Thoughts on Dragon Quest 11?

Nice NPC mommies, but I haven't finished act 3 because of Trials of the Luminary.

I'm liking it, though I have to laugh that my friend gifted it to me for my birthday just days before the switch version was announced. Think I'm still pretty early in the game, just got to Not-venice

very good game but the beginning is slow and painful, also barely difficult if you have.a brain

i had fun for a while but got bored after the fighting tournament

i like the green girl that shows her feets

boring and generic with absolutely terrible music, even with the orchestrated edition
it's such a shame that the fantastic visuals and designs are wasted on the game, it had a lot of potential

get rid of the mini map

waiting for the S update on PS4 ;_;

I don't have a brain because I get fucked up by the boss of the trials of the Luminary in like 2 turns before I try to set up anything.

When is it coming out?

best looking game i ever played
just finish replaying part 2

I thought today?

the best Square Enix game of this console generation

September 27th

Why the FUCK did they fuck the music up so bad

waiting for it on switch

Very polished, but still mediocre game because of the generic story and archaic mechanics.

Sugiyama is getting old and he wants to sell his Symphonic Suites

Get better taste
youtu.be/_5nZV7_fWuI

at least you can switch to dq8 music

lol 3 months off.

That’s not how it works.
Blame SE for being cheap and not paying him for Symphonic, resetranny.

>not playing on PC with the orchestral mod

Is Dragon Quest finally getting its chance in the west? Will SE finally start bringing the spinoffs overseas?

Boring
goddamn it was so bad

farm metal slimes with hallelujah and electro light, some of the trial bosses are harder than the final boss
but still very easy once you reach 90s - mid 80s

Literally just use luminary greatswords and spam unbridled blade while the other 3 buff him. When it comes out on switch I'll do a real hard playthrough

>resetranny
Stop that. Don't bring that nonsense shitposting in here. And I honestly thought it was because he wants to sell his Symphonic Suites as separate CDs. Plus I honestly think DQ11 is not as strong as his past orchestrated tracks.

i fucking hATe the character designs, they are ugly dragon ball z shit

it's a fine game. 8/10.

same character designer, no?

Yes

Look tranny, DQ XI S has symphonic, Sugiyama doesn’t keep symphonic out of the games to sell CDs, stop being a retarded tranny.

Thanks.

Crazy.

you're ugly

wish he'd jump off that cliff
because going back around is a chore and it would be a nice return shortcut if not for the invisible wall

I’ll buy it on Switch

Boring jrpg, same garbage you played 15 years ago.

Literally the same dude retard.

I would like it more if the luminary was a girl and the love interest was a guy.

My favorite one

no it isn't. It's basic JRPG with Toriyama designs.

Well that lasted fast. Go home guys tard wrangler forgot to lock up his computer again.

But user...you literally press a button and cast BOOM in this game...

Its ironic because you're a basednut without a drop of test in your body you unironically think the faggots who like jrpgs arent onions.

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. A lot of polish (and I mean a lot, they thought of every little detail), comfy gameplay and standard but solid story go a long way. Only the music is, indeed, terrible.
Still, great game to get lost in. I didn't do those draconian settings (harder difficulties) and easily got past the 100 hour mark finishing 1 game. I for one don't think the extra challenge would be worth it, just annoying.

Same kinda except to add on to it that i dont feel the need to max all my stats in the game even though it is piss easy to get stat seeds this time around.

yup. the only ones worth playing. they all became bloated with useless mechanics afterwards.

fully agreed. The time they spent on the worthless crafting system, pep and the quests should have been spent on compelling world/dungeon design instead.

I couldn't beat Cell then I gave up because I didn't want to grind.

Attached: DqOP4d_UcAEhms2.jpg (1200x675, 201K)

God that is such a ugly boss design. It reminds me of something from Berserk?

its funny how people claim DQ is all about tradition when in fact all games up to 5 were bringing fresh ideas both in story and gameplay.

You can beat him at level 70 as long as you have the end game gear.

Where to start with the Dragon Quest franchise?

And it's not like muh orchestral shit will change anything when the compositions are shit to begin with. Orchestrated shit is still shit. And music is fundamental to how good a jrpg is.

