Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
xenoblade does alot more than DQ8 does.
I agree that its probably not "quite a bit" more powrful than the PS2 tho.

I read DQVII announced, thought it was getting localized. Disappointing, I already have VIII on PS2. And this won't get released in English anyway.

You what sucks. I misread it as Dragon Quest VII and thought the game was finally getting localized. Fuck you Square Enix. Ruining people's hopes and dreams.

Meh. Can't really get excited for something that likely won't be localized sadly.

I wasn't considering the N3DS. Is there any chance this is exclusive like Xenoblade is?
Man, DQ8 and Xenoblade on the same platform. 3DS is a monster that could suck several hundred hours from me on those games alone.

Thought it was a localization for the already released game for a moment hahahaha....hahaaa.ha...
The localization for this one is already done though unless they change a ton of stuff.
If this gets released here, with the dub and orchestral track intact it'll probably end up being the best version for me just because it won't have outrageous load times.

Holy shit, seriously?! This just made my day a million% better!
What is this sides nonsense?
This is a surprising stealth announcement and not something I's expect for the franchise. Where were the timer countdown teaser sites?
Xenoblade visuals were compromised severely to make it work on the 3DS, and that's with the New 3DS exclusivity. I doubt this game will be New 3DS exclusive.
Not a chance, according to the official website, which states it will play on all 3DS systems. I wouldn't be surprised if it is "New 3DS enhanced", though. Better framerate, loading times, etc on a New 3DS.

Cool. I love this game.
Well that's interesting.
There's a decent amount of people around here who are essentially anti-handheld, and hate when "their" franchise ends up on one, or at least the weaker of the two current ones, because they, for whatever reason, just want to ignore the fact that the genre has, by and large, migrated there and a large fanbase is there for them.
I think there was some idea that DQ "switched sides" with that musou spin off being only on PS3/4, so I guess this is a bit of swerve for them.
DQI-III are not playable on the DS/3DS.
and gonna look worse
you missed the and Wii U part apparently.
I don't understand this. The recent HD versions of Square-Enix PS2 games - KH, KH2, FFX, FFX-2 - were great, and they sold really well. Why doesn't this get the same treatment? I mean, it makes sense either way. Portable stuff is selling better than console in Japan, 3DS is hardware king,, DQ has a longstanding history on Nintendo handhelds, now... But an HD version of this just makes more sense to me. Plus, being on 3DS, unless I really convince myself it's worth it to get a New 3DS from Japan, odds are good I'll likely never play it, anyway. Which blows.

Is this legit? I can't imagine DQ8 without the main four characters. I wonder how that even works.

Dragon Quest keeps on being that thing that console fanboys only care about when repping their console of choice.

I mean
if Sony wanted DQ on the PS4
it seems like they should have made the PS4 sell better in Japan?

I mean Fantasy Life localization was announced during the Treehouse Event, I'm still holding hope.
i don't know really, just for i could play it and justify my purchase/support DQ. i was going to say portability is pretty nice though for grinding, but its great on PC as well because i can multitask. if i finish my 1st playthrough in the next couple weeks i'd be hardpressed to buy it unless it's cheap.

Wow...oddest remake ever.
IIRC the JP ver. didn't have Orchestrated music but that was given for the English release, correct?
Who is developing this game? Level 5? Are S-E remaking it to distance itself from Level 5 or something?
Noooo!
The script needs ta be updated to current DQ standards. It'll totally need ta be touched up to include updated references to past DQ characters an stuff, and PUNS!
I'm on this team! Gimme the game I haven't already played/owned!

No wonder it's not localized in America
They can be played in Wii mode on Wii u. (Dragon quest anniversary disc we (the west) never got)

Only in Japan though right? Or are the VC games even out here on Wii? (I know DQ7 remake definitely isn't out here).

better plan to buy a japanese 3DS+game if you want to play this version.
I'm surprised people still even "hope" that VII will come out.
Square-Enix passed over VII a long time ago and you all know it.
Oh, we got those games. Just not on the Wii.
We got the awful mobile versions instead.
