Square Enix has released some new details and screenshots about Dragon Quest XI. We will only talk about the 3DS version here today, though naturally some of it will apply to the Switch version as well. The following info has been translated by Gematsu.

The protagonist

A young man from the village of Ishi. On the day of his 16th birthday, he learns that he is the reincarnation of the “hero” that once saved the world. He carries of the burden of a major mission as well, and leaves his hometown in order to confront his fate.

The protagonist has a birthmark on his left hand. In times of crisis, this mark glows and a mysterious power awakens inside him.

Emma

A childhood friend of the protagonist who was born on the same day. They both underwent their coming-of-age ceremony together on the day of their 16th birthday.

Camus

“I believe in it – the miracle of the hero.”

A blue-haired thief who the protagonist meets on his journey. Although somewhat rude, he has a strong sense of duty and a warm heart. He’s reliable and experienced in the ways of the world and supports the protagonist on his journey.

Head past the break for some more details and screenshots:

Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda recently made some comments about Pokemon and Switch during an interview with Spanish site MeriStation which gained quite a bit of attention. However, we thought the entire interview might be worth sharing, as it’s interesting in its own right. And thankfully, Nintendo Everything reader Gumbatei was up to the task of translating the comments into English.

Masuda, along with Shigeru Ohmori, talked a fair amount about Pokemon Sun/Moon and the series in general. The two talked about Alola Forms and whether they’ll return, the future of the franchise, and more. A question was also asked about potential Pokemon Diamond/Pearl remakes, but the response is about what you’d expect.

Head past the break for the translated comments from Masuda and Ohmori.

Even though Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon arrived in November, a new guide is being prepared for the two games. This one, called the “Alola Region Pokedex & Postgame Adventure Guide”, is scheduled for February.

Here’s the synopsis:

“If getting all the Pokemon from the Alola region is your goal, or if you simply want the latest info on all these amazing Pokemon, then Pokemon Sun & Pokemon Moon: The Official Alola Region Collector’s Edition Pokedex & Postgame Adventure Guide will be your go-to for the info you need!

And if you think you’ve done everything there is to do in the Alola region, then think again! Many adventures are waiting for you after you’ve completed the main story in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, and this guide will take you through them—including the appearance of the mysterious Ultra Beasts!”

The new Pokemon Sun/Moon guide includes data for the Alola region Pokemon plus information on moves, abilities, location, stats, and Evolutions for each one. You can also expect lists of TMs, items, Berries, and Z-Crystals—including where to find them. Finally, an exclusive creator interview will be included.

Amazon is listing two versions of the guide. You can pick up the standard version or collector’s edition. By going with the collector’s edition, you’ll get the hardcover as well as “8 high-quality double-sided lithographs of concept artwork in a protective sleeve”.