I really liked 11, it's probably sitting in the upper mid tier for the main games, maybe in fifth position behind 8, 4, 3 and 7 (3ds).
It's awfully long though, so I won't be replaying it in a long ass while.
And I really liked the midi soundtrack too. I'm a eurofag so I grew up with the non-orchestral OST for 8, and I don't really like any of the orchestral soundtracks.

From what I've heard you can start with this one. No prior knowledge is required.

I don't get why they don't bring Builders to the PC.

I liked 7's 3DS remake.

1 is simple enough and the remakes cut down on the grinding, it'll make you appreciate the throwbacks a lot more in future entries. Alternatively 8 if you want something more modern.

I never really bothered with that, for me it was a nice warm bath after work late in the evenings for a couple of hours, it's chill and comfy. Don't listen to grinding or draconian quest fools, they don't understand the fun. The fun is just exploring the world and talking to big tittied NPC's.

How many hours does it take to grind from 58-70? I might do it just to get it over with.

Pretty sure the Switch version was announced before the game came out on PS4 initially.

based and lolipilled

Does this game play the same as Dragon Quest 8? That's the only one I played, but I never beat it.

So, I'm a 30 year old weeb who avoids english dub's of foreign content like the plague, no matter the country of origin.

I've had this game collecting dust on my PS4 dashboard since December and have been holding out on playing it hoping that the Switch content would come to it, but at this point if it does get a port odds are it'll be another situation like what Altus is doing with persona 5, and be rerelease as a full game rather than a dlc, and not even come out till next fall at the earliest anyway.

So my question is, how passable is the voice acting in the game? Should I leave it on, or just do what japanese players have been doing for decades and play without?

With a guide it took me around 2 hours to get to 99 so 70 should be a breeze. Just have to farm pep cherry things.

You just gotta approach the dub from the right angle. The game is a fable, a collection of bible stories, a saturday morning cartoon. There's gravity but the story is mostly light hearted, it looks and sound like it's made for kids but there's a bit more depth to it than that. If you can tolerate that then you're all good. The only character that really annoyed me was Serena and her kindergarten teacher voice and cadence.

11 is probably the one that's most similar to 8.
I liked the dub and the japs liked it it too, but some characters sound very british, so if you're not like me and you don't like british accents you're in for some trouble.

thinking about it the story is actually pretty serious all throughout but it's dressed in a way that seems naive.

Aren't its only competition in that domain Pokémon (shit), Octopath (overrated) and Persona 5 (a fucking VN)?

Most the people you quoted didn't even mention the game play.

Main problem is, most of the time they put little effort into their work and almost go out of their way to stress they're just there for an easy paycheck, they drain all the power from emotional scenes, and their idea of yelling or screaming something just involves then raising the tone of their voice a couple octave's.

Only show I've ever been able to sit through in english was Dragon Ball, and even that's guilty of the same shit.
>some characters sound very british, so if you're not like me and you don't like british accents you're in for some trouble.
Honestly I think my brain has automatically been trained to picture brits/kelts when it comes to medieval fantasy stuff anyway

never reply to wojak posters
its got heart but some of the longest islands are also the most boring.

just youtube a random cutscene and see how you like it, a small spoiler won't matter in such a large game. I'd say the dub is definitely above cheap anime tier, it's good.

SMT4A >>>>>> blandon blandquest

Never played any version of 11 but what I assume is the 3DS version of this same guy looks cooler.

I think 58 should be able to beat him. Did you use the sword of light to dispel his darkness aura?

When does it get good?

me too, word for word. and somehow it's still very special to me despite not knowing anything about the series. maybe it's a ps2 thing

I heard Toriyama kinda phoned it in for some of the designs, is this true?

Why does every Dragon Quest remove features? It's like they do it on purpose so they can add them back in a new installment claiming it's new to the series.
Fucking stupid franchise. 3 & 9 are the only good ones btw

I played on normal with no modifiers and around lvl 50 was when I got enough skills that I could and encounters started to force me to choose something other than aoe damage or heavy single damage. So sometime after the first credits, which is also when the story picks up.

Orchestral shit music is still shit music.

Oh and another thing thats honestly just a minor gripe is that gemma was so .inniscule to the story that i feel like she shouldnt be there and i should be able to marry ethier veronica,jade,or serena since i soent all my time with them and have no emotional connection to gemma at all.

boring repetitive game that dragged on for far too long. only reason i finished it was for the best party member Sylvando

Why is DQ so unpopular in the West?

