Actually it doesn't make it the same game, what DQXI is it's the same concept with two different types of execution. 3DS is more classical and home like to older games while taking ques from DQIX and other portable rpgs like BD and Pokemon in approach, the PS4 version is more following the path of DQVIII which played in a remarkably unique way compared to the rest of the franchise.

The games may have the same design team but they're not the members handing the hardware as the are two different teams, to give you an example it would be like a game directed by a few people and one version handled by Naughty Dog the other handled by Insomniac.

You want a better example...

Forza Horizon 2... same game... two different teams... the 360 version holding back the Xbone version... that is what I'm talking about but I won't enter in this discussion... so I'm out.

Or Titanfall.

Ah well you'll be one of the few to buy an NX for this then :P


Is not the reason, is one more reason, I still have to see enough reasons to buy it, but this is a good start for the console, and "one of the few" just no, I think a lot of people not interested on ps4 is gonna buy the console for this game in Japan, and people more interested on Nintendo games don´t need to buy a Ps4 for it now, just wait for the NX.

Most Japanese gamers will just buy it on 3DS, they wouldn't care much about PS4 or NX versions.

There is nothing unique in PS3 version of Ni no Kumi...

Can you prove the game could be the same without the 3DS version? I guess not... that is my point... you will never know what the game could be focusing in only new hardware.

But that is my opinion about all games not just Dragon Quest... I guess every old-gen version needs to be dropped... I love Ground Zeroes but I think it could be a way better game without PS360 versions.

RIP cross gen development (I understand it is cheaper for the companies but I don't support this way to work).

The only reason I personally don't like 'cross-gen' is because developers tend to have to compromise the engine to level the playing field. This is completely different. There is absolutely no reason why the story can't be identical on both version and still cater to the power of each. I am more than happy with what SE have done here.



 

The PS5 Exists.

But why buy NX for this when you can play it on 3DS and PS4?

Because I don´t care about PS4 and the 3ds version is a different experience after all.

Assuming the NX is a console.

Is not the official way of thinking on vgc that everyone saying that NX is just a hanheld is only a Nintendo fanboy in denial?

Now this is changing in some way? Is only a handheld now? 

I think it´s both, and is getting the ps4 version of DQXI, the console doesn´t even need to be very powerfull to move those graphics tbh

Well, yeah I guess the 3DS version is gonna stole a lot of homeconsole sales, but I´m sure this game will sell very well on homeconsoles too, is DQ after all, and looks beautiful.

Real talk: When this game gets localized, they need to go with a different company than they usually do. I can't be the only one tired of the localization team flat out changing parts of the script and adding enough puns to kill a lesser person.

I'm actually laughing at the people begging SE to drop the 3DS version. There is no reason for them to do it.

Exactly. They could easily port the 3DS version to NX.

:P   Not sure why so many people are assuming NX is a home console.

Yeah it will sell on consoles, but wouldn't sell many consoles. Even if it does it will sell more PS4's than NX cause PS4 is a JRPG powerhouse and JRPG as well as Final Fantasy fans will prefer PS4.

I was wrong about S-E, it's great to see they're supporting all consoles that deserve it, even NX!


Given that your whole point was userbase requires that DQXI be put on 3DS or WiiU over PS4 how could you possibly justify NX "deserving" this game over the WiiU?

Because Nintendo is still popular in Japan and it will most likely be a rather simple port of the PS4 version. Wii U might be too weak for this game to run properly.

My question is, did they just confirm that NX is coming next year? Or will it be a delayed release for the NX?

I hope its a delayed release. I don't want the NX to come out next year!
