#DragonQuest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition on #NintendoSwitch came as a result of a desire to combine the two previously released versions of the game in Japan in one package.#PAXWest pic.twitter.com/D5kTR00Wht

For #DragonQuest XI S, the devs created design documents with rough sketches & character details to send to Akira Toriyama. Mr. Toriyama refines the concept & sends back the updated character art. This example is Rab, who ended with a more charming look than the original vision! pic.twitter.com/b4vJSyMLhu

The team experimented with a more dramatic appearance for characters who are “Pepped Up,” but decided against it. pic.twitter.com/Y8g6arlU5E

The developers of #DragonQuest XI S take extra care to impart warmth and humanity to the characters and language of the world, which is series creator Mr. Horii’s design style. This carries into the localization of the game through various puns! pic.twitter.com/1i8FWIbFro

Regarding Hero from #DragonQuest XI S in #SmashBrosUltimate, Mr. Sakurai was very passionate & knowledgeable about the series and approached the team. The Square-Enix devs suggested adding alternate skins for the Heroes from 3, 4, & 8. The end result exceeded their expectations. pic.twitter.com/dUZpIkCsdX