Not legitimately, the switch content for the moment is going to be strictly exclusive, but it's Square, they never resist a chance to make money, and probably release it within a year to the other platforms.

That being said, odds are the PC community will have access to the content within a week or 2 of it hitting the switch, using less than official means as usual.

Because most american gamers are adhd mutts.

What the fuck is her problem Frens

American's are too impatient to enjoy turn based combat, they need more flash.

It's pretty great but the music sucks. The worlds were somehow smaller than DQ8 which
I honestly prefer. English dub was actually good, as expected with Horii directly in charge of it. The writing was pretty good and the twists like Hendrik and Veronica in the second half were genuinely surprising to me.

Any word on if the switch version will let us give a certain someone a better haircut?

DQ VIII 3DS had two additional characters that were nice additions, even if lacking presence in cutscenes.
Any info on new character here?

Got to the casino town but music is so bad that I just can't bring myself to play it anymore. Especially the overworld music is dreadful. It's a 30 second loop of nonsense. I hear talk about a mod that changes the music, but I'm on PS4 so I guess I'm out of luck.

Since when???

11S

4/5
Acknowledging nostalgia glasses but it was so fucking comfy playing a traditional JRPG made modern

It was not too hard, it was a comfortable adventure and can't wait for the switch port to play it again.

Thanks for the waste of a post spamming redditjak. Action combat is retarded and the worst possible choice for Dragon Quest, but the game isn't perfect and you're still retarded.

The dub is good unlike most games because the director of the JP game is in charge of it. He understood that the west wants voice acting in their games and orchestrated the entire dub specifically for the west.

VIII's postgame was terrible too

Get fucked

It isn't really advertised enough in the west, unlike Final Fantasy, which SE probably sees as what the west prefers, thus putting more money and manpower into marketing the "superior franchise" even though DQ is so much better than FF could hope to be.

>When they market right it always sells pretty well. DQ8 had the FFXII demo and sold good, nintendo went hard with IX and it also sold good. They absolutely fucked DQXI by having it come out more than a year later, and putting it right up against spiderman and tomb raider when journos had had the game for review nearly 2 months prior. Other than that its a tried and true JRPG thats not Final Fantasy so it has as hard a time as anything else not FF

but sad that the 3 auteurs involved with it are so old that it's probably the second to last entry we'll ever get.

I really hope Sugiyama drops dead first. He's a stingy old fuck and hasn't composed a good track in 10 years.

what the fuck are you talking about? dq11 is full of good tracks.

also funny that this hatred for sugiyama shows up after that whole resetera shitstorm about him. yet he was universally loved before that. really gets the noggin' joggin

Don't care about his stupid politics, I care about DQXI's flat out bad music. Seriously, are you honestly going to compare it to 8 or 4 and say it's better? Piss off. I'm still mad the DQ8 3DS port didn't get the orchestral music. Fuck off.

Yes, dipshit. Especially since DQXI re-orchestrates a lot of DQ3 and 4 tracks, which I loved.

Jesus Christ why do people have so much hatred for this guy out of nowhere? Is it because of his politics? Fucking leftists are the most hateful people on earth I swear to god
Sugiyama is a magnificent composer and he's delivered some of the best videogame music of all time, kill yourself you seething dickhead.

I'll never vote left in my life you projecting cock, not everything has to do with your idiotic /pol/shit. He's a greedy fuck and won't let the western releases have decent music so fuck him, and his talent is clearly deteriorating considering how fucking grating most of XI and honestly IX's soundtracks were.

Is it worth playing the PC version with the Switch version on the horizon?

I always drop DQ at postgame

I want this game, but I really want it on my PS4. i really don't want to get it for the switch even though i have one.

Not really, besides looking better the PC version is basically an objectively worse version.

Maybe mechanically, but that still doesn't make it superior to any FF game. FF8 will always be better than any DQ.

You'll never be a woman, degenerate subhuman.

