Yuji Horii teases Dragon Quest XI announcement to be made “in the coming days”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 12 Comments
Earlier today, the Dragon Quest-themed attraction opened at Universal Studios Japan. Series creator Yuji Horii was present, and shared a message during the opening ceremony.
About Dragon Quest XI, Horii teased:
“Everyone in the staff is working incredibly hard on it. I believe we’ll have some kind of announcement in the coming days, so please look forward to it.”
The common consensus is that Dragon Quest XI will finally be receiving a Japanese release date soon. Square Enix has previously spoken about wanting to have the RPG out within the series’ 30th anniversary, so the company has until May 27 to launch the game. It is possible though that XI won’t be ready until later in the year though.

New Monster Hunter XX details & screenshots: save data transfer, daily quests, more
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News | 0 comments
The release date of Monster Hunter XX in Japan is fast approaching – in fact, it’s out this Saturday. Famitsu magazine did one last big feature on the game before its release, and while most of it is recapping old info, there are a couple of new pieces of info in there as well. Adam “Gaijinhunter” Evanko has kindly translated the new stuff.
First up, if you own save data from Monster Hunter Generations (presumably only the Japanese version), you can partially transfer that over to Monster Hunter XX. Here’s what will be carried over:
- Story progress
- Hunter rank up to rank 8 (you get to keep titles from higher ranks)
- Name and looks of your character, although you are given the option of changing them once during the transfer process
- All weapons, pieces of armor, items, palicoes, money
- The “cleared” status for normal quests
And here’s what’s NOT carried over:
- Everything that was in progress when you transferred, such as Hunters for hire currently out
- UI settings and filters
- Guild Card settings
- Play time
- Event quests and challenge quests
Famitsu also shared some information about two important breakthrough quests – you will want to hunt Congalala to access the high rank village and Diabolos to reach G rank.
There will also be a feature that lets you turn a max rank weapon into a G rank weapon, though further details weren’t mentioned.
Finally, a new feature will allow you to have convenient items such as pickaxes and rations delivered to you while you’re out on a quest. Also, the previously announced Sailor Moon collaboration will be available starting March 24th.
Head past the break for some screenshots that show off these new features, including the one that lets you keep the stats of gear while changing its appearance:
