I know I said I wouldn't do it, but I did anyway. I thought about how some rpgs on Nintendo systems tend to go scarce out here in the wild soon after release, so I thought I'd better lock this one up.
I've never played VII, just VIII and the first DQ game. Oh, and a little bit of IX. I think I'll let this game take priority over my backlog when it comes out on Sept. 16.
I couldn't get into either of the Dragon Quest games I played (VII and VIII). I don't mind grinding, but having to do it from the beginning was a big turn off. If I'd had a 3DS when IX came out, I would probably have gotten it anyway though. I always liked the look of the series. I actually think Toriyama's art style is more suited for fantasy illustration rather than whatever genre Dragon Ball is.
I don't mind the grinding in DQ games that much because of all that Toriyama art. I could battle cute slimes all day.
ooooo I can't wait for this game!
Ever since I tried DQ VIII and fell really hard for it, I've been wanting to check out the other DQ games. I played the first one fairly recently and just a little bit of DQ IX.
I fell really hard for it too. I've played bits of 4-6 and they're fun, but VIII was special. I've heard a lot of interesting things about VII though, and this remade version of it looks great.
Yeah it's a good idea to buy RPGs as soon as you can before they get hard to find. That's how I missed out on games like Fantasy Life. Anyway, my favorite Dragon Quest game is Rocket Slime!
I need to return to Rocket Slime at some point. First time I played it I couldn't understand it.
I'm pre-ordering it soon on Amazon, that 20% is just too nice. I just wish they would fix the date on the physical copy. Last I checked it was still set at Dec 2016. I'm pretty excited to play it!
Me too. I'm already thinking of how I'm going to finish up the games I'm playing now so I can dig in day-one.
