I heard this is different to the switch version
Like there's missing DLC that only is Switch exclusive, is it true?

The only difference is that it runs better and looks a bit better.

There are a lot of differences between the original DQ11 and the Definitive Edition, but as far as I know the Definitive Edition on Steam and Switch are identical except for performance/graphics settings and a cosmetic outfit for one of the characters in the Switch version (a wolf outfit for Erik). From what I've read that outfit exists in the PC version too, so you can unlock it with a mod/dev console anyway if you really want it.

So no story exclusive bits for switch? I heard there was a few ones. That's the only thing I'm worried about kinda want to experience the whole thing.

The switch version and the definitive edition on PC, have all the new quests, 2D mode, new area's and stuff. Either one gets you everything, so you are safe to buy either one to get the complete package.

I'm guessing you're working on long out of date info.

The Definitive Edition, which is the forum we're on, contains the exact same game as the Switch version. The Switch version was released over a year before the DE was elsewhere, so a lot of early articles about it will likely reference it being Switch only.

But you can rest easy, if you buy this version you will get everything.

Game, Story and mechanics wise it’s identical to the switch but there is some DLC content you can only get on the Switch and PlayStation either right at the beginning or exclusively.

The content you can only get with specific platform DLC is:
- The Lupin Look costume for Erik (item: Wolf Wear) only available on Nintendo Switch
-Vest for Success (Arriviste's vest: +10% gold -max cap of 15G, Elevating vest: +10% Exp -max cap of 75 Exp) only available on Nintendo Switch
- Kaiser Axe ( Kaiser Axe: can get item through normal play through on all versions) PlayStation Exclusive DLC

There is other version specific DLC that give the same items as given in by the Definitive Edition DLC but of varying quantities (both less and greater in amount).

In all honesty you only really miss out the special costume for Erik, the other things although helpful don’t give too much of an advantage.

Hope this helps answer your question