Drink hemlock you retarded nigger

>thus putting more money and manpower into marketing the "superior franchise" even though DQ is so much better than FF could hope to be.
the classic FF games are better than the classic DQ games

I liked it a lot when I started, and once I got to the desert area, I was so over powered thst all the battles became meaningless. I honest didn't even see the draconian options when I started, and you unfortunately cant change difficulty mid game. So i started over and got burnt out becuae I played the same 10hrs twice. I'll probable go back to it in a year or two because i really liked it

Damn I wish I hadn't of missed this thread.
This is my first Dragon Quest and I've poured about 120+ hours into it and I have to say I have a love/hate relationship with it. The standard gameplay loop is solid for the most part but this game suffers horribly from archaic design. There is a terrible lack of information given to player such as scaling values, chance to hit, and general confusion to what every mechanic actually does. It's not even about discovery either because there are some skills in the game that you would NEVER find out how they scale without consulting a wiki. On top of that there is no favorites list to filter out the trash skills and the character progression in general is unbalanced. It seems they were geared towards specific styles of play while the other options were afterthoughts. It's a good game but I find it hard to believe that this is the game the Japanese skip work and school for.

Is there something I'm missing? Those lack of features would be heavily criticized in any other RPG, I didn't even say the game was bad.
On PC you can use the orchestra mod which makes the music a lot more bearable. It's a little underwhelming but serviceable and even really good in some areas.

It was fantastic until TIMESKIP. Fuck that ending. Fuck it fuck it FUCK IT.
I spent the entire game developing relationships with these party members then you're like "nah cya, gotta save the pedobait character". Fuck that. I became bros with Hendrik and Erik. The fact that the game forces you to leave all that behind just so we can have a "walk into the sunset" happy ending literally ruined the whole game for me. I wish I had never played the post-game.

yeah that sounds good. but when i'm facing a boss and this comes up:
>youtube.com/watch?v=Nu-Cj4uMM_o

Except they don't have random battles and the game doesn't require that much grinding even on the hard difficulty. I don't see why they can't add in basic RPG features that would make the game objectively better.

Unless it's after the final boss or something no the fuck it doesn't. Even if it does happen after that it's fucking 100 hours of the same grating overworld track leading up to that point.

I seriously can't believe this made it into a DQ game, it's so awful. I'm glad every fight that used it was a complete pushover.

You're cheating if you're taking DQ1+2 into account, games which predated FF significantly.

On my replay I'm stopping before going back and letting the game end there. It really does feel wrong.

The switch version will never look like that.

you have to do the combo shit and you can get 30 levels in an hour. it's super cheap just google it.

the fact that they added in some clever (and cheap) ways to avoid the grind is a massive improvement. I agree that the menu system is bogus af but it's 100x better than any previous game. If you thought XI's UI was bad, you have no idea.

I think part of the "archaic" design choice is trying to keep that god awful menu design.

The director himself was in charge of the english dub because he understood that the while JP audience doesn't want DQ to have voice acting the EN audience absolutely does because of expectations set by DQ8.

The voice acting in DQ8 is legitimately the best English voice acting in any Japanese media

Marcello's voice actor is fantastic
youtube.com/watch?v=uuqpgWfTZnc

It's great as fuck, but Xenoblade 1 is always going to be the peak of english voice acting for japanese games.

I haven't played it, got any examples?

Does the 3DS version have the same dub? I thought I remembered some people being really upset about it.

Sadly I really don't but it was basically a perfect storm of a great cast, great direction, plenty of time to get it right, which lead to a really amazing and compelling performance from everyone involved.

Triple A style JRPG. It really shows how little other games pour effort in their games compared to DQ11. Great game, very traditional but also very good.

The 3ds dub is really good for the most part, they brought back the old voice actors and added a bunch of new dialogue and it all sounds exactly like the vanilla voices.
There was a shitstorm about changing Jessica's voice actor though. Her new voice actor is nowhere near as good as the original, thats the only downside. Jessica's original voice is much much better.

As long as Yangus's voice is the same nothing else matters. As for Jess I think I can count the amount of times I've been impressed by a female english voice performance on one hand anyway so it's to be expected.

So you claim you've played the superior version of the game. Why would you be excited for an inferior mobile version if that were the case?

Here's a comparison between the two:
PS2 youtu.be/pqgok7F3B6A?t=146
3DS youtu.be/ZEHYrqAXs1s?t=924 (excuse the annoying kraut)

Because it has the SNES graphic version, better music, and more content? There's literally no reason to play the PS4 version anymore.

Enjoy your grainy, low resolution mobile graphics then I guess.

>repeated posts liking the game and mentioning another version of it they also want to buy
Yeah these are real people. This is easily the worst game in the series. Unless you are a flagrant homosexual there is nothing redeeming in it.

waiting for the full release in September

You might wanna check your color settings or something, OP, Trunks' hair isn't the right color.

