Dragon Quest IX Bringing JRPGs Back Outside of Japan

[Onyx Oblivion]

Dragon Quest = Favorite RPG series

Dragon Quest III (For GameBoy) = Favorite Dragon Quest (That game was just so massive.)

Jester teams, ftw!

That release date is closer than I dreamed.

I wonder if they'll hold special polls and contests like they did in Japan. They gave special items to participants (my wife was in on those -- what with having the game since last August).

I remember one in particular where if they got 1,000,000 respondents, they'd give some cool item to everyone. Not sure what the result was though.

She's since moved on to DQVI on her DS. And some spin-ff where you control a DQ slime in a 3/4 overview action/platformer game. It also features tank battles (!?) Not sure what the name is though as I can't read Japanese...

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime?

Spoiler: Box Art and Screens

Yes!
Though hers is a Japanese "Platinum Hits" version.

Makes it hard to play her games... (She has Prof. Layton in Japanese as well as others).

maybe she should stop buying them in Japanese...

You younguns don't know what grinding is until you've played Phantasy Star 2.

Well, you youngins don't know grinding until you've played 7th Saga. Which admittedly doesn't make much sense because it's newer than Phantasy Star 2, but has at least as much grinding if not more.

YOU ARE ALL FORGETTING MAPLESTORY.
Though I'd point that out.
