Dragon Quest XI delisted on Steam and PSN following release of DQ XI S: Definitive Edition

why the hell would you even want the original anymore? the DE is just so much better in every way it fixes a lot of flaws the original had as well as add new stuff. so what if it's switch graphics it's still worth it you'd be mad to want the old version. also the 4k version of the original on the ps4 was fucking terrible it had so many graphical flaws like when you were running through the grass because it was fake 4K

 

Completely aside from the topic of the thread, but I always love the smiley faces appearing next to the dead bodies.



He's just so chirpy.

 

That's fucking dumb. Extra content is nice and all, and I don't really care about the gimped graphics that much (though it certainly looks like ass vs the original IMO), but delisting the old version? C'mon now Squeenix, you literally could've just slashed the price and made some extra cash off people who can't afford whatever they're charging for the "DE"/don't care.

 

There's a pinned thread in the Steam forums for XI S that explains to users how to close the game. That pretty much says all that needs to be said about the new port.

 

DON'T PANIC GUYS, you can still re-download the game from game list.

 

Seems not that weird to me. (Must be overlooking something for this to be that news worthy I guess?)
Definitive edition SHOULD be better then OG edition right?

 

Yes but it's literally a port of the Switch version so the graphics are worse than the OG one.

 

Ahh that explains a lot ... thanks for clearing that up!

 

So they're releasing the Switch version, slapping a 40$ price on it, and then delist the original version,
When they could INSTEAD just release the Definitive Edition as an upgrade, for a slightly cheaper price, for those who own the original version.
My problem is that I have to buy the same game twice(first time when the OG version was the only choice) in order to fully experience all the content that was at the time, either japan-version exclusive, or simply didn't exist.
Normally that content should be offered as DLC.

I've been a loyal DQ fan for years, but looks like this is the end of the road.

 

And why should ppl buy the game twice? I already paid the original in full price Hope this shit gets cracked. Only bright side is we don't need to use the Orchestra mod for the original anymore.

 

Why would you need to buy it again anyway?

 

B/c its a separate game. The original is nothing more than a blueprint now

 

IF you bought it first.

If not, well...you know...

 

I got the original and I'm not planning to buy the definitive edition, I'm good with the "blueprint".

PS: I guess the same could be said about Persona 5 / Royal.

 

Same here im patient even tho it has DRM I'll just wait it out. Or deal with the switch version. Just prefer PC b/c of mods support

 

extra content's for worse graphic's? that is the stupidest market gimmick i have ever seen in my life.

 

I'm just mad owners of the original don't even get a discount of any sort

 

That is that kind of Behavior I do not like and thats it for me...no more Dragon Quest for me....
Instead of giving Owners the Chance/Option for an cheap Upgrade (from the Option to make an DLC I do not speak at all..) ,the Game is "vanished" and you can buy it again,because of the additional Content...that is simply .

What a Shame,I like the Dragon Quest Series,but with this Behavior - Thank you,I am no longer a Fan of it and I will no longer play it....they do not need to be surprised if the Game is maybe now mostly downloaded "illegally"....

Usually I do not say this,but now - Square Enix,I will never buy a Game from you.

If someone can help me please:
Is there a Way to give my Dragon Quest XI Game from Steam to another User ? Maybe someone have now more Fun with this Game.

Thank you.

 

It's not the scummiest de-listing Squeenix has done. That still goes to Final Fantasy Dissidia Duodecim mysteriously vanishing from the PS Vita storefront the day Dissidia NT launched. And of course now that you can't buy older games on the website any more, you'd need a PSP to access the PSP store (assuming that's still a thing), buy it, and then download it onto your Vita. The saddest part is that Duodecim is a far better value prospect than NT. More depth, characters, an actual plot, and it's only 8 quid. No wonder they didn't want people knowing that still existed, it blows NT out of the water.
