Dragon Quest 7
You ready /v/?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrxt4onVw7w
I'm sad that they axed the orchestrated ost.
>>345445651
Someone will mod it back in for CFW users.
I'm not ready.
What happens to the ps1 DW7? will it be forgotten? I never finished it before, but its somewhere deep on my backlog.
DQVII is the best DQ game and I couldn't be happier that we're getting this localized after I gave up hope that it would come at all. I'll even forgive the weird shitty accents.
>>345445314
I am fucking pumped.
I'm a casual who's only completed DQ1 so far, but I'm gonna buy this game on launch and play for 10 hours a day until I finish it
>>345446484
It's not gonna fucking disappear, play whatever version you want.
Been ready since 2013. Just happy to finally be able to play the 3DS version. Remember loving the PSX 16 years ago.
>>345447280
This is censored in the remake :^) Even in Jap version :^)
>>345447447
Wrong. She's still a pretty suggestive slut. But only in Japan now. Gotta protect the white people's children.

>>345447642
>ご指名
WHAT A FUCKING SLUT
>>345447642
Lost track of all her obscure innuendos.
>>345447739
ご指名 is pretty obscure, I mean it can be difficult for non-Japanese to get she is using it in an innuendo context unless they've been there and watched all their shitty tv drama soaps.
I'm still on the fence about just emulating it
>>345447739
>>345448383
The fuck does ご指名 mean?
>>345448819
According to google translate, it means "Your nomination".
>>345449136
I checked it but I fail to see how "your nomination" means slut. So I'd like someone who knows Japanese to explain, otherwise I'm going to claim bullshit and that you faggots are just pretending that Jap isn't censored.
>>345445314
Spain and France, are ready.
>>345448819
>ご指名
It literally means "Please pick me".
She is saying that because she gave them an item so that they could summon her at anytime.
BUT.
There are many other more common ways to say that in Japanese, but she use that instead.
It's culturally a term more frequently used in "health massage" ads in porn magazines, like in "remember to pick me, the No. 47 girl then next time you come visit our massage parlor, I'll give you a special happy ending service *wink*" kind of way.
If you watch crime dramas you'll hear the term spoken by "work girls".
I'm still fucking mad that west is getting the shitty PS1 soundtrack in the remake, and not the full orchestral one that Japan got.
And as such, I ain't buying it.
Fuck Squeenix.
>>345446484
It already is forgotten. Otherwise people wouldn't be excited for the 3ds version.
>>345445651
Has this been confirmed beyond that review guy, is there a clean clip that can confirm that?
>>345449458
The fucking trailer in the OP uses the PS1 version of DQ7 Overture, and not the 3DS one.
>>345449195
It's just one of the obscure suggestive references in her dialogue.
Even if you have learn Japanese for years outside of Japan, unless you have been living in there for years and drowned yourself in their slang terms, as a foreigner who knows Japanese, you'll just miss all the references.
>>345449416
You were looking for a justification to pirate it from the start
>>345449416
Baka gaijin if you don't buy whatever we decide then we jus withhold the series and you will need see anonymous game again.
>>345449595
Not really, it's censored and has butchered music, why the fuck would I pay for an inferior product?
Are you THIS much of a consumerist bitch?
Protip, companies should be sucking your dick, not the other way around. If you suck their dick, then you're a consumerist bitch, ergo get cancer and die.
>>345449509
And thats the proof?
I dunno, how about we wait for an actual ingame clip before jumping to conclusions, really that doesnt mean anything.
>>345449595
Not him, but I had it preordered from the start and cancled it when I heard the rumor. If they end up pulling through and getting the orchestral soundtrack I'll buy it.
>>345449675
>Baka gaijin if you don't buy whatever we decide then we jus withhold the series and you will need see anonymous game again.
As if I give a fuck, people will just fantranslate instead. It's not like DQ7 3DS was being fantranslated already and only stopped due to the announcement that there will be an officialone.
>>345449714
The fucking trailer confirms it, a fucking reviewer confirms it, but NOOOOOOO BETTER BUY IT, YOU CAN NEVER BE SURE.
Kill yourself.
>>345449691
>>345449724
Literally lies
>>345445314
Ready for what ? The game was released in 2001
>>345445651
Supposedly the orchestrations weren't actually complete and they were shortened versions of the songs in the first place
>butchered version
No thanks
>>345449937
t. Pirate
>>345449776
A lot of dq game trailers use that version of the song.
Thats not a proof.
Look, i hate nintendo censorship practices but.
A: this is not censorship.
B:if it was censorship its not a nintendo decision
C:squenix decisions for censorship are for the good of the series IN JAPAN, it doesnt even affect the us.
Wait until actual clean gameplay clips surface before screaming censorship.
>>345449776
Squenix issues c&d for eveything, including fantrans.
Also a lot of recent games, mainly theathrythm and the dqm games depend of online, making them practically untranslatable.
>>345449794
>>345450015
Try harder you paid shill.
>>345450125
>A lot of dq game trailers use that version of the song.
>NO PROOF
Protip, it's the main theme of the series, but each game has its own rendition of it. The one in the this particular trailer is from the PS1 version of DQ7. The fact reviewer also mentioned chiptunes, WHICH, AGAIN, IS PART OF PS1 DQ7 MUSIC further reinforces the fact that the music got butchered for westerners.
>A: this is not censorship.
Yes it is, outright changing dialogue is in fact censorship.
>B:if it was censorship its not a nintendo decision
Actually yes it is Nintendo decision, this is how you lost your entire argument by exposing yourself for the literal Nintendrone that you are. Even Atlus USA EXPLICITLY fucking said that Nintendo FORCED them make changes to that Pii(on)U SMT/FE spinoff.
>C:squenix decisions for censorship are for the good of the series IN JAPAN, it doesnt even affect the us.
Which is why the dialogue is not censored in Japan, but censored in the west? TRY HARDER, SERIOUSLY GET CANCER AND DIE YOU LITERAL SHILL.
>>345450409
Theatrhythm is fully offline game son, and it has no story, it's actually one of the easiest games to play without knowing Japanese, protip, I 100% it and I don't know a shred of nipponese.
>and the dqm games
Fantranslators don't seem to have interest in those for some reason, however DQ1-6 were fantranslated prior to DS, PS2 version of DQ5 was fantranslated and 3DS version of DQ7 was being fantranslated until the Spanish announcement that it would be getting translated at which point they dropped it to not damage the sales.

