batbeg · May 21, 2008

I'm just taken to the main Square-Enix site.

Rpgmonkey · May 21, 2008

Sorry, messed up the link.

Does it work now?

Tiktaalik · May 21, 2008

Red Scarlet · May 21, 2008

He fixed it now.

ivysaur12 · May 21, 2008

Officially I don't think DQ4 was but we knew it was coming, but I'm pretty sure V & VI confirmed for US is totally new and awesome.

Shiggie · May 21, 2008

wait?
4, 5 and 6 are coming?

A Human Becoming · May 21, 2008

The only DQ games I've beaten are the original and VIII; I've played II and VII.

What should I expect for IV?

Red Scarlet · May 21, 2008

I can feel my money crying at how little play these versions will get.

Sad_Panda · May 21, 2008

According to the site, release date is September 16...so much for a summer release :/ oh well, FF IV should be enough for my RPG summer fix anyway.

batbeg · May 21, 2008

Either it's me or the site is getting hammered, but it's working at least.

Though not a big fan of the only DQ game I've played, I've been encouraged to play at least one of these three, so I suppose I'll start with IV.

I'm not a Toriyama fan, but I love his DQ designs, and plus I'll be supporting this fledgling-in-US series.

x3sphere · May 21, 2008

Site has a release date too

Check the about page - September 16

Error · May 21, 2008

Awesome, can't wait for this.

Dead Prince · May 21, 2008

Sept 16th is SOOOO far away ;(

manueldelalas · May 21, 2008

YES!!!!

Haeleos · May 21, 2008

I have no interest in the ugly FF remakes, but this ... this I have been waiting for. There is light after Etrian Odyssey 2.

tetrisgrammaton · May 21, 2008

HOLY SWEET GOD ALMIGHTY

RAISE THE GLASSES

TODAY IS A GLORIOUS DAY

Aeana · May 21, 2008

Great! Cool that they're keeping "Zenithia," too.

ivysaur12 · May 21, 2008

I wonder if "Zenithia" is their name for the trio? Seeing those logos in English is just so weird.

And I've never played these before, I'm really excited. The set-up for DQ4 sounds awesome.

Red Scarlet · May 21, 2008

What's it say for 6? Can't read it.

jaundicejuice · May 21, 2008

It's nice to finally have a concrete release date.

This will be my first time playing Dragon Quest IV.

DiddyBop · May 21, 2008

the 5 chapters thing for DQ4 sounds interesting,cant wait!

MarkMan · May 21, 2008

I loveeee that scrolling map. I don't know if I should buy it again or import DQ5....

Dragona Akehi · May 21, 2008

Bitches don't know about my Zenithias.

jaundicejuice · May 21, 2008

It's just nice to hear that music, I've left the site running in the background while I surf.

Loto · May 21, 2008

Awesomesauce!

Glad to see these games getting love.

Philia · May 21, 2008

I wonder if there's much difference between the SNES versions and these. IV I'll definitely DEFINITELY replay again since it been... oh my god, 15 years or so since I played it.

thebagofsand · May 21, 2008

Iam Canadian · May 21, 2008

I was kind of hoping for a summer release for Dragon Quest IV, but I wasn't realistically expecting it.

Besides, I'm too busy being happy that the fifth and sixth games were confirmed for release.

JayDubya · May 21, 2008

YES. V is so damn good.

This and FFIV DS remake this year make me rather happy.

Now, on the non-remake front, if only there was some word on DQIX.

NolbertoS · May 21, 2008

Well, now I can "officially" say that DQ IV, V and VI will be coming stateside soon. Never doubted Dragona, Red Scarlett or Aeana about the games coming stateside, but as Red Scarlett said, I was afraid they'd get "Heartbeat'd" Now most likely DQ IX will take awhile before getting released and hopefully with more DS sales, SE will see the potential to remake DQ I - III in DS graphics, just so I can have the entire collection on a handheld.

Background:
I'm not typically big into RPGs (save Fire Emblem), though I have played quite a few (e.g. Golden Sun, Earthbound, DW1, Mario&Luigi, Paper Marios). I did really like Dragon Warrior (NES), but the fact that your party followed you around like a snake (I've never really liked that) in DW2 made me decide to pass on it. (When you get very few games per year, you end up passing up games for ticky reasons.) I'm considering DQIV (even bought DWIII (GBC) recently to try to see how it went), but I'm still not 100% sure.

Questions:
Can someone explain how the series goes? I've heard about the stories being in three episode arcs (e.g. 1-3 have ties, 4-6 have ties), but are they any other ties between the games? Can someone explain how DQIV would be viewed by someone who only really played DW1 in the series? Do your party members follow you around like a snake in DQIV DS?

Just play DQIV through VI as they get released, and then come back and tell us.

VII and VIII are related too. Just not as closely as IV - VI which is less tightly knit compared to I - III.

The differences between the original versions and the remake versions of Dragon Quest games are always huge.

DQ I - III is referred to as the Loto trilogy. Pretty much all 3 games tie into each other, as u discover how the legend of Loto started and continued through the generations by fighting the next evil villain that menaced the Land. I recall awhile back that DQ IV to VI was referred to as the Zenithian trilogy. I can't say much as I never got the chance to fully finish DQ V and VI.

Regarding your party following u like a snake, yes they're always behind you. In DQIV they introduced the wagon, so you got a wagon to hold your extra party members.

I don't know what sort of crazy calender you use in Canadia, but September 16th is still summer here in America!

Wooo! America!
