Development on Square Enix's long-awaited
Dragon Quest XI: Ehoes of an Elusive Age for the Nintendo Switch keeps moving forward, which may come as a relief for Switch owners who have been waiting for this game to release pretty much since the system was released.
For anyone not aware,
Dragon Quest XI: Ehoes of an Elusive Age on the Nintendo Switch will be featuring, for the first time ever, fully dubbed dialogues in Japanese — which is something that the PlayStation 4 and Steam versions don't have.
Over the last few months, Square Enix has revealed the Japanese voice actors that will be bringing the game's characters to life; making the waiting more than justified for Nintendo Switch owners who have not yet had the chance to play the game.
Recently, Square Enix has revealed even more Japanese actors and actresses to voice lend their voices for
Dragon Quest XI: Ehoes of an Elusive Age S — as well as revealing that the Nintendo Switch will also be including scenarios not present in neither the PlayStation 4 or Steam versions.
The news comes from a livestream during today's
Dragon Quest XI S Channel: Cast Announcement Feature #1, and the list of Japanese voice actors to join
Dragon Quest XI: Ehoes of an Elusive Age has been provided by the people over at
Gematsu, who worked on translating it.
