Please, if you have never played a DQ game, treat yourself with this masterpiece. If you are a fan of JRPGs it doesn’t get any more pure than this game
I’ve never played any but I’m interested, can I play with friends online?
Barnacle Boi not this one but DQ 10 was an mmo, and 9 you can play with your friends, given your friends still play with a ds or 3ds
I have VIII on 3DS and that game is awesome!
Markell Hawthorne yeah, I’ve always been a dragon quest fan for most of my life. I’m not old enough to have played the originals, but I remember playing all the ds version releases and becoming a fan. But the moment I became a die hard fan was when my uncle gifted me a ps2 just so I could play 8, and to this day, 8 is probably my favorite DQ game, however 11 is just a hair less.
@acrobatsutr i had the demo, and i called it goty, i say again, the demo is goty
Dragon Quest XI was one of the most underrated games last year.
It sold like 4 million copies.
@@theexaltedlt8222 yeah but most of that was in Japan
Danny Freeman
Dragon quest Never sells in america Compred to japan
Danny Freeman That’s worldwide number (mostly Japan). It didn’t sell super well in the West.
@@EVC1094 it still sold 1.4 million copies in the US. For a series that never had a strong presence in the west it sold pretty well. With them being in smash I can guarantee the number will go higher.
EDIT: I MEANT DQ 8 SOLD 1.4 MIL OUTSIDE OF JAPAN. AS OF TODAY DRAGON QUEST 11 SOLD 800,000 COPIES OUTSIDE OF JAPAN.
The fact that you can play the game with 2D sprites is completely insane to me. I feel like that's practically another game entirely :O
Victor Saez oh wow, I actually didn’t even know that existed :O just looked up some gameplay and that one seems like a wildly different experience, too. That’s pretty crazy
And that is sooo much more work that they didn't even have to do
it's not new though, it's from the 3ds version added to the switch version..
SUPER PIXEL PLANET Not really, graphics change would be mind blowing and change the experience for sure, but DQ games haven’t really changed their formula since 3 so it’ll feel the same in some areas
I might even play it in 2d lol I am hyped for it!!!! Ps4 didnt have that feature last I checked lol
"I'm going to get DQ11 on PC"
*You can change the music to DQ 8 on Switch*
*"I'M GOING TO GET DQ11 ON SWITCH"*
I'm already glad they got the symphonic music in by default. You needed a dedicated mod to patch in the symphonic music on the PC version. :-/
I was really bummed when they didn't bring the 3ds version since that's all I had at the time and then I got the switch for Christmas and when they announced this for switch I was hoping they would bring it over and they did so all I had to do was wait lol
MaJuV yeah but it's very easy to install the patch
@@MaJuV Yeah took like 2 minutes to download and install.
this is the best thing ever. waiteed for this so so so long.. instant buy on the switch!
This game has the best acronym DQ11SEOAEADE
could be worse, could be Capcom with like 50 names as the subtitle.
@@davidsalazar2077 that would be some acronym and i like it.
Super Ultra Dead Rising 3' Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + α
@@Nomusito i remember that and i like how Capcom made fun of themselves
@Hazbo Baggins you mad man
This is how I wanted POKEMON to look like
Ikr, as an all-life-pokemon fan i'm just so frustrated for the fact they didn't put enough effort on the game, i mean even in this game which is a newer edition of the same one has already big improvements compared to the previous one ... with pokemon ... i'm heartbroken right now, first pokemon game i won't buy right away and that's all out of dissapointment.
Pokémon looks better than this you moron 😂No disrespect to dragon quest
@@_Abysswalker_ yeah maybe if you're blind
@@_Abysswalker_ Did you see pokemon trailers? I mean I'm gonna get the game anyways but they should've kept working on it even if it will take another year waiting.
I did,which trailers did yall watch? Just because the national Dec is gone doesn't mean the game is bad graphically apart from like 2 trees. Typical babyish internet😂
The first game ever confirmed to be on the switch is finally coming. It was worth the wait especially since we're getting the best version.