Personally I really likes Jess' original voice. The new one sounds really bad, like she's just reading a script.

I'm glad we get more mounts. I was so happy to get the great sabre cat back and there's some winged wolf, too. I love it.

>"Man, I can't play this TURN-BASE GAME if it only have 30 FPS AND LOW GRAPHICS!!!!!"
Who fucking cares? It's not an action pack game, so why would any of those thing matter?

DQ is the lamest game ever. I don't know why they got in something as big as Smash

That looks fucking beautiful. Too bad the switch version will downgrade it to hell and back from that. Hopefully they add the new content on other platforms. I'd hate to have to buy my 1st ever 3rd party game on switch because of bullshit like that.

>Fire Emblem Three house
>A game that haven't even been release yet
user, please telling me you're not this stupid believing people will fall for this bait?

Just wait until Switch version come out, it will have you dual audio for you.

I wanna fuck Sylvando

Holy shit I didn't even realize FE3H was on there, that's especially embarrassing because it literally looks like one of the best games in the series right now, and Fates will eternally be the worst game no matter what. Also fucking retarded that BotW is there, among a shitload of others. TMS#FE too but nobody is going to agree with me.

i dont think we will ever see another PC dragon quest. we got the two shitty heroes games and XI, but i dont know how well the PC version sold vs ps4,3ds, and soon switch

I disagree. But you SMTfags are close minded so I won't even bother.

Hate the music, maybe I'm a classless brainlet but fuck it, this is the first game of thousands I played where music made me quit a game.
It'a blaring garbage.

From someone who has never played any jrpg as an adult (played a few as a kid), I thought it sucked. I had played for maybe an hour, felt bored out of my mind. I trash talked it on Yea Forums a few times too.
But, one day I moved locations, internet is no faster than 2mbps on a good day, so I started playing single player games and decided to boot it up and give it 1 more shot. Its actually not that bad. I remembered how much I loved golden sun as a kid, and It started growing on me. I'm about 9 hours in, and so far I haven't felt bored again.

I'll give it a 7/10 for now. So far I only have erik as a team mate, so I'm sure it'll get better as more members join the group.

It gets a lot better than it is at that point, I think you'll end up liking it a lot user.

goo-d shit

VERY fucking mad that i can't play anymore after act 3 is completed

I seriously don't get the appeal behind turn based combat

Maybe... just maybe... you need to debuff or dispell something once in awhile.

artist name?

kerplunk is actually good in this game

generic trash that sois will gobble up

>this is your neesan
Thank you, based Japan.

It's a lot more fun than mindless mashing while enemies attack you at random intervals. There's actual structure to it.

XI sold really well on PC

as opposed to "mash x and occasionally y"?

I wonder how long time series fans thought when 11 revealed the ties to 1-3, that must have been fucking sweet. I wish I was a DQfan from way back. I want to feel that kind of joy.

i got the pc version with the music mod

should i even bother with the switch version?

t. born after 2005

Switch is going to have extra content, orchestral music is being redone so it's context appropriate, since some of the orchestral music feel off for the mood since they adjusted tempo for live performance and the 2D mode, which is great for nostalgiafags.

Also bonus areas based on DQ1-10. So you're beta testing if you get anything other than Switch.

but the switch versions graphics will be vastly inferior right...

will they release the switch versions music for pc?

You made a little spelling error there :)

Gorgeous visuals, relatively fun story, albeit with pacing issues... but holy shit the lazy bloat the game has. A full third of the monster roster is just identical enemies with red or green eyes slapped on - and most don't even have changed loot tables. There's so much shit in the game that's there just purely there for the sake of having "more" with zero actual substance. Also, awful fucking horseracing. Not difficult, just fucking awful. Sugiyama's worst original tracks ever, amplified by shitty MIDI format. Oh, and the cast was mostly mediocre.

I actually like the game overall, but it is pretty low-tier for a DQ game. At least there wasn't a fucking awful job system.

They're not committing to releasing anything, but mods will make it so. You won't get marriage options and choose who to live with or get to use DQ8 music on the fly outside of battle on PC though

>marriage
wait what?

