Dragon Quest VIII, the eight main entry of the Dragon Quest series released a while back on PlayStation 2 in all regions, is going to be released on Nintendo 3DS in two months in Japan. The new version of the successful role playing game won’t be a mere port of the original PlayStation 2 release but include several new features.

New Dragon Quest VIII 3DS gameplay footage detailing some of the new additions included in the game has surfaced online a few hours ago thanks to the V-Jump Official YouTube channel. The new video, which can be found by going at the end of this post, features game producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto as he details changes and additions such as new monsters, like a new Slime monsters, new blue chests which will respawn over time and more.

Mr. Fujimoto has also explained why Dragon Quest VIII 3DS won’t support stereoscopic 3D on fields. Apparently adding 3D support would have required double the memory and it would have made it difficult to implement visible enemies on the fields.

Dragon Quest VIII 3DS is going to come, as mentioned at the beginning of this post, with some new features not included in the original release such as two new playable characters and new story scenarios. The two new scenarios, which will be called “Dhoulmagu’s Past” and “The Hero’s Childhood” will include some new details on the main villain’s and hero’s backstories.

The next entry of the series to be released in the West will be Dragon Quest Heroes, a spin-off game developed by Omega Force, the team behind the Dynasty Warriors series. The game has been praised quite a lot in Japan thanks to its gameplay experience so it’s really good that we will be able to play it in English later this year.

Dragon Quest VIII 3DS has been confirmed only for Japan at the time and there are no news on a possible Western release of the game. We will let you know more about the matter as soon as more comes in on it so stay tuned for all the latest news.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
