Yuji Horii, the mastermind behind the Dragon Quest series, commemorated Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age's success with a statement of his own. The game's re-release seems to have been what pushed it over the edge to hit this milestone. Finally, Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition, a Nintendo Switch port that combines elements from the 3DS and PS4 releases, came out in all territories back in September. Only the PS4 version managed to make it westward in 2018 alongside a worldwide PC release. Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age initially came out in Japan for both PS4 and 3DS in 2017. This number accounts for all platforms as well as both Japanese and western sales.
