fucking awesome, 4 is the best out of those 3 but the others kick ass too anyways. awesome news.

ferricide · « **Reply #4 on:** July 30, 2007, 02:53:50 PM »

it's about time we got a chance to play DQV, which i think is the only game in the series i actually give a shit about. well, that and DQ8.

abrader · « **Reply #5 on:** July 30, 2007, 02:57:01 PM »

Sounds cool - but I sold my DS...they should bring them to PSP or ill pass.

Error2k4 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 30, 2007, 03:00:22 PM »

how dare you ferricide

DQ3 and DQ4 are the best ones, 8 is a mediocre DQ in my eyes. totally boring.

I think the DQ4 remake is the PS1 type, which is like psuedo 3d.

the NES version is unplayable imo, the GBC remake is nice but doesnt hold a candle to DQ3 SNES. there is a fan translation thats looking very nice but they still havent finish it. if I were you I'll wait for the translation of SNES DQ3 which the best version.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #14 on:** July 30, 2007, 05:03:40 PM »

The art style looks nice, and I'm glad it isn't 3D. I've never played a DQ game before so this will be educational

Himu · « **Reply #15 on:** July 30, 2007, 05:07:47 PM »

I really want a remake of III. =/

tiesto · « **Reply #16 on:** July 30, 2007, 05:13:11 PM »

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing a small collection released for DS with the SFC ports of DQ1-3 on it, it's a total shame we never got the SFC remakes of 1-3... 3 in particular has some absolutely amazing 2D graphics.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #17 on:** July 30, 2007, 05:14:22 PM »

I really wanted the PS2 version of Dragon Quest V to get released over here, guess the slight chance of that maybe happening has been completely killed.

Oh well, I'll stick pick up these new DS remakes.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #18 on:** July 30, 2007, 05:14:28 PM »

So is SE going to rerelease their whole DQ and FF catalog every 10 years? Wow . Its crazy how their devoting resources to rereleasing all the DQ games. One or two remakes is coo but the whole god dang series is just holy crap.

I guess when I get a new psp, I'll put the snes FFIII + fan translation on it along with SMT1, 2, and If. ftw.

3 GBC is okay but really really basic looking. If the SNES translation ever gets done I'd play that over any minute improvements that the GBC might have.

Himu · « **Reply #22 on:** July 30, 2007, 05:25:56 PM »

Yeah I figure GBC graphics would suck

yeah DQ3 GBC is not easy on the eyes.

edit: Wait, it's 3D? Fuck me.

demi · « **Reply #26 on:** July 30, 2007, 07:02:35 PM »

Apparently IV is 3D while V and VI are 2D?

cubicle47b · « **Reply #27 on:** July 30, 2007, 07:25:09 PM »

I hope so. I greatly prefer lush 2D to the crap 3D the DS is capable of. Also, I prefer navigating in 2D anyway. It's much easier to keep track of everything (my brain fails at 3D).

Well, whatever, I'm going home to play many hours of Medieval II.

ferricide · « **Reply #28 on:** July 30, 2007, 08:31:18 PM »

well, III is awesome but i think i've dicked around with it enough. plus, uh, it's not involved here.

IV, i guess i'll give it a shot. i dunno how many DQs i can stand, and there's already IX and V that i want to give a shot. i'm gonna skipp DQMjoker. i'll puke if i have to play too much DQ.

rightly or wrongly, i don't think sqex management in japan viewed DQ8's performance outside of japan as "success". and every DQ title shipped since DQ8 has tanked like a bitch, i think.

Glad to see S-E start whoring out the GOOD series a bit.

Ichirou · « **Reply #33 on:** July 30, 2007, 09:22:49 PM »

They're fun, and this type of RPG lends itself especially well to being played on a portable.

NO GAMES TO PLAY ON DS!

Ichirou · « **Reply #35 on:** July 30, 2007, 09:37:27 PM »

I play mostly GBA games on my DS, as I've stated before. $:-\$

tiesto · « **Reply #36 on:** July 30, 2007, 09:48:14 PM »

I wish DS had GB/GBC support, I now have to take my SP in to play the Oracles games, DK'94 and the DW1-3 GBC titles.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #37 on:** July 31, 2007, 01:59:32 AM »

Not excited at all. DQ8 was archiac enough already. I don't need the same boring gameplay/story with far worse graphics. Fuk DQ, I would rather play Ultima.

qft, even the scenario was boring.

only good thing DQ8 brought to the series was the Alchemy Pot.

Himu · « **Reply #42 on:** July 31, 2007, 11:09:19 AM »

I thought you loved the game when it came out Error

Error2k4 · « **Reply #43 on:** July 31, 2007, 11:32:04 AM »

it's a good game but as a DQ is probably low/middle tier for me.

I remember dropping the game for like 5 months and then pushing myself to finish it, those last 10 hours are dreadful.

DQ is like FF, at least in the sense that the gameplay systems are not the same every time.

i think only two DQs have job systems... VII, of course, and uh... i don't remember, one of the NES ones.

probably DQVIII didn't have quite the gameplay chops of VII, but it also corrected all the things i loathed about VII, so i liked it more.

it's all about V for me, ultimately, so yay.

Error2k4 · « **Reply #45 on:** July 31, 2007, 06:25:16 PM »

DQ3, DQ6 and DQ7 have job systems. DQ6 job system is basically like 7, except a lot less jobs.
