DQ IV DS

[GilloD]

Where's the LEAK? I'm DYIN OVAH HEAH

[demi]

I'm buying it, you should too

[GilloD]

I'm buying it, you should too

I'm planning on it, I'm just bored as hell.

[Sho Nuff]

Is it $40

[Himu]

yeah its 40 dollahs

[Joe Molotov]

Is it $40

Square-Enix tax.

[Greatness Gone]

Finally, a game that's worth the S-E tax. This'll be my GOTY unless Mirror's Edge or Prince of Persia (lol, ya right) turn out to be phenomenal.

[Positive Touch]

goddamnit i've been looking forward to this for forever, but now i don't have any money for it. fuck fuck fuck.  maybe i'll get it for a christmas present.   :'(

[MrAngryFace]

pre-ordered boom

[tiesto]

Got a little bit left of The World Ends With You, then onto this game... original was one of the best 8 bit games ever.

[Jabberwocky]

This tax has got to fucking go. I only buy Square's games years after they release just to wait for the damn price to go down.

If I want to give an old-school RPG remake a try, do I go with FFIV or wait for this?

[Van Cruncheon]

this

[Tucah]

Very excited for this. RPGOTY.

I am going to play DQ1-3 before I touch this. I just found out the translator/hacker for DQ1&2 SNES passed away last year, so I will do it in memoriam :usa

I played through 1 with my Dad. He called me his Squire. It was the last thing we actually did together.

I mean, he's still alive. We just don't have much in common.

dragon warrior games are better rpgs for people that like rpgs, while ff games are better for the mass market and people that like stories.  i can't see how the stupid new version of ff4 would be any better than the gba version, which i would recommend you get if you want ff4. 

however, before you play dw4 i think you should spend some time playing dw3 to see if you will like it.  4 has more stuff in it, a couple chapter divisions, and a different way of playing out than other dw games, but the play style is essentially the same and will give you a taste of whether or not you have the patience for a classic dw game.

So FFIV isn't for people who like rpgs?

This is the stupidest thing I'll read all week and it's fucking Tuesday.

[CurseoftheGods]

You have TWEwY wallpaper. Very cool.

[demi]

Yeah I found them on DeviantArt I think... I edited it a bit by adding scanlines and blurring the top text

[Himu]

DQ1+2 SNES ROCKS

[demi]

Someone play DQ with me fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[demi]

I dunno, I am playing that version cause the translator/hacker died last year.

[demi]

no, dragon warrior isn't for people that don't like rpgs. 

[Ninja]

This will be awesome, I can't wait to get into it. I'll have to juggle it with FFIV DS though since I haven't finished it yet.

I know exactly what he means and it makes perfect sense to me.   

[demi]

WTF why does Ragnar's chapter talk in CANADIAN

[demi]

[archie4208]

Game owns.  Fast battles ftw.

[Himu]

I knew this game had content removed because SE USA was shooting for an E rating, but apparently they cut out features like party talk for the US release?

[Third]

DQVIII was my first DQ game and I LOVED it.

Will I like this too, or is it too archaic/downgraded?

[Darunia]

DQVIII was my first DQ game and I LOVED it.

Will I like this too, or is it too archaic/downgraded?

I'm only in chapter 2 but it basically plays exactly the same, only the battles are much faster. it's awesome. I have the euro version and yeah, no party talk

[demi]

If you like DQ8, I dunno why you wouldnt like the others

The only thing is that none of them have the synthesizing that 8 offered - I could be wrong

[Himu]

DQVIII was my first DQ game and I LOVED it.

No, DQ8 is missing a few features from early dq's like actually awesome dungeons, for instance. Not that I think it matters as DQ8 is still my fave.

That is such bullshit. In DQ7 and 8 party talk is one of the best features ever. Few, if any, jrpgs have party talk but DQ7 and up always have party talk. Forget where you are in the game and need a good refresher? PARTY TALK. Want more characterization? PARTY TALK. Taking out party talk to fit in more languages is a crock of shit.

[AdmiralViscen]

What was in party talk that would kill the E rating?

[Himu]

What was in party talk that would kill the E rating?

Nothing. It just seems they just did it...to do it. But that's the Europe version. It may be still in the US release

[AdmiralViscen]

OK

Anyone selling this at less than MSRP?

And why the fuck won't the DW NES games run on my PSP? They freeze up on the first screen and then the PSP turns off 15 seconds later.

[demi]

yeah baby

[demi]

Buy it from CC and you get a $10 giftcard

[demi]

btw, DQ2 is like, a totally different game after 1. i dont think i could ever have anyone play DQ1. it never existed as far as i know.

[AdmiralViscen]

Do all the characters in DQ4 have preset jobs?

The only game in the series that I really dig is 3, I've dabbled in 1, 3, and 8.

[demi]

yes DQ4 is preset everything

[Darunia]

What was in party talk that would kill the E rating?

Nothing. It just seems they just did it...to do it. But that's the Europe version. It may be still in the US release

Apparently US=EU=AU

I liked party talk in 8 too. Here it's often not that clear where you need to go (first time playing this), so it would've been a neat feature. 

Otherwise the game is kickass. The battles are lightning fast and the soundtrack is really good.

Finished chapter 2 today

[AdmiralViscen]

I watched my roommate play it a couple of years ago on emulator, maybe I will buy it at CC

There's some nasty grammar and typos in the EU version.

[Positive Touch]

man i'd totally be playing the original trilogy if some cockwad hadn't jacked my DQ3   demi, i'd like to hear your impressions on DQ2 when you finish it because while i loved the other DQ's, i fucking hated that one so much.  the lack of direction in that game just made it a huge pain in the ass.  i actually smashed up my original GBC when i got killed in the cave on the way to the last level after bumbling around in there for an hour.  shittiest RPG level i've ever played.

[demi]

Dude DQ2 so far is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge step forward, I'm lovin it

I dont think I've had trouble finding stuff, but then again usually one guy in a city gives you that faint clue on where to go next

"Oh I hear there's a cave..."


I just got the Silver Key, about to enter the portal to Moonbrook and get the Princess

[Positive Touch]

yeah i started to have problems after i got the boat

but it is really nice to have a full party and battle multiple monsters

post some screens to give me a nostalgia boner

[Himu]

dq2 owns

fuck awesome game

[tiesto]

I hate DQ2... never knew where to go to find the Cape, and also the Rhone dungeon with all the pitfalls and the strong-ass enemies was the most annoying dungeon I've ever faced... I think I died like 6 times in there, and then had to resort to make a map of the dungeon.
