Brilliant! I should have thought of this! Yeah, Gamestop reserve is all paid off in trade-in credit. But I'll just cancel and save it for Reach.

Hmm, I just finished DQ5 a month ago. Picross 3D is almost done, I think I may need to buy this. I actually completely forgot that this game was even coming out.

Met 3 guys in Kinokuniya who stopped by Nintendo, said 'the 30 people were lined up before the store opened at 9.' I got to NY at 10. Bummer

I really hope mine gets it out at midnight, but they rarely let me down. Yes, I just said that Wal-Mart rarely lets me down. But by god when it comes to midnight releases they are on the ball.

It's said that for tons of games that have come out. I don't know if it still is but it said the same for alan wake and they definitely had it and have it still in stores. They're site isn't so great about that.

That's weird, since I saw the game in the display case at Walmart yesterday. Someone asked if they could buy it, but the system denied the sale, presumably because it was too early.

It'smuch easier for me to tweet stuff, including pictures. @JKTrix if you like, feel free to share what I put there on here. Starts in 20!

Edit: yeah, I'n too far away from the truck right now but I will be getting some of that. Gotta be 200+ people in this line

Damn you DSlite for breaking in a timing like this. I wish I had the money to buy a DS. I would have been all over this game.

Something I didn't notice when I played the Japanese version is that characters seem to get experience even if they're dead for what they contributed to the battle. My priest died 5 turns into this boss fight, but still got about 35-40% the experience the rest of the party got. Very cool.

Neat. I always hated having to restart boss battles early on without Zing. Too much experience loss.

Something you may have missed, but there's a Fan in the first dungeon so you may have just been economical :lol

Aeana, noticed you're using Fans. Trying to plan out a Magic Knight and/or Paladin and wondering if Fans are worth the trouble for Hustle Dance? I'm presuming there's no Sage's Stone to abuse? :(

Bought the guide yesterday, it's pretty big (450 pages?). Covers a lot more than the VIII guide did, whole pages for boss fights. Also, full drawn pictures of all the weapons, armor, accessories, and enemies so you can see what a set is going to look like (sort of) before you try it on. I'm pleased with it.

Btw, where do I change job? I keep reading it's at an Alltrades Abbey, but I don't know if I've missed it or if I haven't reached that part yet. I'm at

Your spoiler tag didn't work :lol

N/m you fixed it.

Also, where are the first metal slimes at so I can level myself beyond what's necessary?

Not that far. You can't miss it since it's part of the story.

I've been playing the game lately, also. Is there a mission guide? I've been missing quite a bunch and some I'm not sure where to go to fulfill.

I'm just playing to pass the time. I know I won't play it anymore until after I'm finished with DQIX but the idea of having this one to go back to after it is nice.

Yeah, I'm using fans for hustle dance. Want very much. I don't know if the game has sage's stones, though.

Also... wow at the guide. I might have to pick it up in that case. I figured it was dinky like 8's.
