Yes it is launching simultaneous on PS4 and 3DS, with an NX version to follow (depends on when NX launches).

This is the PS4 and NX versions


3DS version.

Who's up for some DQ?

It would definitely be a day-one purchase for me...

...too bad it won't be coming out in English =(

Stupid Enix being Enix...


Having regular view and sprite view at the same time is kind of weird, I don't really see the point. Maybe it's just one of the options you can choose from? I'd rather just have the nice watercolor map, like in IX, maybe with an option to doodle notes on it.

The Ps4 version is looking amazing, but they didn't show much gameplay wise so I need to wait and see more before I get really excited, but both versions are looking good.

I hope for a english version too!
And I don't see the point of making the game that way on the 3DS either. First I thought that the smaller screen was working like a map or something like that but it doesn't look like it. Even the battles can work on a more old school style depending on how you entered it... Need to see more about this too to understand what's the point.