@@dylankohn Even if it is, they did optimize the visuals to make the game still look good.
Instead of just simply "lowering settings".
hecatomb well they did say that this version of the game was built from the ground up with the switch in mind so we will most likely have consistent 30 which for a game like this is honestly fine since it’s not very action intensive. If it ends up being 60 tho then consider me pleasantly surprised and impressed...
@@hecatomb1864 PC mods dont count...
Because mods make everything better.
But are made by the fans
@@hecatomb1864 rather have everything at once and OFFICIAL than a mod any day... Plus I can play on the go
@@hecatomb1864 LMAO I'm not gonna argue about mods, but don't even try to compare switch to a laptop. Laptop is more like you wanna move somewhere and play there, where with switch you can also play while moving
God, that overworld music always gets me nostalgic for the time when I used to boot up my PS2 and spend cozy afternoons with DQ VIII. I can't wait to get my hands on this
already pre-orderd the game. i have all the dq games (remakes then) 1 till 3 for game boy color, 4 till 6 on the ds, 7 and 8 on the 3ds, 9 on the ds again its the only version, 10 also (you can travel back to that world in this game) so yeah, the only thing i have to do now is wait. untill september
110 percent! .... flash back city to dq8....ahhh times were simple
I have a love / hate relationship with nintendo, I love the games brought to their systems, I hate them bc my wallet gets so much abuse
For real. My list of games to get is already adding up to like 300 bucks (DQXI, Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, Mario Maker, Astral Chain)
About to be broke
Dude Link's Awakening and Dragon Quest come out the same month, add that to the special editions of Awakening and I am boned.
you don't have to buy all of them right away
@@sirmel11 listen, your logic has no place here
Yeah Im getting DQVIII (finally) and FE3H this month, Astral Chain in August, Daemon x Machina, Links Awakening and DQXI in September, and Pokemon in November...my wallet hurts...
WOW, you can switch between symphony DQ11 and DQ8 music?!!! This reason alone is worth playing this game.
Really?!
Adonys Aguilar It’s only Non-Battle music though 😭😭😭
With paid DLC, that is, right? Still cool
@@Isaxus12 exclusively for Nintendo
@@chr1s415 exclusively for Nintendo.
Look at how well it’s running on the switch!!!!! Wooooowww!!
@DueMagician921 *built for the ps4, ported to the switch
I'm so happy to see an extensive game play video of this. You're right it looks very nice, especially if you play it portable on the small screen!
@DueMagician921 so you think they rebuilt this game from scratch just for the switch. You don't know how game development works
@@rushjl92 Development director himself said it was built from the ground up for Switch.
Is there going to be a difference between dock ans undocked? Like a graphical downgrade.
The hero: I am finally in smash
Smash community:BANJO KAZOOIE
The hero: am I a joke to you
Ikr. Dang Americans hating on Dragon Quest... even though im American
@@tylerhamilton7058 I would love to play the entire Dragon Quest series but I would have to waste at least 100 bucks
He is a joke
Japan tho?
In Japan it’s basically the other way around lol
Please support this game over Pokémon!! And this is from someone who's loved Pokémon over the years! :(
Can’t we support both?
Maxwell Shapiro it’s because the new Pokemon game is lazy
@@maxshapiro078 yes it is possible.
same... :(
but I'm a huuuuge DQ fan too lol
This is the approach Pokemon should have taken
Absolutely.
@@azurai3934 its probably gonna take another 10 years too get there smh
Ikr this game looks absolutely gorgeous while Pokémon SW/SH look worse than some late Wii games
Beyond hyped for this masterpiece
I agree !!!!
DQ fans unite!!!
So glad I passed on buying it for ps4 because of their trash synthetic music, to be rewarded with this for my switch lol
Double dipping!
