DualShockers writes, "Dragon Quest is such a long-standing and beloved franchise, which makes reviewing the latest title both easy and difficult, at the same time. My first RPG experience was with the original Dragon Warrior (it’s title in the U.S. way back in the day), so there are many aspects to these games that still ring nostalgic in my mind. But, at the same time, the franchise has some very old hold-overs that are still around from the early days and I find it hard to understand why they’re still around in this day and age. Those things by no means make this a horrible game, because they are franchise staples, for all intents and purposes. On the other hand, if I was a developer making an RPG today, I don’t know if I would think those things would translate well to a modern audience, especially one that is a bit jaded on the whole JRPG genre in general...."
Despite having some of the best storylines and customization options in the series, Dragon Quest IX is the only installment to never receive a port.
I wo set why this port never happened. Now with a larger and more interested fanbase, may e they will?!
I wish the majority of the previous mainline Dragon Quest games were readily available on modern platforms. 3DS is the only system that fits that criteria but this should be expanded upon
To this day, Dragon Quest IX remains a Nintendo DS exclusive title. However, the team behind the game has made comments suggesting that a Dragon Quest IX remake is possible.
I'd be game for that. It was fun having a team of DBZ characters running around. Lol
There is a long tradition of Square Enix Remakes dating back through PlayStation history. That tradition continues with Final Fantasy VII, and will probably keep going after that. Here are some titles gamers would love to see again.
Why do lists like this never ask for the Eidos side of Square Enix? There’s plenty of remakes id like to seem from Eidos’ stories history
Personally I’d just want Square Enix to release FFVIIR period before thinking of whatever remake they could work on after it.
Plus it’s not like we even have to wait for that to release for another remake to be made. Their last one was Secret of Mana last year. They can still release smaller scale remakes in the meantime
I would love for Square to take Chrono Trigger as is, repolish it with an overlay of lighting effects and actually get an orchestra to do the soundtrack. (I wish CT had a live cover too).
Also would love to see Enix's E.V.O Search for Eden remade in something that resembles the Ubisoft Framework Engine. This game is incredible yet almost completely forgotten.
Final Fantasy VIII
They already skipped VIII out with a port and trophy support so they better not skip it for the next remake
The garden battle in HD would be glorious
Great game, but a couple really nagging issues. Maybe that is just personal preference, but still a great game nonetheless.
This is a sick title that I can't wait to play myself. I have been into the Dragon Quest series for a while , not since the beginning, but since the Gameboy Color version.
I wish they would have brought this over to other systems though, I will have to wait until I pick up the 3DS to play it!
I really wanted this game, it has been getting a lot of possitive reviews. I might just have to pick it up or gamefly it.
perhaps its time i dust off the DSi
I downloaded this... I've got one of those flashcards.. You see
Haven't gotten around to actually playing it but i have have started it & it's quite good
Anyone else done the same? Don't be shy :)
