Japanese magazine Famitsu has shared an interesting tidbit about Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS - it doesn't have 3D output.
There will be a lot of Dragon Quest VIII improvements in the 3DS version, including revised graphics, new playable characters and story, however the game won't be taking advantage of the console's stereoscopic features.
To make up for the lack of 3D output in Dragon Quest VIII, the game will have a fully orchestrated soundtrack, voice work and StreetPass to make use of the hardware's local connectivity.
The game launches in Japan on 27th August.
Is the lack of 3D output a deal breaker for Dragon Quest VIII?
