Which one of those TBA special stages is the announcement of Katamari Damacy Encore?
---

Real Tales please.
---

If neither of those special stages end up being Tales I'm going to be very sad. I hope whenever they finally unveil what they're working on it turns out to be a STUNNING new engine and a super polished game. I feel like after DQ11 I'm going to be judging JRPGs extra harshly for a while and they've been keeping us waiting for quite a while, so expectations are high!
---

I can't do that I just expect DQ to always be on another level compared to your average jrpg

I should probably adopt this mode of thinking as well. I just had stopped thinking an RPG with production value so high could even exist in the modern age but then here comes DQ11 showing that AAA god tier passion projects can actually still happen.

i'll tell you what those special stages won't be

xenosaga trilogy hd remaster

=(

More seriously, I'm surprised ToV Remaster isn't there but I suppose it would be much less of a deal in Japan since they had the PS3 version.

Hm? Are DQ11's production values higher than Xenoblade 2's?

God I hope so

If it weren't for the semi-recent delay announcement I'd guess that one of the special stages was Code Vein. idk maybe it still is.

I didn't expect the announcement to come so soon!

But now this means that they're likely to do a bigger showing of it, rather than just a small teaser.
