much better imo
Holy crap you're right HAHAHHA definitely getting it again. Ij have it on PS4 but I sure want to bring it with me anywhere. It's a great game.
Crap, didn't notice that. That's really nice!
I didn’t even notice holy crap
Yeah.. I wondered why they made the original choice to have just your own character shown in the first place? When I played it on PS4, I thought it was really odd and thought perhaps its a callback to old school RPGs where you didn't see the whole team. Glad they rectified it here, but perhaps the other versions need a patch to show the whole group. Def. weird original decision tho.
My PS4 and I are super-jealous right now! But I'm really glad this game is going to a console where people will give it the attention it deserves.
I hope you're right. I'm holding off on the PS4 version of this game to get it on the Switch myself. I'd love to see the series become more of a staple on Nintendo consoles, so that's part of the motivation here.
It looks like the Switch will be having a strong latter half to 2019, so there is some worry of this game getting lost in the shuffle, but I'll remain optimistic for now. I can't wait.
@@Its_nautiee yeah, but Square "Isn't sure" if they will bring the extra content (AKA STORY FOR THE PARTY MEMBERS AND THE ORCHESTRATED SOUNDTRACK people have been asking for!) to the other platforms... Aka: You want the complete experience? Go and buy a switch, money bag!
undertakernumberone1 well they did say that the switch would have exclusive content to make up for the wait.
They should just give an update for the ps4 version and call it a day because although it's great and all that they went about it this way ps4 version owners are going to feel left out for sure
@@g-o-network7577 Dragon Quest has always had a better relationship with Nintendo consoles, so I don`t see it happening. I might be wrong though.
Yup. This is a _hard_ push from Square Enix.
It seems those Smash rumors might be true after all...
And with Koichi Sugiyama seemingly having come round at last, think of the possibilities!
Heck the fact that this came out during Smash development and Nintendo choosing the characters, a DQ character definitely has to have been brought up. Thats not even mentioning that there publishing another DQ game for switch in Japan.
@@christianlopez707 a warriors game and a card game?
@@haruhisuzumiya6650 A card game called DQ rivals, originally it was mobile but there bringing it to switch.
FF and KH? Plz in Japan only pkmn beats DQ.
I kept saying if the Switch has a "Retro Mode" like Japan had on the 3DS I would play this again, so I'm buying this again day 1 and looking forward to beating it in 16-bit mode. EDIT: Wait a second, we get the orchestra soundtrack on this version? This is The Definitive Edition by far.
I played this on the Playstation 4 in September 2018. Idk how different the orchestrated soundtrack is from the electronic one but some themes in the music were REALLY grating and repetitive.
yeah same now I don't feel so bad about the 3DS version not getting localized. Obviously it's not the same version but it looks like they're trying to consolidate the unique flavors of the 3DS and PS4 versions which is what I was hoping for.
Lol, me too. I have the pc version, but said if this had the 16bit mode ide buy it.
Japanese voice acting too
Plus bonus story content for each character!
Already have the PS4 version and played through everything, but I'm probably going to end up putting even more time into this one.
Your party memebers follow behind you....
Thats all I want from the game
Yeah instead of the lead character absorbing everyone lol
James V lmao
It's always been like that in dragon quest since 4 I think? I may be wrong, and there's probably exceptions
@@sofiadavies5424 It has been like that since DQ2 from the FC
then buy Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition
Woohoo the old school graphics are in!!!!!! I was so mad we didn’t had the 3DS version exclusive to Japan because of that, but now I can finally buy this game! :D
YoshMaster my jaw dropped and I was so happy. Basically getting two games in one
Yesss🥳 So worth waiting for the Switch version.
I wonder the new stories means the main character can marry Jade instead of the default girl.
@@whitewolf3051 that's been confirmed in Japanese interviews with Yuji Horii, that you can "marry" any of the party members. There's a translated interview on the website Gematsu
don't worry you weren't alone being pissed off the 3DS version never came. One guy confronted Square enix directly and called them "Racist" and he's not far wrong
"There are RPGs and then there is Dragon Quest..."
They ain't wrong
@Meme Man For Smash! So it’s worth buying? I’m really interested in getting it.
Best moment of a great Direct.
