So that's why they've said DQ11 was going to be for a home console before the announcement. It was thrown together after the 3DS version.

How exactly does that disprove what I said, oh yeah it doesn't because saying it was going to be on home console never meant it wasn't going to be on 3DS as many of you found out, the PS4 version doesn't even have NPCs and I suspect the battle system isn't complete or active as they avoided them. If both games are meant to release at the same time like they say what they showed indicated otherwise as the PS4 version would have a lot more then what they showed, it suggests the 3DS version was always in development or on the cards and they came to a decision on the console version some time after it.

You do realize that home console development is more resource heavy and takes longer I'm sure. So just because there were no NPCs or battles in the demo (which could be for other reasons btw.) does not necessarily mean the 3DS version has been in development longer. In fact the planned simultaneous release rather suggests the opposite.
