Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time
According to Gematsu, Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii recently shared new details on Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time during a CEDEC 2016 presentation.
The development of the RPG’s scenario is now fully complete, and Square Enix is currently implementing maps, scenarios, and other elements. It’s now at the stage where you can get an impression of what they are about, but the details are still being fleshed out.
Horii recently met with Square Enix’s Yosuke Saito for a five-to-six-hour business meeting. The check of an episode took three hours, and various other ideas came into discussion. The response speed of the 3DS’ 3D mode was specifically being checked, which will be applied to the 3DS version’s 2D mode and PlayStation 4 version. Battle checks were also done for the PlayStation 4 (and perhaps NX) version.
Finally, Horii officially confirmed that Dragon Quest XI will have the “Spell of Restoration”, which was used during the series’ early days as a password save system. In the new game, it’s a very “30th anniversary-ish thing” to have, Horii said. Horii also stated that Dragon Quest XI will be including a casino.

Not only will Phoenix be facing off against him in faraway lands, but it appears that Nahyuta will make an appearance in Apollo’s home turf as well.
The other entry covers Athena Cykes, the rookie attorney who was working with Phoenix and Apollo in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies from 2013, and a closer look at Roger Retinz, a producer working with Phoenix Wright’s daughter, Trucy Wright.
