On the Switch, though, you can play in Japanese with English subtitles, which I prefer. The original Western release featured fully voiced characters with exaggerated regional British accents, which some people like but… well, let’s just say they aren’t my cup of tea. This is also comfortably the best version of Dragon Quest XI from an audio perspective. I’d recommend playing through one once you’re done with the other or just keeping two separate save files. You need to save at a church to change modes, at which point, the chapter restarts. Unfortunately, you can’t switch between the two at will. It is like getting two games in one (or at least one game and its several-decades-later remake in one). You can play the entire game in 2D as if it were designed for the Super Nintendo. This is the first time it’s been playable in English, and it’s a great addition. It’s also wonderful to see it in 2D, which is a major selling point for Dragon Quest XI S: it includes the 16-bit mode from the 3DS version. It’s a great-looking game, and it’s wonderful to see Akira Toriyama’s unmistakable art in HD. But if you’re playing this game for the first time, know that the Switch’s visuals are more than good enough.
NI NO KUNI SWITCH PC
They’d just say, “Wow, that’s the best-looking Dragon Quest game ever.” Stick to the PC version if you want the absolute best visual experience. If this game had only ever come out for the Switch, no one would think it was poorly optimized.
NI NO KUNI SWITCH SERIES
“I think I can still go strong for another 20 years or so.” - Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii on the future of the series But the Switch port is like an elaborate Blu-ray box set, combining the best of all prior versions and adding great new features.
NI NO KUNI SWITCH PS4
I played the 3DS version when it came out in Japan (it was never released elsewhere), then I played the excellent PC version when it first came out in English it’s basically the PS4 game with better graphics and performance. It’s also by far the best version of the game.Īt this point, I’ve played a lot of Dragon Quest XI across various hardware. Here we are more than four years later: the NX is now the Switch, and Dragon Quest XI is indeed on it. A “Nintendo NX” version was also confirmed, but no one knew whether it’d be closer to the PS4 or 3DS iterations. Square Enix showed off two separate versions back in 2015: a beautiful PS4 game with an expansive 3D world and a 3DS game with much simpler 3D graphics that could also be played in 16-bit 2D. It was the first game announced for the Switch - before anyone even knew what the Switch was. (Okay, and a goose game machine.) The system’s JRPG library just keeps growing, and following the overdue return of Final Fantasy VIII, we have two more releases - and they’re some of the best yet.įirst, there’s Dragon Quest XI, which comes out today.
