Kadokawa Director: Dragon Quest XI Will Outsell Pokémon Sun & Moon And Final Fantasy XV Combined . April 14, 2017 . 7:00am

Kadokawa managing director Hirokazu Hamamura talks about the “destructive force” that is Dragon Quest sales in Japan, and his expectations for it to outsell both Pokémon Sun & Moon and Final Fantasy XV.

98 comments Read >

Former-Famitsu chief editor Hirokazu Hamamura, who is now the president & CEO of Enterbrain, Famitsu’s publisher and brand company of Kadokawa Corporation, of which he serves as the managing director, shared a few words on his expectations for Dragon Quest XI sales. [Thanks, Mantan Web.]



During a recent developer’s seminar in Tokyo, called “The Present Conditions and Prospects of the Game Industry,” Hamamura made an appearance and shared his expectations of Dragon Quest XI selling over 5 million units in Japan.

He continued by saying that he expects the game to outsell both Pokémon Sun & Moon (currently at about 4 million in Japan) and Final Fantasy XV (about 1 million in Japan). Hamamura added during the presentation that Dragon Quest XI could possibly sell even more than what he expects.

While 5 million sounds a bit too ambitious for any title in this day and age of the Japanese gaming market where giants like Pokémon are topping out at 4 million and Final Fantasy at a million, Hamamura says with the eventual release of the Nintendo Switch version, as well as the influx of new fans gathered from the smartphone titles Dragon Quest of the Stars and Dragon Quest Monsters: Super Lite, he expects to see big numbers.

“The ‘destructive force’ that is Dragon Quest software (sales) is on a completely different level. There will likely be people who buy both PS4 and 3DS versions as well,” added Hamamura.

On a side note, keep in mind that Japan hasn’t had a traditional single-player main-numbered Dragon Quest release since Dragon Quest VIII for PS2 in 2004. That said, a lot of fans have been hungry for something new for quite a while now, and as we all know, the Japanese have a heck of an appetite when it comes to Dragon Quest. It should be interesting to see how Dragon Quest XI performs this summer and beyond.

Dragon Quest XI releases in Japan on July 29, 2017 for Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4. The game is in development for Nintendo Switch but a release date has yet to be announced.

The Rare Emperor – King of Delcadar

He is a character with accurate judgment and quick decisiveness who will execute a strategy based on the situation in order to secure victory.
—As a wise man, the King of Delcadar knows of the hero very well.

Spend Skill Points to learn skills.




The latest issue of Weekly Jump reveals a new “Skill Panel” system for Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time.


The Skill Panel is a new system by which the characters of Dragon Quest XI can grow. The Skill Panel is lined up with unique skills for each character.

Here’s an example of some of the unique skills you can learn using the Skill Panel:

• Protagonist: “Giga Slash” – Mow down the enemy using a lightning blade in a skill exclusive to a hero.
• Camus: “Steal” – Get items from monsters.
• Veronica: “Magical Awakening” – Increases the power of spells.
• Senya: “Melody of Fire” – Puts on a flame of protection.
• Silvia: “Flute of Fascination” – Charms monsters with the sound of a flute.
• Martina: “Vacuum Kick” – Hits the enemy with a powerful kick.
• Row: “Aesthetic Enlightenment” – Attains enlightenment and increases spell effects.

Another new system will be introduced in the issue of Weekly Jump that follows this one.

Dragon Quest XI’s New Battle Feature Lets You Go In The “Zone” For Powerful Co-op Skills. May 2, 2017 . 1:30am

We previously saw a bit of Final Fantasy in Dragon Quest XI’s “Skill Panel” system and this time it looks like we’re getting a touch of Chrono Trigger with “Co-op Skills” and the powerful “Zone” mode.

15 comments Read >

We previously saw a bit of Final Fantasy in Dragon Quest XI’s “Skill Panel” system and this time it looks like we’re getting a touch of Chrono Trigger with “Co-op Skills” and the powerful “Zone” mode.

In this week’s issue of Jump magazine, Square Enix revealed a new battle system feature in Dragon Quest XI called “Zone” that powers you up and also makes it possible to perform super powerful cooperation skills. [Thanks, Game Kana.]
​

In the middle of battle, we see the protagonist glowing with a blue aura, which is the sign of him activating “Zone.” While in the Zone, the protagonist’s stats temporarily increase, making it a good way to finish up enemies while in a pinch.


