Preloading is only worth it for games with low disk space requirements. Most of the games I've preloaded recently took longer to unpackage than it would have taken to download from the beginning. This game uses about 30GB to preload - definitely not worth it.

I succumbed to temptation and bought the game too - the turn-based combat and the aesthetics really appealed to me, and it seems every reviewer is praising the story. I won't download until release.

I know that preload is now available for the PS4, but my dragon quest xi preload hasn't downloaded yet. Anyone know if this is an option you have to tick on some settings?

So is it worth preloading or not? I thought preloading just installs most of it?

If you have a fast connection then it isn't worth it. The preload file is encrypted and may take longer to decrypt than downloading especially if you don't have an SSD. My internet is incredibly slow but my computer is quite fast so it is better for me to preload it.

Someone tell me they've figured out a way to crack through the preload thing.

ETA: I bought it, I just want to play it today during a holiday instead of tomorrow after work.

Yeah, I didn't understand your reply the first time. Thanks for making a second post to clarify what you meant to type.

Looks like every other modern Dragon Quest game. Even Call of Duty looks more unique with each release.
Considering the last "modern" DQ was released in 2004 on PS2. (unless you include DQ Builder and DQ Heroes, which aren't RPG but yes, they were done in Unreal Engine 4 too and look like DQ 11)

Well excuse me for being old and considering 2004 modern.

Steam forums for the game say it will unlock at 10am PST / 6pm GMT, which to me translates to 1 pm (here in Florida).

Supposedly there won't be a midnight unlock.

BTW, reading through recent posts on the steam board I learned that apparently the hard mode increases enemy HP, attack and defenses and lowers XP (supposedly). Take that with a grain of salt but it sounds about right to me.
