And then they will all get low metacritics score and flop, proving DQ is mediocre at best and only tradition continu to sell it in Japan, a tradition that doesn't exist there.
>>
>>339544653

With FFXIV bleeding subs and SquareEnix expanding the game to China, I think we have a better chance than you think.

It all comes down to upper management. If they are truly opening up the floodgates, we should get all the games.
>>
>>339545243
There are plenty of MMOs that are released in China and SEA that never make it here. If they had plans to release it here it would have already been announced.

>If they had plans to release it here it would have already been announced.
The same could be said about all the other DQ games. Took almost 4 years to get them to announce DQVII. No reason they might spend 5 years before announcing DQX. Especially this company.
>>
>>339543138
It's clear that they scrapped the idea of bringing both games this year because they need to pad out releases and keep the 3DS on life support for some more time.

3DS piracy is nowhere near as common as DS piracy since it's a significantly more elaborate process to set up.

just restart the game from scratch and tell your room mate to fuck off when he micromanages. Tell him you like the game yourself (which would be true if you restart it).

Not even being able to tell him off when he's in your shit in video games is telling of a deeper problem. Man up, he's your roommate, not your parents.

>>339550865
6 is an okay game. If you're really enjoying it, you're gonna love the series as a whole. If you have a wii check out dragon quest swords too. Its a goofy game but not alot of people talk about it (its not amazing but decent).

Also rocket slime if you have a ds/3ds.

It's pretty fucking spiffy. You have a majority of the book on the most well known monsters, showing EVERY appearance of them up to 2011. Then you get the lesser known/appeared. Then you get monsters who have no sprites as they originated from VIII or IX. Then you get some bonus stuff.

Also, the end of the book has a tease for X and Terry's Wonderland's monsters which really bums me out.

Guys
help me

I really really want to like the DQ Series as my friend is a huge fan and wants to share his enthusiasm but am having a really hard time in trying to like it. I've beaten I-III (SNES remakes) & IX, working on IV, borrowing VIII, have V waiting for me to start, and am buying VII on 3DS after a promise to a friend. But for the life of me it just isn't clicking to get me enthused about it. Even tried out The Hero Yoshihiko which while funny, doesn't really resonate.

What do?

Also doesn't help that I forced my way through FFXI from start to end of Rhapsodies without enjoying the Battle System one bit. With my friend hearing me bitch and moan all through out. Over 400 hours just to say I beat it. The story of XI is what kept me going.

>I just feel like a shitter when I like Final Fantasy when they are essentially the same God Damn thing.
Well now you just sound crazy. Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest are pretty much opposites. Like Mario compared to Sonic. Sure, they're both platformers. But pretty much opposites in every other aspect.

So what the fuck is his official name? I want to name him it when I get VII if he has one.

Also why does he have the best design of any of the protagonists? I love of dorky he looks.
>>
>>339563291
It's protagonist.
>>
>>339563291
Hero is usually the official name as really the hero is supposed to be you. But there have been external media that have given names.

Dragon Quest: Aluf
Dragon Quest II: Allen, Princeton (IX & Fortune Street), & Princessa (IX & Fortune Street)
Dragon Quest III: Arel (Manga)
Dragon Quest IV: Solo/Sofia (Default names)
Dragon Quest V: Abel (PS2 Guidebook)
Dragon Quest VI: Botsu (Manga)
Dragon Quest VII: Arus (Manga)
Dragon Quest VIII: Eito (Manga)
Dragon Quest Swords: Blade
>>
>>339563574

Well DQIII has at least one official name (Roto).
>>
>>339563261
The core is the same though

turn based (with some changeups and deviations)
job system
linear
a cavalcade of enemies that are very similar throughout entries (slimes/goblins)

>>339563878
Isn't Roto just the title that the hero gains, not his actual name?
>>
>>339563995

Pretty sure its his fathers (Ortega's) last name. So yes he did inherit it. But not in that way.

if anyone is new to DQ here's a list to help you

I - SNES
II - SNES
III - SNES or GBC (SNES is better overall, GBC has a couple more extras.)
IV - DS or Mobile (Mobile version has Party Chat restored, is otherwise identical to DS version.)
V - DS or PS2 (DS has an additional waifu to marry, PS2 has better graphics.)
VI - DS
VII - PS1 (3DS version isn't in English, not yet anyway)
VIII - PS2 (Mobile version is gutted, 3DS version not in English yet.)
IX - DS
X - lol never ever
>>
>>339563574
Battle Road Victory uses the following:
DQI - Decendant of Erdrick
DQII - Prince of Midenhall
DQIII - Legendary Hero
DQIV - Hero Solo
DQV - Legendary Beastmaster
DQVI - Hero Rek
DQVII - Boy Arus
DQVIII - Hero Eight
DQIX - Sentinel Nine
>>
So are there any alternatives to the DS releases in English? After a few hours with 4 I just take the accents anymore.
>>
>>339564631
Nope, for english you either have the original nes version, which is actually pretty accurate, or the ds version. The ps1 version was planned to be localized but never was. I pray for the day a fan translation of IV DS is released.

Those are the only two English releases, other then religon I believe everything is actually accurate to the Japanese script. Either accept the accents or be ready for famicom jrpg goodness.

Puns are very common in DQ and not why people hate the localization. It's basically just the stupid accents and how stupid SE continues to be as the IP holder.
>>
>>339566224

>Puns are very common in DQ
There's puns in the Japanese game. But nowhere near as bad as the western version. The western version also changes things just to add in puns. Where there wasn't a pun in the original game. Dharma Temple is not a pun. Yet the English translation changed it to 'AllTrades Abbey' just to make it a pun. I'm not even gonna get into how shitty names like Cleohatra or Dr Agon are.

>and not why people hate the localization.
Plenty of people dislike the puns. It makes a game which should be targeting the general audience seem like its aimed at 8 year olds.

Puns are still very common in DQ and the series is largely silly as befitting the creators, but the accents are totally off base beyond the rare osaka accent. I know what you mean, but the puns are very forgivable compared to script overhauls. Japanese puns generally never translate, so localization is definitely to have to make some jokes to make up for it. There's still plenty of adult humor, in both Japanese and English.

So I've never played a DQ game before, but XI looks sweet as fuck. I enjoyed JRPGs in the past (though I haven't played any of late). Would DQ VIII 3DS be a good place to start? I was thinking of playing it before XI comes out, so I could be familiar with the series and the mechanics.
>>
>>339574792
also secondary question: is it true that DQ involves shit tons of grinding?
because if so, that won't help with my enjoyment of it... unlike some people I fucking love the art style though, it's one of the main reasons I want to try it out.

>>339574792
VIII PS2. Go and emulate it
It looks really beautiful and can give any PS3 game a run for its money
>>
>>339574792
Sure but we don't know when it'll be out, considering we don't even have a release date for VII's remake yet.
You could emulate the original on the PS2 if your PC is alright. There's only one issue with emulating it late in the game.

>>339574852
If you're not retarded, not usually outside of the first game, except occasionally getting a few extra levels for post-game stuff.
>>
>>339574860
>and can give any PS3 game a run for its money
I think DQ8 looks pretty good but let's not bullshit ourselves here

>>339574860
I don't want to emulate, I'd rather buy the bloody thing so that Squeenix doesn't let the series die in the West. I'm a good goy.

>>339574887
that sounds OK, I grinded some in FFVII and still enjoyed it, so as long as it's not too much... I lose patience if I have to grind for hours to beat some stupid boss.

You do in a 1. The rest you don't really, but can to make your life easier. Some you will probably get lost in not need to grind at all, due to how long it takes you to get back on track like 2. Mainly 2.
