Too add to the article, Horii noted that there are quite a few middle-aged men in the series, so he had to add Yangus to the roster this time. He also said if he doesn't add him now he'd have to add so many men at once when the sequel (if exists) gets released :D
 
I am getting very hype for this came, yet still don't believe it will come out in the states. Gaf, if it does not, should i buy it digital on the JPN PSN, or just order the import retail disc?

Whichever one is cheapest or you like most. It really doesn't make much of a difference since you're going to need to buy any DLC (if you decide to buy any) through a Japanese account. With that said, I still think that this has a much higher chance of seeing a western release than some are giving it. I know that many just see the series as a lost cause in the west, but basically all Warriors-style games see a western release now.
 
I will totally buy a PS4 and this Day 1, is this is localized and they bring back the DQVIII VAs. Also I want to kick ass with Alena <3

Alena and Jessica? Just need Bianca to complete the trifecta.


Wait how old is Yangus anyways? I never saw him as an "old geezer".

I figured he was 30+. For Japan that's pretty ancient, right?


Gimme Ragnar McRyan and Tsarvena Alena please

In all seriousness it is possible. The first thing the president of SCEJ/A said when Horii came on stage was "welcome back home" which would be an odd thing to say just for a Musou spinoff title.
Weren't they "home" on a Nintendo console? That's messed up.


Boing yoing yoing Jessica
Now gimme Bianca

It's guaranteed.

Man. This just makes me wish Dragon Quest XI will be as good as DQVIII. It also makes me even more interested in DQ Heroes.

Yeah if people want a console mainline DQ game again they need to buy Heroes. It's kind of shitty since alot of people hate the Musou games but they are definitely gauging interest with this game.

Well, it's going to be the first localized DQ game since a long time, you all better buy it to show Square Enix that there is still a fanbase here.
I want DQ X and VII Remake, dammit!
 
I... I... I had absolutely no idea about this game!!!

What is it about?

And having Yangus is a major plus for me! Easily one of the best characters on DQ history!

I don't know what this game is, but I want it.

I watched the trailer and I still don't know what it is, but I want it.

But I don't have any of the consoles it's on.

It kinda looks like Hyrule Warriors.. er.. Dynasty Warriors in terms of gameplay. Is it anything like those games? Because I don't know anything about either of those games but both remind me of an Xbox 360 game called 99 something or other that I played the demo of once. Which reminds me, I really should get Hyrule Warriors because it has Zelda stuff in it.

I'd buy it just for Dragon Quest even though it's nothing like Dragon Quest aside from the characters. Does it have single-player? Or is it all online only?

Also, all that experience and he's only on level 8?

I would play as Jessica.

Isn;t this game called Heroes....where the heroes at?

Seriously.

I really need to replay Dragon Quest VIII...

The voice acting in that one was FANTASTIC!
I miss it so much from the iOS port. The music I can live without but the voice acting, I don't care if it adds a gig or so to the file size. I miss it so much.


Also, are the only weapons swords/melee weapons in this game? I would assume for obvious reasons, but I always played Jessica with either a whip or boomerang, which I guess wouldn't even work. I have never upgraded her Staves status.
