Awesome, thanks for answering my question.
I think I might try getting this when it comes out in the US, my first Dragon Quest! I'll try and get my girlfriend to get it too, there's local co-op right?

That foreigner guy is a loser. Why would anybody waste their time randomly cheering on one game and hating on another...oh wait that's what the internet and GAF is for.
Anyway yeah those are the game books. Again, with the power of the internet, can't believe people still buy them. There must be a Japanese version of gamefaqs.com and hopefully without the community aspect to it.

So any impressions from people that got it? I've played a little over an hour and just got to the part where you lose your wings and go down to the village that you were protecting. I guess the main part of the game starts from here. The part where you're an angel really reminded me of DQ6 when you first go to the illusion world and no one can see you.

No kidding. As soon as I can find it online, I doubt I'll be able to keep myself from buying it.

Who knows, but DQIV for DS released in NA ten months following the JP release, and DQV was six months after its JP release. Granted, those are remakes, but maybe it's not completely illogical to expect less than a year. I'm hoping for February '10 or so, I just don't think it's realistic to expect it this fall. I'd love to be surprised though.

Hubba hubba.
Damn I wish we got guidebooks like that here in the US. I much prefer to have something like that at my hands than having to wade through walls of text on the internet....especially gamefaqs.
Doublejump books have been the closest that I've seen...but there's probably no chance in hell they'll be doing a guide for DQIX. It'll probably be prima or brady or some shit like that. :\

I think it would be easier to determine a release on when the announcement was made for the localization of the other two games relative to the Japanese release. Though, with the unhappiness about IVr and Vr sales in the rest of the world, and the fact that this is neither a remake or as short as those games, I'm not hoping for anything under a year. Sounds a lot like A Dance With Dragons :lol.
Who knows though, already seeing line by line translations pop up on various sites as people play through the game. Maybe playing through an import copy won't be that bad after all.

So sporsk got to meet Horii. Cool!
antispin said:
Yeah, they're about 10 bucks. I walked into a Yamada this morning a few minutes after it opened and walked out about 5 minutes later with DQ9 and one of the cases. Being in a small town has some benefits, it seems.
The case is nice, but it's painted on the outside so I'm all nervous about scratching it. I feel like I need a case for the case.

So, um, has Japan collapsed yet?

Some pics would be appreciated, if you can.
Also: there seem to be two versions announced -- a silver/grey and a dark grey/black combo -- were they both available for purchase. I ask cause I only see the lighter version (meant to be used with white DSi, probably) available online and I wanted the darker one, for black DSi. Thanks for your time answering these.
antispin said:
No problem. I only saw the light one(which is the one I wanted), so I don't know if there's a darker one. Pictures were taken with a cellphone camera, so they're not the greatest. I tried to keep my hand out of most of the pictures, but it's in a few, so try not to be distracted by it's awe-inspiring beauty.

If you have a wrist strap or something attached on the back, it seems like you'll have to take it off before putting the case on, then it put it back on afterwards. All the buttons/stylus/ports are easy enough to get to with it on.
