There's a 1up interview with Yuji Horii about DQIX. At the end they asked him about DQVI. Here's what he said:
I was hoping he'd confirm it and say "yes!" But he said "it's a possibility." I know another Square-Enix guy said that the DQ remakes didn't sell that well in the US, so I hope this doesn't mean DQVI is cancelled.
I still hope it comes over.

The slood looks like my character stole it from some Dragon Quest theme park haha it's amazing!
Man, thieves are terrible thieves. Stealing is almost impossible. I managed to get EXTREMELY lucky and got a dexterity-boosting drop early in the game, and my thief STILL sucks at stealing.
Anyone have any suggestions to make him a better thief. I had this idea of always getting his Coup De Gras, but is there a way to trigger that constantly?

Getting this game tomorrow. Although I'm somewhat disappointed about multiplayer and tag mode here in America. I was looking forward to playing it the way it was intended.
Any ideas for multiplayer meet ups, or at least places to tag (excluding PAX, etc.)? E.g. If living in the city of Chicago, going to a specific spot in Millennium Park, or hopping on the L's last car during specific times of the day. Can't remember where I saw something similar, but it looked promising.

I believe that the trait deftness increase the success of the "half-inch" skill, but an expert can chime in and provide a more thorough answer.

The Metal Slime farming spot was working well until I hit level 15. Then the slimes dried out.

Can I change class of my companions early or do I have to wait ?
Fuck me. Staying by my sister's for now while I'm overseas and her step-down converter doesn't seem to like ny US DS charger for whatever reason. Between my flight here and my session last night, I finally made it to Stornway. But now my DS is dead and I have no means to charge it. Weird, because the converter works just fine with my iPhone's charger.
I really want to continue playing... Something tes me that I'm about to be able to recruit party members!

FYI, there's a much better metal slime enemy in the Bloomdale area that gives around 3x what a Metal Slime does and spawns a lot easier. I just played a few minutes before work and got my Hero to 12 Priest in 2 spawns in about 5 minutes.

I'm only nine or ten hours in but I have no issues with the story. Yes, the Celestian plot is just a framing device, but the "vignettes" pushing you forward are wonderful so far. I prefer it to the usual convoluted nonsense, certainly.
<3 alchemy.
Just made a fire blade (attack 83) and a gigaspike whip (attack 68) which turned my mage into a powerhouse. Can't wait until she maxes whips and I can turn her into a more physically powerful job and tear stuff apart. Same goes for my heroine, with boomerangs. I need to get her a more powerful one, though. Once I happen across a swallowtail in shops, I should at least be able to make a gusterang (attack 61) using the agility ring I got from the wifi shop today~

It's the same concept, but there are some differences. 1) The alchemy pot is stationary, and isn't with you at all times, 2) Alchemy is completed instantly, so you don't have to walk around and wait for stuff to cook, 3) There are far, far, far more recipes scattered throughout the world, and they're added to a list from which you can simply select an item and make it (you can even choose the number of items to make if you have the materials for several).Hobbun said:

Ok, so it makes it a lot more easier in several aspects and a little more difficult in one (in it being stationary). Although that can even easily be remedied eventually I am sure when you learn "Zoom!"
On another note, anyone know how well the game is selling in your area so far? From my local GS, not so good. They only sold 4 copies on launch and only 6 more since when I picked my copy up, yesterday.
I hope this game really picks up in sales.
I reached the point where I made my party. I take it I can't yet change classes though? I refuse to put in any skill points on my main character. I want him to be an axe wielder.
Also, the text speed is killing me. Not so much when I'm actually reading it, but if it looks unimportant and I just want to skim or if I talk to someone I already talked to without realizing it, I have no way to just skip the text. GRRRR!
Other than that it's kind of boring but only because I'm like level 5 and all jRPGs are boring in the beginning. I have high hopes for once it opens up more and I can mix and match classes better.

I was expecting to be very annoyed with the text speed in DQIX... but honestly, it's not that big of a deal to me, thankfully.

I just spent two hours farming for alchemy (and earning the Armamentalist, but that wasn't tough at all). Kind of screwed over Dragona, though, as I turned her Tracksuit Top into a Tussler's Top without realizing it was male-only. I had a spare Robe of Concealment, though, so it's not too bad.Aeana said:

this game is amazing. I really hope it sells well.
I have yet to get any tags and I don't think I will where I live either, unless this game hits cultural phenomenon status sometime soon

I had the same problem with my DS charger when I went to India. The problem is that the DS charger inconveniently happens to have a different voltage than most other chargers and the converter is either too strong or not strong enough, I don't remember exactly. The DS's charger is I believe 120v and you can try looking for a converter that's compatible with the DS charger. I came across one in India and basically it was a converter with a dial on it with which you could change the voltage.Mejilan said:

I really hope Dragon Quest VII gets a DS or 3DS port/remake too. I was playing the game on my PSP and had gotten maybe 25-30 hours in when I hit an unavoidable crash with POPS. I would love to get another crack at it, especially if they sharpened up the soft PS1 graphics to look as good as the DS remakes.
Anyways, my copy of Dragon Quest IX should be arriving today.

Yeah, I used to employ those all the time for stepping down the 220 for my import DSx here. The most convenient solution for me however, was a USB charging cable from Play Asia. So good.
Btw, everyone @experiencing framerate issues: I don't suppose the game is any smoother on the DSi, is it?
