Greatoneshere Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 This could have been the definitive version had it carried the previous PC/PS4/XB1 assets and simply added on all the bells and whistles features-wise of the Switch version. But no, now it's still a choice between graphical bells and whistles vs. features bells and whistles. *sigh* And I don't even care about Dragon Quest, it's just stupid.

They're calling it the Definitive Edition. At least the price is downgraded too. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1295510/DRAGON_QUEST_XI_S_Echoes_of_an_Elusive_Age__Definitive_Edition/ If you could import saves from the Definitive Graphics Edition, I'd consider getting this version on sale for the extra content but I don't see that happening. Knowing SE they won't even bother giving you an in game option to quit the game so you'll have to use Alt+F4 if you're not using a Switch Pro Controller (Steam support for it lets you bring up a menu with the Home button which has an option to quit).

Keyser_Soze Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Maybe if the game gets review bombed enough they will make the graphics good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 You know, they fuck up almost literally everything they work on, but I have confidence they somehow won't fuck up something about FF7R episode 2! Reaaaaal confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the screenshots in the tweet one vs the other? I’ll have to look on my desktop because on my phone the only difference is some self-shadowing on the environment and character models. Were the textures reduced too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without it being reduced on Twitter (despite opening the photo directly), I can see it now. However, it looks like the bottom image is either being compressed or rendered at a way lower resolution than the top (look at the aliasing on the main characters head in the bottom image vs it being clean in the top) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is literally downloadable right now on Gamepass. How about some 4k vs 4k direct screen comparisons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned the switch because it's a port of the switch. And it says that it looks different graphically from the version that is already out there. It says the resolution is the same so I get the impression it's uprezed from the switch version which probably wouldn't look good. 6 minutes ago, Spork3245 said: The game is literally downloadable right now on Gamepass.

And the preload is only 110MB. Maybe this is a metric to help Microsoft gauge interest in JRPGs and whether to buy Mistwalker and make a Lost Odyssey 2.

It does appear that some of the shots that twitter guy posted could be Switch resolution. Which is why I specifically posted the image of Square themselves saying visuals will differ because it is a Switch port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base consoles set the standard today, just as they did last gen. This isn’t even that. It’s a port up of a port down with marginal effort. Multiplayer paywalls aren’t relevant here. Nevertheless, I’ve been against then since the very beginning. By all means, let’s see one of the manufacturers drop theirs and I’ll be throwing the confetti.
