Support NeoGAF

[Alex Stroud]

It took a long time (dumping both NA and JP ROMs, decrypting, figuring out how to replace and rebuild, etc.), but I managed to pull off the music replacement. I can confirm it does work just fine.

Late, but this is terrific news. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Joey Ravn]

My copy arrived this morning! I'm seriously considering dropping out from Final Fantasy IV to play DQ IV to VI and catch up with this. I'm really not feeling FFIV and I'm really hyped for the DS trilogy and VII

 

[PhoenixSFT]

When does Streetpass functionality become available in game? I'll be out and about all day Saturday and Sunday and want to have Streetpass activated so I can hopefully get some hits.

 

[Cody_D165]

My copy just shipped! Should arrive tomorrow. Excited.

That reminds me of how I'm stuck on FFIV DS... Toward the end too...

 

[Crazymoogle]

It also has faster battles and load times than the ps2 version. It's just way faster and less of a slog.

I vaguely recall this being solved by running off HDLoader? That it was the disc transfer speed causing the problem?

 

[th4tguy]

Broke down and "pre-ordered" the game from Amazon (got the 20% off prime discount". Comes in Tuesday though.

 

[SuperSah]

Come on... copy should be here in morning.


Come. On.

edit: UK Amazon price rose from £28 to £35. Good sign of popularity?

 

[Already Torn]

Does Amazon always take forever? Says my copy will get here Tuesday. I mean $10 off is $10 off but still.

 

[ghibli99]

Shipped... damn, I thought I marked this one as store pick-up? Oh well, hopefully it's release day delivery.

 

[Namikaze]

I forgot I ordered this on Amazon without switching my preorder to Best Buy. After the restocking fee etc, I might as well keep it. Getting 5% back on Amazon purchases too, even if that's barely anything compared to GCU. :/

 

[JC Lately]

Ok, preload complete. Games goes live at midnight, yes?

 

[Xhorder]

I got my copy today. But I have no time to play yet.... :-|

I doubt you'll have it active. I'd say aboUT 15 hours in

might not. some releases don't release until the eShop updates that day

 

[Oxx]

Eep. I imagine a significant proportion of players won't even play that long.

Over under one of these players is Jason Scheier.

One of my favourite things about playing Dragon Quest games is reading the way they translate it in a way they give the various towns the various dialects of the U.K.

 

[Mr. RPG]

My copy should arrive tomorrow.

I can't wait!

 

[RoryDropkick]

For whatever reason Amazon is sitting on my copy of the game and promises that it will be here tomorrow,but was supposed to have shipped it yesterday. So who knows. They also messed up my Transformers the Movie preorder and had it shipped from Austin to Dallas to San Antonio for whatever reason and made it arrive 2 days late.

 

[PhoenixSFT]

Good to know, I won't try to push through the opening hours to get it. Excited to get into DQ7 tomorrow, played DQ5 earlier this summer to prepare!

 

[786110]

Copy arrived today! Unfortunately I have a backlog of work work that needs to be finished in the next 48 hours that was just sprung on me but I'm going to try to sneak some playtime in.

 

[jackal27]

This is going to be me tomorrow:

I was going to pick it up at midnight, but I think I'm going to wait so I can use my Target discount.

When does the EU eshop usually update?

Yeah, it works well for the series. I also like the crazy localization changes in the Ace Attorney games.

 

[SuperSah]

It will be midnight if it's a midnight title.

 

[Arkeband]

Hell ya. Got mine today, Amazon breaking all the street dates.

They haven't been too bad in VII so far. I'm not opposed them, but they took them way too far in IV.

I am more against the forced puns/pop culture references

It is. I'm downloading now

Had a similar problems earlier this year with Amazon. Packages having a delay on shipping, sent to the wrong distribution center, etc. But only when they shipped USPS, if it was UPS I always get it the day I'm supposed to.

Woah. What do you need to run this?

 

[Rootbeer]

Course I had to order through best buy this time... dang.

Enjoy!

Yeah, mine's been "Arriving tomorrow by 8pm / Being shipped today" all day. Nervous!

EDIT: Yay, updated to "On the Way."

 

[ShadowElliot]

Got the shipping notification from Amazon about 2 hours ago, promising that it'll be delivered tomorrow by 8pm.

Can't wait to hear the DQ theme, always hypes me up for the adventure!

 

[Teriyaki Blues]

Love/hate here. Great for worldbuilding, characterization, flavor, all that stuff. Bad because I'm a decently fast reader and they slow me down considerably.

I really don't mind the puns. The clever ones are fun to figure out, but I just like puns. The badder, the better. Though I don't know Japanese at all, I've heard/seen (too many translator's notes) that kind of wordplay is pretty common in their media, so I also respect a localization team who tries to keep the spirit alive while replacing things that don't translate.

UPS has my physical copy, still on track for delivery tomorrow. I guess I'm going to go to sleep now and pray the digital version is unlocked at midnight. Good luck to everyone else still in limbo. Have fun to all the lucky jerks who have the game already.

 

[Kouriozan]

Ah wow, it started to get hard already too, but that's because I'm too careless x)

 

[sixteen-bit]

Flying get!!

 

[Chesskid1]

is there any light fanservice in this like dq8?

mine arrives tomorrow!

 

[Lucreto]

Amazon UK increased the price from £28 to £35 which is a pain.

I am getting the game the same time as Builders as Amazon UK are using a cheap courier service which loses the game more often than not and bundling the games together makes them use a different courier.

I luckily got in at £28. I hope the price increase is due to the game's popularity. I've never had issues with Amazon and game releases. Mine will be here in the morning. Cue all day DQ for me!

 

[justjohn]

15mins till midnight and and it'll be mine. Can't wait.

 

[D-Man]

Amazon is shipping my order soon and I should be getting it by tomorrow.

Excited to finally give the series a go!

If you mean puff puff, then yes

 

[magnetic]

Nice little detail - all buttons advance text boxes, even the dpad and shoulder buttons. Very convenient!

And this game is really, really pretty. The lower camera plus the camera rotation really makes it come alive.

 

[Mercador]

Can you save pretty much everywhere or you have to go to the church ? Handheld = short play time.

Church is for main saves, but there is a quick save feature
