Dragon Quest XI was just announced to be coming to Steam & PS4, which I guess is pretty common now but it also marks the first mainline Dragon Quest game to come to Steam! Here's the store page:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/742120/DRAGON_QUEST_XI_Echoes_of_an_Elusive_Age/

If you've never heard of or played the series, it's a lot like Final Fantasy but with more... fantasy.

It's certainly nothing like this game.

Anyone as pumped as I am? I hope they re-release the originals on Steam at some point, so long as they don't give it the Chrono Trigger treatment...

EDIT: 20% off the pre-order version on GMG today with the code "PAYDAY20". Just pre-ordered mine :)

Hype?

Added to wishlist in hopes it'll be good, but...it's SquareEnix, so chances are the port and post release support will be terrible. Cautiously optimistic is the best I can muster for their PC ports these days thanks to their quality control being some of the most consistently terrible of any major publisher on Steam.

It won't be an iOS port, so that is a relief.

I completely agree that the ports have been lackluster (at best). Their newer games at least have a ... better track record.

I'm going to end up pre-ordering because I'm weak but there's certainly the possibility it will have issues. Hoping for the best!

That's great. I've never played a DQ game but I have a friend who loves them, especially VIII.
If we are lucky we could get the other ones as well. And if we aren't as lucky we could get the other ones as well with terrible ports by Square Enix. But hey, I'm optimistic!

Haha, you said it. At least the DQ mobile ports.are pretty decent (despite being vertically-oriented!). So long as they spend a few minutes on them, they'd probably end up alright.

Of course there's the timeline where they port the best versions of each game, add new features and all that but odds are low of ever seeing that.

Same! Hoping there's a new line of nvidia cards by then... been holding off on a sorely-needed upgrade.

I loved Dragon Warrior (what it was known in the US back at the time) when I was growing up. I played 1-4, and then did not really keep up as the name "changed" and I never really owned a Playstation system until recently (and even now, just a Vita).

But I still very much love Dragon Warrior / Quest, and am super-pumped for a PC release. This gives me tons of extra motivation (not that I didn't already have a good bit) to get my new PC built well ahead of time so that I'll be absolutely ready for this.

That was my start as well. Got the original DW as a freebie for subscribing to Nintendo Power and was hooked ever since!

Good luck with the PC, I'm hoping for nvidia's new line of cards to come out before then so I can be super ready :)

This is great. Love the series and I am glad that japanese developers/publishers are willing to give this a try We miss out on enough great games already. (Persona,Yakuza)

Edit: oh also thanks for the ga. =)

Definitely, loving the newer trend of seeing formerly console-exclusive type games coming to Steam. Good luck!

Haha, I hear ya. I bought the XB1 & PS4 at launch out of habit, expecting there'd be enough exclusives I'd want to justify it... to date I own two games for my XB1 and not a single one for my PS4 :(

Guess I'm officially out of the console race as well. Wouldn't be surprised if Kingdom Hearts 3 (and the remixes) made their way to the PC at some point too.

yes probably KH will be on pc in the future
X1 is dead now , all games are cross plateform .
Ps4 has some games but it's ridiculous if we compare to old gen .

I would not call the X1 dead. Because of the cross plattform it might even be the better choice if you are just into gaming (i mean, look at prices for gpu atm... for a mid-low card you pay as much as you pay for an x1 or ps4)

I don't have any console but there would also be some games I would love to play on ps4

indeed price of hardware is crazy , but if you have a decent PC the x1 is useless .

I love so much playing Dragon Quest on my Nintendo DS. I have dreamt about playing a dragon quest game on PC.
I will buy it for sure. But I will wait 1 month at least to not encounter launched bugs.

So much HYYYYYYYYPE !

I don't have that much self control (especially given the pre-order bonuses) but given SquareEnix's recent undertakings, can't say I blame you.
