I bought a Super Mario 1-1 Diorama a while back from some convention, it was pretty dope until I lost it. It uses plastics similar to the Nendoroid figures to keep everything propped up.

Perhaps reading too much into this single tweet, but I guess Dragon Quest VII is coming out sooner than I thought if they're already reserving shelf space for it? Hoping for a date confirmation tomorrow! Fingers crossed!

Were you ever curious how long it would take to beat Dragon Warrior 1 with no equipment and grinding to max level?

I was really hoping that it would either come out in July or be held up for the holidays so that I could actually play the bloody thing. From the second week of August until the second week of December I do nothing but work.

Nevertheless, the power of bitchy fans is what we can thank for VII and VIII being re-released.

Have they specified which languages the game will be in? English, obviously, but since 4, 5, 6 and 9 for the DS are in English/French/Italian/German/Spanish I was hoping that 7 and 8 would be the same.

Everyone knew it, what with all the silence, but it was a bit saddening to hear them say "yeah, we were 100% not going to release this"

But it's coming. And I'm extremely excited.

8 was my intro to the series, and based on what you said I can't wait to dig into 2 and 3.

I noticed that the mobile version of 1 looks pretty nice. Does it have a good translation / is it worth getting?

I'd like to have as many ways as possible to play 1, 2, and 3 which is why I picked up the Famicom versions to begin with. I wish they had just released the Wii collection and I would have been set.

DQ2 is terrible, even the remakes. Just play 3-7 instead.

It's supposed to have a streamlined intro (which is where I always got bored and stopped) and updated gameplay to make things less tedious.

Disagree. While 3 is still the best of at least the early (1-4) games, the remakes of 2 are solid. The original NES version was utterly awful, but the SFC/GBC/mobile versions of 2 are perfectly playable even if the GBC has shite graphics.

If I didn't just get rid of my copies of IV/VI yesterday I could have actually done that over the weekend. I can emulate copies of the originals at least to get a ballpark estimate

Part of the reason I explicitly ask in this thread like a moron is that I also tried yesterday and the Amazon customer support guy said "it works for me" and told me to try another browser or another computer, both of which do not work for me.

So it's heartening to know it's not just me!

Just don't feel like you have to finish it. If you get tired of it, stop. If you don't get tired of it, keep playing it. 8 is not a whole lot different in terms of commitment. Both are very long.

It's a great game. It's certainly got either the best story or the second best story in the series after 5. Gameplay was better than 8 since 8's battles were a bit too slow. The weakest part of 7 in comparison to 8 was aesthetics and shard hunting which may not be as much of an issue anymore.
