Dragon Quest XI: Spell of Restoration system revealed, more info & screens of Skill Panel system
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News, Screenshots | 2 Comments
Last week, Dragon Quest XI’s Skill Panel system was revealed via Shonen Jump. Today, the game’s official website was updated with a section on the Skill Panel system (thanks to Gematsu for the translation). It doesn’t really reveal anything new, though it does provide a look at some of the skills you can get, such as Camus’ “Slime Blow”, Veronica’s “Magical Awakening” and Silvia’s “Flute of Fascination”.
The website also revealed an interesting new system – the Spell of Restoration. This is essentially a sort of cross-platform save date transfer. By entering a code, you can continue your adventure at roughly the same point in the story on another platform. However, only the main character’s name and your progress in the story is transferred over – your party’s levels, gold and items will change to a pre-determined value based on your progress in the main story. This sort of save data transfer will initially work with the game’s 3DS and PS4 versions. However, it seems likely that the Switch version will be compatible with this feature as well, once it is released.

Dragon Quest XI: new Skill Panel system revealed
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News, Switch | 0 comments
Character growth and progression is always one of the key features of an RPG, and Dragon Quest XI has just revealed how you’ll be able to develop its characters. The latest issue of Shonen Jump (kindly translated by Gematsu) reveals that this system is called “Skill Panel” – each character has a Skill Panel that has unique skills and abilities and is shaped differently for each character. You can use Skill Points, which can be obtained via leveling up, to unlock panels, which in turn give you skills. The unique twist is that you can only activate panels which are adjacent to panels you’ve already activated, meaning that it’s crucial which “path” you take through the panel.
Here are some of the unique skills that the characters can learn:
Hero – “Giga Slash”: Mow down the enemy using a lightning blade
Camus – “Steal”: Steal items from monsters
Veronica – “Awakening”: Increases the power of spells
Senya – “Melody of Fire”: A flame of protection guards you
Silvia – “Flute of Fascination”: Charms monsters using flute sounds
Martina – “Vacuum Kick”: Hits the enemy with a powerful kick
Row – “Aesthetic Enlightenment”: Attains enlightenment and increases spell effects