Is the music improved? I’m barely watching the video
As a huge Dragon Quest fan, thank you Yuji Horii & Nintendo for bringing this masterpiece over to Switch... AND FOR FINALLY BRINGING DRAGON QUEST TO SUPER SMASH BROS!!!
Thank you sakurai
And big thanks to Koichi Sugiyama for all the wonderful DQ music and Akira Toriyama for the art!
I’ve been happily playing FF series with my Switch. This one will be the first DQ game to me, and I’m really excited for it :)
권용대 You will enjoy it dude, if you like XI you will love 8
Barney Stinson Got it! 😃
Dragon quest 11 is basically what Monster Hunter 4 ultimate which is to introduce more people to the series so that newcomers and veterans can be invested in playing future or older titles while still sticking to it's roots and expanding the fanbase and community.
Well, it's ok, Nintendo, it's ok. If I don't have any other option, I will play this game twice, one with normal graphics and the other one with retro graphics. Just because you want, Nintendo, not me.
Rafael C. C. There are plenty of hardcore fans that would play it twice.
@DueMagician921 Same. Beat it on PS4 when it first came out, didn't play the postgame tho. and gonna go thru it in 2D mode this time, and with the harder difficulty since it was a bit on the easy side on normal difficulty imo.
I am so hyped!
SPOILERS
Easy? Anne (I'm pretty sure that's her name) was insanely hard...
Is it just me or the commentary is pretty good for a tree house gameplay
They've gotten a lot better over the years
I like the girl playing she gotta Chanel or something
I have never played a Dragon Quest game, but this game has peaked my interest. Is this game a good starting point for a newbie like me?
Justin R I’m a newbie and I’m going to pick it up. If you’re at all familiar with how JRPGs work than you’re set.
Yes
The story is totally standalone. The game eases you into its systems, as well. Perfect game to dive in with.
I played all of them, and yes its a very very good starting point. The game is a masterpiece tbh.
Yeah it's good this is my first Dragon quest game on the ps4
Theresa did a really good job here explaining everything she had really good knowledge about the series as a whole too it would have been better if the other co-hosts had the same enthusiasm
I can't believe they added the Dragon Quest 8 music to this game, that just blew my mind 😲😫
JUST SAW THE PART WHERE THEY TRAVEL TO TRODAIN CASTLE IM IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME
DQ8 is a fantastic game, and it's awesome that the OST is getting added too
This isn’t a Definitive Edition. It’s a Definitive Edition S! Seriously tho, the amount of added content here is INSANE
Wow you actually see your characters walk behind you, and not just a guest. That’s awesome!
bruhhhhh the fact u can run the DQ8 travel music just brings back so much nostalgia to me!!! god i love this series, i rlly wish it werent so underrated in the west! its such an amazing game made with such detail and love.
I never played any dragon quest game before my whole life but this looks great tbh! Love the style think I'll pick it up day one,
@yatagarasu Get it!
I'm finishing it up on ps4 but it looks like i'm gonna buy it again and play it in 2d
My 1st was the DQ7 remake on 3DS.
Tht entry made me fall in love with the series.
Then I played the enhanced version of DQ8 on 3DS.
I liked it but not as much as 7.
(also played DQ Builders 1)
So I cant wait to play this Definitive edition of 11. :3
then dq8> dq 5 > dq9 > dq monster joker > dq11 > dq heroes series 1 and 2 > dq7(not finish for the moment) > dq4 for me ^^ (haven t play the 6 but it was for soon and i need to buy dq monster joker 2 too) then if you have time try to play some DQ it willn't be a waste of time ^^
Same, the game looks dope. This and fire emblem should keep me busy for awhile lol.
SO HYPED!!!!!
Much better than PS4 and PC versions in terms of content.
SquareEnix, GREAT JOB!!!!
Game Freak, WATCH AND LEARN how SquareEnix makes the game look good on the Nintendo Switch, NOT THE 3DS!!!
This is an AAA must-have game.
Alexander Volg Zangief Volg!
@@Buffypoodle, you know Hajime no Ippo?
