There's no voice acting, pissed they didn't do closer to launch for the world.

>caring about va
fuck off

No VA is a fucking joke. Not going to stop me from playing or anything, but it's a really weak decision.

HOLY SHIT

Is there a reason they couldn't have announced this during their three day E3 event?

Fucking what?
>CURRENT YEAR
>no voice acting
Even Zelda has VA nowadays, not having it in a huge plot-driven JRPG is pretty pathetic.

It was great in DQVIII

a sum total of 1 (ONE) DQ has had voice acting
this is literally a non issue

>voice acting in a DQ game
I hope they never do this, I want a long adventure with plenty of story and text, I don't give a shit if Bioware is the standard for RPGs and what the west loves, classic have the right to remain classics.

You miss the point idiots, there not being voice acting means they didn't even try to localize it sooner. They have no excuse for no world wide release on a title this big.

Yup but that one had FUCKING AWESOME VA.
>It's a Pity...

Yangus master race

> ps4 loses a exclusive to the 3ds

kek

>I hope they never do this
What DID he mean by this?

Why do normies who care about VA in fucking DQ of all games try to pretend to like DQ again?

Is it for 'cred' or some stupid shit?

it was okay but honestly i prefer dq without it

This
>more than one year to translate text

>voice acting
Who gives a fuck
Can we talk about the game having a MIDI soundtrack that sounds straight out of a 90's game?

They wanted people to buy the japanese version before knowing.

BotW's VA hurt it, if anything.

There's nothing wrong with games choosing to use weird noises or plain text for dialogue. It's especially good for kids because it forces them to fucking learn how to read instead of being lazy shits.

I heard there isn't orchestral music either, it's all midi.

it was never exclusive you fucking mong
it was always on both PS4/3DS, with a switch version in the works

They literally announced this the MINUTE DQ11 went live on Japan digital stores, so it was probably an embargo

No idea. These people clearly dont like D1 but shit up every thread.

More than likely they decided on this like five days ago.

Squeenix upper management is a real bitch about this kind of stuff.

Hope they don't leave the 3DS version behind

>2018
this is fucking absurd, I know SE doesn't care about DQ in the west, but I guarantee Stormblood has more dialogue text than DQXI and voice acting in 5 languages so if they can get game out day one worldwide they can can get DQ out as well.

there must be a contract thing that says the Western Switch version must be out same day as the PS4 version or they're making an Xbox One SKU.

Sup Forums likes to parrot shitposts as opinions, you should know this by now

>falling for such weak bait
isn't every DQ game except 10 on the DS/3DS?

Give me an orchestral soundtrack and I'll buy it.

They didn't do shit on western until Japanese was all done and shipped, it's disgraceful

DQVIII didn't have voice acting in Japan but it ended up getting it in the west.

Same thing will probably happen now too.

10 is on 3DS

not sure if 1-3 is on DS

>I know SE doesn't care about DQ in the west

They just announced DQ11 is coming to the west.

DQ is handled by a different team, and if anything it's Sugiyama that is causing these DQ delays because he's xenophobic as fuck

They ALWAYS record an orchestral version after the game's released. So the symohonic version being in the localised version is possible but not very likely

Should I buy the Jap version from Amazon? Would it be beneficial if I'm trying to learn jap?

No one cares about no voice acting, they care that it's not localised sooner.

If they care about VA so much they picked the wrong series.

I don't know, man. It's like they won't stop until everything is an open world QTE driven 'cinenatic experience'.

they only did orchestral for the western release of 8.

Doubt they would. DQ has a very dedicated fanbase on either console.

Yeah, but the guys who translate XIV are part of the team directly, interact during development, and HAVE to get it done by launch. Also, most of XIV's JP script is ornate but empty words, so the localization team gets to just bullshit it most of the time. DQ games by comparison are simply worded but contain depth and nuance, meaning it takes more effort.

Also forced accents/puns.

If you're willing to look up words constantly sure.

I hope Switch has both HD mode and 16-bit sprites mode. It would be the definitive version.

Why would you learn Japanes? grow up filthy gaijin.

1.11 You Can (Not) Learn Japanese

Read the thread. People are clearly complaining about lack of VA. They did so the last couple of threads too.

it might, but it'd be hard to call it the definitive version as it almost certainly will perform worse than the PS4 version

Yeah, I'm saying there's never orchestral for the initial release because it's only recorded later.

It'd be two different games then. The 3D mode on 3ds is just basically a 1:1 representation of the sprite mode, however the PS4 version is completely different than the 3DS version.

PS4 will be the definitive version simply for having the best grahpics, framerate and presentation.


Switch version will be PS4 downgraded anyway.

It's a great option for playing the good version on the go though.

The press release only has the PS4 version shown

press.na.square-enix.com/releases/1002/dragon-quest-xi-coming-to-the-west-in-2018

I'm happy. Was planning on importing it, but I'll just wait it out now.

>might have to buy a ps4
Goddammit

What if Nintendo decides to localise the eDS version themselves and release it way before the PS4 version?

