no no I guess I should have pointed out that I'm playing DQIV right now :lol

Ah cool cool, no worries.
Still working on DQ 1 and 2 , have not opened 4 or 5 yet, will do IX then work my way on the others.

 

[Yaweee]

So any updates on what deals are out there?

No ToysRUs near me.
Looks like $5 off at Walmart
Gamestop has a preorder trade-in bonus in stores, and a 20% off and free shipping online.
Kmart has 50% off select games with a DQ9 purchase.

 

[brandonh83]

the DQIV translation is amazing.

The enemy are defeated
This is cursed willage Taborov. I wish I am not born in here. If I am not, my daughter is still living.

wait, they're all talking as if they just finished FFXIII, guess it's intentional.

There was plan that my son is soon to marry she. Now I am with no mood for to buy and sell.

I'm only Americana

ok whatever you're right and I feel dumb now. wait, no I don't. it's still hilarious.

 

[Regulus Tera]

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.

Death is a once in a lifetime experience!

 

[lordoftherink]

Ha, I just introduced Dragon Quest IV to my little sister last night. She played pretty much up to where you are. She's loving the accents and pun-filled names so far.

Back on topic: one.more.day.

 

[Freyjadour]

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.

Fans it is. Trying to avoid needing a Priest.

 

[grandjedi6]

according to Wal-Mart's website, the game won't be sold in Wal-Mart stores, online only :lol

The system is programmed to say that for any game that hasn't been released yet. It just means that you can't go in stores and find the game right now.

 

[Aeana]

Fans it is. Trying to avoid needing a Priest.

Why's that? Priests are awesome in DQ, with spears and heavy armor.

 

[brandonh83]

guys I was just making fun of the site, I didn't believe it :lol

anyway I'll probably spend the first 10 hours on character creation.

 

[Raw64life]

So do the characters have default names or should I start thinking of name now? Because I always go with whatever their name is supposed to be.

 

[brandonh83]

I either use their default names or the name of a fantasy character from another game or movie or book or whatever. I feel like when I try to come up with my own fantasy name, it's way cornier than even naming it after another fantasy character. :lol

But nothing is worse than giving a game character my name, or my gf's name or something. Nothing. It makes me feel so awkward.

AND BRANDON PLUNGED HIS SWORD DEEP WITHIN THE DRAGON'S SKULL

wait no I didn't I just grinded for 100 hours.

 

[Aeana]

Picked up the guide. Jeez, it's huge.

 

[Hex]

Picked up the guide. Jeez, it's huge.

Any poster or anything, or just nice big guide of goodies?

 

[RurouniZel]

Random question (probably a stupid one but...). Will I need an American DS for Tag Mode to work with the American Dragon Quest IX? My DSi is Japanese, so I'm a little worried...

 

[Freyjadour]

Too many other classes! Was trying for a "no dedicated healer" party. Usually a Sage's Stone and big single target heal work for me. We'll see

Check out some of the titles to the guide sections.

"Been caught stealing, once, at level 5" :lol

 

[ITA84]

Random question (probably a stupid one but...). Will I need an American DS for Tag Mode to work with the American Dragon Quest IX? My DSi is Japanese, so I'm a little worried...

I'm not 100% sure, but wireless compatibility should be based on the version of the games, not the DS itself.

 

[Bloodworth]

Random question (probably a stupid one but...). Will I need an American DS for Tag Mode to work with the American Dragon Quest IX? My DSi is Japanese, so I'm a little worried...

Tag mode is cross-regional. Don't you dare forget the game if you go to Japan.

 

[Boney]

Tag Mode works with diferent region games. (America with Japan). And I don't think this game has any DSi exclusive content, so it should work right?

 

[RurouniZel]

Thanks, just wanted to make sure I didn't need to pony up the money to fully enjoy the game.

