Original DQ XI no longer on sale :(

[curly_nuts]

I wish Square didn't delist the original DQ XI. Though this is the definitive edition, the original was better graphically. It would have been better to let buyers decide...

This is such a stupid move from SE... they could make so much more Money with both Versions on Steam

Letting buyers decide is pro-consumer, SE decided to go complete anti-consumer the moment they get to "decide" all previous paying customers get shafted for supporting the game at launch. In other words having to pay for the game twice with graphical downgrades, or no extras for us.

they would now add OG Version to GOG

Literally, we knew this was going to happen 12 hours before it did. There were signs even going back to a week ago that they were going to pull it.

Nobody listened. Too busy discussing the same pointless garbage.

Yes, that is it. It doesn't have the QOL upgrades, but the graphics are better

[Crismac]

I will get that then. Thanks for the reply.

That's cool you figured out how to get it. I bet there are a lot of people who regret not picking it up. The DE is arguably better, but to lose the graphic fidelity is a big blow

[Crismac]

Thanks, I have wanted to buy this game for a while now and was waiting for the release of the DE. I never pre-order for this reason, surprises.

Thanks to you and everyone else to bring up the graphic's are sub-par from the original.

You're welcome. The graphics aren't terrible, but it would bother me to know that i'm not getting the best experience out there.

Just to say, DQ was never about graphics as anyone who played 1 through 7 can attest. But since 8, the wonderful anime art has really enhanced the experience and compliment the story and world fantastically.

It would be nice to see if modders can tweek the DE graphics to match or surpass the OG's graphics.

I agree, I never have played this series. I have played all FF series. So have no clue how it should really look. We all have PC's and we want the best graphically experience available not a downgrade. Especially on a DE version. If I wanted a switch version I would buy a switch.

You're in for a treat. DQ is a venerable and enjoyable series and this game is no exception. mechanically, it's like FF, but storywise, DQ stories actually make sense. I think if FF fans were to be truly honest, the games are weakest when it comes to story.

[Crismac]

Sounds good will buy it today, And yes FF stories could be better.

Ok, just downloaded the original game for steam. Will try it out Monday. Thanks Curly for the help.
