Dragon quest 11

Does dragon quest xi really look this good on the ps4 or are those pics and promotional videos just bullshit?

Yes.

>that IQ

I'd hope it looks AT LEAST this good

> that
> good

Can anyone confirm if this runs well on a regular PS4?

>being a memelord shitposter

>might have to actually pick a PS4 soon
well here's hoping they won't announce a PC release or else I might blow my load for nothing

Yeah looks solid. The DS version also doesn't look half bad.

Pretty hype for this one. Shame we'll never see X.

>cheating in a piss easy DQ game

Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Shin Megami Tensei, Fire Emblem, Dark Souls and Golden Sun are my favorite franchises.

But Dragon Quest wins, i don't know exactly what is it about Dragon Quest that makes me like it so much.

I only ever played VIII and IX, which one should I play next and which platform?

It looks amazing for a 3ds but if you look at it objectively it's obviously so inferior to the ps4 it's barely a competition.

I'll post the same exact location in 3ds soon for comparison.

Here, same place. Like I said it looks amazing for the 3ds and you can tell they went as far as they can go with it as opposed to just half assing.

If you ask me the only version that looks like they didn't put too much thought into was the 2d one.

DQIV & V are really good. I have not played the other games other than what you listed so can't comment.

If you have a DS/3DS, you can play IV, V, VI. and VII.


Start with IV.

Same place in the 2d version.

Sweet, will try

How does this work on the 3DS?
From the church it looks like it takes at least 10 seconds to get to where you are standing on the 3D version.

But on 2D it literally looks like 2 seconds of walking.

Problem with 2D is that it's missing so many small details. Like your mom gives you a hug, in the 2D she just stands there. For me, nostalgia only works if it's actually a game I played when I was a kid

I don't know why you'd consider this a bullshot. It looks like DQ8 on PCSX2, except with more grass.

I just read an article that the Nintendo Switch version will be similar to the ps4 one. I can't fucking wait for this to release in NA. 100% getting this for the switch, perfect game for it. Once you have a switch... you realize how much nicer it is to be able to play on your tv and on the go. (That's if you actually do things.) I play my switch at work when I have time... so its perfect or even just in my bed its amazing... don't always got to chill on the couch.

its funny

this was the same shit that happened when DQ8 PS2 hit. amazing graphics and shit for a series that was beforehand 2D

You have to be fucking blind or a shitposter to have this kind of opinion. DQ11 on PS4 has tons more geometry and texture detail than DQ8. DQ8 is actually very comparable to the 3DS version. It's at least much closer than it is to the PS4 version.

>good
Nani?

That shit is almost ten times the resolution ofTEN

TIMES

They are completely different versions. You can only change between them at the saving menu inside a church. The only part where you get both at the same time (one in each screen) for LIVE comparison is at the start, and then it seems to convert equally.

I guess after the part where you have to chose 1 or the other they stopped caring about 100% equal conversion.

Well, you'd also need to be blind or a shitposter to claim OP pic looks good enough to be unrealistic on modern hardware.

>I guess after the part where you have to chose 1 or the other they stopped caring about 100% equal conversion.
That and people would want to play 2D on the main screen

>looks like a PS2 game
>good
LOL

very doubtful they'll do a pc release

if they were going to, they'd have done a builders port already seeing how it's a minecraft clone

The ps4 picture is upscaled, obviously. You should know that. The game is not actually played in that res.

Also a lot of shit factor in. The ps4 is played on a huge screen in your living room while the 3ds is obviously on a much smaller screen to be played lying down in bed or outside if you are not a Sup Forums neckbeard or if you live in a place where it's acceptable like Japan.

People have grown too used to blindly defaulting to shitty console warrior mode as opposed to actually using their heads.

I WANT IT ALREADY

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>new games became so washed out that more colors means better graphics
this industry has decayed

3DS version looks way cooler to me for some reason

So has it been confirmed that the 3DS one is the same story?

>looks like a PS2 game
LOL

yes

Same story,script,characters etc. It just has a different art style and its animated different obviously

>replying to shitposters with low quality baits
You were supposed to be better than this senpai.

how many swords are in this game DQVIII was great but had so little in terms of weapon variety

purely graphically speaking there is literally nothing special in that screen.

I think people mistake appealing toriyama designs with great grafics.

PS4 has extra mini games, like horse racing and something else I can't remember

3DS has the 2D mode

So far I have found 6 swords
So there are 6

you make a good point but they still released Heroes 1 and 2 there though. That being said I have no idea how SE's decide what gets to be on PC or not

thats the upressed emulated version at that lol

how late in the game

>Hori wanted to make his first HD DQ
>Square jumped in and told him to make a 3DS version too because they knew it wouldnt do well

really makes me think

if they got the budget its not a bad idea at all.

Heroes were Koei musous

I'm not saying a port is impossible, just that I think DQB not getting ported makes it look unlikely

3ds has some content where you get to go to locations of previous dragon quests or something

or so I hear

So whats this one about, anyway?

>knew it wouldnt do well
PS4 version had more pre-orders than the 3DS version

Is this from the PS4 or PS2 game? I literally cannot tell the difference.

at one retail chain in Japan

Whats your point?

will we get heroes 3, I tink its my favorite spin off I just hope they can find characters for the first three games

>one retail chain
Nope, it was also higher on the Amazon charts too
>in Japan
It's all in Japan you dingus

there's a whole bunch that you can buy but if you wanna have the real shit you need to alchemy pot them up. reminds me back in the days where I had to print a whole gamefaqs guide

What are you two even arguing about exactly?

