== Gameplay ==
''Dragon Quest XI'' has the same gameplay elements from the previous ''Dragon Quest'' games in the series, in which the players explore and fight against monsters, including the ability to explore high areas. The Nintendo 3DS shows a different style than the PlayStation 4 version. The game's battle system still uses the series' traditional turn-based battle system.

=== Graphics ===
''Dragon Quest XI'' shows several styles for the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation 4. The Nintendo 3DS version shows super deformed graphics which is shown on the top screen and 16-bit styled sprites on the bottom of the screen. However, the split scene between 3D and 2D graphics is not entirely shown in the game, which revealed that it is only like that for the opening stages and after the opening stages, the players can decide which style to play. But the players can switch between its 3D and 2D styles at any time during the game.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/30/dragon-quest-xi-on-3ds-wont-simultaneously-be-in-3d-and-2d-for-the-entire-game/ Dragon Quest XI On 3DS Won’t Simultaneously Play In 3D And 2D For The Entire Game]</ref> The PlayStation 4 version of the game shows an entire 3D style layout with a clear appearance of the area and the monsters.

=== Battle style ===
''Dragon Quest XI'' is still using its traditional turn-based battle system, which the player and monsters can attack by turns. The player can switch the battle style graphics of the Nintendo 3DS version from 3D to 2D, which the battle system can be toggled after encountering a monster when the players are walking through the field. For the Playstation 4 version, there are two battle systems as well. With the Free Camera-style, the player can rotate the camera freely and position characters as desired, similar to the style of Dragon Quest X. While using the Classic Camera-style, the player cannot move characters around and camera angles are dynamic, similar to Dragon Quest VIII. Regardless of style, battles are still turn-based.

== Pre-released information ==
=== Development ===
The news about ''Dragon Quest XI'' was revealed by its creator [[Yuji Horii]], when saying that he won't release ''Dragon Quest XI'' for smartphones.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/26/dragon-quest-xi-wont-smartphones-says-dragon-quest-creator/ Dragon Quest XI Won’t Be For Smartphones Says Dragon Quest Creator]</ref> In April 2014, Yuji Horii teased that he is working on the next ''Dragon Quest'' title.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2014/04/28/series-creator-yuji-horii-teasing-dragon-quest-xi/ Could Series Creator Yuji Horii Be Teasing Dragon Quest XI?]</ref> In July 2015, they announced through a Japanese magazine Shonen Jump that they will release a new ''Dragon Quest'' title during a livestream on July 28, 2018. <ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/23/a-new-dragon-quest-title-to-be-announced-in-on-july-28th/ A New Dragon Quest Title To Be Announced In On July 28th]</ref> After the announcement in Shonen Jump, there were been rumours that the newly titled game is in fact ''Dragon Quest XI''. A ''Wall Street Journal Japan'' reporter received a letter of invitation from Square Enix containing that there will be "a new title from main ''Dragon Quest'' series." which the letter fully revealed "a new title from the main ''Dragon Quest'' series for the first time in three years."<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/24/rumor-dragon-quest-xi-to-be-announced-next-week/ Rumor: Dragon Quest XI To Be Announced Next Week]</ref> During the livestream on July 28, 2015, the revealed gameplay footage of ''Dragon Quest XI'', revealing that it will be released for the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4. They also said that the PlayStation 4 version uses the [[wikipedia:Unreal Engine 4|Unreal Engine 4]] game engine to create a high quality game.

''Dragon Quest XI'' producer Hokuto Okamoto confirmed during an interview with Dualshockers on April 8, 2018 that ''Dragon Quest XI S'' will be based off the PlayStation 4 version. He also mentioned that while ''Dragon Quest XI S'' was already part of the outlook when the development team started developing Dragon Quest XI, the game at the time couldn't run on the Nintendo Switch since the SDK (software development kit) wasn't ready within Unreal Engine 4. But the development team is now able to start working on ''Dragon Quest XI S'' since the SDK that supports the Nintendo Switch has been implemented on Unreal Engine 4. However, that SDK only supports a version of Unreal Engine 4 that is higher than the version that the original game is developed on, which means the development team had to update the engine, which comes with its own sets of issues; the developers are in the process of resolving those issues. Square Enix had considered releasing Dragon Quest XI at the same time as the PlayStation 4 and PC versions. But since they don't have a solid input on how long the development for ''Dragon Quest XI S'' will take, they believe it's going to be a long ways out, and they didn't want fans on PlayStation 4 and PC to wait that long to be able to enjoy ''Dragon Quest XI''.<ref>[https://www.dualshockers.com/dragon-quest-xi-switch-ps4-3ds/ Square Enix Confirms Dragon Quest XI for Switch Is Based on PS4 Version; Explains Lack of 3DS Version]</ref>

On July 28, 2017, [[Yuji Horii]] announced that the game will be released internationally in 2018 in five different languages. The Western release of the game was announced on March 28, 2018, which will include various new features added from the Japanese release, including voice acting, as well as a release on PC systems.

