FUN FACT: The narrator for this trailer is none other than MARK ELLIOT!!!!!!!!! The same man responsible for narrating movie trailers coming to VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray from Disney Home Entertainment, as well as narrating shows for FOX and CBS networks.

There are RPGs, and then there's Dragon Quest.

I love how the trailer isn't just random "gamey" stuff, it's totally marketed towards fans of the genre. Like, instead of "flashy epic battles against terrible foes" it's "perfectly balanced battles". And if you're the target audience, you know exactly which one is more promising

Dragon Quest 11 S; Echoes of an Elusive Age; Definitive Edition. Yup, that’s a square enix title alright

Finally, orchestral music that doesn’t require modding.
@Manganization 5 years ago

Having the orchestrated soundtrack in already makes this the best version of the game.

My PS4 and I are super-jealous right now! But I'm really glad this game is going to a console where people will give it the attention it deserves.

Only boys complain about graphics. Men cry at seeing that there's a 2D mode.
@richardaaron4454 5 years ago

I kept saying if the Switch has a "Retro Mode" like Japan had on the 3DS I would play this again, so I'm buying this again day 1 and looking forward to beating it in 16-bit mode. EDIT: Wait a second, we get the orchestra soundtrack on this version? This is The Definitive Edition by far.

Best moment of a great Direct. <3

Yup. This is a hard push from Square Enix. It seems those Smash rumors might be true after all...

Woohoo the old school graphics are in!!!!!! I was so mad we didn’t had the 3DS version exclusive to Japan because of that, but now I can finally buy this game! :D
@grapes9h5 5 years ago

I just got the PS4 version and beat the game (including the real post game ending boss) and have played it for 150 hrs. At one point I was gonna wait for the Switch version, but I feared it was never coming. And now here it is, with the 16-bit mode and orchestrated soundtrack, and Japanese VO!!!!!!! And it’s potable! Screw it I say, that’s well worth me buying it again, and playing it all over!!!

@Geneolgia 5 years ago

Both 3D and retro 2D 16bit styles and ochestrated music outside Japan, i don't know how they did it but this is the definite edition of Dragon Quest 11!

In one single trailer Nintendo has sold Dragon Quest XI S better than every single Western trailer from last year. I really don't know why Square Enix was so confident they could do it themselves when they have never been able to sell Dragon Quest in the West before. Going to Sony would have really helped, even just getting a trailer into Sony's E3 conference. At least Nintendo is doing it this time around, hopefully it does a lot better in the West on Switch.
