Guesttheres some small scenarios inbetween acts 1 and 2, i really enjoyed them
rab’s is emotional and has whats probably my favorite boss fight in the franchise, really adds to his character
erik’s is, for lack of a better term, really REALLY hype -

GuestYou miss out on some QoL, the sidestories which are like two hours total, and the shittily implemented 2D mode. Also you miss out on the orchestrated OST.
On the other hand, the graphics are significantly better in the original

GuestGive and take.
Fidelity is better in the original, but textures and lighting are better in S.

GuestYou could have Googled it.
I only played the S version and reading the comparison lists I found these the most important:
S has
1, Japanese and English voice over.
2, A shortcut menu for important things (it still doesn’t have zoom)
3, Proper (orchestrated) soundtrack
4, Various options to make the game hard
5, You can play through the ENTIRE game in classic 16 bit mode
6, Extra story bits for your companions
7, An extra segment where you can visit past Dragon Quest worlds (only in 2D – available in 3D mode too)
8, Battle Speed settings / Help with hidden treasures / Photo mode (shit)
9, You can see your companions while exploring ingame and chat with them
10, You can craft anywhere and buy ingredients anywhere. This fucking huge, saves TONS of busywork and enables you to forge high level stuff right away in the middle of exploring.
11, You can equip outfits regardless of actual equipment, so you can lewd the girls without any drawback
12, Call the horse anywhere, you can buy a cheat item for the horse races if you don’t want to get minigame cancer
13, Extra mounts, extra outfits
14, New trials and missions
15, You can marry a bunch of characters instead of one.
To be honest the original version is missing so much I probably would have had a very low opinion about it if I played that. Instead I absolutely loved the S.-

GuestAll this or an orchestral soundtrack with some higher quality textures. Dragon Quest XI S is a million times better in terms of story content and quality of life improvements alone.

GuestI just recently realized the scene where you fight Jasper’s ghost as Hendrik in Act 3 wasn’t in the original and was added in XIS.
Which is insane since that scene is amazing at closing out their story and I can’t imagine not having it.-

GuestThese aren’t small things that they added, some shit outright affects story and gameplay. Also zoomers HATE jrpgs. They just pretend to like Persona 5 because they want to fit in on social media websites.

GuestNo shit, all Jrpgs are casual, at most they require light use of tactics that can 90% of the time be overcomed by bruteforcing, use of broken strats and retarded amounts of grinding.

Guest>Draconian settings
Super strong monsters is the only important setting, and is in the original
>new items
Must be really impactful if you aren’t even naming them
>War Drum (let anyone buff attack)
Homogenization is not a good thing
>God Bird Staff (make Rab a BAMF)
Homogenization is not a good thing
>Jade becomes a completely different type of attacker with her new equipment
Homogenization is not a good thing
>two new superbosses
Don’t care, the base game already pushes the combat system to the limit when played on hard mode
>New Game+ that is essentially chapter select
Why would I ever want to do this?So no worthwhile gameplay differences whatsoever, in exchange for downgrading to Switch-tier graphics.

GuestI’ll never buy a DQ game again. Solely because of the garden gnome business practise they did. How you sell me a game and then not even long after make a "definitive" version and offer no discount to get it for OG players and try force me to buy it all over again while delisting the original.
Games good but Square can suck my dick.-

GuestThe game was already half price at launch compared to the original. The discount was baked into the price.

GuestI don’t know why you bought it day one on PS$/PC really. They already talked about how they were doing a Switch version months and even years before the release of the main game and it would come later.
For that same reason, you wait for the late release as they would add more stuff or make it at least more complete that the day one base game. -

GuestCome and play on Xbox. If we get something it is always the definitive edition because nobody cares about the platform for the first time. Also high chance it launch in Game Pass like DQ.

Guest>QoL improvements and new content
All worthless. If you didn’t play the PS2 version, you didn’t truly experience the game. The visual downgrade isn’t even the worst thing about the 3DS version of 8, it’s the massively reduced difficulty.-