During the ''Dragon Quest'' Paradise News Station event at Tokyo Game Show 2018 on September 23, 2018, Square Enix announced that the Nintendo Switch version will be titled ''Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age S'', with 'S' meaning "Switch," "Special," "Shaberu" (Speaking), and "Seiyuu" (Voice Actor), according to Yuji Horii. ''Dragon Quest XI'' producer Hokuto Okamoto added that "Even though shaberu (speaking) will be taking priority...I think there are some players who would prefer Dragon Quest without voices, and we're keeping that in mind. Horii will be able to say more about that at some point..."

== Gameplay ==
''Dragon Quest XI'' has the same gameplay elements from the previous ''Dragon Quest'' games in the series, in which the players explore and fight against monsters, including the ability to explore high areas. The Nintendo 3DS shows a different style than the PlayStation 4 version. The game's battle system still uses the series' traditional turn-based battle system.

=== Graphics ===
''Dragon Quest XI'' shows several styles for the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation 4. The Nintendo 3DS version shows super deformed graphics which is shown on the top screen and 16-bit styled sprites on the bottom of the screen. However, the split scene between 3D and 2D graphics is not entirely shown in the game, which revealed that it is only like that for the opening stages and after the opening stages, the players can decide which style to play. But the players can switch between its 3D and 2D styles at any time during the game.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/30/dragon-quest-xi-on-3ds-wont-simultaneously-be-in-3d-and-2d-for-the-entire-game/ Dragon Quest XI On 3DS Won’t Simultaneously Play In 3D And 2D For The Entire Game]</ref> The PlayStation 4 version of the game shows an entire 3D style layout with a clear appearance of the area and the monsters. The players has a lot of freedom to walk through many part of the game which the players can even walk through ropes.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/28/dragon-quest-xis-first-3ds-footage-shows-its-2d-and-3d-styles/ Dragon Quest XI’s First 3DS Footage Shows Its 2D And 3D Styles]</ref>

=== Battle style ===
''Dragon Quest XI'' is still using its traditional turn-based battle system, which the player and monsters can attack by turns. The player can switch the battle style graphics of the Nintendo 3DS version from 3D to 2D, which the battle system can be toggled after encountering a monster when the players are walking through the field. For the Playstation 4 version, there are two battle systems as well. With the Free Camera-style, the player can rotate the camera freely and position characters as desired, similar to the style of Dragon Quest X. While using the Classic Camera-style, the player cannot move characters around and camera angles are dynamic, similar to Dragon Quest VIII. Regardless of style, battles are still turn-based.

===International bonus features===
*Fully voiced characters.
*Draconian quest: an excessively difficult mode for experienced players.
*A sprint button that allows a character to dash.
*Redesigned menus that replace the traditional transparent black with sepia tone parchment that displays item and equipment artwork.
*Refined camera control for easier viewing of details.

=== Development ===
The news about ''Dragon Quest XI'' was revealed by its creator [[Yuji Horii]], when saying that he won't release ''Dragon Quest XI'' for smartphones.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/26/dragon-quest-xi-wont-smartphones-says-dragon-quest-creator/ Dragon Quest XI Won’t Be For Smartphones Says Dragon Quest Creator]</ref> In April 2014, Yuji Horii teased that he is working on the next ''Dragon Quest'' title.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2014/04/28/series-creator-yuji-horii-teasing-dragon-quest-xi/ Could Series Creator Yuji Horii Be Teasing Dragon Quest XI?]</ref> In July 2015, they announced through a Japanese magazine Shonen Jump that they will release a new ''Dragon Quest'' title during a livestream on July 28, 2018. <ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/23/a-new-dragon-quest-title-to-be-announced-in-on-july-28th/ A New Dragon Quest Title To Be Announced In On July 28th]</ref> After the announcement in Shonen Jump, there were been rumours that the newly titled game is in fact ''Dragon Quest XI''. A ''Wall Street Journal Japan'' reporter received a letter of invitation from Square Enix containing that there will be "a new title from main ''Dragon Quest'' series." which the letter fully revealed "a new title from the main ''Dragon Quest'' series for the first time in three years."<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/24/rumor-dragon-quest-xi-to-be-announced-next-week/ Rumor: Dragon Quest XI To Be Announced Next Week]</ref> During the livestream on July 28, 2015, the revealed gameplay footage of ''Dragon Quest XI'', revealing that it will be released for the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4. They also said that the PlayStation 4 version uses the [[wikipedia:Unreal Engine 4|Unreal Engine 4]] game engine to create a high quality game.

