《勇者斗恶龙 XI 寻觅逝去的时光》举办任天堂直播 统整 3DS 版本特色
SQUARE ENIX 制作,预定在 2017 年 7 月 29 日发售的《勇者斗恶龙 XI 寻觅逝去的时光(ドラゴンクエスト XI 过ぎ去りし时を求めて)》今(21)日在任天堂官方频道举办了介绍 3DS 版本的直播节目「勇者斗恶龙 XI 寻觅逝去的时光 Direct 2017.6.21(ドラゴンクエストXI 过ぎ去りし时を求めて Direct 2017.6.21)」,统整了 3DS 版的游戏特色。
3DS 版将会活用该掌机的双屏幕特性,在序章部分将会同时在上画面呈现时下主流的 3D 多边形画面、在下画面呈现令老玩家怀念的 2D 点阵画面,上下两画面的事件场景也会连动。 《勇斗》生父堀井雄二表示,玩家将可以在游戏中一次体验到《勇者斗恶龙》30 年来的画面演进。
序章过后则是可以让玩家自由选择要以 3D 多边形画面或 2D 点阵画面呈现,包含地图与战斗都可以依照自己喜好,在教会和野营处随时切换。
3D 模式的特征是会以指针式方式遇敌,除了带来角色背后视点的战斗画面之外,在 3DS 主机下画面会显示地图,在冒险途中还可以跳跃。
2D 模式则是追求重现最古早经典的《勇者斗恶龙》乐趣,以点阵风格的画面来进行。 在地图上以随机遇敌的方式进入战斗,对战中也以第一人称视点来节奏明快的打倒怪兽。
另外,《勇者斗恶龙 XI》也加入了露营据点,一行人可以在野营处纪录,也可以在此切换 2D 和 3D 两种模式。
3DS 版本的另一个特色就是擦身而过通信机能,藉由和路人的擦身通信,玩家会遇见新加入的「耀奇族(ヨッチ族)」,我们可以带领耀奇族挑战特别的迷宫,选择适合的成员以自动或手动的方式挑战一路上遭遇的怪物,打倒守关的 BOSS。
通过之后可以获得通关密语,输入后可以开启支线任务,回到历代《勇者斗恶龙》的世界,和经典的人物互动解决他们的疑难杂症。 玩家也可以看到历代 DQ 的经典场景。
Nintendo hosted a Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time-themed Nintendo Direct today, revealing a host of details specific to the 3DS version of the game. Among those details, it was revealed that players will be able to take on various quests in which they travel to the worlds of past Dragon Quest games.
Here are all the new details:
- In 2D mode, there are secret locations called “Hidden Spots” that you can find.
- In 3D mode, there are symbol-based encounters. By using the A button, you can perform a preemptive attack.
- 2D mode uses random encounters.
- The bottom screen displays the map. You can switch between the full map and the area map.
- There is a “Travel Memories” feature that lets you look back on events in 2D and 3D modes.
- The circle pad is used for 3D screen movement, while the d-pad is used for 2D screen movement.
- The 3DS version uses “StreetPass” functionality.
- The main element of StreetPass sees players interacting with a race known as the Yocchi.
- The Yocchi will request that you rescue the Yocchi in critical situations that you encounter along your journey.
- The key to rescuing Yocchi is a dungeon called the “Labyrinth Beyond Time.”
- You can form a party of up to eight Yocchi from among the Yocchi you gather, and send them off into the dungeon.
- In the dungeon, you can choose whether to control the Yocchi directly or proceed automatically. Choosing the latter means both movement and battles are automatic.
- There are treasure chests and you can obtain items in the dungeon.
- The abilities of each Yocchi differ, and various types exist from weak to strong. They will not return if they’re killed by the enemy. You can gather Yocchi in the field or from other players through StreetPass.
- By defeating the “Gate Keeper” awaiting at the end of the dungeon, you will obtain an “Adventure Log Password.”
- By giving the Adventure Log Password to the Yocchi elder, you can go the worlds of past Dragon Quest games.(In the Nintendo Direct, we see the player visit the worlds of Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest V.)
- There are problems occurring in the worlds of past Dragon Quest games, and resolving them has something to do with saving the Yocchi.
- The Nintendo Direct also revealed that starting today, 3DS users in Japan will be able to pre-load Dragon Quest XI from the Nintendo eShop.
Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time will launch for PlayStation 4 and 3DS on July 29 in Japan. A Switch version is also planned, but has yet to be shown or dated.