Does it have MIDI or Orchestrated?
Not like you can actually tell the difference

>Also a lot of recent games, mainly theathrythm and the dqm games depend of online, making them practically untranslatable.
That literally doesn't matter. Translating a game doesn't suddenly make you unable to play online.
A ton of people played MHX online with the english patch before MHG came out.
>>345445314
What are the odds the fight with God will still be in the game and unchanged?
>>345454317
He would be called The Almighty now instead of God
>>345455552
SMT ain't afraid to use YHVH which is technically even more taboo than saying God.
>>345455960
Who cares? This isn't an SMT thread.
>>345456914
>moving goalposts
Try harder you little bitch
>>345452107
It's MIDI.
It uses the same soundtrack as the phone port.
The strings in the battle theme give it away.
>>345457930
>It uses the same soundtrack as the phone port.
Which is same as the PS1 music.
>>345458248
Not it's not.
The PS1 soundtrack is uses even lower sample quality and is not streamed. It's sequenced.
The 3DS remakes uses streamed, synthesized MIDI. The synth they use for the soundtrack is also used for every mobile version of the games they put out.
This is the version the 3DS remake uses, which was also used in the mobile port (Theatrhythm also uses themes from the mobile soundtrack):

Monsters ain't gonna happen. Just play Pokemon or SMT.
>>345449837
This isn't relevant to anyone in these threads, unfortunately, since people aren't interested in being informative, they just use it to shitpost or to bitch about censorship.
>>345460082
If you want the spinoffs to be localized then buy the spinoffs, like Builders.
Wasn't it because Square didn't pay the guy who made the orchestral version for overseas use, since they didn't think they'd be localizing 7? Or something like that anyway.

So those of you who have already played this version, how would you say it compares to the original playstation version? Any major changes? Any minor changes? I mean besides the obvious graphics change.
>>345460719
It's more fun with all the fancy graphics and animations. Feels faster too.
The class system also gets a revamp.
>>345460719
Better graphics, a lot more convenience things, less obnoxious encounter rate, higher exp rate/less grinding, hints telling where to go next without getting lost in its obnoxiously large world, faster animations and menu transitions, rebalanced job system.
>>345460654
>I have to play an inferior version just to see the extra Dhoulmagus thing

What the fuck? Damage control?
My first post in this thread was responding to someone asking whether it was MIDI or Orchestrated, and I responded MIDI.
I don't even know what shilling you're talking about. I fucking wish the localized version had orchestral music.
>>posting Theatrhythm, a completely different game, as proof
Like I said, Theatrhythm uses soundtracks from the mobile version of each DQ game, and DQ7 uses the mobile soundtrack. How about you go and check for yourself? I've actually played the mobile titles, including DQ7, and I recognize that they share the same soundtracks.
I'm disappointed about the MIDI music too but you guys need to calm the fuck down.
>>345447280
That wasn't even in the original japanese version
>>345446901
It's best played one island at a time.

DQ7 3DS DOES NOT USE THE FUCKING MOBILE SOUNDTRACK IN THE JAP VERSION

>>345460802
I heard they removed a lot of content though. And the class change system is available right from the start now?

Also there is no such thing as not enough space on cartridge, they could've simply used the 4 or 8GB cartridge instead of the 2GB one.
I honestly don't get why this is a big deal. It's not like the midi music sounds bad.

>>345463087
No, I posted proof that the music in the JP 3DS version didn't have full renditions of each track.
And obviously they could have used a bigger cartridge, but that would up production costs.

I hope you do realize that text is literally in KILOBYTES, having 5 languages increases filesize by 10MB at most and that's with me being very generous about it. DQ games on DS have entirety of text take up less than 6MB in total.
Also I find it hilarious that you're a consumerist bitch that actually defends corporations that treat you like a 2nd class customer.