Woah! It YOU! I didn't know you liked DQ!
@@TrueLadyEvilChan Did you not see the whole video he made about how the Dragon Quest Slime would be a perfect Smash Bros character?
@@tomatooverlord2764 I haven't actually! I'd like to though!
Same for me :D
@coco beru dragon quest is awesome tho
I just got the PS4 version and beat the game (including the real post game ending boss) and have played it for 150 hrs. At one point I was gonna wait for the Switch version, but I feared it was never coming. And now here it is, with the 16-bit mode and orchestrated soundtrack, and Japanese VO!!!!!!! And it’s potable! Screw it I say, that’s well worth me buying it again, and playing it all over!!!
I wonder what the 16bit version tastes like? Id it thick or runny? "you said potable like drinkable". And yes i know you meant portable lol
Wow you plat and want to double dip I like the game too but it felt weak compared to older titles the story was okay-good but the characters specifically slv and Veronica was amazing the voice acting was on point Gemma need to join the fight and become rivals with Jade also speaking of Jade/Veronica/Slv/Erik ending I don't care about Gemma or Serena there's basically the same person in my eye
@@Quite_Quizzical Well... dude. I do not want to double dip I want to triple dip. I bought this twice on ps4 physically and digitally. I will be getting this version as well and therefore the sales numbers for dragon quest xi will have been kept alive three times by me!
@S E Not all heroes wear capes! Bravo, dude.
Both 3D and retro 2D 16bit styles and ochestrated music outside Japan, i don't know how they did it but this is the definite edition of Dragon Quest 11!
Quadraxis Plus it has full Japanese voice acting!
@@WideMouth and apparently new quests for each party member
@@WideMouth yeah we know 🙄
In one single trailer Nintendo has sold Dragon Quest XI S better than every single Western trailer from last year.
I really don't know why Square Enix was so confident they could do it themselves when they have never been able to sell Dragon Quest in the West before. Going to Sony would have really helped, even just getting a trailer into Sony's E3 conference. At least Nintendo is doing it this time around, hopefully it does a lot better in the West on Switch.
I think it well. There's a lot of overlap between old-school JRPG fans and Nintendo fans, and DQ games have traditionally been Nintendo exclusives. A lot of Nintendo fans like me grew up with DQ.
In any case, this version will probably outsell the PS4 one in Japan in record time.
Alex Peraza well the 3ds version sold more than ps4 in japan
Alex Peraza Oh for sure. When SE Japan kept showing only voice acting I got concerned it would be mostly a straight port, and those mostly perform poorly in Japan. With all this new content, plus the 3DS stuff, and a lot marketing behind it, no way does it not beat the PS4 version.
For the West, it's a good thing Nintendo America loves DQ and understands how the sell it far more than SE America
@@Ben-do1bf The moment they had voice acting should have been a giant green flag that something was different
Nintendo fans will praise old school jrpgs more than PlayStation would but it is more to do with Nintendo publishing 9,8 and 7 in the west
Literally buying a Switch JUST for this
This is a good game, but I would definitely recommend Nintendo’s first party exclusives; Mario cart 8, the legend of Zelda botw, super Mario Odyssey, xenoblade chronicles 2, super smash bros ultimate, and Bayonetta 1 and 2 are great games that are worth the play through.
Yes
Get rune factory 4
and later robot game, P game, ammmmmmmmm, choose you most wanted
@@alsamiyasfh4416 Eh, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is pretty hit-or-miss depending on who you ask. Some people love it, others (like me) couldn't stand it. The rest of the list are pretty much universally acclaimed, though.
Switchable Orchestra Soundtrack
Switchable Japanese/English voices
Added side quests
The return of the 3DS exclusive 16-bit mode!
Truly the Deluxe version
Too bad that subs are still cringy dub copy paste.
Best Version of DQ XI.
Straight UP
Do you think I will be happy with the game? I''ve played DQ 9 about 8-9 years ago and I really liked it. But I dont like animes and all the japanese stuff.
@@spieletaiment8902 If you liked 9, you'll probably like this one. XI is more of a spiritual successor to 8 aesthetically, but it's basically a love letter to the entire franchise. Anyway, story-wise, most DQ games are quite similar: "Chosen one destined to save the world from an ancient EVIL" stuff.
