February 2013

Post some scans, maxy.

I don't pay much attention what happens to handhelds.

I'm sure those will pop up somewhere

archnemesis · « **Reply #4 on:** October 30, 2012, 10:41:22 AM »

It looks like a complete 3D remake judging from the scans.

Himu · « **Reply #5 on:** October 30, 2012, 12:22:20 PM »

oh my god it's a full on remake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Himu · « **Reply #6 on:** October 30, 2012, 12:25:13 PM »

Oh my god.

I never thought...NEVER. NEVER. NEVER. That DQ7 would get a 3d remake. NEVER.

I am AMAZED and shocked, and...holy shit.

Himu · « **Reply #7 on:** October 30, 2012, 12:27:14 PM »

Let's cast the sails and go back in time! Chrono Trigger's successor!

Hopefully with better pacing and more reasonable length!

With the best vignettes in the series!

This could be the best DQ game of all time, if they play their cards right.

demi · « **Reply #8 on:** October 30, 2012, 12:27:32 PM »

Wait I thought DQ7 was the one where you had to play like 50 hours before they unlocked the job system

Tasty · « **Reply #11 on:** October 30, 2012, 12:40:23 PM »

Wait this is a full remake? I thought this was 3D too like 8.

Ah, guess not. That makes this slightly more interesting to watch unfold now.

Tasty · « **Reply #12 on:** October 30, 2012, 12:41:38 PM »

Lol.

"What, you don't like DQX being an MMO? Uhhhh... here's a remake of an old game we're sure you'll like!"

Enix has been remaking Dragon Quest for ages, and the remakes regularly sell over a million copies.

Best DQ game in history gets a remake on Nintendo's handheld. There is no stronger blow Vita could take in the face, no stronger.

Monster Hunter was a much bigger blow. People (myself included) expected that on Vita. No one expected Dragon Quest on Vita.

Rusty Shackleford · « **Reply #15 on:** October 30, 2012, 02:33:52 PM »

Is it just safe to assume it's getting brought over to the West? The new guy can't tell if the old hands are being sarcastic about its porting chances

demi · « **Reply #16 on:** October 30, 2012, 02:34:47 PM »

I think it's a safe bet, published by Nintendo like the rest...

Rusty Shackleford · « **Reply #18 on:** October 30, 2012, 02:40:12 PM »

Yeah I always wondered about Nintendo publishing handheld SE games. So SE just believes there's not enough ROI and Nintendo does, or SE doesn't have the logistical capabilities in the West, or...?

S-E gave up on localizing DQ in the west, especially after the ds remakes bombed. Simple. So Nintendo took up the mantle by publishing and localizing IX and VI.

Rusty Shackleford · « **Reply #20 on:** October 30, 2012, 02:51:44 PM »

Oh the remakes bombed? All three? That's a shame. I remember V being out of print early or something. Man they must have done really bad to scare off SE.

Himu · « **Reply #21 on:** October 30, 2012, 02:53:59 PM »

DQ4 and 5 were done by S-E of America and Europe. IV and V did horrible numbers. So when DQ9 dropped, Nintendo took up the mantle, seeing a good opportunity for sales. 4 and 5 bombed, Nintendo of America/Europe did 6 and DQMJ2.

Rusty Shackleford · « **Reply #22 on:** October 30, 2012, 02:58:59 PM »

I see. What about the FF remakes on the GBA? Those were published by Nintendo too and they obviously predate the DS remakes. SE thought the GBA ports weren't worth the effort either?

Himu · « **Reply #23 on:** October 30, 2012, 03:02:55 PM »

Guess not, but remember that S-E didn't even do DQ9. That is the biggest sign they gave up on DQ, or Nintendo won DQ over with money.

Rusty Shackleford · « **Reply #24 on:** October 30, 2012, 03:12:07 PM »

Didn't DQ9 do really well in Japan? Was SE surprised by its success after farming out its production?

