This is really precious, as a fellow lover of the DQ series I understand wholeheartedly.

[@superbaconpants4264]

I just played DQ11 but I can tell why this franchise is so beloved. It’s a fantastic game.

[@TheRatedOniChannel]

Just hearing that intro fanfare is enough to send us to tears T-T

[@I.g.g.y.]

I started playing DQ1 after watching this and ngl, I'm loving it

[@yangchange5913]

Same

[@ThatFreikugel]

DQ is so damn huge in Japan

[@natedyer0]

Noel: No spoilers please! Chat: (probably) ok Square Enix: here's a reel of cutscenes throughout the game

[@Skelyos]

Man I hate those highlight reel things at the beginning that spoiler everything I noticed it in the Yakuza series as well

[@kimvidarlund]

@@Skelyos yep, That's why I always skip them.

[@Skelyos]

@@kimvidarlund I usually watch them after I finish the game

[@the-NightStar]

These actually aren't from the game's cutscenes. They were animated specifically for the opening.

[@navivaldez6240]

As the other guy said its not like theyre cutscenes from the game. It just introduces characters you quite literally cant gather anything from the opening without playing the game, imo atleast.

[@werbearjack]

It must be really special for these girls to be able to share their love and nostalgia for certain games/franchises with their beloved fans.

[@PewPew_McPewster]

It's definitely a special series and a special feeling to be sharing in this nostalgia. I grew up with a Dragon Quest game always somewhere in my life and played the crap out of XI so this period when Noel and Pekora play DQXI is a very special period for me.

[@julien827]

guys with a girl voice changer*

[@kaizerprobablydoesntdoanyt180]

I barely remember my childhood let alone playing a DQ game but god damn if that song isn't nostalgic for some reason.

[@DranCh]

I nEver played DQ either but I used to listen to that OST, and the opening fanfare is the most iconic embodiment of the golden age of jrpgs, tbh I teared up a little with Danchou as well, its pure nostalgia injected into the veins.

[@tmoran527]

I know this is late. but the series creator has gone on track saying that he wants every dragon quest game to have a homely field to it so that no matter which one you play it always feels familiar basically.

[@Skelyos]

When I hear that DQ theme all I can here is that video where they've clipped all of Pekora singing it together...

[@rushiabruh]

ah yes, the good ol' days

[@namepro7358]

DQ is a religion in JP, an awesome game

[@I.g.g.y.]

This is like national anthem in Japan

[@leavesinautumn5959]

A true gamer ..

[@richter1934]

I don't even play or know the game but Danchou's reaction made me feel like crying too for some reason.

[@navivaldez6240]

One of the best games I have ever played, its saying a lot trust me lol

[@vitatreat9037]

Make me want to play old dragon quest.

[@Rez441]

Nostalgia is powerful.

[@BiasedGuy123]

I never got to play Dragon Quest at all until earlier this week. But when I saw the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra did the opening, I knew it was special And holy shit, I’ve never played a game that made me nostalgic for it while being new to the series. I’m not far in it (just escaped Heliodor) but I already love everything about this game, and I mean everything.

[@cronotriggered4314]

There’s nothing quite like hearing the main theme of a series in the new game for the first time. For me it was the intro cutscene of the shadow of the colossus remake. The main final fantasy theme also gives me goosebumps.

[@julien827]

for me its every time the main zelda theme show up with a new remix

[@dewaeryadi7776]

theres no other game like dragon quest in the world only in japan, 4 generation of japanese playing this series since 1986

[@spikey556]

The orchestra makes this tune give me goosebumps every time.

[@jezzmaninjapan]

In Europe, we only got DQ 8. That was my first experience. Maybe we got some of the NES games as well, but I don't think so. It's still one of the best games I played. I used to play a demo that gave you 30 minutes to play the game from the beginning. I still remember the old guy that gives you cheese on top of the waterfall. After a while, I could rush through the demo that I could reach the second town (Alexandria?) before the 30 mins were up. It was the last PS2 game I ever bought. A few years ago, I wanted to replay it, but found that game was broken. Even though there wasn't a single scratch on the disc. I'm still a bit sad about that. I never got to see the end of that game. I got lost in the overworld once I got the ship or airship. I wish we got more DQ games. I don't understand why it didn't come over here. Dragon Ball is one of the few anime that got aired regularly here (together with pokemon and rurouni kenshin). So who in their right mind thought: "nah, people probably won't like a game in the artstyle of Dragon Ball..." Anyways, blessed Danchou crying made me smile.

[@bobbyboy00000]

Huh? We got 4, 5 & 6 remakes and 9 on the DS, and the 7 remake on the 3ds

[@jezzmaninjapan]

@@bobbyboy00000 Oh really? I never had a DS, but I do have a 3DS. Just started playing 7 on that.

[@rofyle]

That's sad. XI was one of the best games of the year, and I don't even like JRPGs.

[@ranger5839]

That's so weird, why did they think people wouldn't like the art design of a game who's lead artist is the dragon ball mangaka?

[@cool-soap]

I know this is a year late, but if you're ever interested in playing dragon quest 8 again. You can get PCSX2 to play it on the pc.

[@morganaensland1105]

Dragon Quest its the best game series indeed!

[@n_jay13]

Oh... She'z *CUTEEEE* ....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@josephaguilarjr6462]

I've started with DQ9 and Heroes, amazing series, I cried my eyes out durinf ghe dq11s opening a few days ago, it's given me hope in rpgs past Xeno series or besides indie titles.

[@Eresh69]

Understandable

[@user-eg4rg6xl4t]

>PS4 version >licensed by Nintendo and switch friend notif pops up ? Good vid though

[@PJK17]

This ain't the PS4 version tho... It's the switch version.

[@user-eg4rg6xl4t]

@@PJK17 yeah I know thats what I was pointing out. 0:39 she says she bought the ps4 version but proceeds to play the switch version. Just confused is all

[@Birthday888]

@@user-eg4rg6xl4t I believe that's because the Switch version has extra content in it.

[@KogashiwaKai]

@@Birthday888 S is in ps4 too now i believe

[@SilverLink07]

@@KogashiwaKai This was before the PS4 got the DQ11 Special Edition

[@fethinggakk4185]

Its moments like these where I pity the people who dismiss video games as a pointless pastime, they are missing out on so much

[@BetaXeeta]

Man… Dragon Quest is so fucking amazing dude.

[@floofiekun1875]

She finished the game finally and she cried at the end too

[@WatamelonGod]

What sucks about being in Hololive is that you can't stream your beloved games until they remove their restrictions. Thank god Square Enix gave the OK.

[@Kasaaz]

I'm glad. Because it can be super hard to get these games specifically cleared because of the composer and the fact that he holds sole rights to the Overture and so many other iconic pieces of music in the games.

[@frostare]

3:31-3:35 Hahaha, she recognized the hair of Erik (カミュ) looked like the DQ6 Hero. =)

[@fyanegaming7436]

But why i can hear pekora orchestra

[@TheKenchanx]

"I don't think it's related..." Little did she know...

[@starwarsfan7726]

i had a very similar experience but with the sailing theme. having grown up on dragon quest 9, getting on the salty stallion and hearing that song made me cry so much i had to turn the game off. dragon quest is the only series that can get me like this

[@Windyyyyyyyyy]

It’s really been a year since this?

[@Ravalin]

I get envious since everything made in the west is either gets destroyed or is pure "goyslop". Anything of value these days seems to be coming from japan anymore.

[@OHHHHUSBANT]

And it looks like square enix is going to ruin this franchise with 12 with the bullshit "mature audience" garbage