It actually lasts for quite a while and will carry over into the next battle until it disappears. Taking big damage and such increases the chances for Zone to activate.

​

When the protagonist goes Zone, it makes it possible to perform “Co-op Skills.” This allows you to perform powerful attacks using the power of allies. There are plenty of skills that you can use based on their spells and abilities.

However, do keep in mind that even monsters will be able to go Zone and pull off Co-op Skills of their own.

Here’s a look at some of the Co-op Skills you’ll get to pull off:
​

Camus and protagonist’s Co-op Skill “Falcon Dance,” an attack that involves the two heroes dancing around the enemies with consecutive swift sword strikes.

This one is called “Rose hurricane” and it involves everything from magic to Sylvia’s love with a special pose.



​

This one is called “Giga burst” and it looks like it’ll be one of the most powerful attacks, as it’s a Co-op Skill that involves all party members, in order to land an ultimate attack from the protagonist’s radiant strike.

Dragon Quest XI releases in Japan on July 29 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo 3DS. The game is also in development for Nintendo Switch.

[FONT=&quot]Dragon Quest XI details Zone and Link systems[/FONT]
Published 3 days ago. 48 comments.

Power up and unleash coordinated attacks.



Square Enix has updated the Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time official Japanese website with screenshots and details on the game’s “Zone” and “Link” systems.
Get the information below.

■ Zone
“Zone” is one of the new powers that appears in battle. Zone is a state of heightened concentration that temporarily increases your combat ability. If attacked by an enemy, the protagonist and other party members can enter Zone allowing them to turn a sticky situation into a prime opportunity.




—Entering Zone surrounds your body in a blue light and increases your ability! The effect can carry over to the next battle until it disappears.




—Even if you take heavy damage and find yourself in a pinch… entering Zone could be your chance for a counterattack!


\

—Zone is even more promising when several party members enter it.

—Monsters can also enter zone! Stay focused until you win!

■ Link
If you enter Zone, you can acquire even further power. By combining your power with those of your party members, you can unleash powerful Link techniques.



These can become the key to defeating formidable enemies!
—If you enter Zone, you can unleash a Link technique.

—Silvia can light up the protagonist’s sword with fire. Link techniques differ depending on the combination of party members, learned spells and skills, and the number of people that are in Zone.


How you organize your party will directly affect which Link techniques you can unleash.

—A full party Link! Battle while trying out various different Link techniques.

—Monsters can also unleash Link techniques.

When you defeat a monster in battle, there will be times that you can mount it. By mounting a monster, you can go places that you couldn’t go before. During the game, you’ll borrow the power of various monsters in order to overcome terrain-based obstacles.

Published 52 mins ago. 3 comments.

Create and strengthen equipment.






The latest issue of Weekly Jump has first details on Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time‘s new smithing system.


The “Mysterious Smithing” system allows players to create and strengthen equipment. That includes weapons, armor, and various other forms of equipment.


Here’s how the process plays out:

• 1. First, you must prepare for a Mysterious Smithing by obtaining a recipe. You can find recipes on book shelves and other locations.

• 2. After that, you must prepare the necessary materials, which you can find in various locations such as on the fields.

• 3. Start the Mysterious Smithing. Strike away at the ores to fill up the gauges on screen, and aim for the success zone. There also appears to be “special skills” that give you an edge in smithing.

By obtaining items called “Restrike Gems,” you can strengthen the equipment you already possess.




Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time will launch for PlayStation 4 and 3DS on July 29 in Japan. A Switch version is also planned, but has yet to be shown or dated.

—At camp, use the “Mysterious Smithing” set to begin smithing!

—Complete the smithing process to get your new equipment!

Use “Restrike Gems” to Strengthen the Equipment You Already Possess

If you’re successful in creating equipment, you can obtain “Restrike Gems.” Since your equipment won’t disappear even if you fail to upgrade it, you can freely try to reforge it.




—If you successfully reforge your equipment, it will become stronger.

—If you get a “reform reaction” (the text at the bottom of the screen), you’ll get closer to a successful upgrade.