@@alexperaza9475 thanks man :)
And probably I can still play with 4 characters (like a knight or a wizard) and fight against this blue waterbobbles? And are there bosses like the first one in DQ9 called black knight?
Plus, new Booga scene*
Oh man, so many cool games to get this year!
That's a nintendo
Yeap, 13 Exclucive for Switch this Year
and so little money
pick you most wanted games,
well they did promise the switch would get better and they kept their word
This game is a gem. If you like traditional rpgs or just rpgs in general, get this one, it's fantastic. Already have it on my PS4 and definitely getting it again on switch. 😊
Can we get a 9 remaster or remake :3
Yes, please... and the original trilogy remake or at least a re-release of the 16-bit versions.
9 was for me the best. And the very first game, that i played more than probably 400 hours
I would cry. I love that game to death. Dragon Quest 9 was the first game in the series that I played.
I believe many younger DQ fans, like me, had 9 as their first in the series. I would love a 9 remaster. I never got the chance to connect to the internet and download dungeons so I hope I get that chance again one day.
9 is such a good game, I would die if they remade it
Loved this game so much. The characters, the story are magnificent. I'm glad it is coming to the switch so more get to play it. I'm probably going to buy it a second time just for the sake of collecting it.
Orchestral soundtrack is back? This changes the playing field.
It wasn't orchestral before ?
No, midi, 100% pure midi.
I kind of got tired of the battle theme but what if they added in more costumes from hero from other games that changes the music these clothes would then be cosmetics only and not affect stats
The midi really didn't bother me that much, but I'm happy that they added orchestral music. Can't wait to play this game again... probably multiple times?
@@aliffubuntu Synth* not MIDI
Wow, that 2d version made me super jelly to not have this version
this version looks insane. thank god I waited
Hopefully PS4 users get a patch or DLC.
@@joeyzapata6786 didn't they say this is exlusive? Hopefully not I'd like to have all this on PC too. Ofc I'll still buy so can play while on a train tho lol
@@deityoftime3 Has DQ ever come out in PC? If no, don't bother hoping fam
@@gemain609 I already have it on PC...
DQ 11 is the most underrated game 2018. Except in Japan it is very successful
Riddler I agree. This game took me by surprise considering I’m not usually a fan of turn based rpgs
Yeah, maybe because people outside japan love more FF series
Guys, DQ XI sold more than 5.5 million units worldwide, and Yuji Hori the creator, announced that they began working on DQ XII since last year (2019).
What a time to be a DQ fan!!
Well worth the wait.
We'll see about that
@@leonardocarvalho2573 It's the definitive edition. Don't really need to wait to see about that. SE themselves are touting it as the best possible version.
I've been trying SO hard not to buy it on PC all this time. I can't wait to get this version!
your PS4 version sucks. Any DQ without a classic mode is crap
What does the S stands for?
This video doesn’t have enough likes... this game is amazing!!
I’m glad you guys are giving Dragon Quest another chance in the west
So basically erdrick for smash
Or the Luminary
@@christianlopez707 or you choose a skin that is a different DQ hero :)
@@visinedrip5218 brootha?
It is likely going to be the luminary instead
Visinedrip ็ this is the right answer 🤙🏼
I was holding out for the Switch version, and real orchestrated music + 16-bit mode make me not regret it!
krakelwok and new story content for EACH character!!!
They definitely did the series justice in this direct almost giving it as much time as fire emblem.
This trailer brought me to tears man. Been waiting for this game for so long. I hope this sells the best on switch, strengthen ties with Square and Nintendo so that square will continue to bring their IPs to Nintendo consoles. Having the best version of the game be exclusive to switch is a bigger deal than people are crediting it with, if it sells the best on switch then there’s a good chance that this type of love will continue to exist between the two companies
That 16-bit mode is really scratching that itch for Old-School games. Can't wait!
Thanks Sakurai for making me try DQ for the first time lol
Time to play this game again 🙌🙌
Diego Reynoso ouff you have no idea how much hours ive spent i dont know if i will do it again
I HAVE TO MAKE IT TO ELYSIUM
anyone else keep coming back to this video to get hyped for the game again even tho you've already played for 70 hours?? just me?
