Why?

I don't have time to play the whole game. I like dragon quest games but I can never finish them.

And DQVIII port is heavily compromised with its vertical view and downgraded audio.

Again, not here to argue over technical specs of cell phones vs a dedicated handheld from 2011. Just pointing out the 3DS version of VII was a ground-up remake with lots of new features and QoL, as was the 3DS version of VIII. Very much apples/oranges when talking about the 3DS remakes vs the phone ports which were more or less just straight ports of the originals.

I would argue that seven is the best Dragon Quest. It is where you restore a world.

I think VII is the best in regards to world building, design, and mechanics.

V is the best in regards to story.

VIII is the best in regards to characters.

XI is the jack of all trades.

The whole re-building the world mechanic is really satisfying.

This has quickly become my most anticipated game. February isn't too far out. If they're doing this for VII and seeing what they've done for 1-3, I think we're going to be in for a treat when VIII gets the revisit treatment.

$250?! jesus christ, I can get Slime plushies cheaper by just taking another trip to Japan. I already got 3 last time I was there.

Blame the ship in a bottle. They probably added an extra hundred because of it.

My review of the trailer is that it looks nice but everything seemed to look a bit dark. I wish it was a little bit more vibrant.

I don't disagree regarding 3DS vs mobile ports. What I am saying is that mobile DQVIII port is a compromised vs PS2 version.

Vertical view is just not great for this game. And it has no VA or Orchestral music. If you do have a decent Android phone, it's probably better just to emulate PS2 or maybe even 3DS version.

Edit: I do have OG PS2 game, 3DS cart and iOS version of mobile port. DQVIII is perhaps my favorite DQ game so I was kind of disappointed. They should have at least have a new version (even if separate $$) to reflect modern devices.

The CG look loses the Toriyama look a bit IMO. Looks like the art style of that Netflix show. Too soft.

I'd chop off my own balls for a version of Final Fantasy 9 like this

I reckon they're going to develop something more in line with this than FF7R. Which would be a good thing imo.
