During their Dragon Quest Paradise News Station event at Tokyo Game Show 2018, Square Enix has announced the Switch version for Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is getting a bit of a make-over to its name. Now titled "Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age S", the "S" in the title represent the words "Switch", "Special" and "Seiyuu" (Voice Actor), according to Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii. This could suggest that the game may receive Japanese voice-over work, to which the original Japanese version did not get. Though no release date was provided, Horii has stressed the Switch version still requires a bit more time in the oven before it's ready to release.

Check here to read our full review of the game.

Around over a decade ago now Dragon Quest VIII was first released on the PlayStation 2.  At that time, I didn't know much about Dragon Quest.  My cousin had bought the game in order to get the Final Fantasy XII demo that came with it but he never really got into the game.  I asked him if I could borrow it to play it and he pretty much just gave it to me.  I remember when I first started playing the game and was immediately blown away by the music at the title screen.  The world was vast and beautiful, the characters were charming and the game was just a blast.  While I never fully beat the game, the impact the game had on me stuck. Fast forward to today, and the latest Dragon Quest game is releasing world wide: Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age.  If you haven't seen already, we released some gameplay footage from my journey which you can watch here. My experience with Dragon Quest XI has been nothing short of amazing.  The game begins with you as the Luminary; a reincarnation of a force of light and good chosen by the tree of life, Yggdrasil
