I honestly forgot this was coming out this week. Too deep in that Puyo Tetris and MK8 hype.
Guess I'll have another game to play tomorrow!
So glad Maribel made it in. <3

It's hard to tell these days because the codes are usually packed in the "Day1" editions now

Nope it's set in a different universe from the first game.

Wait, are they going with Gabo here instead of Ruff from the most recent release of 7?

Don't think so. In the meet the heroes video they have him as Ruff.

Gotcha! I just saw that in the character list and got confused, haha.
So an exclusive Builders statue AND an outfit for DQH2 is tucked away in a digital-only, full-price PSN purchase? Woof.
I was initially excited to see that my save files for Builders and Heroes 1 would unlock stuff in DQH2, but this is gross.
Bad Square Enix.
Lame that the digital version gets extra costumes. They probably won't release them as DLC either.
My order keeps saying shipping soon but still arriving tomorrow. I was gonna cancel to save money and I have little time but I forgot until today and it wouldn't let me cancel it. Oh well, I'll try to squeeze some time in during the weekend. The demo was okay, wasn't crazy about the way any of the characters played strangely enough.

Yeah, he is. Still sadness infinity he's not in the main campaign for this, he's my favorite character in the series.
Looking forward to playing this tonight!

I'll have to agree with you on this one.

Just started downloading--backlog is huge and currently playing Nier but I just can't wait to play this. Loved the first game and hope this is just as good

I'm in. I was kind of going to pass on this until a later date, despite liking the first game a lot, but the demo sold me on this game as something I'd start investing time into right away (given what a big backlog I'm building right now). I like the nudge into the ARPG realm that this game takes over the first, though both strike me as pretty distinctive from a typical musou game.

Anyone have a picture/video of the theme you get for pre-ordering this?

I liked the demo. It's somewhat different with the first game, mainly due to its huge pseudo-open world field. Though the combat is still pretty similar and I fear that I'll get bored in a few hours like in the first game. If only the game has local coop I'd pre-order this in a heartbeat.
I'm excited to see the reviews for this...
Love DQ, but didn't like DQH 1's overreliance on Tower-Defense style gameplay.
Will be picking this up tomorrow.... don't feel the need to wait for the Switch port given the downgrade in graphics and the fact that DQH1 being included is no selling point at all.

They were added as free dlc characters for the multiplayer.

Enjoyed the PS4 demo, will probably get this. Wish I would have known about all the pre-order goodies when there was still time. >__<

Did they remove multi-player for the western release?? I can't find any open games or create a lobby AND the multi-player section of the in game manual is blank...Like you can select it and you can see the arrows for page flipping, but there's no actual page...
Please tell me I'm just being dumb.

Maybe the feature is tied to a story point? Have you started the story yet?

I've reached the story point, and have the first area(s) for it unlocked. It seems to be unlocked but even if it's not, why is that section of the manual blank?
Maybe there's an incoming patch after the weekly PSN maintenance?

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I'm actually kinda tripping off that you can play this+the first game on switch already, if only they had English...

i liked the demo except for the music changing every five seconds you get in a battle. Jesus that was annoying.
Still everything else was good fun and I loved the first game.
Yeah, it's got a cast of characters from various main series DQ games. You'll miss a lot by starting with this. I'd recommend starting with Dragon Quest III, IV, or V.

OK, this is looking to be incredibly fun so far. I can't wait to grind classes and play Co-op.
The pre-order dlc seems to be a bit more useful this time around, especially considering you can have the Copycat npc cosmetically alter your weapons.

Right, I think I noticed it too. I get what they're getting at with the BGM, going from exploration to battle BGM just like in the mainline DQ games. But the problem is we switch between them a lot and instantly in this game and it's indeed quite disturbing. They should've made the switch better, as in let the battle BGM play longer for example.
PC? The PS4 version never crashed on me.Please don't crash a lot like the first one

PC. I had this weird problem where, on two different installations/saved games, there comes a point in the game where my saved game becomes weird unstable...50/50 that any loading screen dumps me to desktop. So I just finished the main campaign and didn't bother grinding to take on extra content. The constant crashes were maddening. Still, enjoyed my time with the game.
I preordered a PS4 code for this from Amazon. The code is now available, but when I try to redeem it I get a "WC-40371-5" error code and a message stating that "The code you entered may not be correct or may no longer be valid." And yes, my PSN account is US region.
1. Has anyone else encountered this? Are the codes just not active yet?
If not,
2. How do I contact Sony to get this sorted. Amazon basically says talk to Sony about it, but the Sony website seems to be an endless loop of FAQs reminding me to enter the code correctly. Not very helpful to someone like me who already knew how to enter the code correctly.
