But I guess a sexy outfit with bunny ears or a bikini-top are not sexual undertones.

Yeah online with randoms or with friends list. So, if you find other GAFfers with it, just exchange friend codes and you'll at least have a few more people to play with.

Yep, it has online so we could play the game together! Once I get the game that is... q_q I'm hoping to get it for Christmas.

Okay, I won my third game on Trodain Castle. I had a chance to buy out a shop from a player and get three-in-a-row. After a few upgrades, their values ranged from 990 to 1600. At this point, the CPU players outright REFUSED to go to the bottom half of the board, meaning it was just a matter of me passing the bank a couple of times to level up my way to 6000G.
I played a quick multi-player game too and now I have my first real problem with the game. You don't earn any stamps for unlocking costumes and gestures for your Mii in multi-player. And I'm assuming that what I do unlock will only be applicable to MY Mii. Meaning my girlfriend is stuck with default clothes unless she spends time in single-player. I suppose it's minor, but both points just seem completely backwards and damaging to the game as a multi-player experience. Nothing deal-breaking, of course. Hopefully there is a code to unlock everything.

I believe you are restricted to your Mii in the "Tour Mode" only, although I haven't tested "Free Play" or an online game, I would wager a good guess that you can select characters and change board rules in those modes just as with the local multi-player.
That's what it looks like. Not much motivation for unlocking all the characters.
You are restricted to your Mii in Free Play too. And from what I've read on GameFAQs, you are also restricted to your Mii in online games.

Wow. That's really strange. I prefer my Mii thanks to the cool customizations, but yeah, this game has a few baffling design setbacks.
At least I have a few things I can pop into my "post play" survey for Club Nintendo.
Hah, this is very clever

I've never heard of this game until this very moment. All of a sudden I must now research if I actually want this.

It's about damn time Waluigi got this much love.
Speaking of cheating, is it possible for a human player with very fast reaction time to control what their die roll is? Or is the number randomly selected when the player presses the A button or shakes the controller? I ask because it seems like I can very briefly see the number I'm going to get the instant after I press the A button. Just wondering if it's possible to see the number before you press the A button. That would be a bummer because not everyone can react that quickly (certainly not me).
Damn, need to get this then. I'm a gonna win!

Jeff headbanging to this in the TNT vid was awesome.
I can't stop listening to this.

Urgh what the lame. Picked it up, and enjoying it, but you can only play as your Mii mainly?! I was so looking forward to using Bianca or something D:
That said, went thru tutorial and played against toad and slime. The dialogue is very charming and amusing. Slime is all ploptastic. XD

I guffawed the first time one of the NPCs rolled a 7. My immediate reaction was, "So that's how they always manage to win! Square Enix, you've gone too far this time!"

I'm guilty of this as well.
Got a DSi, which to start with? 4, 5, 6, or 9? 6 caught my eye for being a NA-debut.

5.
What do you mean by NA debut? 5 DS is the first time 5 has come out in English too.

Oh really? My mistake then.
Thanks for the recommendation.In which order would you place them from best to... least best?

When looking strictly at the DS versions, 5 > 4 > 6 > 9.

Did the DS version of 5 get all of the PS2 version's updates?
Yes, and it has a couple of extras of its own.

Is 5 on the DS hard to find? I remember a while back I was going to get one of the DS Dragon Quest games (4 or 5) and ended up buying 4. Should I regret my decision?
It was, but it was reprinted.
I don't think you should regret your decision, since 4 is a fantastic game, but I do hope you'll play 5 eventually. Now you can get it for $25-35 new.

Well, I just lost all interest. Fuck you, Square Enix.

Oh I know, 4 is great, but good to hear it isn't to hard to find 5.

god this game fucks you so hard
even on the most basic game, i always seem to roll five or six ONES in a row. that alone screws me out of enough property sales to make me lose at the last minute
this might be ok with other people, but it's probably the type of game "hey dumbass, it's your fucking turn"

The lesson the game seems to be trying to force us to learn in single-player mode with its highly suspicious die rolls: stocks, stocks, stocks. Buy stocks in the districts controlled by the highest-ranked NPCs. Don't waste a lot of money buying and upgrading property because the NPCs will almost never land on it once it's worth anything.
It's like single-player mode is basic training in the military. Learning essential stuff the unpleasant way.

Actually, at the start of a game, rolling ones is pretty good as you can buy adjacent properties.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Anyone send/tweet this over to Jeff or Ryan yet?
Not that I know of. The only thing you can really do to even the odds is:
Stocks. Basic strategy is basically this:
- Acquire as much property as possible early on. Where doesn't matter, just get as much as you can afford. Hostile takeovers are almost never worth it, unless it helps your investments.
- Buy as much stock as you can afford at every opportunity. The best places to invest are in your own properties. The more you own in a neighborhood, the better it is for you. Every time you level, buy 99 shares at a time: you can always sell it when you need the cash, so there's no reason to ever have cash on you.
- Once you've got a ton of stock in a neighborhood, start upgrading your buildings to increase the stock value. Every time value goes up, your net worth goes up by how much stock you own. Upgrading without stock is just throwing money away. If you have like 300 stock in a neighborhood, then invest to turn your crappy buildings into modern palaces, and it takes your share value from 9g to 15g to 30g etc etc, your net worth just skyrockets. This is how you win the game.
- Investing in your enemy's neighborhoods helps you profit from their improvements, but many enemies will refuse to upgrade just to spite you. Invest to spite them, or invest in your own properties to go for the win.
- Venture cards give cash bonuses if you get them in a row. Feel free to cockblock the NPCs here, they won't retaliate.
Thanks for confirming that. I've stared at the die some more since posting that and I think it's gibberish until you mash the button (or shake the remote).

This is amazing. Tell everyone.
Haha, this is amazing.
So I picked this up two days ago and I'm utterly hooked, though I'm pretty terrible at it. I love the game, and I'm honestly surprised it took this long to bring one overseas.
There's just a few gripes I have with it, one of which most people have mentioned already - being forced to play as your Mii in singleplayer. It's not a huge loss since you can customize it and the meat of it will be in local co-op for me, but it's such an obvious omission. The other one is how haphazardly tour mode seems to be thrown together, mostly with how every map has to have four players at once. Some of them are way too small to throw you in the first few times with that much going on at once (Castle Trodain and the Ghost Ship come to mind) , and there's no real progression to help ease you into it. And then the games take about a minimum of an hour to boot, thanks to all the shuffling going around.
Also that music. Why does Nintendo bother having a sound team when everyone else outdoes them with their own compositions?

Also I was kind of hoping for a cheesy and utterly pointless crossover story to mix the two series together, but that's just my own guilty pleasure.
