Dragon Quest XI: Pafu Pafu Never Die

nitus103091d ago

I first saw this in DQ8 on the PS2.

Basically, Jesica the female wizard can accentuate her boobs (ie. Puff Puff) during battle (you have to increase her sex appeal attribute) which can do damage to male enemies. Also, some of the female enemies can also do this to your party as well.

An additional feature of increasing Jesica's sex appeal is that some enemies will not attack but admire her thereby losing a turn which can give you the edge against tougher enemies.

Auron3091d ago

Do you think itll make it to the west or be censored like always?

nitus103091d ago (Edited 3091d ago )

DQ8 was rated PG in Australia while Bloodborne was rated MA and The Witcher 3 was R18 so even if DQ11 is rated R18 pretty much any kid can pick it up (usually by getting a parent to purchase it).

Yes, there is no problem with killing and maiming in a video game but the merest hint of sex and the SJW's throw up their hands in horror and scream out "Think of the Children". 😉

showtimefolks3091d ago

Will this game be using turned based combat or real time? I hope it's real time(personal preference)

Hopefully we will get some news about dragon quest heros 2 coming to the west

nitus103091d ago (Edited 3091d ago )

By "real time combat" I think you mean "action" such as what you get in games like Bloodborne, Neir, Nioh, Skyrim, The Souls Series etc. If that is what you mean then no it does not.

Using DQ8 as an example since the combat system does have some similarities it will be turn based but you can only control one party member at a time and if you wish you can micromanage all other party members although this can get tedious really fast (usually fine for the first couple of hours till you get used to the combat) so you would normally set stances for each party member that is not controlled by you to act accordingly such as "place emphasis on healing", "go all out", "don't use magic", "conserve magic", "defend", etc.

Note: You would also set a stance for your main party member in case you switch to a different party member.

In games like Final Fantasy 12 (gambits) and 13 (Paradigm system) you did have active turn based (FF12 could toggle turn based and pause active turn based) and each party member could be programmed to do certain tasks and you only take action on a member under your direct control if you need to alter something otherwise each battle will autorun. In fact if you have to keep spamming the "X" button you are doing something seriously wrong.

I doubt that DQ11 will have an autorun feature (DQ8 did not) but I am not sure.

showtimefolks3091d ago

Thank you I was hoping it would similar combat like dragon quest heros

SilverClock3091d ago

Thank God. All is right in the world.

ColonelHugh3091d ago (Edited 3091d ago )

For now. I'm waiting for the inevitable backlash from feminists who have never even heard of this series. Nobody tell them squat.

cash_longfellow3091d ago

They need to puff-puff this s%$t over to the west as soon as possible, ya dig?!

tulholdren3091d ago

Yes turn base and Puff Puff all is good. Now give me a good DQ story and cool toons to play I'm all happy. DAY 1

Nicely done. My favorite entry next to 8/9.

Zeldafan647d ago

My second favorite after 3 and just ahead of 8.

FullmetalRoyale7d ago

When I played this game I was in disbelief that I had somehow not played this franchise. I absolutely adored this game, and have since played two other entries. Been saving the two on 3ds. Next entry is easily a day one purchase.

Michiel19896d ago

I had the same man, the goofy aesthetics always kinda prevented me from trying it, but boy was I wrong.

andy857d ago

Keep 12 turn based for christ sake

andy856d ago

Me too after the comments a few years ago. Hopefully the success of recent ones changed their idiotic thinking

Melankolis7d ago

Good. Prefer 4-7 with DS & PS1 graphic though, modest yet stimulating imagination.

Miraak82 7d ago

Only DQ game i've ever played and one of the best games I've ever played , such a great experience . I wonder if the original ps4 release was included in these sales

RedDevils6d ago

Go play 8 if you like this one.