''Dragon Quest XI'' producer Hokuto Okamoto confirmed during an interview with Dualshockers on April 8, 2018 that ''Dragon Quest XI S'' will be based off the PlayStation 4 version. He also mentioned that while ''Dragon Quest XI S'' was already part of the outlook when the development team started developing Dragon Quest XI, the game at the time couldn't run on the Nintendo Switch since the SDK (software development kit) wasn't ready within Unreal Engine 4. But the development team is now able to start working on ''Dragon Quest XI S'' since the SDK that supports the Nintendo Switch has been implemented on Unreal Engine 4. However, that SDK only supports a version of Unreal Engine 4 that is higher than the version that the original game is developed on, which means the development team had to update the engine, which comes with its own sets of issues; the developers are in the process of resolving those issues. Square Enix had considered releasing Dragon Quest XI at the same time as the PlayStation 4 and PC versions. But since they don't have a solid input on how long the development for ''Dragon Quest XI S'' will take, they believe it's going to be a long ways out, and they didn't want fans on PlayStation 4 and PC to wait that long to be able to enjoy ''Dragon Quest XI''.<ref>[https://www.dualshockers.com/dragon-quest-xi-switch-ps4-3ds/ Square Enix Confirms Dragon Quest XI for Switch Is Based on PS4 Version; Explains Lack of 3DS Version]</ref>

'''Lord Rhapthorne''' is the central antagonist of ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. A demon of untold legend, Rhapthorne is the party's final opponent in their quest to rid the world of an evil curse.

==Characteristics==
Rhapthorne has the upper half of an overweight man with a black goatee. He has two large horns coming from his head. His lower half appears bulbous, with a ring of spikes protruding from the bottom. Rhapthorne's skin is purple, with flame-like designs in a darker shade of purple. He has two small bat wings on his back.

Rhapthorne had power over the World of Darkness and planned to take control of the World of Light, but was stopped by the [[Seven Sages]] with the help of [[Empyrea]], the Godbird. He returned centuries later to kill the heirs of Seven Sages and take over the World of Light.

In a break from the series' tradition of the Archfiend being a distant figure removed from much of the narrative, Rhapthorne is actually present from the very beginning of the game thanks to his possession of [[Dhoulmagus]]. He is aware of the party's actions against him from the start, and as such his loathing for them is significantly more personal than that of final foes past.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2]]''===
*Rhapthorne (first forme) is a one-slot Rank X monster. He can be synthesized by combining [[Dhoulmagus]] and [[Nimzo]].
*Rhapthorne (second forme) is a great three-slot Rank X monster. He can be synthesized by combining his first forme with [[Zoma]].

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional]]''===
Both formes appear as separate monsters in ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional''.

==Trivia==
*Rhapthorne is the only final boss not to be fought at the end of a dungeon.
*Rhapthorne's diminutive first form bears a slight resemblance to real world [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_angel| Sea Angels]. Both feature prominent bio-luminescence in their abdomens, stubby appendages, and the Angel's antennae approximate with Rhapthorne's horns.
*When possessing both [[Dhoulmagus]] and [[Leopold]], both hosts developed large, black-feathered wings reminiscent of a bird of prey. Neither of Rhapthorne's actually bodies have these traits, with his petite form bearing no wings at all, and his larger form having smaller bat-like wings.
*In ''Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2'', the evil scepter Rhapthorne weilds is called [[Malevolence]].

'''Lord Rhapthorne''' is the central antagonist of ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. A demon of untold legend, Rhapthorne is the party's final opponent in their quest to rid the world of an evil curse.

==Characteristics==
Rhapthorne has the upper half of an overweight man with a black goatee. He has two large horns coming from his head. His lower half appears bulbous, with a ring of spikes protruding from the bottom. Rhapthorne's skin is purple, with flame-like designs in a darker shade of purple. He has two small bat wings on his back.

Rhapthorne had power over the World of Darkness and planned to take control of the World of Light, but was stopped by the [[Seven Sages]] with the help of [[Empyrea]], the Godbird. He returned centuries later to kill the heirs of Seven Sages and take over the World of Light.

In a break from the series' tradition of the Archfiend being a distant figure removed from much of the narrative, Rhapthorne is actually present from the very beginning of the game thanks to his possession of [[Dhoulmagus]]. He is aware of the party's actions against him from the start, and as such his loathing for them is significantly more personal than that of final foes past.

Claw (weapon type)

2019-05-13T15:14:08Z

12.88.69.46: /* Dragon Quest IX */

'''Claws''' are a recurring type of weapon in the series and have appeared in practically every installment in the series since their introduction. They are favored by [[martial artist]]s and other barehanded brawlers since conventional weapons do not suit them. Due to their somewhat primitive nature, claws are also wielded by characters who are closer to nature and even monster companions. Claws are also used by some monsters, such as [[Riptide]]s and [[Claws]].

Some notable claws throughout the series are the [[Golden claws]], the [[Cobra claw]], and the [[Orichalcum claws]].

==Appearances==

Claws are introduced in this game, being the preferred weapon type of Martial Artists. They are the only weapons they can use which do not impart a penalty to their attack power. In remake versions of the game, more claws have been added and [[Thief|Thieves]] can also equip some of them, as well.

* Cobra claw