When will you stop embarrassing yourself? Really, the whole thread's laughing at you.
>>345464271
I was stating facts, that's not ad hominem. If you defend anti-consumer practices then you are in fact a consumerist bitch.
Also keep sliding and moving goalposts away from the original argument, namely the fact that somehow adding more languages forced them to replace orchestral music with midi due to filesize restrictions, despite more languages taking up 10 more megabytes at most and thus this means your entire argument falls apart.
>>345464408
Well, we're just as well off in that case. That you got called out and acted like you know something even though you don't, and started flinging insults in a desperate attempt to win the argument is 100% fact too.
In fact, don't forget you're the one who sperged out about the JP version having shorter tracks being a lie, then when you got called out you started talking about file sizes instead. So in fact, you're the one who's been moving the goalpost away from the original argument.
Are you ready to admit you were wrong and apologize yet?
>>345464736
>In fact, don't forget you're the one who sperged out about the JP version having shorter tracks being a lie
Already proved with actual gamerip that this is in fact a lie, as the tracks run their full length. Your random internet forum post saying otherwise is not proof, if anything it's just an uneducated random internet retard, probably yourself to boot. You literally can't refute my gamerip OST evidence, it's irrefutable.
I also mentioned the filesizes only because said post of yours claimed the music was replaced with midi due to space restrictions, which again I completely demolished.
But stay asshurt, if you play nice I may buy you some lube.
i like video games
>>345464973
You could literally take the tracks from that gamerip you posted and compare with the mobile version and you'd hear that the 3DS tracks have parts missing, even if they're the same length due to looping.
But of course, you'd never do that.
>>345447642
>>345448383
>>345449310
What in the literal fuck are you talking about? That's not even the dialogue selection that says where "slut" would be in English. This is it right here. And it doesn't say anything, suggestive or otherwise.
What we'd really need to do to prove the JP version was censored is to replay this part on the PSX version
>>345465132
I already compared them against their ACTUAL OFFICIAL OST ALBUMS and they're 1:1 versions minus outro for battle tracks (due to looping) and outros are never present in JRPG battle tracks ingame, only in OSTs.
Said outros also last good 5-10 secs at most per track.

Outside that, the game has way more content than the ps2 version.
>>345466670
>Im pretty sure the only 'censorship' in 8 are the slight mods to jessicas outfits
In the JP version, at least. We'll see what happens with the localized one.
>>345466670
I don't mean censorship, I mean most dungeons are streamlined to be even more linear and they removed a few quests.
>>345460719
I haven't played the PSX version, but yeah, there's quite a bit of changes. It's been rebalanced, the first dungeon is gone, some old skills are gone I think, and I believe some new ones exist. The hybrid skill system is gone, certain low level skills transfer to new jobs, but high levels ones don't. From what I've heard about the PSX version, the jobs level up faster. I was able to master several classes by the end of the game without grinding. There's a radar for lithograph pieces and a lot of other things.
>>345460849
> less obnoxious encounter rate
On-screen encounters, and just wait until you find out how annoying they can be.
>>345467337
I heard they also removed a lot of areas and the game is much shorter. Does anyone know anythign about that?
>>345467037
No, you're thinking of 7. 8 retains everything except trees because that's too hard for the 3ds.
>>345467471
I don't know about removed areas aside from the first dungeon. I do know that certain times you'd have to travel to a location manually in the PSX version, they just take you there in a cutscene in the 3DS version, so that cuts down on time a bit. On Japanese websites I've read that you can finish the game in 50-60 hours, though that still seems a bit fast for a game like this. Took me 138, but then it was my first time playing, I took my time, I talked to people, I did side content (but not all of it) etc. I don't think there were "a lot of" areas removed though.
>>345466670
>Im pretty sure the only 'censorship' in 8 are the slight mods to jessicas outfits, a decision NOT made by nintendo.
And Gelda/Red wears shorts now, Marcello blasts his arm with magic instead of stabbing it, there's no forced dog food eating, and I think the titty witch enemies have slightly more coverage of their boobs (a really, really small amount). And yeah, you're right, it's not Nintendo's fault. I've heard some people say it was Horii's decision, but I don't know, I think it's the result of CERO's continuing descent into the depths of utter shit.

need to level up*
>>345445314
I've been ready for 3 1/2 years. I bought a 3DS specifically for Dragon Quest.
Sadly, as this thread points out, discussion of Dragon Quest VII will just be a bitch fest. But at least its proves that Dragon Quest is popular enough to attract trolls and hate. In other words, its become common knowledge to people in the general public. Which means sales might be even higher.

You also forgot that they retooled skill points and even added a feature so you regain HP and MP upon level up. So all those babies who cried that they needed to grind before the waterfall cave have zero excuse now. Since you will have endless MP.
>>345469575
Oh yeah, knew I was forgetting something. Yeah, you can choose when you want to distribute skill points. The HP/MP restore is really nice early game (or really shitty, depending on how you look at it). Doesn't matter so much later on, but it's nice when grinding on metal monsters since it basically eliminates the need to take a break and go to an inn.
Found this on /vr/ yesterday.
Really I'm hopeful but still scared that we might get a a DQIV DS level translation.

>>345469808
I personally don't like the idea. Takes away some of that "gambling" nature that Horii used to be enthralled by and decreases the challenge a fair bit.
>>345470189
Well that's not so terribad. About DQ5 level.
To those who have played the 3DS version already, how is the start of it? Is it any quicker now? I remember it taking a few hours when I was emulating it to get to the first fight only for it to crash every time.
>>345469436
That shit will blow over once the game is out.