Miraak82 6d ago

i actually bought DQ8 on ps2 back in the day but mainly for the FF12 demo disc lol . I tried it but there were sooo many rpgs to play at the time that I think I played it for for a little bit before trading it in , maybe if they come out with a remaster/remake I'll try it out again

nevin1967d ago

Wait, no new PS1, PS2 or PSP additions?

CrimsonWing69967d ago

It’s frustrating how they barely update that library. I get that Jimbo hates old games, but c’mon, the classic catalogue with trophies was a big draw for me. Was really hoping to get some heavy duty classic PS1 games to platinum. Looks like they’ll do exactly what they did on PS4 with the PS2 library…

LucasRuinedChildhood967d ago (Edited 967d ago )

Games like Resistance: Retribution have already been rated as well so they have some stuff ready.

I think they still don't have a healthy supply of classic games for the next few months and they have to really spread them out ... so because of all those Yakuza remasters on Premium this month ... they made the decision to hold off putting up more PSP or PS1 games until next month. :(

They need clearer communication on this. They could have said that we can look forward to some PSP games next month or something.

FinalFantasyFanatic966d ago

I'm so glad I stuck with the essential tier, I'd be ticked paying more with the expectation that the classic catalogue would be regularly updated and built up. The classic catalogue was the biggest draw of the upper tiers for me, so not seeing any new PS1 games is pretty disappointing.

Ben Dover967d ago

While the VC remake is a turd, this is an impressive month.

SlothLordPootus967d ago

Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.

jeromeface967d ago

fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no

cluclap967d ago

It wasn't a mobile port though? The team that made them did the mobile games but if I remember the actual remakes aren't the mobile versions.

andy85967d ago

Playing it at the moment. It actually looks pretty clean. I'm on PS5 though, can't comment for other versions. I guess the updates helped a bit

VersusDMC967d ago

If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.

Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.

EvertonFC967d ago

"inside" indie game looks interesting for sure too

SlothLordPootus967d ago

Inside is great. If youve played limbo it's very similar

dazzysima967d ago

Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.

Have they even added any new trials since launch?

rob-GP967d ago

Yes, loads - they just stupidly havn't updated the list on the console!

I can't recall of the top of my head but there's been a bunch of games, probably about 10 or so. I'm gonna drop Shu another email and try and get him to tell the UX team to update the list. It's annoying when they don't update things

VersusDMC967d ago

I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.

MrNinosan967d ago

Running out of steam? This month is amazing, and the months before it has been great aswell.
At least 3 of the Dragon Quest games are great, Medium is okay, Assassins Creed is nice gems for those who missed put, Inside amazing, Castlevania superb, the Yakuza remakes are fantastic.

Lots of Trials has been added simce launch.
If you don't use the service or are interested enough to first check what's there, why comment?

Me being a Playstation guy and a huge JRPG fan, I can say that the only franchises I actually miss that are on Switch are The Fire Emblem series and The Xenoblade Chronicles series. I've played neither but I've heard good things. I've seen people play Xenoblade Chronicles games on youtube, and it seems like they think it's a big deal so I'm curious.

Rebel_Scum985d ago

As someone who doesnt like jrpg’s that much these days I went into Xenoblade Chronicles blind and had a blast. Reminded me of that golden age of 16-bit and 32-bit jrpgs. If thats the era you liked then it should hit the spot.

jznrpg985d ago

I only have a Switch for the games that don’t come on PlayStation . There aren’t a ton but there are some good ones.

repsahj985d ago (Edited 985d ago )

I agree with top 1, for me xenoblade chronicles 3(and 2) is one of the greatest jrpg to date. It's like the feeling of playing ff7 on ps1 for the first time again. Imagine if XC3 was done with ps5 graphics, that will be magical. I might get the xc remaster before the year ends or after I got the platinum trophy of GoW ragnarok.

jznrpg985d ago

I didn’t care for 2 as much . It’s good but 3 is sooo much better than so is the first one imo .

repsahj985d ago

yeah I agree, but much better than any recent jrpg releases.