I can't believe they're making me play this game again. I just Platinumed the game a month ago >.
I'm so, so excited for this! I've never played the Dragon Quest series before, apart from DQ Builders, and I honestly can't wait until fall.
@@sugar1993 This is a very good entry point for newcomers! You'll love it.
I’ve never played a Dragon Quest game before, but this already puts 90% of RPG’s i’ve seen to shame.
Bumble Tea *Looking at you Gamefreak*
This is how you market Dragon Quest, Square Enix! Thank you, and please keep this up!
no. You market it without possibly making the extra stuff Switch Exclusive. Bringing it out including extra content? OK, but then not without screwing over fans who bought it on PC/PS4 a year before the Switch launch. Otherwise I can't help but to look at this as them trying to make people who already bought it for PC/PS4 buy the game again for the extra stuff. Which for some would mean to also buy a switch.
So glad to see Trunks living his best life in this timeline lol.
Please tell me you've played the game and know how funny what you just said was
Cheetos Hutchens Not yet, but soon lol.
lightsarelow will you also pick the name Trunks?
Bought this day one on PS4 and adored it and will probably end up doing the same on Switch.
The "S" stands for "Screw the Early Adopters".
Bought a switch yesterday, for this game and pokemon
And then, Nintendo annouce that they are going to be on Smash Bros ultimate!
@@RAFAJUMPENwith so many games coming out next year... 2020 rip wallet
I can't believe I've been missing out on this franchise my whole life. This is an RPG. And I LOVE how the marketing talks about stuff we should actually care and look for. A classic chosen-one story, an artstyle reminiscent of the old days, tight, well thought out gameplay (they even go as far as to say 'balanced gameplay' which is something EVERY RPG should focus on, especially nowadays where they seem to be focusing on being too accessible or too easy), the feel of freedom, the fact that they satisfy the always conflicting two sides of 2D and 3D that has plagued modernized RPGs born in the early stages of gaming...
And I'm just saying this based on impressions. Never played DQ. This is what the trailer is telling me and it works.
Should I get into Dragon Quest as a whole?
If I buy this, will this get me to taste what the franchise is about across all of its generations?
This game is definitely the most accessible in the series so i'd recommend starting here with 11 and working your way back if you like it. The top two other DQ games I'd recommend would be DQ 5 and 8. 5 has the best story imo and 8 having the best gameplay. 5 and 8 both have remastered ports for the Nintendo DS and 3DS respectively which are improved over the originals and are generally easier to acquire
Alot of the dq games are available on mobile . They are really fun games.
You realy should play dragon warrior 7 on PS1 and Dragon Quest 8 on PS2, both masterpieces
Maliivica Doncevic I would if you’re going to play seven play the remake as it fixed some balancing issues the original had lowering to something manageable instead of feeling stuck at points
A lot of people outside Japan missed them. It's never been big outside Japan, I hope this dose really well
Fully Orchestrated is the best.
I'm glad I didn't get the PS4 version this is the better version
Indeed... I already have the PS4 version and the game is godly. Switch version will be way better with more content. I'm definitely going to double dip
The switch version will be a down graded version
@@pinkpandamanz542 Yeah graphically it looks a lot worse but it already has a way more content than PS4/PC versions. I'll say its worth it. The game's style still looks beautiful regardless

It's awesome. Enjoy it!
I know literally nothing about Dragon Quest but, I've been wanting an RPG on my switch. And, this game looks promising.
The Dragon Quest series is great! If you have a 3DS, get 7 and 8 for it. They also released 4-6 and 9 for the DS, but you can play them on a 3DS. Thank goodness for backwards compatability. :)
I started Dragon Quest VI yesterday. I don't know but I think I liked it. I just rediscover my old DS on our storage and still working. After this, I play this new
Ouch, you started with a hard one. I love the universe in DQ6, though
I'm not even pissed that I have to buy it again.
Neither am I. I’m glad there’s the extra content, especially for those of us who have already played it.
Same lol
I'm so very happy to see all the love being put into the Switch version!
I was hoping they might included the 16-bit version from the 3DS, but I really was not expecting it.
