The original DQXI is one of the best PC RPGs, sez us, so building on that sounds good. DQXISEOAEADE pumps up the JRPG with some good stuff. New quests focus on the stories of your companions. You get to play with Japanese voices, if you want. And can switch between the original synthesised soundtrack and an actual symphonic version. A Photo Mode lets you pose characters and such. New side-quests visit past Dragon Quest worlds in a 16-bit style. And you can even turn on a “retro” mode that magically makes the whole game into a throwback 2D JRPG.
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes Of An Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is coming to Steam and the Microsoft Store on December 4th. It’ll be £30/€40/$40, which is £10 cheaper than ye olde 2017 version currently costs. However, they don’t seem to be offering an upgrade discount to folks who bought it the first time. It’ll be on Xbox and PS4 too. Whatever you call it, hit our E3 2020 tag for more from this summer’s blast of gaming announcements, trailers, and miscellaneous marketing. Check out the PC games at the PlayStation 5 show, everything at the PC Gaming Show, and all the trailers from the Xbox showcase, for starters.