>>345470189
I can accept a kid talking with a bad dialect because that's actually in character for a kid. But when the entire town starts talking like they have tourettes, then its just stupid.
Given that SquareEnix is still in control of localization, I'm sure the game will have plenty of forced dialects and stupid name changes. The question is, how frequently and where.
>>345461480
>May 2017
Oh is that so? I didn't realize there was a vague release date yet.
>>345470189

Yeah, I was somewhat surprised people think that, but I really shouldn't be. That screenshot doesn't look too awful really. The only thing I don't like is that Matilda's name was changed to Maeve, but other than that the dialogue is fine. I saw people complaining that it changed his mature tone, but it really didn't. Well, just judging by that one screenshot, anyway.
>>345470463
First dungeon's been axed. Instead you go to a few short new areas to grab some items you need. It takes all of ten minutes.
I might buy a 3ds afterall
>>345463495

I'm glad I can finallyplay Dragon Quest 7 again
>>345470552
As much as I want to play it, I don't want to spend a couple hours with a different emulator in the hope it will work. I'll probably just wait for it to come out for 3DS. I wish I didn't have to wait for what is said to be the best Dragon Quest.
To that retard who was saying the Japanese 3DS version's OST doesn't have cut parts:

>The question is, how frequently and where.
Apparently, this is what's known so far.
Ruins = Shrine of Mysteries
Fishbel = Pilchard Bay
Rexwood = Ballymolloy
Engow = Emberdale
Orph = L'Arca
Falrod = Faraday
Dharma Temple = Alltrades Abbey
Mezar = La Bravoure
Sim Town = The Haven
Monster Park = Monster Meadows
Bard = Troubadour
Deja Sword = Sword of Roamers
And Matilda is Maeve now, and everyone knows about the main character name changes.
I think most are fine. “Shrine of Mysteries” is a more accurate translation anyway, I always thought that Engow was supposed to be a mash up of Ember and Glow (romanizes as Engow), so Emberdale is fine. I don’t know where “Sim Town” comes from, I’m guessing the original localization? It’s just “Immigrant Town” in the Japanese versions. Yeah, most of those changes seem fine, though not all of them.
>>345470841
It's never said that by any dq fan, it just has the most single player oriented shit. IX technically beats it out in content but that content is geared for playing with friends.
>>345470893
>Dharma Temple = Alltrades Abbey
Game is ruined.
>>345470893
Only one that pisses me off is alltrades abbey, dharma temple sounds much better. Other then that one those are fine in my opinion.
>>345470893
Most of those are fine, don't care for Ballymolloy though.
Getting tired of this shitty alltrades pun.
>>345471473
Yeah, Bollymolly is weird. It was Wood Paruna in the Japanese version, named after Paruna, the hero who saved the town. Rexwood of course followed the same idea. Ballymolloy though... I don't know, maybe Molloy is the hero this time.
>>345470893
>Rexwood = Ballymolloy
Let's take this made up name and replace it with a different made up name for no reason. I don't understand why localization teams do this.
>>345463229
No man it's just /v/. You can't enjoy much here without someone calling you a drone for some company or a shill for some company. I agree though. Fuck these threads. If you enjoy anything about DQ7 on the 3DS then you will be called a shill./v/ is the worst fucking board, but I still come here for some chill discussions about video games. It's just becoming more and more rare to find those in recent years.
Also Alena is the best party member in 4.

>>345471896
Localization is a very boring, lifeless job. Some teams try and spice it up by coming up with their own puns and names to 'make their mark' on the game.
Of course, that's no excuse. And any team that does this should be removed from localization. But in the case of Dragon Quest, it goes back to Plus Alpha and Richard Honeywood. Who came up with unique names for every single character, monster and town in DQ I-IX. We won't be free of those shitty names until we get a game older than DQIX. And even then, the Japanese team may come up with new name changes.
>>345457083
That is not really moving goalposts.
I'd rather just emulate the PS1 version on my phone

>Localization is a very boring, lifeless job. Some teams try and spice it up by coming up with their own puns and names to 'make their mark' on the game.
This, probably. I haven't been doing it as long as most video game localizers, but translation can get boring at times, especially if it's just a job and you're not doing it because you personally enjoy it. I have the most fun when I can get a bit creative. I don't do the sorts of stuff NoA or Plus Alpha or others do, no, I don't change the intent of dialogue, but I mean, it's just fun when I have something that I have to get creative to translate well. Still don't condone localizers just changing things for kicks though. Only time I've ever changed a name is when I felt I had to to preserve the author's intent.
>>345463495
This so fucking much.

>>345475281
I've bought every western released game so far. Can't speak for other people but I actually expect this game to sell better than people expect. There's been so much negative publicity against SE for not releasing Dragon Quest games that now that a major remake is coming, it might get the Dragon's Crown treatment. More publicity from game sites and more people recognize it.
>>345475492
is maribel a hot little minx who loves a good dick?
>>345475281
Yeah, I planed on buying it ever since it was announced to have a NA release.