So happy to see how Nintendo is always pushing the series.

Hopefully
My brother doesn't understand why the ability to play in old graphics is exciting for people
This is my first dragon quest game I’ve only heard about this series when hero got announced in smash then got a date released for September. I’m currently playing the demo and I must say this opening won me over the this series.
Glad to hear! Know that the full game is literally better in every single way. There's so much content!
that overworld travel music is going to sound much much better being orchestrated.
Can’t wait for having this marvelous game!!
Playing it with English dub and orchestrated music!
I wanted to buy it for PC but I love playing JRPGs on the go. I'll go with the Switch version this time.
After the Hero's reveal in Smash Bros., I am SUPER PUMPED for this!
I've never played a Dragon Quest game in my life. This will be my very first one.
googamp32 This was mine as well and I just absolutely loved it!
I'm not even close to finished, I'm done with the first act but man this game is awesome! Great storyline, awesome characters, and the battle lineup? Absolute master piece! It's my first play too, I think I'll be looking more into DQ games now.
Erdrick for Smash!
Sorry not sorry Sora and Geno fans
But Sora is better than any DQ / FE character, though. Sora for Smash.
@@Slappaccino Every character has it's merits, so let's agree that both characters would be equally awesome in smash and be done with it.
Kazuya Define “better”
@@Slappaccino there is RPGs then there is DRAGON QUEST
Isn't Erdrick the DQ equivalent of Anri from Fire Emblem (i.e. the hero's ancestor)? Why would Erdrick be the Smash fighter?
Luminary for Smash!
Surely I can't be the only one that thinks this is more impressive than fire emblem?
Honestly I'm a bit torn between which one I want more. I'm getting both.
Hm a franchise that
I played before or a franchise I have never played. Well both of course.
Both hold a special place in my heart
@@nabi7701 same
Looking forward to playing through this again on my Switch.
Brandon Jones IKR so am I!
Only game in the series I've played is Builders, I'm so hype for the opportunity to get an actual dose of this legendary series!
Looks great, brought back some good old memories of the previous ones for the ds that i played
Ill probably buy this on ps4 and switch.That portability man!
Best of both worlds!
Snes Mode. Take my gils, my rupees and my wallet!!
Sorry, i'll keep the gold!!
And mini-medals, I suppose
@@frostare Those too!
Gonna have to buy it once I get a switch, so I can appreciate that music. My poor PS4...
Something tells me that Kingdom Hearts games might be next but for later.
For now, I’ll enjoy playing Dragon Quest XI on Switch😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
@ANGRY CHIHUAHUA STUDIOS kh3 is not happining to come on Switch.
It cannot handle this game but ut can handle the remasters and DQXI S
@ANGRY CHIHUAHUA STUDIOS i know but kh3 won't happen on Switch
Too demanding.
But the remix 1.5 and 2.5 can be possible
@ANGRY CHIHUAHUA STUDIOS i don't believe that.
In fact i have a ps4 and kh3 on it
I left my hopes for the Switch version behind me
I dont care anymore.
@ANGRY CHIHUAHUA STUDIOS it will need a masive downgrade
@ANGRY CHIHUAHUA STUDIOS true but that doesn't mean KH3 is going to be on Switch later.
It's 34gb.
It's too much for Switch.
Not powerful enough to handle it.
But downgraded can make it run smoothly
With DQ's history with Nintendo, I wouldn't be surprised if we got a DQ character in Smash.
The fact that Nintendo themselves are publishing the game and choosing the DLC characters, DQ has to have been brought up at some point.
every main dragon quest game has been on a nintendo system and has a longer history with them than all of the other third parties.
we should've had a dq rep already
@@jude_210 agreed
@@christianlopez707 Nintendo publishing the game has nothing to say. They published every Dragon Quest game of recent years (DS, 3DS, now Switch; probably even before those ones). Square Enix barely localizes and publishes games that aren't Final Fantasy on Nintendo systems outside of Japan.
@@PillWool even so things line up too well for DQ to not be a strong consideration.
Loved the demo. day one purchease definitely.
I am so excited for this DQIX was my favourite game for the DS!
Imma keep rewatching this.
