Yeah it's 40 PS4, Xbox and Steam. And yes it's a shame that it will essentially look worse on PS4 than it should because the Switch version was built from the ground up and this is a port of that. So yeah, when Square said DQXIS was built from the ground up, they meant it lol. 

Nice. Though it's not a Definitive Edition if they don't change Martina's name back from Jade. =/

And that's weird. The way they're wording it, it does sound like it's going to look worse than the original PS4 version.
What could they have changed for the Switch version that they can't just reuse the original vanilla assets for?

Yeah, it's going to look worse than the base PS4 version. I don't know how SE built DQXI: S but by the looks of it, it seems that it would be too time consuming to use the PS4 assets...which is strange. 

If you can view this...the first image is the original PS4, the second is the new Steam, (Assuming PS4 as well) and Xbox screens... Yikes.

Meh, I've no regrets. I waited for the Switch version, and I'd rather play it on Switch anyway.

I'm going to replay it again on X1 via Game Pass. I already own and beat it on the PS4 still haven't completely finished my first play through since didn't do all the post final boss stuff yet.

I guess I need to decide how important portability is. I originally held out for the Switch version but haven't bought it yet because Square and Nintendo means the game will remain expensive forever.

With Switch, there's portability. With PC, there's the inevitable mods which will bring it back to the original graphics. Decisions.

Will Square Enix offer an "update pack" as dlc for those who bought the base version?

Now that I saw that it will be a port from the Switch wich is its own game. Square really went all in with DQ XI, they made the same game 4 times, one for the 3ds, for snes vibes, ps4 and switch. It should pay off once they put it on mobile, wich I don't understand why the 3ds version wasn't ported yet.

Phones got even the DQ VIII from 3ds, IX and XI not being there doesn't really make sense.

As I understand its the same exact game the Switch has. Visually a bit downgraded, but with every added extra content. So basically you already bought this game, with the added portability the Switch allows. You have nothing to regret. Have a nice evening.

Sadly it seems there won’t be a definitive version of this games, this new version will have all the content but worse graphics, I am interested in this game but I guess I will wait longer.

Nope. Even if they wanted to they can't. it's a port of the Switch version which used its own assets built on Switch and a different version of UE4.