No, she's just a bitch,
>>345475281
I plan on buying VII, VIII and possibly Builders. All my bro wants is Monsters 3, although I'm sure he'll appreciate it if the remakes get announced for localization.
>>345475891
She seems like the kind of girl who would pee in your mouth every morning instead of going to the toilet and tell you you should be grateful for the treat.

They really need to establish "The Sancho Standard"
Sancho in V is the absolute upper limit to how heavy an accent can be written. If it's any "translation" worse than that, force the asshole who wrote it to commit seppuku & redo it.
>>345475665
She's literally Chichi.
So is there any code to get the DLC for 9 or am I fucked now?
I already beat the game on my actual cart but if I have to use a emulator I don't mind doing that.
>>345475665
She is a straight Tsundere. Basically the same as Deborah.
>>345477009
Chichi was extremely hungry for some dick, though.

>Saying "Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past" over and over again instead of just Dragon Quest 7
I don't know why but it just seem funny.
I honestly don't care. DQ4 was really the only localization that I felt was bad. DQ5 onward while had some iffy stuff was never at a point that annoyed me. And DQ7 is my favorite DQ game and happy I can play a much better version of that. And can't wait to play DQ8 as well.
As for stuff like Builders I am waiting for the Neo so normal PS4 reduce price so I can buy that to play PS4 games I happen to miss out on.
>>345477672
I didn't even realize it was so bad. I'd heard about DQ getting localizations regularly ten or so years ago and assumed that was still the case. Then I started playing the games, got to IV, decided to hit up a DQ thread and was surprised to find everyone bitching about the treatment they got from S-E.
>>345477727
Like from a normal cart or do I have to do emulation shit?
>>345478785
It fucking sucks when its a gamble if a new game is coming out where you live or not.
>>345479014

>>345477379
I'm talking their personality. And that's the point of Maribel. She's a plain girl from a fishing village who acts like she's a queen. And expects to be treated as such. Only difference with Deborah is she actually was rich.
>>345479083
Okay then. Cool.
Thanks for that, I guess I will replay 9 with different builds, and maybe fix the fucking EXP shit.
>>345445314
>playing dragonquest
>get to the casino
>can either spend 6 hours afk farming slots or skip it entirely
>farming the slots gives you endgame equipment very early on, destroying the game's difficulty curve
Why is this shit in the game? They didn't even streamline the farming routine.
>>345477672
They just need to give us Dragon Quest X. Which I can play for the next 4-8 years while waiting for the next surge of games.
>>345445314
I don't know about the game. My understanding is it hadn't fixed the games main problem, the forced party swapping that made everyone but the hero and Gabo weak.
In a game that's all about building up your characters that's really frustrating to me. Especially with the cast so small. You couldn't just have a 5 person party instead of 4 with three people swapping in and out?
If I'm mistaken and they DID fix that though or at least gave AP to the people sitting out I'd be really interested. Otherwise probably a pass.
>>345479427
>Hurrr wasting time farming for something optional and getting rewarded for it makes it shit
Oh what good logic you have frogposter.
Now get the fuck out.
>>345479427
If you deliberately chose the autistic path knowing it would break the game, you're the only one ton blame
>>345479427
The more recent DQs don't even give the best shit in the game. DQ8's second casino can get you the best whip in the game but otherwise there's just some decently useful shit like Falcon Blades and Prayer Rings.
>>345479427
Uhh I don't know maybe, just maybe, you could you know, just skip it like you said?
And if you find the rewards too much, you could even GASP unequip the items. Shocking, I know.
>>345479653
>My understanding is it hadn't fixed the games main problem, the forced party swapping that made everyone but the hero and Gabo weak.
This is the second time I've heard this. What are you guys even talking about? You have a party of Hero, Maribel, and Keifer for a long time, and then Gabo is added. You lose a member for a bit, get a new one and that's your party for a good deal of the game before one swaps quite a bit later on, and her level is averaged I think, though I'm not sure about that. After that you stick with those characters until near the end of the game where you can swap anyone but the Hero with the one that left. I mean, it's only a few swaps in a 100+ hour game, it's nowhere near constant. Look at FF II or IV for an example where party members actually change often.
>>345445314
Awesome, can't wait to pirate it.
>>345479427
The casinos such a waste since they're so non-interactive. DQ games don't even have cards anymore or if they do there's no payoff. Blackjack or poker is a fine time waster. 'Watch the slots' or 'watch the roullette' or 'watch the monsters fight'? It's all trash. Put actual fucking games in the casino.
Or better yet, bring back the kickass dragon quest board game.
>>345479712
Even the Liquid Metal Armor isn't anyone's best. Hero gets that set from the Dragovian Trials, Yangus can get the Metal King armor later, Jessica has the Divine Bustier and Angelo gets either the Dragon Robe or Dancer's Mail depending on what you're fighting.
>>345475281

Blame Japan's bullshit gambling laws.
Any game that used to have a gambling mini-game has been replaced with something vastly inferior. Fuck, in Pokemon's case they just straight-up removed the Game Corner in its entirety from the last release.
>>345480304
That shit was sparse when it came out.
Part of me genuinely believes SE wants to do everything in their power to make sure Enix games fail. Like, if they ever bring that PS4 port of Star Ocean 2 over, it'll probably come out the same day as some major Final Fantasy release, like DQ7 and FFXV.

