That's because western games are usually much more demanding and developed to utilise all the juice from the big consoles, while Dragon Quest XI doesn't look that demanding to begin with, with simple effects and art style. I'm actually suprised it only runs at 900p on PS4 while Witcher 3, Red Dead  Redemption 2 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey run at 1080p on base PS4, Japanese devs can't seem to make cutting edge graphics or utilise PS4 power fully.

And I still think Witcher 3 Switch looks decent and close enough to base Xbox One and they menaged 720p in that game which is crazy considering how demanding it is.

I think resolution is a problem on UE4 in general. Almost every game I know using that engine has a lower resolution than what I would expect looking at the visuals or how the game is constructed...

That being said, while not as technically advanced as The Witcher 3, I think DQXI is not as simple as you say. Obviously being a cartoony game makes it look less impressive overall, but it's still a very well crafted and a beautiful game on its own right.

I think the lower resolution of a lot of UE4 games is that the engine's feature set seems to go for maximum quality no matter the rendering cost. In a lot of cases I actually think this pays off rather well; titles like Hellblade, Yoshi's Crafted World and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter are, in my book, among the best looking games on Switch.
