Please tell me that we're getting the special edition PS4 with it. I've been thinking about buying one and that would send me over the edge.

Has their been any news about either of the Monsters game remakes on the 3DS getting brought over? I'd buy either of them in a heartbeat but I haven't heard anything about them.

They basically remade the entire game and also made it much less of a slog, AFAIK.

Which also means that they redid at least parts of the script, so just putting the old translation in isn't going to work.

Even if they hadn't changed the script I think any good translation studio would go over the Japanese script anyways and compare it to the old translation to make sure there weren't errors/new localisation inconsistencies. And at that point you're doing the same amount of work translating either way.

Too bad I'm still playing Disgaea. I don't think I can take all the good PS4 games coming out this month.

And the 3rd Rocket Slime game that I didn't know existed until this week

I'm super excited that we're getting these games because I didn't finish 8, and never even touched 7.

Also this gives me a glimmer of hope that we'll get the remakes of DQM 1 and 2.

They will probably do Joker 3 at this point if sales do well. It's kinda late to be doing dqm 1 or 2, both of which are primarily online games.

What makes them primarily online? Like I remember that a lot of their extra time came from those randomly generated key worlds, but those weren't really restricted by being able to trade with other players or anything in the originals.

I might get a PS4 for Black Friday and this'll be the first game I play.

I was at Gamestop a week ago for their 4/$9 last gen sale and heard the DQ8 theme coming from one of their TVs and freaked out a little.

It is also going to be on the PC if you're waffling about getting a PS4

Well, to be fair, it usually is disappointing when the next itteration of a game in a series has fewer features than the previous one. DQ7 was also the first of the remakes to appear on the 3DS, so it felt like SQEX was setting the standard for the system at that point, which they pretty much did if you factor in the dqm remakes, which all contain most of said features as well.

DQ8 was first put on mobile platforms with no mention of a 3DS release, then came relatively out of no where as a remake. They threw in some nice extras and all to make sure there would be a reason for owners of the other versions to buy the new one as well, but overall, it feels like last generation DS level remake.

I guess a lot of people don't agree with me because they know only DS remakes, whereas I've been playing the 3DS ones and getting spoiled by the level of new content in them, thus expecting it to be a given at this point.

What did you actually want from a 3DS remake of 8? Like, my only complaint would be that it doesn't look as nice as the PS2 version.

But you seem to think that they should have overhauled systems or something and I'd like to know what those would be.

e: oh and I'd like a way to reset skill builds

Online content like that which was in all 3 of the other 3DS games.

Includes pseudo DLC for free, as well as streetpass features that add dozens of hours of gameplay to the game, which I stress, is done online via wi-fi. Not sure why so many people seem to keep missing the fact that dqm, dqm2, and dq7 all streetpass over the Internet, meaning you will always have people to pass from your home.

But the online content that you're referring to is what exactly? If it's Monster Arena battles, then you make it sound like they've already got DQM1&2 to cover that.

Like, DQ8's arena is just recruit poo poo, so it doesn't really have the form a party of perfect monsters aspect going for it.

And what was 7's online content? I haven't played the Japanese games, and I haven't really seen any import reviews or anything.

DQ7 has maps (or shard fragments to fit the theme) that work like dq9s maps. They come both in DLC and player generated form.

Oh okay, I see what you're looking for then. I mean, I'm not sure lengthy RPGs like Dragon Quest need padding like that. But now I understand what you wanted at least.

Did the DLC shards in 7 have some story attached to them, or was it just here's a map, kill the boss?

There are 5 included dlc missions in addition to the costumes and weapons
Arena batle
Psaro
Nokturnus
Bjorn
Zoma

the game takes like 60+ hours to full clear as it is and they went straight into production of the sequel with 4 player co-op.

Co-op sounds amazing even if it's online only.

I know it's not a great answer either but square occasionally does new printings of their older games, I've seen new runs of DQ games on their store during some seasonal sales. So that may happen again in the lead up to XI's release

Yeah I got a copy of V about 2 years ago for $20 new because of this

I just started over. I think the contrarian change was caused by me running away from the Aliahan castle at the very start and insisting to my mother that I didn't want to meet the king. I always do that sort of thing in every game that lets me, just to see what happens. So I was punished for having fun. Now I'm saying yes to every drat "but thou must!" question in the game lest it sic the fun police on me again.

The game changing your personality based off stuff 90% of players won't do sounds funny and cool, actually

It was also cute how you had maybe 1 or 2 things that could erase enemy tension, and iirc you had to spec into them with skillpoints. If you didn't know they existed and were building a different weapon specialty on those characters, well, sucks for you, enemies can Psyche Up and there's dick-all you can do about it.

if you weren’t giving Angelo Charisma then you were playing wrong :colbert:

Hi i downloaded the pre order code items and installed them but the game still doesnt detect them when I go to claim special rewards. I have re installed them like twice now and still nothing.

if you haven’t found it already you need to press square and go in to one of the sub menus to claim rewards, might be under misc.?

It's not the only one though. I personally have serious problems with the non-existant difficulty (which is admittedly self inflicted to some degree but this was not a problem I had in 8). Also Veronica is easily the worst character I've had to put up with in the last couple of years and she gets a lot of lines. So does Serena, who also sucks but at least sucks because she is boring and not because she is an annoying character archetype combined with one of the worst anime tropes. Not even Sylvando really makes up for it and Sylvando fuckin rules.

Game's still good though.

Veronica’s dominant personality traits being strong sense of justice and ANGRY, owns actually

Like yeah, she’s super blustery but she’s also the moral compass of the party, and balances out the extreme amounts of chill Serena has.
