Ok not out for three months but you got a copy to review how annoying…I want this so bad this will be my game of the year.
October 26, 2018 @ 3:37 am
Sep 4th baby I got the 150 dollar edition! I will be playing this non stop till Sep 7th when Marvel Spider-Man comes then I will be losing my mind swapping back and fourth between the 2. So do you think we will get voice acting on the American PS4?

Great review. Excited to get this! Kinda sucks the ps4 doesnt get the 3ds features though. I remember watching my brother play Dragon Warrior on the nes. As it used to be called that in the us. It would have been awesome to see the retro graphics on the ps4.

This is one of the games I want this year. Thanks for the early preview
October 26, 2018 @ 3:42 am
Just ordered this game today 8/26. Gonna wait like Eric Cartman
October 26, 2018 @ 3:43 am
For the earlier Dragon Quest games, its because not as many people played them. And while I love Dragon Quest 4, its not as good as 8 on the overall. Same with 6, and 7. 7 is amazing but holy hell its so tedious at times. Dragon Quest IX is utter garbage. The combat is alright but that story is some of the worst schlock I have ever encountered and its extreme over-reliance on bad jokes and puns kills any sort of tension or drama the story tries to build. Not to mention not only a literal exposition fairy, but a literal exposition fairy who is the most annoying character ever.
And while I respect your opinion and do think XI is a great game, its not the greatest RPG on the PS4. That’s Persona 5.
October 26, 2018 @ 3:43 am
personally i think persona 5 is the best jrpg on ps4, but dragon quest XI is a def. second! and when it comes onto the switch……..no.1 for sure
October 26, 2018 @ 3:45 am
i need it. i have just ordered Shenmue Remaster today -.-
Nice review dude !"
October 26, 2018 @ 3:46 am
I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED OMG!!! 13 years later Finally a Dragon Quest for HOME CONSOLE OMG i cannot describe my hype.
Nice review and without the spoilers, CANT WAIT OMG <3
October 26, 2018 @ 3:49 am
It’d be funny if that dog started beeping too.
October 26, 2018 @ 3:50 am
Watched the whole video, liked and subscribed. Got a few unawnsered questions that I was hoping this video would awnser.
You said that there is no monster arena and also that there is a monster riding feature. Is there any monster collecting/beastiary feature? I’ve been dying for a Dragon Quest Joker 3 localization.
How many playable characters are there and how customizable are your party options?
October 26, 2018 @ 3:50 am
the lack of a tension system hurts my soul…
October 26, 2018 @ 3:52 am
It’s preordered
October 26, 2018 @ 3:52 am
huh no voice acting? the ps2 game had that and it was good
October 26, 2018 @ 3:53 am
this fucking sucks compared to the 3DS version I hope the Switch doesn’t suck 3D dick as well otherwise the Dragon quest series IS FUCKING DEAD TO ME. They wont bring out DQ 1-3 on PS4 AND 3DS but they will release this insulting crap THANKS FOR NOTHING SQUARE ENIX NOW GO FUCK YOURSELVES
October 26, 2018 @ 3:57 am
im sure ive seen tension in the game
October 26, 2018 @ 3:57 am
I want the 3ds version too :(. Why isnt it being ported?
October 26, 2018 @ 3:58 am
Getting closer and closer to getting this title in my hands 🙂 Joy!!!!
October 26, 2018 @ 3:59 am
i love everything about this game except the music
October 26, 2018 @ 4:01 am
My favorite character is the long haired girl. She has such ample… talents.
October 26, 2018 @ 4:01 am
I’ve played Dragon Quest since the Dragon Warrior days on NES!
For some reason this release doesn’t seem to excite me too much, perhaps because I was hoping to get both versions of the game not just the PS4 one. That said, this review has somewhat rekindled my excitement. The game does look a lot like VIII, and it will probably be just as epic if not more. The soundtrack does sound weaker than the previous ones though, and the melodies seem a little bit recycled, but as you point out, maybe due to Sugiyama’s age, he’s sticking with what he has mastered.
Hearing that this game somewhat has ties to the earlier games intrigues me a lot, since the original trilogy was amazing, with re-telling/living the legend of Loto (Erdrick!).