Alexander Volg Zangief Great anime
@@Buffypoodle, yes. My favorite.
Alexander Volg Zangief If you like Hajime no Ippo, you’d like Ashita no Joe. I think the creator was influenced by it!
This looks gorgeous on switch
It looks better on the PS4.
@@MasterLee2011 I don't care.
@@MasterLee2011 well of course. The ps4 has 6x the processing power of Switch. The fact that it still looks THIS good is impressive.
@@MasterLee2011 no it looks better on PC.
But gameplay is better on switch.
@@MasterLee2011 Looks about the same, the PC version looks better but Switch has all that exclusive content and can play portably so perfect for jrpgs. Switch version is definitely the best.
I so freakin hype after watching this!!!!!!!!! I platinumed XI on PS4, put in 300 hrs, and rate it 10/10 - and I will absolutely do it all again on Switch with these new features!!!! Just hearing the new English terms “Tockle” “Tickington” “Echo Chamber” “Pastword” - big things for someone as obsessed with the mythology as I am. The 2D version of DQ VIII with SNES midi music!!!!! And you can play with DQ VIII music!!! So so so much here!!! I’ll spend hours using photo mode!
im happy to see someone who has the ps4/pc copy and isn't salty about the content coming to this for switch. Persona pretty much do that every release but they never get any complaints?
i have not played the pc/ps4 version and i can't wait to play this on my switch. This will be my 1st dragon quest game.
@@zenthepen Yea I played the first dragon quest man it evolved to greatness.
Z A congratulations!!! For real, I’d say this is the best one in the series and the best version. Yeah I get some of the saltiness from people, but I don’t share it for two reasons 1) I freakin love this game to death, so buying it twice is not gonna feel bad 2) I knew the switch version was coming, and had high hopes it would be a super edition, and considered waiting for it, but I got the game on PS4 because it went on sale and I wanted to support the game and I was dying to finally just play it. I knew the consequences of my choice before I made it, in other words.
@@grapes9h5 Yea I don't have a switch yet, If I ever get one I will get legend of Zelda botw, smash bros, dragon quest xl definitive edition and monster hunters generations. Maybe xenoblade chronicles 2 wish they do remake of the first xenoblade chronicles.
Logan W The Switch is the Bonn. However, if I didn’t have one yet, I may be tempted to wait until November, right before Pokémon, because by then, if they were going to give us a redesigned model this year, as is rumored, they will have released that by then.
Picking this up day one, and I am not even a DQ fan.
I wasnt a DQ fan before 11 and now I cant shut up about it. So jealous I didnt get to experience this superior version. You wont regret it.
you won't regret it dude. I'm kinda jealous you guys get to play the better edition. There's a lot of changes.
Great game to start with. especially with this better version
same lol
I stopped playing the Ps4 version as soon as I found out they were adding new content to the switch port. I cant contain the hype!
This game looks amazing!!
game is amazing
i gotta say they did a great job, but man do the environments look so much more lush on ps4/pc, here for example the grass and ground texture make it look basic and flat
it looks pretty epic with the extra details lighting and ambient occlusion and all on the others like CG at times, but least this has more content and def better done than witcher 3

Hi
"There's so much content for you to check out"
Pokemon: *sweats nervously*

*Dragon Quest V feels intensifies*
My GOTY last year. So freaking good. I'm buying this version on Switch for sure.
These three are the best part of the E3 this year! Thanks for the amazing treehouse!
I completely marked out when the orchestral soundtrack kicked in. This game is so amazing I can't wait to just replay it all over again
I put over 160 hours in to this game last year on ps4, and I'm already looking forward to doing it all over again on the switch later this year. As far as I'm concerned this game was already a masterpiece and I can't wait to experience the mountain of new stuff in this edition.
The between this the new manna game and countless other games the switch does seem to be the new home for fantastic rpgs.
The Switch is crazy now.
