Can someone give me info on the story they added? Is HeroxJessica confirmed or are we keked with AngeloxJessica?

It's going to feel weird playing it after only earlier this year playing it in 1080p, but hopefully the extra content is worth it.

And the vocation system lets you change her clothes in all kind of cute costumes!

At the end of the game you can marry Jessica instead of Medea. It's just an extra ending, nothing big about it.

The localization announcements were the only worthwhile things from the latest Nintendo Direct.

You're goddamn right I'm hyped. I still have my original copy of 8 but I'm going to get the 3DS remake anyway.

But it's already voiced in America, it's nothing new for us. The original PS2 release in Japan had no voice acting, that's why it's new to them.

After Heroes I have no doubt the voice acting will be fine. Unless Nintendo is handling the localization themselves, then it'll be jelly donuts for all.

Yeah Nintendo fans are excited because the 3DS has barely any good RPGs I guess, so they really want to justify a downgraded port if it has a few extras.

I just want the new SMT4 before I sell mine.

DQ8? has 2 new extra dungeons on top of what it already had, and the old ones were pretty damn hard
>>
>>316639067
Every single Dragon Quest remake aside from the first two games has done this. Final Fantasy didn't invent it.

How is 7? I have a vague memory of giving the original version a try but I don't remember liking it much.

>>316644443
It takes about 48 years to finish the game.
I heard the 3DS version shaved about 6 hours off.

>>316644443
DQ7 PS1 starts like and old man walking through mud
it takes 2 hours to get to the first battle I shit you not
the 3DS version removed most of the filler, turning those 2 hours into 30 minutes
after that, the game can be pretty brutal for a Dragon Quest game, when you reach and clear Dharma you'll feel like a real man

It's just 7, the other games are fine. The previous games are around 30 to 40 hours. 8 and 9 can be pretty long with post-game and optional content but the main story is standard length. And DQ1 can be beaten in an afternoon.

>>316647071
The game was censored because CERO has gotten stricter in recent years. They also put shorts under Red's skirt (she only had panties before) and changes the scene where Marcello stabs himself (he cast a spell instead). The bunnysuit was also modified, tough it shows more than before. Instead of wearing a leotard, she's wearing shorts and a tanktop. So you see less ass but you get the midriff.

7 looked neat back on the PS2 (I remember reading a review for it, the same magazine had a contest to win a weird gimmick Slime shaped PS2 controller) but I never picked it up. I've only played the DS Rocket Slime game before; that's the closest I've come to Dragon Quest. Is it worth getting on 3DS?
>>
>>316647971
But I did think.
Optimization isn't a magical fix all and if you rebuild the entire game it could end up being a lot worse for it.
There isn't a single example of a PS2 game getting ported to 3DS yet, the closest you could compare would be the Xenoblade port which requires the New 3DS to even work.

This is objectively better than random battles.

HP is already easily recoverable and who the fuck uses MP outside of a boss fight?
>Characters get more skill points
Probably only real concern. I replayed some of 8 earlier in the year and when you focus on only 2 trees(weapon of choice+unique) you end up with a ton of extra points since there's a cap based on your level.
>Blue chests like in DQ9 so you get free items
Free Medicinal Herbs and other low quality items aren't anything big.

new content doesn't make a game a remake guys.
A remake is when you literally redo most of the game.
Think REmake, like a film when you do a remake you have a new director, new actors, the whole thing has to be shot again.

A re-imagining is taking the basic premise and doing a completely different thing, think Silent Hill Shattered Memories.

A port is when you move the basic game to a new system, sometimes you might include some new features but they're very minor.

A re-release is when you essentially do the same as a port but you're offering substantial new content, it does not necessarily have to look better.
Think Persona 4 Golden.

DQVIII is a re-release at best.

I'm a little annoyed that the game isn't on PS3or Wii U as well as being on 3DS. Because it is the one game in the series which would benefit from the HD treatment. An expanded overworld with more trees, better grass, more detailed desert, etc.

But is it going to keep me from buying the game? Hell no. I buy every DQ game. And for all we know in 10 years they'll remake the game again in HD.

And given the way the current market in Japan is forcing developers to have less lewd content, it may be a good thing to wait for a true remake.

While not nearly on my top DQ game 8 is still a heck of a game and it seem finally SE isn't being completely retarded and giving us 7 and 8 (I'm more hyped for 7 personally).

Nobody, not even you cvckface. It's pathetic that you even try to make this claim.

>hurr graphics don't matter
Yes, they do. Good gameplay and good graphics make excellent games. It's why I liked DQ8 in the first place. Jaggies everywhere makes a game ugly to look at and decreases my enjoyment. I'd rather play it on a fucking emulator to atleast get rid of those jaggies

Who says? Multiple DQ games have had more than one remake. For all you know, they might remake the game from the ground up with the DQ XI engine. Since its design is clearly following DQVIII.