Himu · « **Reply #25 on:** October 30, 2012, 03:16:52 PM »

I'm pretty sure S-E was not surprised, but mind you we're talking about the west here. Japan's relationship with DQ is not the same as the wests. Nintendo tried all they could to make DQ9 a success in the west, likening it to the next Pokemon.

Rusty Shackleford · « **Reply #26 on:** October 30, 2012, 03:24:03 PM »

Yeah I remember the huge advertising blitz. You didn't see that many DS games publicized so heavily. Wonder if this ups the chances of a DQ8 remake. The 3DS' hardware could handle that, right?

Himu · « **Reply #27 on:** October 30, 2012, 03:29:18 PM »

I'm pretty sure they'll do DQ8 after this if not immediately. It has a lot less things to do for a remake than 7. They just need to fix the alchemy pot, tighten up the battle speed, enable a first person battle mode, ideally.

I'd also love 1-3 3d remakes more than anything. They deserve remakes and I'd love to have access to the entire series on one system.

SantaC · « **Reply #28 on:** October 30, 2012, 03:31:07 PM »

only DQ game I ever played was DQ8. How is DQ7?

I love the overworld in 8, but the battles felt slooooooow like hell.

YES the first trilogy remakes in 3d would be awesome! I played all three on the GBC again over the summer.. DQII would be great if it were expanded in a remake (more equipment, fleshed-out story, etc...) The game world was so big for its time but it's so empty.

Himu · « **Reply #30 on:** October 30, 2012, 03:35:33 PM »

7 is good but flawed as ever fuck. If you're talking story, it's Horii taking his concept with Chrono Trigger and going to town with it but making the length 100+ hours. If it's gameplay, it is a drawn out slog. Wait for 3ds remake so we can see what improvements they've made to pacing (story or gameplay).

Himu · « **Reply #31 on:** October 30, 2012, 03:56:29 PM »

Shards? Really Borys?

Really?

Miss one shard, double back and explore (two versions of the same!) dungeon again to find it. Not play for a few months and still missing a shard? Good fucking luck, you'd might as well start the game over.

Shards are shit. What the fuck is wrong with you?

But I was not annoyed. In fact that showed me how vast and rich the game is. To get "stuck" in a RPG? It is unheard of. You can get stuck in adventure games but not in jRPG (except too hard bosses).

That's some serious weeaboo shit right there, Borys. For real.

More DQ is cool and all, but is this really a big deal from a console wars perspective? I don't get it.

Then again I rarely pay attention to console wars stuff.

Level-5 developing DQVIII, and IX isn't surprising. The only one developed internally at Enix/Square Enix has been DQX.

That's interesting. I've never really tracked development of the games like that. Enix (then SE) was so synonymous with DQ. I had no idea they've had external studios develop all the previous games.

Is there any particular reason why three different developers have been used to make DQ? Seems like such a lucrative contract that any studio would kill to retain the work.

mjemirzian · « **Reply #46 on:** October 31, 2012, 05:32:53 AM »

I think this current gen has shown that consoles have legs and they can recover from a slow start. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple years from now Vita was doing better after a price drop and a major release or two.

In any case, console wars are silly.

archnemesis · « **Reply #47 on:** October 31, 2012, 05:39:51 AM »

I hope that will be the case, but I fear that many developers have already abandoned ship. At least Gust and Falcom are still on board.

Shards are shit. What the fuck is wrong with you?

My other issue with them is that they basically force you to exhaustively explore every nook and cranny for fear of missing a shard. I like exploration but on my own terms where I can decide whether a given area looks interesting to me or not. Being forced to obsessively scour every town and dungeon doesn't feel like fun exploration, it feels like trying to find your lost keys that have got to be somewhere in your apartment, or wait I could've left them in the grocery store, let's think back and retrace my steps ... I mean, who the fuck wants that experience replicated anywhere.

You have never played Shenmue or Dragon Warrior VII and Shenmue doesn't involve collecting shitty puzzle pieces you need to progress and have to search every nook and cranny and the entire game world if you missed one.