Dragon Quest XI S: has 40-60 hours story gameplay, the best characters, simple combat with layers of complexity, ability to play the entire game 2D/3D (both gorgeous), insane boss fights, passionate voice acting in 2 languages, fully orchestrated OST, post-game content, innovates itself & yet still remains true to itself.
JRPG "fans": *pretend to have played Persona 5 because it has cool music*
*play Pokémon Sw/Sh even though they complained about it for a year*
*literally ignore DQ's entire existence*
Fun fact: the Pokémon franchise was inspired by Dragon Quest V with its monster collecting mechanics.
DueMagician921
You not a damn Pokemon fan,If You don’t know Pokemon is Inspired by Dragon quest
Fricking Metal Slimes and Killing Machine won’t join my party!
I personally prefer dragon quest monsters to pokemon. Played (called at the time) Dragon Warrior Monsters over the pokemon games.
François Lourenço Every JRPG franchise under the sun owes its existence to Dragon Quest.
Dragon Quest has been the template for SO many JRPGs. It's like thé OG JRPG
I 100% this game on ps4. Truly one of the best games ive ever played, took me back to days and days of jamming dq8 on ps2 when I was young.
Best game Ive played recently aswell as Sekiro
I beat this game last year on ps4. Amazing adventure and characters especially Sylvando. I'm going to get this on switch just to replay it in retro mode 😍😍
Honestly, I wanna give Dragon Quest XI a try; seeing all the good reviews, gameplay and even seeing 4 DQ characters in Smash, as playable fighters, further pushes my curiosity of this franchise.
Its an amazing game!!
クラピカKurry only one of them is from dq 11. The rest are the protagonists from dq 3,4,and 8 respectively
From my knowledge, Luminary (or whatever) is from DQ11 and Erdrick is from DQ8; that is all I know.
@@kurry5040 Erdrick is from DQ3. The hero with the orange bandana is from DQ8.
Man, I hate not knowing something.
I am a simple guy
I see DQ11 on Switch, I buy.
so original
I think I’m gonna be a The Hero main in smash.
I'm gonna main every dlc fighter
So... Joker;The hero (Erdrik); and banjoo kazooie
This, but unironically
A B same!
Also going to main Eldrick because I first played DQ3 on the GBC.
Me to
I've played many RPGs in my life and this game is my number one in the genre now. Can't wait to play it again.
I'm so getting this. Definitely glad I didn't end up buying the Ps4 version (sorry, Sony).
The fanservice and content is out of this world
I think this is going to be my first Dragon Quest game. It looks great!
Im so glad i didn't get this for ps4, i can't wait to play it and then replay it in 2d.
How can you not love this game ? 😫
I cannot wait for this. XI is one of the best games of all time.
That 2D mode is insanely gorgeous! Gonna double dip this one :)
That sabercat is a call back to DQ 8 (where that music plays when you ride him), and ultimately back to DQ 5 I think. I can't wait to ride him with the DQ 8 costume... AND listen to that DQ 8 music that I just saw in the menu! I can't wait!
Same here! DQ8 is my fav game in the series.
Baumren's Bell bringing the DQ8 memories flooding back
Been waiting for a dragon quest game to arrive on the Switch I might end up getting this game yep.
I absolutely love SquareEnix for this, it's how a definitive edition should be done.
Thank you for putting proper effort into optimising it.
Started DQV and loving it. So hyped for DQXIS
@Weston Meyer oh well, but dq is all about the gameplay and story.
I want to play the *Hero* in Smash!
This game looks so well made and put together
And it only took the DQ team three years since announcement to finish. Meanwhile, Nomura can’t even finish his damn games because he doesn’t know how to properly make an RPG. Always needing someone to do it for him.
I've never played nor cared about DQ.
But this game looks amazing. I need it now.
The only thing I wished they added was that you could change controllable leaders instead of always android 17
It's possible in the 3DS version, idk about this one

Never played DQ but this looks seriously amazing. The graphics looks great as well!
