Still need you to give me one reason why games like these are better to play on phones than consoles/PCs/dedicated handhelds.
you could be playing dq8 on your toilet, or you could sit there and complain about how a turn-based rpg can't be properly played with touch controls
choose the right side of history, pal

I don't play games on my toilet. Nor would I be able to get away with playing something as long and involved as DQ8 at work (open floorplan at the new job, I'm lucky I can sneak a few seconds to send out a few texts to people). I'm a crusty old relic who loves to get immersed in a long and gripping adventure, relaxing on my couch in front of a big-screen TV (and to a lesser extent, playing on my PC). I dealt with RPGs moving to handhelds but even that wasn't an ideal. There are games that make sense for phones, like where you can play a few minutes stopped at an extra-long traffic light... but not 100 hour long RPGs. I've also found grid-based movement annoying in the few touch RPGs I've played (of the 2D variety with only 4-way movement) too. And I hate the whole IAP whaling that goes with a lot of phone games.
Even if console RPGs completely dry up and this IAP whaling unambitious mobile RPG future comes to pass, I'll still have more than enough console games to play until either the mobile marketplace finally collapses upon itself or until companies finally start making more ambitious titles on the platform (so far out of what I've played, no original title has even come close to a mid-grade 90's console RPG)
i don't like techno music because all the DJs wear silly hats
is your argument, more or less
1) if the screen size bothers you, use a tablet
2) if the lack of buttons bothers you, get a controller
3) if the IAP bothers you, play the 90% of JRPGs on iOS with no/inobtrusive IAP
or just keep whining in literally every thread about a jrpg being on ios/android, your call

Yes, I'm gonna run out and spend money I don't have on a tablet and controller to play ports of games I own on every console they're available for already :P
There's also the quality issue of SE's mobile ports. Those FF5 sprites still repulse me. And that portrait view DQ8 isn't really inspiring any confidence.
see, this is why i don't give you better answers. "yes but, yes but, yes but, yes but". a whole lot of excuses you've imagined up and whenever anyone strikes one down, you replace it with yet another imagined excuse. i'd say enjoy your misery, but we both know you're going to break sooner or later, because you are an impotent addict, just like every other gamer.
i used to like fps games quite a lot actually, but i wasn't happy with the direction they went on the whole.

Hey tiesto - Executive DQ producer Yuu Miyake on the future of DQ:QuoteOne thing I can say," he said, "looking across the series from DQ8 onward, is that the business model of creating a retail package and releasing it exclusively on a single platform has become difficult to execute. Gamers' play styles and tastes are getting segmented, and we can't settle on a single platform. We're also in an era where trying to make back development costs on a title good enough to be part of the main story is getting more difficult with the traditional business model. We have to build a new business model, one that doesn't end with a retail package being purchased.
Enjoy your 30 years worth of gametime backlog then! You fucking gaming dinosaur!spoiler (click to show/hide):shh still :heart u[close]
UghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhBoth posters are right on point. DQ9 wasn't bad, but I do consider it a step in the wrong direction.
You hit stuff, you level up, and you buy better gear. All the same to me.

Sounds good to me. I know it's not as good as Pokemon but I always wanted to get into DQ.spoiler (click to show/hide):bluesteel[close]
I'm going to regret this damning statement but, DQ8 is for casuals and DQ virgins. DQ8 was my first DQ, and I loved it. Then I went back - after playing the entire series. Its dungeons are terrible, it reuses entire storylines, alchemy pot sucks, battles are atrociously long in favor of classic DQ swiftness. DQ9 is objectively better than 8 in almost every single category, short of characters, and MAYBE story. And DQ has never been about characters, aside from VIII. DQ is about the world, the world and its vignettes are the characters these people crave.
If graphics and characters are your priority, sure, DQIX may be a step back!

Goddammitandrex.
DQ8 and DQ9 were probably the worst ones in the series. Maybe in portable form the shittiness of 8 will be lessened.
Oh and your bit about the dungeons is amusing since DQ dungeons of old were almost all empty and made up of the same few color-swapped tiles. If you want to talk about good old school console rpg dungeon design then lets talk Lufia 2 8)

I can't wait to play dress-up with Lightning 8)
Also DQ9 has the best graphics on the Nintendo ds. It's a beautiful game considering its limitations.

:kobeyuck
DQ5 is the family generational one right? That sounds pretty good, I think I'd like that to be the first one I play. It's on the DS right?
Why does he deny it? He was 7-8 when it occurred. Was his father one of the men who participated?
uh, he was at exactly the right age to have his worldview warped by people around him. it's disgustingly common for people his age to deny the "comfort women" (can we just call them what they were, sex slaves?) situation. which is not to say it's excusable behaviour at all, it's fucking reprehensible, but what worries me more is when younger guys like the mayor of osaka toru hashimoto join in on the chorus.
the whole military sex slave thing is just awful as fuck. when i was digging around about japan's history on that, i found out koreans and americans did it too during the korean war and stuff. makes me wonder if that shit still goes on today on the sly.
Looks great!
Sadly I have no incentives to re-play the game again (it is quite long). I've beaten all mainline DQ games (1-9) and really, really, really do not like the idea of replaying those games again from scratch.
Oscar, your insight on where DQ11 will end up? 3DS is a lock, no?
I will sacrifice a virgin ninthing to get dq7 3ds to the US if that's what it takesNo need to repeat yourself :jawalrus