Maybe if they ever make another DQ MMO there will be a miracle that lets it get released outside of Japan.

No, no no no no no.
Fuck that shit.Unless I have the god known simply as Tuppence
>>345480564
That was due to gambling becoming illegal in video games in Europe. After that Gamefreak just got rid of the gambling because it was just going to be removed from western versions anyway.
>>345476701
P-Please respond
>>345479653
>and Gabo weak
You are not using him right faggot. He was meant to bark (or whatever it is to startle the enemies) all the time. Even works against bosses who normally destroy you early on. One of the best ability in the game.
>>345481103
It could very easily happen. They're even releasing Dragon Quest X in China which means it will probably be very easy to play on those servers. Or even hack the database, get the code and make a private server. But I just want SquareEnix to give us a 'legal' way to play it.
>>345481236
That's because Gamefreak feels that Pokemon is a game everyone should have equal part in. So if one version can't have it no one will.
>>345481261

Consider the fact that pre-SE the games would only come out in US if even there. (Only two exceptions to that)
Without SE it could've completely ended with VII so the continuous bitching about SE is fucking ridiculous. Not to mention when a new game gets announced for localisation there's going to be bitching about how it's not the game that should've gotten localise, there's going to be bitching about SE, there's going to be bitching how everything isn't localised, there's going to be bitching about FF, KH and anything.

>Yoshida literally stating that they'd have to rework aspects for western audience
Which is bullshit. MMO fans are specifically looking for something that isn't a clone of WoW. When he thinks the exact opposite. And with FFXIV being a full WoW clone, they'd be smart to come out with an alternative for all the people who want something else. Not to mention the FFXI fans who hate FFXIV.
>Setting up & maintaining an MMO in general
Which is not that big of a cost. When an unknown Korean MMO can come to the west with 200k players and still make a profit, there's no excuse for SquareEnix not to release a major MMO. Plus, they could have been using FFXIV to advertise DQX and vice versa. They brought over the DQ x FF tie in already. But it made no sense since we didn't have DQX here. We just had Slimes and Golems in FFXIV because lol whatever.
>Easily
Yes. Just as easy as they went from claiming DQVII could never be localized to randomly doing it. The only thing stopping them is PR bullshit and guys like Fujishima who think the series can't sell. Despite sales and fan pressure proving him wrong.
>>345478682

DQV boss was annoying but the game as a whole was great. It was felt like it was a speedbump in alright game. Wish they didn't do it but I was still able to read it fine.
DQ6 accents was perfectly readable. I never felt the accents was too annoying.
>>345485338
Don't play mobile so I don't really know anything about it. I actually own the GBC version of 1-3 (plus Monsters 1 and 2) and enjoyed those. Plus I can play the SNES version if need be.

None of their stories are directly connected, so sure
>>345485324
1-3 is a trilogy, but the stories are only related through one character so it doesn't matter

You will just never let go of your fanboyism to see that. You just think it's good because, haha, it's Dragon Quest.
>When an unknown Korean MMO can come to the west with 200k players and still make a profit
The thing is that DQX is P2P game, not F2P, not B2P, P2P. And P2P games fail left and right. Even games that aren't -complete- WoW clones and are still part of big franchise like TESO fail to uphold P2P and just become B2P or F2P.

It should be written as "too-er."