If you like traditional turn based jrpgs you'll have a great time with any of the dq games. They are criminally underrated in America.
I love this game’s art style, it’s so gorgeous
Why do sooo many Americans hate on Dragon Quest being in smash?

Well played Nintendo. I'm completely sold.
Im Happy they're using actual orchestra for us westerners too, instead of the whole MIDI thing they do
DQVIII had the orchestrated soundtrack when it was released for PS2 in NA. It's really odd they didn't figure out getting that for DQXI.

I've never played a DQ game before... but this feature alone is gonna get me to buy this DAY ONE
This changed EVERYTHING for me. This game has just so much content!!!
THIS is how golden sun should be remade!
yes!
Absolutely
Not gonna happen. Even if it gets remade it won't look THIS good.
I'm pretty sure golden sun is dead. Im so disappointed....
Slap on the face to Gamefreak. This should be a wake up call, from graphics, to content, they got no excuse for S&S to be any less ambitious or complete of a game as DQ11, not with the budget and massive loyal fanbase they're about to turn away..
I wasn't planning on buying this game again, since i already beat it on the ps4. But dang that 2d mode sold me!
I just continued my journey of this game after I finished the demo. It is fantastic
I played this on PS4 and I’m hella excited to play through it all again on switch
holy wow they really put a lot of effort into this game. I have this on PC and this looks like its own version of the game. I'm really impressed. I think this is the best a game has looked on the nintendo switch.
I’m definitely putting on the DQVIII world map theme on when I play.... So much more relaxing and nostalgic:)
Dragon Quest Jesus this looks great!!! I’m definitely gonna try this series thank you Nintendo for getting this game more popular with the west because we definitely have interest!
I'm so sad i went for 150 hours on the normal version... I'm never gonna have the courage to do it again but this looks like such a better experience :(
Feeling kinda the same. But might play it again anyways lol
Stahp please Nintendo. My wallet is not ready! my body is but my wallet is not!!
then work it will only take a few hours
@@terraghost brother you should see the list I have of games I want...that will take more than just a few hours

Definitely one of the best games of this gen. I can’t wait to play it again on my switch.
Buying it again just for the 8-bit graphics and the original music. Reminds me of the lovely DQ3 my all time favourite.
16-bit
Changing outfits while keeping good stats, damn, wish the other editions had that.
The hero being added to Smash Bros. got me curious about this game, but with the demo out it has my full attention. It was so great that I know for sure I'll buy this day one.
I played the steam version, but will definitely pick up this one. Making it 2 play thrus on draconic mode with 2d and 3d. Hope u can marry Jade now! So excited!!!
This musics :O Nostalgic and beautiful!
These is just so much stuff jam packed into this game, love that Square and Nintendo put so much effort into making this version so unique and wonderful. There’s just so much fan service in here and call backs to the other legendary games in the series
Can't get over it. Such a good game this was. Honestly, anyone should try this game. It truly is one of those hidden gems
Just curious what was it you liked so much about it?
I just cant believe how many times they remade this game. 1: for pc/ps4, 1: for 3ds, 1: 16bit SNES like. Then a Switch Version! Its insane how much work Enix put into this game
Came close to buying this recently on PS4, glad I decided to hold off.
Man, this unbelievably cool. Really excited to get this version
Holy shout!
The game is excellent on PS4 and PC, but this Switch version... It will be perfection!
damn they really about to make me buy this game again 😔
pure。 same lol
@11:10 i like how Veronica got Mike Wazowski-ed
I played Dragon Quest XI on PS4 . Day one, and I was hooked. Ever since I beat it, it has left a huge non fill able void . I CAN’T WAIT TO PLAY IT AGAIN ON THE SWITCH!!!!!! I’m going to have to play it over and over again to experience playing it with all the different modes. I wish you could play as Erik in Smash , he’s so cool .
This is how Pokemon should have looked like
Oof that DQ 8 music really hit me in the face. Nice to hear it in orchestral form once again.