To those that are playing, how long does it take to get to and unlock Quester's Rest?
(Just curious since it has to be unlocked for the gamestop event)

 

[Bentendo]

I'm definitely not going to get the guide (really tight on money right now), but just out of curiosity, who's doing it?

NVM I found it. BradyGames.

 

[Loto]

For people picking the guides up early, are you getting them from Gamestop?

 

[Man God]

Picked up the guide. Jeez, it's huge.

Any good so far?

I found the FF XIII guide better than the actual game. Pretty damn accurate too. Also I wonder how much access these guys had to the DLC quests and how complete their lists are.

2 hours? Something like that. It's the second city.


And yeah I got the guide from GS, they had to go in the back for it though.

Seems pretty comprehensive. Nice dungeon maps, full alchemy recipe list, guides for all of the quest content in the game, and I'm sure there's more but I don't want spoilers for the stuff I didn't experience in the Japanese game. It lists where to find all of the DLC quests and what their rewards are, but doesn't have any walkthrough text for them.

Questions:

1.Can you play the game from start to finish in co-op?

2. If you wanna play multiplayer, does it have to be 4 players, or can you play with 2/3 players?

1. Almost all of it. Have to at least get to the point where you unlock multiplayer. It's pretty early though.

2. 1-4 Players.

So I dug up Dragon Quest V, I intend to beat it before the end of the month. And I'm to the point where I need to choose between Nera and Bianca (aparently there's a third one as well?).

So I wanted to ask who did you choose. I'm probably going to go with Nera though, I just don't like the country bumpkin talk of Bianca, even though they're guilting me into marrying her

 

[Gyoru]

Not my video, but here's some footage of the NYC launch event (with ice cream truck)

Well, they're all decent choices I guess, but between Bianca and Nera, Nera is much more useful in battle because of her spell selection. Deborah is more melee-oriented if that's your kind of thing. She's also a terrible person.

I always choose Nera when I play.

Oh the older sister? Ha I'd love to see everybody's reaction to that. And I actually do use a lot more melee, but yeah she just seems like such a mean girl.

Gonna go with Nera, your little guilt trips won't work with me!

And isn't it wierd for you to be choosing wives? :lol

Overworld map exploration sometimes gets on my nerves, but it's still amazing. Thanks IX for making me go back to V.

Oh god I can't choooooooose!

 

[C-Jo]

I'm so excited for this. The girlfriend and I are heading to Best Buy first thing in the morning to pick up a couple copies.

Just choose already, it doesn't effect the story.

 

[Boney]

It doesn't? How about my kid? I'll make my mind after the soccer re-run. Debora's outburst made me laugh.

It just changes for what skills your partner will have but the main story stays the same.

It's not that odd. The main character is a king in a medieval setting after all. Being

 

[Oxx]

I thought Bianca was really sweet. I never even considered the other options.

 

[firex]

They can use different equipment, too. Deborah is actually a very effective fighter because she has access to some of the stronger weapons.

I meant for Aeana. And holy this match is amazing!

 

[Freyjadour]

Deborah is a great party member and hilarious to boot.

Spoiler

Sleeping on the floor and still gets knocked up! Impressive work there. :lol

 

[RoboManus]

the wife you choose also determines you kids hair colour

It's easily the best part of the Remake. Who cares about direct control or extra party member? It's all about Deborah!

 

[Aeana]

The original has direct control.

And Deborah sucks.

 

[Boney]

Oh man, now you're making me want to go with Deborah and ZING!

 

[Man God]

The original has direct control.

And Deborah sucks.

I knew that when I typed it, but my brain kept telling me 6 was the one they changed it on, not 5.

Brain no work good with too much coffee and too little sleep! :lol

Deborah being terrible is the best part of the whole equation. She's not even terribly great at being melee. She ends up being a poor (whipped) man's Alena. I like how the kids look though, regular Saiyans instead of Super Saiyans! :lol

 

[Oxx]

I named one of my kids in DQV Beyonce.