DQ7 is the longest DQ game. The idea is you keep going to the past to different islands to save whatever bad that happen to befall there. Each island has it's own personal story and characters. Think of it like each new island is it's own new chapters in a book. If something like that fancy you please play it. People like to say you should play other DQ games but honestly you can play DQ7 first and enjoy it fully with hardly any DQ knowledge.
>>345485052
Jesus fucking Christ
For the last time, the jap version has an orchestrated OST.
MIDI is not the fucking same. We're getting cucked out of one of the biggest points of the remake.
>>345485743
3DS has a lot less piracy than the original DS. Most of the people on here claiming they will pirate are lying just to get replies and that 'pirate cred'.
And even with rampant piracy on the original DS, the games sold well. So piracy can't be used as an excuse. SquareEnix pride and ridiculous expectations is and always has been the problem.
Note, I'm not advocating piracy and I really do hope people will buy the game. But the idea that 500,000 people are going to pirate the game while only 200,000 buy it is just stupid.
>>345486232
>He doesn't like MIDI
>>345484819
Those aren't minor changes and you fucking know it.
The accents need to go.
They don't even have enough respect for this game to give it a proper launch date where it won't get fucked in the ass by FFXV
>>345486232
>For the last time, the jap version has an orchestrated OST.
At what point in my post did I say that it didn't.
>>345485963
>You will just never let go of your fanboyism to see that.
Just like you'll never get off your high horse and admit that DQX isn't a typical MMO. And the major reason you're arguing against it is your complex that you think DQ fans are entitled whiners, as you've said in the past. When all the fans are really doing is asking for games from a company that doesn't care.
>>345486332
I like the accents and love the puns.
This is my favorite DQ even though I never finished it. Lost my save somewhere on disc 2, never got around to starting over. Glad were getting this, anyone play the JP version? How does it compare to PS1?
>>345485743
You're implying we were ever going to get them anyway.
There's a 3DS version, they'll be a fan translation. Don't worry
>>345485861
There's a fan translation going for DQM right now
>>345470189
When you're from the UK the DQ accents actually work I think. I laughed a few times at how ridiculous they were.
There hasn't been a good DQ thread since Heroes was released.
>>345486701
3DS version is pretty much the PS1 version minus the excessive fat the latter had + visual overhaul
>>345486802
I was afraid of pointing that out, since if the project gets too known it might get C&D'd
>>345486440
I've never seen you actually say why exactly is DQX oh so speshul. Is it because it has Toriyama art? Too bad that the Dragon Ball online existed. RIP in pieces.
>DQ fans are entitled whiners, as you've said in the past.
These threads just keep on proving my point everytime when it comes to that. DQ fans never seem to be happy with what they get, they just have to get more - everything, RIGHT NOW.
It's obscene.
Asking is polite, what happens in these threads is
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT NOBODY WANTS THIS GAME GIVE ME Y INSTEAD NOW FUCK YOU SQUARE-ENIX FUCK YOU AND I WILL FUCKING PIRATE IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T DESERVE MONEY AND DON'T YOU DARE SKIP THAT ONE OTHER GAME I WANT BECAUSE FUCK YOU"
>>345487039
For like half a year before Heroes was released the threads were nothing but whining.
>>345486709
Yeah like JK3 right? Or any other 3ds DQ fan translation, right? Fuck off
>>345487186
>I've never seen you actually say why exactly is DQX oh so speshul.
I've explained it to you many times in the past. But you always overlook the points I make and start shitposting about DQ fans being entitled. So no point in trying again.
>>345487282
Can't really blame people since it was nearly 4 years without any DQ release. All the while Japan been getting remake after remake to celebrate 30th anniversary
>>345487039
Mostly because of this guy right here >>345487186 and >>345487282
>>345487476
Care to explain to someone who is just legit interested?
>>345487476
No you haven't.
Ultimately, it would be just another P2P set for fail because it won't WoW (hehe) anyone.
> and start shitposting about DQ fans being entitled
I only remember "it's you so I won't say anything to you because fuck you, I'm right" kind of responses handed towards me.
>>345487626
And here we are blaming me again :-)
Should I start feeling important that I'm ruining your circlejerk of SE hate?
>>345487575
Even if there was a huge gap it's still ridiculous that the threads are nothing but whining and more whining. Yakuza had 3 year gap between 5's release date in japan and in the west and the threads still discussed the far fewer games and didn't completely devolve into "FUCK SEGA OOGABOOGA" nonsense.
There are many series in the same pickle, but none of them are this fucking idiotic about it.
>>345446484
I've got a file about 20 hours into the ps1 version and I really enjoy its retro look, so when I do feel like picking up the game again I'll probably just pick up there instead of getting the remake.
>>345480304
you can buy V on Square's online store, FYI
>>345487575
Also, suggesting people to learn Japanese if they're hellbent on consuming Japanese media and getting the response of "fuck you I deserve this game in English" is ridiculous.
>>345488018
Yeah pretty much. It's up to the individual to decide if learning Japanese is worth it or not, but if you're just going to spend years bitching about not getting games, you may as well use the time you're not playing those games that you want to learn so you won't have to worry about it anymore after a couple years.
>>345487874
>Yakuza had 3 year gap between 5's release date
Yeah but how many Yakuza games was released between them? For Dragon Quest between our Joker 2 and Heroes there was 5+ games which a lot of people would have liked to play. And with no news from SE on any of them being localized. And when Heroes finally came out here SE was talking about how they will be looking into Heroes sales to see if they will support more DQ games. Which is insane since Heroes is a game only for DQ fans and no one else. At least with them talking about using Builders as a way to improve more people's understanding of Dragon Quest makes more sense.
>>345487801
Its basically many of the ideas from DQIX, but improved. For example, you can play the whole main story with others, instead of just waiting until the end game to get to multiplayer content. This is because the game has dedicated online and not limited to Wifi. This also helps many of the other problems DQIX had.
Aside from that core improvement, the things that interest me are:
-Multiplayer Parcheesi
-Can create a party of NPCs that have the stats of other real life players who are logged out; they gain some EXP and gold from being used as an NPC party member
-Crafting is its own mini game and gains bonuses from being done with other people
-New push and block mechanics added on top of the typical DQ mechanics; makes 'tanks' feel more like tanks (but the game also doesn't have set trinity roles and DPS or even healers can block as well)
-New classes
-Improvements of the classes found in DQIX
-From all accounts of the Japanese players, it has one of the best stories in a DQ game and is worth playing just for its story
-Unlike most MMOs out today, you actually are encouraged to explore the world and find content outside of the set story
-General DQ nostalgia, tons of past characters and bosses appear in the game
-The overall design of the game is a phenomenal improvement on the design of DQVIII, especially the expressions and animations of characters which are used instead of voice acting; cutscenes feel a lot more powerful than just watching a character talk for 15 minutes like in FFXIV

That's all you're going to get from this guy. So people need to stop responding to him.

