I don't like that font.

lol I hope Square Onix becomes the mascot of E3!

Is DQVII really like 100 hours long? That's what it says on howlongtobeat. I don't have time to put 100 into one game.

The remake is faster than the original, so it shouldn't take anyone 100 hours to complete this version. It is a long game, though. 60 hours is a good estimate for average time on the remake I think.

 

[FunkyDealer]

yes and yes

Thanks! I guess I'll keep checking in every now and then.

[PKrockin]

edit: lol yeah crediting yourself with inventing "tsundere" should not be a pat on the back, it should be a badge of shame

Well then, you're not gonna have time for DQ7

 

[PMS341]

LMAO tsundere

 

[Synless]

Have they talked about DQ7 yet?

 

[MaximumSpider]

It's cringy when games by NISA mention that word lol

People always overestimate on How long to beat. Personally I have been through the Ps1 game twice 80 hr first, 70 second playthrough (mainly because knowing the battle system allowed me to lose 10 hours of grinding out better classes second time around)

I'm thinking release is very soon.

 

[Sterok]

Interesting how they went from Yokai to Monster Hunter to Dragon Quest. The three third party titans of Japan all in a row.

 

[bizzarewars]

THIS LOOKS SO GOOD

 

[ScrabbleDude]

I'd like to see them get into a battle.

Did they rename Orgodemir?

Also do they allow character switching easier than having to go back to the first town and swap inside Maribel's house?

 

[Jb]

This looks cute. I've been meaning to get into DQ, but from what I've heard 4 or 5 are better entry points for newcomers.

 

[Caddywompus]

Oh man, early access demo codes

Wait, Humble Bundle?

Ha, I'm not crazy.

I thought that's what he said but I don't see anything else about it on the site.

Hopefully that means a Nintendo Humble Bundle is coming soon. I love those deals.

 

[Magnus]

Being featured right now

It's just the regular DQ font, isn't it? I figure it just didn't shrink down to 3DS resolution all that great, but tradition is tradition.

 

[Agent Unknown]

Wow, stream is really laggy for me right now.

Yes, that thread was pointless.

Wow, that's kind of cold, I agree it might not be needed now but was just trying to provide info at the time.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Ha, I'm not crazy.

They were talking about this https://www.humblebundle.com/e3-digital-ticket, I think.

This font hasn't been used before, no.

I can't wait for this.

A 40h difference is still huge. What was changed? Was the old version super grindy or something?

This is such an improvement. Do you know if grinding is less required now? I can handle a bit of grinding sometimes, but DQ 2 and DQ6 were sometimes just too much.

 

[Angry Chair]

lol

This is the best thing to come out of E3.

 

[spookyfish]

What is the Nintendo Diaz?

 

[Conrad Link]

This guy is too excited for DQ lol, he doesn't know how to work with a translator.

 

[Megalosaro]

They rebalanced and reworked how the job system worked.

My first playthrew was 140 hours on the ps1 version.

 

[Weebos]

This guy gives no breaks for the translator lol.

 

[Ridley327]

This font hasn't been used before, no.

Really? I guess it looks really similar on my phone screen, which shrinks things down further.

 

[hampig]

Just fyi, 4 and 5 are out on IOS and I think they control extremely well. Purists would certainly disagree, but I think it's the best way to play the game.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

Please release soon; after this demo I'm convinced they're done with the game and it's ready for release whenever they feel like giving it to us.

 

[Aeana]

I wouldn't have said grinding was required in the original. And honestly, you'll end up fighting more in the remake than in the original because the visible enemies are often unavoidable. But the classes were rebalanced so that, on average, they require fewer battles to progress, and battles are extremely fast on the highest speed.

 

[Dad]

heard these games were pretty ok

 

[Muzy72]

Is this game a good place to jump into the franchise with?

 

[jblank83]

I've never played DQ VII but I would definitely recommend DQ 4 as a starting point. Alternatively there's DQ II on mobile which is also a good starting point.

They're all great games though and easy to recommend to any RPG fan.

 

[Cob32]

This guy is too excited for DQ lol, he doesn't know how to work with a translator.

Hope it's because he knows he gets to drop to the bomb "going to be on Eshop tonight!!"

 

[Arkeband]

To 100% the game you'd need to master every class, each of which takes anywhere from like 100 to 300 battles.

And there were a metric buttload of classes, including monster classes.

edit: Nice, monster classes are still in.

 

[Niraj]

Is the demo also for EU folks or US only?

I'd assume the latter, but no idea.

 

[bizzarewars]

Is this game a good place to jump into the franchise with?

They're all more or less self contained. I haven't played VII but I'd imagine it'd be a fine starting point.

 

[timshundo]

is this a DS -> 3DS port?

edit: ah, ps1.

 

[VandalD]

Is this game a good place to jump into the franchise with?

You can really jump in with any of them. So yeah I don't see why not.

 

[Immaculate]

target thread makes me hope this gets released today lol

suprise eshop release

 

[mjc]

is this a DS -> 3DS port?

PS1 to 3DS, but they basically reworked it from the ground up.

 

[Effect]

Never played DQ7 but just heard different things regarding it. Didn't know it had a town you could build up and expand.

 

[Aeana]

is this a DS -> 3DS port?

No. If you think DS games could look like this, you're mistaken.

 

[kuroneko0509]