It's fine if you have a fuckhuge open-world RPG like Skyrim, not everyone has the money to fully voice that shit. It's also fine if you're a smalltime Spike Chunsoft-tier developer. None of this applies to Dragon Quest.
Besides, DQ is the biggest thing in Japan since the 80s. I expected them to deliver a premium game, not Hyperdimension fucking Neptunia.

do it and you can play builders too

Not buying it if it has synth music like the Jap version.

I mean holy fuck, it's not even GOOD synth music, it's like they try to make it sound as bad and grating as possible. This is what retro music done right sounds like:

youtube.com/watch?v=zZAePMBmc0c

It would take the same amount of time though since it's the same script in both

It can be apparently be played on Vita too, but I'm not going to pretend anyone has bought a vita outside of japan.

0% chance of happening

>not being idort
there is no excuse user

DQ games are fuckhuge in terms of amount of text

Just that a look at VII's whole script.

They always only show the PS4 version since it's the only presentable version. 3DS version looks like a mobile game (duh) and we can only imagine how shit the Switch version is.

there's no vita version, it's just remote play with the PS4

Least I can finally play Bloodborne. I fucking hate Sony but I'll do anything for Dragon Quest and this game looks amazing.

If the 3DS version comes here i'll probably play it first

>Premium game
>Series that never really had VA
Just fuck off, it's not for you

Yeah not sure why they just didn't went with the original subtitle
And it was fucking shit unless you were playing in nip or Spanish.

>No VA
>MUH MIDEH EVUN IF AI DUN NOU WHAT A MEEDEEI IZ! DUUUUURP!

all of you are fucking ungrateful fuckwads! You dont deserve this game if this is gonna be your attitude.

I was waiting for DQM and i know now that it will never get localized, theres people who actually lost something and you fucks are complaining worse than if the game was never come out!

(i know about the 1 and j3 trans but without online they are useless)

fuckoff slut
your games a mediocre shit

>quoting me
>even though i said to fuck off if you care about va
spastic

>5 languages
>i-it's a lot of text to translate! Look forward to it!
That pretty much implies that the game it's not going to get any VA or orchestral sountrack.

Is the CIA out on the 3ds yet? No way I'm waiting for 2 thousand fucking 18.

>STOP HAVING STANDARDS, BE GRATEFUL THAT THEY ARE ALLOWING YOU TO SPEND $60 OF YOUR MONEY ON A GAME LACKING BASIC FEATURES THAT HAVE BEEN STANDARD FOR OVER 10 YEARS NOW!
You are the worst kind of shit-eating fanboy, kill yourself.

>ungrateful for not wanting a game which soundtrack sounds two decades old
Stop sucking Sugiyama's cock.

youtube.com/watch?v=s5XR1ZtNVE0

love that they got yoshihiko to do the trailers

Fuck off, the music sounds like shit and I'm not about to play a long rpg with an annoying soundtrack.

>soundtrack sounds two decades old
And that what makes it great.

Only in English because of the incredibly weak acting, at least for most of the cast. The Japanese VAs, and from what I hear a lot of the other region ones as well, were pretty darn good

>two decades old
Nigger, the PS1 is two decades old and had many games with music far surpassing the ear-cancer that is Dragon Quest's sound palette. DQ music manages to sound even harsher and more unpleasant than a lot of NES games.

like you were ever going to buy this game, fuck off

DQ11 music uses sampled sounds being played through an internal sequencer via midi channels.

Happening!

Where is that Dragon Quest never ever picture at? It's finally time to cross another game off that image. We are slowly cutting that list down.

Is there a collector's edition for japan ? can we hope for one ?

...

Yeah and you complained about the midis too, get down of that horse will ya?

>It's fine if you have a fuckhuge open-world RPG like Skyrim
VII, arguably VIII, X and probably XI have bigger scripts than Skyrim. 8 and 11 are also big open 3D world maps ala Skyrim.
>It's also fine if you're a smalltime Spike Chunsoft-tier developer.
Chunsoft developed the first 4 DQs.
Get the fuck outta here.

>instead of being lazy shits.

kids are not the only ones being lazy, haven't you been reading this whinefest?

>and you complained about the midis too
no i didnt you fucking retard

youtube.com/watch?v=tRHgN3uB_-U

the show kinda lost its edge after the first season desu

Surprised they didn't announced a pc version as well but maybe Square realized that DQ games don't sell on it

Is that .... the guy that played Serizawa in crows zero ?

I'm a college student living on scraps. That's my excuse. No fucking way I'm working AND taking college classes if I did that I'd have no time to live.

Because I liked the VA in DQ8 and would like to see more.

There is a never ever picture for DQXI localization?

It's gonna be great.

Is the playable on ps4 yet? Can anyone tell me if the game REALLY looks as good as the pics and promotional videos?

Thanks for confirming i didnt quote you.

Never Ever fags keep getting btfo.

They probably hate it when DQ games get localized.
