Personally looking forward to seeing how a well-established studio with a large amount of resources can handle the genre. I don't think we have a single "builder" game from one. It feels like a bit of an untapped space. Minecraft doesn't really count, as it's still just Mojang working on the main version.

Played for 2 hours straight, that doesn't happen too often.

Does anyone know if the full game has multiple save slots?
Yeah, the market has been flooded with terrible clones in the past few years, which is why I wasn't really paying attention to this one as well. But the demo clearly demonstrates a lot of polish so far, already had a good chuckle from some funny writing.

The game is super enjoying and relaxing. Definitely going to be picking it up day one.
I have a 2TB HDD and I'm noticing micro-stutter when turning the camera as well along with slight performance issues.

Sent to PS4, will play later on today. Hyped, but more hyped for my son to play it!

I heard that happens when you're looking between the screen and the page rapidly. Just do one or the other man!
I think I'm going to go vita. Mostly concerned about save slots and the potential for my kid to save over mine. On the ps4 I could just switch profiles but on vita I have to be a be cleverer ha.
Also, I'm not sure I'll be done dqvii in time for this and I'm playing every evening haha

Oh, neat. I didn't realize this was running at 60 FPS. Just started playing the demo, and it's really endearing.
I am hesitant to keep playing this because it's so good, but I don't know if I wil have the patience to do this again.

I'm really worried about this game. I mean, it looks fun, but I feel like they're making an already niche game more niche, and that they're going to base the future of localizing DQ games on this. Oh, DQ builders didn't sell, DQ must be a lost cause overseas! I am glad we are getting this game though.

Heh. I highly doubt this. We're probably going to get DQHeroes 2, and we're probably going to get DQXI. DQVII just launched on 3DS and DQVIII is slated for next year.

Heroes bombed yet here we are with builders. No doubt heroes 2 will come next year with 11 probably being in 2018
I did have a brief go on the Japanese demo but I think the days of me playing untranslated Japanese RPGs are long gone.
Have spent a while playing and have loved what I've played so far and would like to pick the game up at some point. Square seem to be on a bit of a roll this winter, I could quite happily buy this, Final Fantasy XV and World of Final Fantasy at launch but it seems more than a little excessive for games of this type.
I'll surely end up getting all three at some point though.

when that old dude steals your bed. feelsbadman.
Don't have the game but for what i saw there's dungeons. Dunno if there's huge caverns like in Minecraft :/
Mind you, the world is not random generated, it's always the same world.

Bahaha! That's a good one Donnie. I'm actually almost done the second volume. =P One more issue to go!

My son loves Minecraft which I absolutely hate. Downloaded the demo for him see if he likes it. Gonna play with him and see if anything clicks with me. Has the potential to be a massive blockbuster.

Awesome can't wait to try this out. And now I know what to get my nephews (big Minecraft fans with PS4s) for Christmas!
One of my favorite features of this gen (at least on PS4?) is being able to download something to my PS4 at home while I'm at work!

Grabbed both and will try them out later. Really looking forward to this.
Liking the demo and I'm almost sure I'll get the game, but I don't think it will be big. Hell, even in Japan Minecraft is still king.
This is not Minecraft with RPG elements, but an RPG with Minecraft elements. It misses a lot of what Minecraft was in terms of freedom and variety.

I played the JPN demo. It was fun. Day one.
People compare it to minecraft but it plays very different. A lot of the stuff is superficial comparison

Thanks for the link.
Why doesn't it show up on PS4 PS Store anyway ? Let's hope the new price will actually allow Sony to improve PSN... Yeah, not really holding my breath here.

I'm kind of shocked by how good this game is, and also how well it runs on the Vita. I'm also surprised there hasn't been anything quite like this before, where the Minecraft/Terraria formula is taken and spun into a full-fledged RPG.
This just became a definite day-one purchase for me.

Always wanted to get into Minecraft but the one time I attempted it, I was put off by the aimlessness of it all. Need a little bit more structure in my games to keep my attention nowadays.
This looks like being that game. Looking forward to downloading tonight.

Visible stutter when you move the camera around.

Will my save carry over to the full game? Is it that kind of demo?
That's how he thanks me for saving his life.
Anyway, great demo. I went from being on the fence to day 1 in the span of 30 minutes.

I'm really loving it so far. Giving more structure to a building game is an interesting approach, even if I tremendously enjoy creative, 100% free and open ended games. After spending dozens of hours cooping Minecraft, the lack of coop is a disappointment, but we just pass the controller around.
Bonus points for the DQ1 references and all the tongue in cheek narration and dialogue.