Plus, a look at some new towns and a mysterious creature


Square Enix revealed 25 minutes of new gameplay footage of Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time alongside new information and a nostalgic, live-action trailer during a “Countdown Carnival” live stream from Osaka today.
The following new details were shared:

■ Samadhi, the Desert Town
A desert town called Samadhi was revealed.


■ Q&A
01. In making the 30th anniversary title and 11th numbered title, was there anything that you were inspired by?
Before the development of Dragon Quest XI, the staff went to Machu Picchu, so you may see its atmosphere reflected in the map.




02. What is that white monster on the Dragon Quest Life website?




These monsters are called “incarnations of time.” You’ll frequently encounter them in various locations throughout the game world. Horii couldn’t say too much, as it would be a spoiler.




03. We’ve seen Ishi Village and Delcadar Kingdom, but what other villages and towns exist in the world of Dragon Quest XI?

There are about 20 bases, including villages, towns, and castles. A Japanese-stlye, Jipang-esque “fire town” was shown, pictured below. A major event will happen here.



■ Restricted Play System
Dragon Quest XI will have a “Restricted Play” system, allowing you to play the game with certain restrictions. A screenshot was shown where shopping was restricted. Even when you talk to the owner of the shop while playing with shopping restrictions, you won’t be able to see what he is selling.

[FONT=&quot]Dragon Quest XI introduces Veronica and Senya’s spells and weapon skills, Homura Village[/FONT]
Published 7 hours ago. 5 comments.

Veronica the attacker and Senya the healer.


The latest issue of Weekly Jump has new information about Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time party characters Veronica and Senya, as well as the Homura Village first teased last Saturday.
Here are the details:

Veronica
Veronica hates being treated like a child. She can equip two-handed staffs and whips as weapons. Despite her small size, she is a tomboy who won’t flinch in a fight no matter her opponent. She can unleash beyond-powerful attack spells that prove her use as the party’s attacker.
Spells she can use include:

• “Kafrizzle” – A powerful spell where a pillar of overly-hot flames attack the enemy.
• “Gilaglade” – Heat up and clear away the enemy with the earth-shaking flame that is this powerful attack spell.

Her weapon skills include:

• “Berserk Magic Circle” – A special skill using the two-handed staff that strengthens spells.
• “Extreme Dragon Strike” – A special skill using the whip that consecutively strikes the enemy.

Senya
Senya is a healer who can cure her allies. She can equip spears and sticks. She has a kind heart and gentle personality. In contrast to Veronica, her language is awfully polite. Her easygoing and gentle personality may even make Veronica impatient at times.

New information from V-Jump.

​

The latest issue of Weekly Jump teases the 3DS-exclusive StreetPass feature in Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time, as well as introduces eight new monsters.


While the latest issue of Weekly Jump gave us a look at the PlayStation 4-exclusive “Bowgun Adventure” and “Magic Slot” casino game features of Dragon Quest XI, V-Jump teases the game’s 3DS-exclusive StreetPass feature. StreetPass involves mysterious creatures known as “Incarnations of Time.” It seems that players can visit a village where the Yocchi tribe of these creatures live.





There is also a screenshot showing a number of different colored Yocchi fighting with different weapons. As for what will happen by passing other players, what sorts of facilities exist in Yocchi Village, and the Yocchi’s actual purpose, we’ll hear more about that in the June 26 issue of Weekly Jump.

​

The eight new monsters are pictured in the second and third rows of the left page pictured above. They include:

• Slot Machine – A man who wanted to win at the slots, turned into a slot monster.
• Drum Goat – A chubby monster and master of the drum. It plays the drum and summons monsters.
• Fairy Bat – A bat that takes advantage of its cute appearance to attack its enemies with charm.
• Ghost Parasol – Attacks humans who pick it up mistaking it as an umbrella with its sharp claw.
• Ebi Metal – A monster whose thick, hard shell protects it like metal, which an ordinary sword stands no chance against.
• Drago Bishop – A leader of the dragon world, whose wealth of knowledge makes it a skilled teacher.
• Megaton Keil – A monster who makes various poses to show off its muscles.
• She-Golem – A golem made of coral, said to have been made as a destructive weapon long ago.

Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time will launch for PlayStation 4 and 3DS on July 29 in Japan. A Switch version is also planned, but has yet to be shown or dated.
