SquareEnix has announced that Dragon Quest XI has sold 8.5 million copies worldwide. This means, at least according to official numbers SquareEnix has released, Dragon Quest XI has sold more than Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy XVI.

serena owes me sex
and gemma is the canon wife

Where the fuck is dragon quest 12?

Does that include all versions of S, the og release and the 3DS demake?

Yes. It's all the versions combined. Though we don't know if they're counting Steam/Digital sales. Square has a weird habit of excluding those from sales data. They wouldn't release digital sales data for FFVII Remake for example. So you never really know.

It would have sold at least twice as much if it were an action rpg

3DS demake

still mad it didn't get a western release

Im so fucking puzzled as to how there isnt even a partial translation floating around.

Serena is my wife, btw

action rpg

they tried to pull that with IX already, but japanese fans' autism prevailed
and I hope it continues to be so

Eleven owes Jade a relationship
And Jade is the canon wife

9

action rpg

What the fuck are you talking about? 9 is a true blue jrpg

The early version of Dragon Quest 9 had an on field action combat system. This is where they got the idea for Fantasy Life (same company). You can see it here.

But when they showed the first trailer for Dragon Quest 9, Japan went absolutely apoplectic and demanded it go back to turn based. And the DQ team complied. It went on to be the best selling DQ in Japan.

That's not shocking considering it was on everything including the Switch for longer. Still nice though

Based Japan

Based gooks, this looks like shit

just bop the enemy with your nerf sword til it dies

Pokemon rumble lookin ahh game

Turn Based game

Sold more than Rebirth.

Sold more than XVI

Oh no no no no no.
Yoshi-P bros!!!!!!!!!

Fwiw dragon quest monsters 3 outsold rebirrh and that shit is clearly a scaled up phone game

played remake and rebirth - enjoyed it

played XVI - enjoyed it

played DQ - enjoyed it

I have better taste than all of you
because I enjoy kino
and you seethe and cope ;)

So... even having a bigger worldwide appeal than DQ, FF will always be SE second fiddle franchise?

Why is she almost naked, isn't she a child?

Alright, DQbros. I'm playing all the FF games right now but I sorta want to play all the DQ games afterwards. What's the best version of each game? Original for all of them? GBC ports? Modern remakes?

And turn based gameplay wins... again.

Any might be good.
Just stay away from the DQ8 3DS version. It's censored to the hell and back.

She's like 19 or 21 or something. Her twin sister is as well. She just got turned into a loli.

yeah, it's disappointing, I really liked how it looked
I guess people were waiting for the inevitable switch release (as with basically every other japan only 3ds game) and since it includes all the stuff from the 3ds version plus more there was no point translating that

There is, it's just being hoarded so that (You) can't play it.

I really liked the chibi artstyle

Just get the most recent version of every game.
I'm serious. Dragon Quest is one of those series that actually improves with each successive version. Unless you're a graphicsfag. In which case you might want to stick with the PS2 versions of 8 and 5.

1-7 just play the remakes. Play 8 on PS2. 9 is only on DS. 10 is never ever. 11 has an upgraded version that's the same on every system so you can get Switch or PS4 or PC, it doesn't matter.

Dragon Quest I and II are getting new remakes in October. But we don't know if they're going to change anything or just be graphical upgrades.

since it includes all the stuff from the 3ds version

Factually incorrect. It in fact missing things from the 3DS version.

SquareEnix has released, Dragon Quest XI has sold more than Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy XVI.

Kek that's actually hilarious. Good timeline.

Relevant

Yeah and its a worse game
also it was released like 10 years ago

demake

Wasnt 11 released on both 3DS and PS at the same time?

Good for them.

B-but Anon Babble told me Dragon Quest was a dead franchise and FFVII Remake was the best game ever made!

Someone has lied to you Anon...

It's censored to the hell and back.

there's a patch for most of this (the costumes mainly, there's one cutscene that's toned down), but definitely play the PS2 version first
3DS fine for replays if you don't mind the graphical downgrade and being stuck on babby mode (no random encounters), because it adds a lot of neat new stuff

3DS adds a bunch of good new stuff. Including two new characters to play and improved level scaling (fixing Jessica's terrible levels). But the change in graphics and music is kind of a deal breaker. Since the biggest appeal of Dragon Quest VIII is the atmosphere. It would be like if someone came out with a new version of Chrono Trigger on NES.

It's also stupid they wouldn't give us the Japanese voices. When so many other games including DQXI does.

Slimebros we are the strongest jarpigs we're going to get it all, all the pandering is ours

She's 17, but in there world she's old enough to drink.

Believing FF7R fanboys.

That's were the mistake lies.

same and it's a pity that style is stuck on the only version that's japan only
huh
seems I was assuming too much what with it being the "definitive edition"

fixing Jessica's terrible levels

but on the flipside her whip skills got nerfed, at least based on all the complaints I've seen

They wouldn't release digital sales data for FFVII Remake for example

That's because it was shit

She's 17 years, 364 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes old, you sick fuck!

Veronica wins again!
