One of the greatest RPGs ever is being released on the 3DS this friday, with all the content still in as well a lot of bonus stuff.

- No random encounters, all encounters are wandering enemies in the overworld now.
- Option to double speed on battle animations
- Alchemy pot improved to make multiple items from the start of the game, it also completes recipes instantly.
- Several UI improvements to make it easier to teleport
- "Stat tweaking and balancing,' tho idk what this means yet really!
- Two new post-game dungeons!
- New monster arena challenges
- New Costumes for Yangus, Angelo, Red, and Morrie (Only Jessica and Hero had alternate clothes in the original)
- New Recipes
- New Equipment
- New Monsters

I'm hype as gently caress. I lost many weeks to this game as a teen and I can't wait to have a new version of it on friday.

I know this wasn't your original avatar but I just love this game. Cheers, rediscover.
I going to buy it, only played the first hour or so on an emulator and it kept crashing and stuff so I decided to just hold off until this Big day

ps2 emulation can be really rough, I'm so glad it's being repackaged like this

it's not about exporting, he made them remove it from subsequent Japanese versions as well. he's a big baby who hates hearing people arrange his video game music for live performance and can keep them from using or reusing any version of his music in any context for any or no reason

It's considered by many the best in the Series or at least up there.

This displeases Dev- ..van. Shut up.
I'm extremely glad I spend that money on preordering this instead of getting 42.3 dollar menus items, but not for the sole reason you may think (would also like to lose weight before summer).

theres like no way you won't like the game..it's a very straight-up traditional RPG, but everything about it is executed immaculately. the DQ series is largely fantastic and even then this game manages to stand tall compared to the others, dq11 has some big rear end shoes to fill

Yeah I almost bought the DS one but outside of that I haven't really looked at the series, its new stuff for me. Playing gaming classics for the first time is a powerful feeling and I'm definitely looking forward to this now