Does it still take 2 hours before you fight your first battle in 7 3DS?
>>
>>316653535
DQ8 is wouldn't ever need to be fully remade due to how it originally looked, no matter what they will just upres it and throw on some cheap lighting effects.
Visuals will never advance far enough for it to be worth it.

That's because the ESRB has been used as a fucking scapegoat by companies when it comes to censorship, but the ESRB has actually gotten less strict as the years have gone by and have very direct reasons for a game getting a certain rating.

CERO can go from one to the next simply for one line of suggestive dialog. It's fucking mind boggling.

Oh thank god. It sounds like they made an improvement to every single aspect of the game.

The only one I can understand being upset about making the game easier is the instant restore on level up. Very easy to abuse right before a boss fight and no need to conserve anything. However, I don't think that ever happened in any of my playthroughs of the game. Normally if I had a bad bit of luck, I would just walk out of the dungeon, heal up, come back and then just run from everything on the way to the boss.

>More Skill points

Oh thank god. Nothing was more annoying then realizing I was 1 point away from another skill in another tree that would have been really good to have. The lack of interesting builds for your characters was simply depressing and it was either invest heavily into 2 trees to get everything and then maybe 3 skills in a third tree, or become a mediocre jack of all trades. Maybe now I can actually have Yangus using Clubs and Fisticuffs along with Humanity and having tons of fun with the game, instead of practically having to go with Axes because the defense down was too good against bosses.

I prefer RPGs that focus on exploration and character development. Which are the primary focus in the Dragon Quest series.

Beyond this, Dragon Quest games have great stories and nostalgia factor. The more you play the games, the more you want.
>>
>>316662648
DQ's one of the few JRPGs that actually focus on adventure.
The best thing about DQ is that it looks generic on the surface but there are a lot of details layered underneath that sets it apart from many other RPG series. It doesn't jump on the latest bandwagons in the industry and continues to do what it does good.

For me, on of the best things about DQ is the exploration aspect, and how the battles compliment it because of how straightforward they are. Unlike most JRPGs, this game doesn't just slap plot in your face every time you move on to a new area. There are details about the plot/world you can get by talking to NPCs or exploring. It's really the type of game you can play anytime without having to worry about progressing unless you want to.

While the series retains its core, each game adds changes to it or improves on it. Also each game after the first two has its own features that separates them from others in the series (different class systems for 3, 6,and 7 each, Monster teams in 8, multiplayer in 9, etc.).

It's fine if you found it boring. DQ's not for everyone, especially with how close it sticks to tradition and how barebones it seems on the surface.

I like it when it's on every piece of equipment. Sure, it makes for less customization since you'll be constantly changing for the stats, but it makes for great immersion, I like the way my characters end up with mis-matching armors since it really feels like I'm on an adventure.
But I hate when only a few armors do it, like DQ8 and Persona, since in the end you'll be using the default look 90% of the time unless you want to gimp yourself. That's just bullshit teasing.

It's an alright game but the only problem is that it's too easy except for a couple of defense mission that spam enemies all over you. Plus, the combat needs a little more diversity. For a fanservice game about Dragon Quest I feel it did a good job but they really need to work on the difficulty and diversity of the game more. I hope heros 2 improves on the flaws of one but who knows if it will come here because it seems sales weren't that good for the game.

I am the graphical downgrade is really being overplayed here for a bunch of people who haven't seen it in person. My friend has a nip new 3ds he bought exclusively for DQ and 7 and 8 look great. 8 especially considering it can even run on the original 3DS. The draw distance on 8 is great and I wasn't expecting that honestly, since the last time I remember seeing a more open 3D game on the console was that Lego game and the draw distance for that shit is like two feet ahead of you before everything starts to disappear. 7's remake is also very pretty, every aspect is detailed, even the walls in every house which is unnecessary but neat.

I guess what I'm asking, is does the length ever become an issue? do you find yourself replaying a lot of sections or grinding to get to the next level? or is it really just 100+ hours of meaningful content?

because if it's long AND well designed I may need to pick it up. haven't really played dragon quest before

Of course, it's a JRPG, so a lot of that content is random encounters. The game is hard at times so some people end up grinding a bit, but never so much that it'd change the lenght of the game significantly.

Half is pushing it, Legendia is an extreme exemple where they didn't have enough budget. The majority of the game is already dubbed. The new content you would need to voice is minimal. There's only a few new cutscenes, and then new lines of dialogues for the new characters. If you just dub the new characters' lines, then only a few cutscene will be left with no voice, and it's not like the entire game was voiced to begin with.
