The Dragon Quest games (new and remakes) released on DS were excellent, and I'd love to add this one to my collection. It would've been nice to get a compilation instead of seeing them spread out so much... but I'll take what I can get.


Using StreetPass is a great idea.  Much better than having to leave the game running in sleep mode and hoping to exchange data with someone doing the same thing. (Yeah, that never happens unless you are at a con or something.)

Please come to the US!!

Cousin Larry, now we do the dance for joy!

Woot and Double Woot.
Now I just gotta finsh VI and procure IV and V.

IV is very cheap and easy to find.  I think people poo poo it a bit because it's fairly simplistic combat wise, though it's narrative and game structure is fascinating, especially Torneko's main quest.

But V is a bit more pricey-- no one ever has a sale on a new copy (though it's been out for years) so be prepared to pay full price for a new copy or maybe 5 bucks off for a used copy.  V, of course, being the more beloved and revered game.  Being frugal, been waiting for someone to sell it off of MSRP for a long time, but no dice.

I know what you mean. For a long while there, (before VI came out) V was on my Amazon wishlist at $99. I missed a chance to nab it at about $36 around a year ago. Now it's back up to $45. Not bad, considering.

I'm pretty sure Dragon Quest V had another printing after DQIX's release in NA... too bad you guys missed when it went down to $11 a couple months ago!

Anyways, this is good news. This is the only mainline Dragon Quest game that I don't own, and I don't fancy paying the PS1 game's prices.

I hope it's true and if so I hope that they tweak it a bit so that the shards aren't in completely random places with no direction that renders the game unplayable without a walkthrough.