Hey look I can simplify things too
>Dark souls
>spam r1 and b
Lmao so easy

>Sugiyama's worst original tracks ever, amplified by shitty MIDI format
And then the return of the fucking shitty ones from other games, like clowns farting youtube.com/watch?v=Nu-Cj4uMM_o

You can get married, but there's only one option in base game, but in the Switch version you can marry more characters.
Dragon Quest protagonists get married, sometimes even have kids, it's kinda neat. Not like those virgin Final Fantasy kids.

so some fable-esque stuff? sweet

well fuck guess switch version it is then....... goodbye 1440p 144hz

Because dumbass, it's about strategy. You don't always have to debuff or buff yourself, it's about how approaches certain events in different ways.

They said a long time ago that the extra material would be available as an update to the PS4 and PC versions. Did they walk that back?

>DQ1 end
Princess won't let you refuse taking her with you and fucking a kid into her as your reward

Hey retards, 600k sales in the West is great. The games don't need to sell 100m copies to be a success, 11 was built on the Unreal Engine and I doubt it was very expensive.

might be a good game for all i know but I dropped it when I got the boat because the combat speed is so fucking slow, and I'm not paying $60 for a toggle that should have been in the base game or at the very least a later patch

I hope you can go gay, I need to fuck Erik and let that bitch of a sister know who he belongs to.

They've never confirmed or denied it either way.

And DQ IX sold 1M for the DS. XI sold less.

I lost interest when I got the ship only to find that I'd explored 90% of the world already and all that was left was a handful of islands with nothing of interest on them and maybe one more main location.

so pc version is essentially a cash grab

>Obtain experience from blowing away monsters on the horse.

so... you can level up in no time?

PS4 3DS and PC versions were a beta test.
If you bought them, well, you got robbed chief.

fucking SQ

You have to be stronger than them to knock them over without triggering a fight, it works just like Persona 5. You'll only be able to take out trash mobs, so grinding will take more or less the same amount of time.

That's because IX was marketed and released by Nintendo. I guarantee you DQXI Switch will outsell all the other versions.

Those sold over 5 million units in Japan. I wonder if the Switch version will do anywhere near as well.

Yes they did. Actually the same day or the day after they announced all the Switch features. It was an interview with either Horii or some random SE exec in Japanese.

You got a source on that?
Because otherwise they've said nothing committal either way.

>Yes they did. Actually the same day or the day after they announced all the Switch features
source me so i dont have to buy the switch version

Square just can't help but fuck over first day buyer. FFXV and the Royal edition BS, Kingdom Hearts 3 another incomplete game that is going to be fixed with DLC and now they're even fucking up Dragon Quest.

It’s great. So much so that I’m going full retard and replaying it on Switch when that version releases.

Same, was pretty disappointed that they weren't bringing over the 3DS version, so I'm getting my sweet 2D nostalgia from Switch.

Could this video help?

>Kingdom Hearts 3 another incomplete game that is going to be fixed with DLC
Don't kid yourself KH3 isn't going to be fixed

>KH3
>Fixed
lmao no, it's been a mess since the start, you should open your eyes and realize it's always been shit

Kingdom Hearts has never been good, it was just the nostalgia you had for Disney and Square crossover deluding you into accepting mediocrity.

And now that you're older and hopefully can think instead of being a brainless moron who accepts anything, you've realized how wrong you were.

Go back and play any previous game in the franchise, sure they might have decent mechanics... for a Square game, but they're far from good as an action game, and they've always been a jumbled mess of proper nouns and friendship tropes.

Grow up kid.

>Kingdom Hearts has never been good, it was just the nostalgia you had for Disney and Square crossover deluding you into accepting mediocrity.
This is blatantly false, I played through the entire series in 2017 and had never touched the games before and immensely enjoyed 1, 2, and to a lesser extent BBS.
3 is garbage

will the new version have some more challenging end game stuff? The post-game boss was fun, but I need more.

Hate the character artstyle
toriyama should stop drawing

it's never been a good art style and I don't know why people like it
i don't have anything against it inherently but i just don't think it's good, and it looks even worse in DQ than it does in other games

Should I use her or Trunks in DQIV?

Fantastic game. Would love to play through it again with additional content, but I don't have a Switch, so fuck me I guess.

And thats a good thing

Get the Switch version.

Looks OK as a manga. Like, I love the character designs in Sandland.

God, how I hate this faggot.

I want to mating press Serena.

Should I play it now or wait for whatever new edition?

The definitive Switch version comes out by the end of September, wait for that.
