This OT really bums me out.

I sincerely doubt we'll ever see a localized version of this

Oh well, there's always All The Bravest...........Maybe........

Huh?

You, uh... do know what All The Bravest is, right?

 

[zroid]

Oh well, there's always All The Bravest...........Maybe........

ಠ_ಠ

 

[Gloam]

Huh?

People were thinking that was going to be the name of Bravely Default when the trademark popped up. Then, All the Bravest was revealed and, well, back to square one.

Yeah, I was wondering if he missed the reveal of All The Bravest.

 

[Thoraxes]

Yeah, I was wondering if he missed the reveal of All The Bravest.

Don't do this to him now.

 

[H3xum]

Yeah, I was wondering if he missed the reveal of All The Bravest.

Indeed I did

CRAP

Now I don't even have BD to look forward to ((((((((((((((((((((

 

[TurnipFritters]

It's coming out in NA in October. Tell all your friends and enter it into Amazon and Gamestop's computers and then Nintendo/SE will have to release it or else they'll be really, really embarrassed.

 

[Bladenic]

Indeed I did

CRAP

Now I don't even have BD to look forward to ((((((((((((((((((((

LMAO I feel sorry for you.

 

[Soulhouf]

I don't really worry about the localization. Nintendo will handle it as they did with the last entries.

 

[TEJ]

I don't really worry about the localization. Nintendo will handle it as they did with the last entries.

You mean Rocket Slime 3, Dragon Quest X, and DQM: Terrys Wonderland?

 

[Megalosaro]

And Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road Victory. And the 25th Anniversary Collection

 

[Ledsen]

You mean Rocket Slime 3, Dragon Quest X, and DQM: Terrys Wonderland?

Only one of those is a mainline DQ game, and even that one happens to be Wii (dead platform) MMORPG (risky genre, especially on consoles). None of them should serve as an indicator of whether they will translate DQX.

 

[hongcha]

DQVII localization is pretty much a sure thing. DQX will likely come as well, but I think they're waiting for the Wii U version before they localize it.

 

[urfe]

Think I'm going to hold off until I finish Layton vs AA and Bravely Default.

I know if I buy this, both games will remain unfinished.

Then honestly, DQVII should last me at least four months.

Good time to be a "casual" gamer in Japan.

 

[Soulhouf]

You mean Rocket Slime 3, Dragon Quest X, and DQM: Terrys Wonderland?

This is a mainline DQ.
DQX is quite special case but will come to NA on WiiU.

According to this slide...

http://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/news/pdf/13q3slides.pdf#page=4

DQ7 is considered an HD game.

 

[Kenka]

According to this slide...

http://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/news/pdf/13q3slides.pdf#page=4

DQ7 is considered an HD game.

Maybe it has HD towns?

 

[Omegasquash]

Bring it to the states and I'll buy it.

And let me be clear, I want this, badly.

 

[Father_Brain]

According to this slide...

http://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/news/pdf/13q3slides.pdf#page=4

DQ7 is considered an HD game.

Yeah, all retail releases for dedicated gaming devices are classified as "HD" in their fiscal results. Very odd.

 

[grimshawish]

I guess at some point SE tried to make the HD transition 'look' better; and so now have to continue the stupid format.

 

[PRjumpman124]

DQVII localization is pretty much a sure thing.

Didn't Reggie say he put almost 200 hours into DQIX? You'd think this was a no brainer.

Thanks. I watched the beginning of this when it was live, but quit because I just wanted to see it all for the first time in my hands.

Just means that SE didn't give them enough money / Famitsu didn't deem it important enough to score higher. Famitsu scores don't reflect game quality even a little.

Just read (ie skimmed) an interview on Dengeki where one of the devs said you can switch between two different camera angles! Can't find any info/comparison shots, maybe one of you will have better luck:

[clem84]

For the love of god please localize this!! The 3DS is starving for old school JRPGs

 

[Flock]

pre-ordered this along with a 3ds LL from amazon japan through a proxy. My first 3DS and first 3DS game... well i did also get soul hackers and Project X Zone but this will more than likely what I get started with... can't wait!!

Based Google Translate:

But if you continue to see the three-dimensional human beings I actually impossible, eyes and head fucked so tired, I'm that require adjustment.

lol.

Would these be the two different camera angles? The pics are right under the part where they discuss that.

Overhead like DQ IX, and something that's more behind the back?

If this didn't come to America I'd be surprised, seeing as they brought DQ V and VI over kicking and screaming (maybe that had to do with promoting IX, not sure).

 

[fates]

Didn't Reggie say he put almost 200 hours into DQIX? You'd think this was a no brainer.

Add to that this game has some modifications to bring it closer to DQ9.

IMO, I feel like Nintendo would be more than happy to bring this one over. The problem here I think is Square Enix as they would be ones localizing it... and DQ7 is a freakin' huge translation undertaking.

 

[Deleted member 20920]

VII's huge script might prove daunting after V and VI's mediocre sales.

 

[hongcha]

My copy has shipped from Amazon JP - will get it tomorrow. Can't wait!!

 

[Soriku]

Nintendo/SE might've skipped Rocket Slime 3 and Terry's Wonderland (barring surprise late localizations) but I don't see them skipping DQ VII, large script be damned.

 

[Aeana]

I was charged by Play-Asia on the 3rd, but they won't send it out until Thursday morning, as usual. I'll be playing it on Friday.

 

[Man God]

I'd be rather shocked if DQ VII and Bravely Default didn't end up getting localized in the next 12-15 months or so.

 

[mattiewheels]

VII's huge script might prove daunting after V and VI's mediocre sales.

It's sad that we even have to have this conversation... I just hope they see it as one last shot on new hardware and we at least see this one if nothing else.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

We need a Euro release, make up for Enix's mistakes of ignoring us for the original release.

 

[Deeku]

Crap, thought I pre-ordered this, turns out I didn't:/

So just ordered a copy from neowing, hopefully will have it within a week!

 

[Megalosaro]

Have you seen DQVII's script?

http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/img/gmw/docs/482/474/58.jpg

Binders and Binders full of script.

Apparently there was a Nico special the other day.

http://www.youtube.com/user/DQOTAKU

 

[RyougaSaotome]

So hyped for this! I'd be grabbing it today if my local shop wasn't terrified of getting caught by SE.

SE games are the only ones they refuse to sell on a Wednesday. Boooo.

 

[ranmafan]

My copy shipped last night from amazon.jp. Hoping it arrives early today but probably will show up tomorrow morning. Can't wait to play it after work!

 

[Zee-Row]

Hopefully if Fire Emblem sells well it will get Nintendo to localize this.

 

[fates]

Hopefully if Fire Emblem sells well it will get Nintendo to localize this.

Given what's been going on with Fire Emblem availability, I don't think it's a question of "if" anymore.

 

[bomma_man]

didn't iwata say the other day they were going to continue localising 3rd party games? seems like an obvious candidate.

Script be damned.

Is the story really that huge though? I know the game's like 100+ hours, but how much is that pure story?

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I'll be buying this as soon as it hits the eShop! Really looking forward to a good old meaty RPG.

 

[Metallix87]

You mean Rocket Slime 3, Dragon Quest X, and DQM: Terrys Wonderland?

I'm convinced the latter two are likely to come this year.

 

[Man God]

Joker 2 did really, amazingly, catastrophically bad in the west.

 

[Maximus.]

Looks good! Wouldnt mind a NA release! DQ is the only jrpg series I enjoy playing.