You are the hero and you save the world with your group of friends.

Akira Toriyama is known for extremely stylized art style that always looks good.
tl;dr yes

It's a case of hedging your bets, considering how many people own 3ds in japan. Also, the hardcore fans may buy the game twice.

>you are a reincarnation of another hero of the past
>some kingdom saw this as fucking heresy and they're on to you

at least that's what I read

Well, thats a new one.

It's Dragon Quest. Don't expect anything out of the ordinary. This isn't FF.

He said Square expected the PS4 version to flop in comparison to the 3DS version. I was telling him that the only figures we have at the minute (pre-orders), point to PS4 selling better.
I'm not arguing, just correcting him.

I've always kind of wanted to try the dragon quest games. Do they all follow each other? Which ones should I start with/play?

Yeah it really feels like it was the half asses version. The ps4 looks amazingly good if you are not a braindead shitposter, the 3ds looks amazing and it's clearly pushing the console as high as it can go, and then the 2d feels half assed.

But then again maybe it's half assed on purpose for extra nostalgia.

>some kingdom saw this as fucking heresy and they're on to you
That part is kind of a spoiler so I'm sure some people will hate you.

2 hours in

It's actually closer to 20 times.

pixel doubling works in factors of 4, not 2.

2560 x 1440 has 4 times as many pixels as 1280 x 720 for example.

Twice as wide AND twice as tall.

Thus x4.

what a twist

VIII is easily the best way to start.
has stellar voice acting, amazing feel of adventure, goat soundtrack and story is also pretty good

Nah, they're like Final Fantasy. Aside from some terms and monsters, each one is stand-alone.

The best ones for newbies are usually considered to be 4 5 or 6.

Cool thanks

Well people don't buy 3ds games anymore since piracy is so easy now.

welp I hope they scrolled past my post then

>pokemon sumo sold 15 million
Nah, 3DS is just owned by casuals, whereas people who bought a PS4 in Japan actually wanted JRPGs. In fact I wouldn't doubt if over a million PS4s sold just to play DQ11. It's been 13 years since a proper home console DQ

Most nips are violently against piracy.

I get why, their developers still cater to them unlike the Western publishers favoring normies instead of actual hobbyists.

>I wouldn't doubt if over a million PS4s sold just to play DQ11. It's been 13 years since a proper home console DQ
When DQH released, PS4 sold out across Japan. I'm not sure if it'll sell out again, but I guarantee it'll move a shit ton of units.

Especially Nintendo. They fear piracy like cats fear water.

That's pretty ironic considering the 3ds and wii u have both been pirated to death.

yeah sure

in AMERICA

but they don't hack shit in japan
they are loyal as shit to consoles and shit

I mean consumer nips, they don't pirate shit because they know that would turn the JP industry into the Western one, aka a normie catered fuckfest.

>they are loyal as shit to consoles and shit
Wrong, they know that by supporting the current industry they're far less likely to cater to normies vs hobbyists/otaku.

They'd throw the industry under the bus at the first sign of normie catering.

Remember when DQ9 started as an ARPG?

2ch fucking EXPLODED in rage and Square was forced to completely restart development.

Nips are merely informed consumers.

wii u
pirated to death

yeah, sure, when ALL the fucking hacks and shit happened in like fall of last year and when ANYONE cared because in March when fucking BotW hit and STILL wouldn't put a dent in fucking BotW sales overall.

who even fucking bought the game for wii u?

3ds is same shit, the only people who hacked it are people on /hbg/ and shit. like less than 0.0001% of people probably hack

fuck you assholes are stupid
there is no way to know who hacks, but we know that hacking

They're all effectively independent, but some form an over arching story; I/II/II are a trilogy, and IV/V/VI are another trilogy.
Again, they're still mostly independent from one another.

>first sign of normie catering

and yet, mother fucking mobile games!
that is the most normie shit on this planet

>fuck you assholes are stupid
>there is no way to know who hacks, but we know that hacking
The irony in this failed statement is not lost on me friend.

You are also taking this shit too seriously, obviously I didn't actually mean to death. Have you been talking with people lately? Not everything is meant on the most literal way.
You can pirate on the 3ds and on the wii u easily, you can't do that on the ps4 or on the xbone or at least you not with anywhere near the same ease.

It's out in Japan and there are multiple people streaming it if you actually wanted to know you fucking idiot.

the world's pretty lifeless and lacking in interactivity, so it makes sense that it'd at least look good. Although look at the ground and rock textures, also the grass... They are almost PS2 tier assets.

Is this game as big and long as DQ VIII?
Also what the fuck is with battle system I heard that it is turn based but I looked on the gameplay video and the player was running around during battle

Actually wrong, that's mostly otaku catering.

There's A LOT of moe/cute girl mobiel games designed to get Otaku/Otakus parents money.

Normies don't really spend money in mobile games.

If I wanna get into DQ what should I start with?

>tfw best version of Dragon Quest 8 is stuck on ps2 and you can only choose between android and 3ds subpar versions

Golden Sun sucks, man. It has an undeserved fame of being one of the besr RPGs and I don't get why.

But 3DS version has a better battle system, so I'll get that version.

And the Switch one, ofc

>nicely made world
>offputting out of place cartoony enemies clashing
>everyone still looks like DBZ rejects for no reason

Hmm...nah.

Probably the same as DQ9 with player who run around the monsters between the turns just to make it a little more lively

The running around is basically just camera control. It allows you to change how you view the battle.
It's still entirely turn based, don't worry.

Xd bro you sure showed him KEKLMAO