I’m still hopeful that Nintendo eventually publishes the 3DS version, just as they helped with the DS and 3DS remakes, as they have been insistent on supporting the 3DS this late into its lifecycle.
Cool review, good work!
October 26, 2018 @ 4:01 am
It’s gonna be a long month.
October 26, 2018 @ 4:03 am
What made DQ8 the best was it’s storyline and immersion of the first-person perspective. While everyone was stuck doing third person, DQ8 gave you the option of both. Does this have first person at all? It’s about the single feature that will make or break me from buying this game.
October 26, 2018 @ 4:03 am
13 days I can’t friggin wait
October 26, 2018 @ 4:04 am
i rather the old cell shade look but the game still looks good
October 26, 2018 @ 4:06 am
I’m excited for this I already reserved it and paid it off at GameStop. They say it’ll be out in 49 more days!
October 26, 2018 @ 4:08 am
Yea Yea, but can I marry Martina?
October 26, 2018 @ 4:09 am
Soundtrack is fuckin terrrible and that really makes a game especially if you have to listen to it for 435563456 hours
October 26, 2018 @ 4:09 am
i wish zelda botw had a post game
October 26, 2018 @ 4:11 am
"[…] Dragon Quest XI is the best rpg on the Playstation 4." *shows footage of repeatedly failing to climb a ledge*
October 26, 2018 @ 4:11 am
When you refer to Dragon Quest 3 and 4 are you talking about Dragon Warrior 3 and 4 on NES? My first NES game was Dragon Warrior and when I got Dragon Warrior 2 I went nuts with that, then I got 3 and then 4 and OMG I played through each of those a few times each.
October 26, 2018 @ 4:12 am
It blows my mind that they can do dragon quest games like these but not a fucking Chrono Trigger remake.
Square plz
October 26, 2018 @ 4:15 am
Can you get marriage or is there romance?
October 26, 2018 @ 4:18 am
Having both played and loved both, would you recommend the PS4 version or the 3DS version of DQ11?
October 26, 2018 @ 4:19 am
I finished the main story of this game (my first DQ game), and I found the game so boring.
October 26, 2018 @ 4:21 am
Man. The alchemy pot would’ve been nice add-on. Anyways hope there’s something similar and even better but anyways I’m glad there’s no class system! Keep it simple. There’s already enough of a challenge
October 26, 2018 @ 4:22 am
come on Why this game is so iconic it look like classic RBG nothing more nothing less
October 26, 2018 @ 4:23 am
I pre ordered the limited edition version, I’ve played and mastered every game except 10, I still remember being 10 years old and grinding through Dragon Warrior on my nes.I hope they choose to release the 3DS version to the North American market at some point.
October 26, 2018 @ 4:23 am
I WANT!!!
October 26, 2018 @ 4:25 am
Who ever has this licence please remaster DQ 9 it is so good an I have spent 800hrs on my 3ds just playing DQ9… But sadly Nintendo has taken down the dlc so I can’t get the rest of the game.
October 26, 2018 @ 4:25 am
Is it bad I bought a ps4 just so I don’t have to wait for the Switch version?
October 26, 2018 @ 4:27 am
Looking forward to this game so so much since so few come our way to the US. Thanks for covering this in the deep manner in which you did 🙂
October 26, 2018 @ 4:29 am
this is just a spoiler not a review…review means graphics story gameplay sounds characters…
October 26, 2018 @ 4:30 am
When is this epic game coming to the switch!?
October 26, 2018 @ 4:30 am
I love DQ monsters series more. When I see the monsters in this game it pain to see that I cannot use them in battles. I just never like the silent lead characters.
October 26, 2018 @ 4:34 am
You had me at "skill seeds"
October 26, 2018 @ 4:35 am
Knowing you seem to love DQX, do you count that when you say best rpg on the platform(s) or is it just that MMORPG and RPG aren’t comparable? I’ll have the chance to play this one soon, probably never DQX, though. /cry
October 26, 2018 @ 4:35 am
Im sick of the battle music already.
October 26, 2018 @ 4:35 am
Twerk attack at 9:10 hell yea
October 26, 2018 @ 4:36 am
You can jump. 10/10
