Story:The 3ds version of Dragon Quest 11.
This version has a 3D and 2D game mode that can be switched at locations in-game. Streetpass was also integrated into the game with a dungeon tied to it,
The 3D mode is similar to the PS4 version with the player traveling through 3D environments with monsters roaming around. They can attack, or be attacked, by the player to initiate battles.
The 2D mode uses pixelated sprites with a top-down view of the map. Battles are started through random encounters and use text to detail the results of battle under enemy sprites on the top screen with character stats shown on the bottom screen.Show more
This version has way different level designs and a more classic 2D design for characters. Its a shame most of the 3ds exclusive content and features were never translated nor carried over to the special edition on switch. It would be really nice to be able to play this translated to English, and to experience this version.