>>345489782
I fucked loved this shit as a kid and would murder to play the 3DS remake.
I remember getting Pokemon Silver and not liking it as much as DQM
>>345489654
What if I want to play alone with absolutely minimal contact or interference from others?
>>345489782
>Mimic casts Thwack

Well meme'd, SE.

No thanks. Medea is literally perfect for the MC. Jessica is for Angelo.
>>345467337
>just wait until you find out how annoying they can be
They're only annoying in narrow corridors in dungeons where they sometimes become unavoidable.
>>345490240
>-Can create a party of NPCs that have the stats of other real life players who are logged out; they gain some EXP and gold from being used as an NPC party member
>>345490370
It works more of creatures with high HP. Actually death spells work really good around the 3/4 mark in most DQ games.
>>345469542
>That girl is so adorable
She reminded me of Erinn from 9.
>>345489654
Forgot to add, Dragon Quest X was overseen by members of the FFXI team, Yoshida of FFXIV, the producer of Nier and Yuji Horii. All these guys worked on one game together.
Also Dwarves are cute.
>>345489654
>From all accounts of the Japanese players, it has one of the best stories in a DQ game and is worth playing just for its story
I guess they really love the hero princess.
It's pretty unique though, how you can only play as monster races at first due to humanity being extinct at the start of the story.
Why are people so sure we're not getting XI? I can understand X because as an MMO, it would require continued support from an American company, but there's no reason to assume we're not getting DQXI as far as I can tell.
We're getting the 3DS remakes of VII and VIII, we got Heroes, and we're getting Builders. All these remakes and spin-offs are surely an attempt to gauge and build interest towards a full Dragon Quest release in the west.
>>345492157
it's mostly lack of info regarding DQXI
>>345489782
>Joker 2
>Even fucking rocks can be mimics
>>345492507
To be fair, with regards to that image, it is being released outside of Japan.
>>345492776
China isn't that big of a step
but it's a step atleast
>>345490370
Try out Thwack on big groups of enemies in DQ8 sometime, it'll usually kill 4 or 5 out of 8
>>345467471
A chunk of the dungeons are altered at least.
Example:
The last dungeon is missing the "upstream" maze, and the entrance area of it is different (about the same length, but you enter differently). However, there is now a teleporter maze.
>>345492157
After DQIX and pretty much all the DS games except rocket slime sold well, people thought we were going to get the rest of the games 'for sure'. Then we went 4 years with nothing.
The reason people are worried is because SquareEnix doesn't follow logic. And they've dropped support for DQ three times already. They've even not brought out games they were already starting to localize. You can only cry wolf so many times.
>>345487970
I've always seen it listed as no longer in stock for the last 10 years
>>345490693
I kinda want to play DQ X now. Not really into MMOs, but if I can handle things myself (though I won't say no to other players if they're cool), then that's even better. Though I'd rather not pay a monthly fee for that on top of a VPN fee.
>>345490726
One thing I like about DQ games in general is they make stuff like death spells, buffs and debuffs useful.
Except 9 for some reason, where they're trash.
>>345493383
it's definitely available
>>345486265
only 200000 people will buy it because they'll only ship 200000 copies like with dq 4 and 5 and say it performed poorly despite being sold out in every fucking store and you can't buy it.
>>345494156
They very well might do that. But some other games like Joker 1 and DQVI actually got printed more than what sold. Nintendo printed something rediculous like 500,000 copies and only about half of them sold. So there's still unsold copies on amazon and ebay.
When it comes to DQV however, the game probably would have sold 500,000 copies if it got that kind of print since it was hyped so much. But it only got around 300,000. And an eventual reprint years later. DQVI just isn't that popular for some reason.
DQVII I foresee doing as well or better than DQV. Given the 4+ years of hype and negative advertising. But it remains to be seen how many copies Nintendo will print. After DQVI didn't do so well, they might print less copies of VII.
>>345485743
>3DS piracy
>relevant
Name a single 3DS game that sold poorly bacause of piracy.
Protip: you can'tcan't.
Don't believe what the pirates on /v/ say, they're literally just 3 people.
Just look at how FE sold after their "boycott".
>>345495043
3DS was already dead by the time piracy became accessible. Last big release on the system was Smash Bros. It's just niche shit from here on out.
>>345495276
Pokemon, YW3, MH Stories and DQXI will all come out within a year. That's 30 millions copies sold in Japan alone.
Nice niche games for a dead console I guess.
>>345495276
>3DS
>dead
>>345493703
>Except 9 for some reason, where they're trash
Major bullshit. You just don't know the combo.
>>345445314
I'm very ready, never played VII, but I feel like one of the few that loved the fuck out of VI, and I hear VII is a better version of that.
I'm sad that we'll never get the remake of Dragon Quest Monsters though...that game is very dear to me and was my whole introduction to Dragon Quest.
I know people will pirate it, and that's what it is, they honestly shouldn't have waited as long as they did to release this in the west. I still do hope it sells well though.
>>345494976
It's important to keep in mind that digital is also an option. That wasn't the case for the DS remakes.
>>345498347
>such lazy coding that your script doesn't even search for pokemon threads
At least put some effort into trying to scam people.
>>345498316
VI is just as solid as the others.
I love how big and interesting to explore the world is, and the game is full of memorable moments.
Honestly II and IX are the only weak DQ games.
