Betrayalton!
but the monster sprites are awesome
Looks good. I hope it comes out in English, since I only have a US 3DS.
Oh it will.
Just add two years.

Looks good. I will definitely pick this up if it is localized.

Yes! Death to sprites! Let's hope Pokemon follows.
Well, they already made 3D models for all of them, so I assume it will.

The only thing Nintendo can do is not distribute and advert the game for them, what makes square lose money becuase they game sells worse, that is what forces them to tranlate their games to PAL-5. Its what happened with Capcom and Phoenix Wright games in Europe, and thank god capcom camed to its senses that time.
The bad thing, is that Nintendo was offering its services to square to translate to italian and spanish KH3D and FFTheatrhytm, and square denied them, so im not seeing much hope for the game to come to all european countires thanks to nintendo.

? If Nintendo is publishing it would probably take around a year at most.
Drawn-out animations are a bigger concern. Let's hope they don't go crazy.

Hope this gets as much love as the DQV remake, it really needs it. Original game was far too...flabby, for want of a better word.

Well, I7ll be excited. I've researching this series lately, seems like I may enjoy it.
True, but DQVII needed more effort put into it after three DS remakes reused the same engine it did.

The game looks great from what little is shown.
I hope it can be localized in the West (PAL especially), also considering that 9th episode sold well, and that all the recent main episode have been localized.
I hope both SE and Nintendo will not give up with the franchise over here.
It would be great to see also DQX coming to Wii U oversea (but I know that its nature will be a big problem)

The original rumor said this would be announced at a meeting, to celebrate a certain milestone, and this is apparently leaked from next week's Jump? 3DS reached the 7 million units mark some time ago, and crossed the 7,777,777 mark a few days ago. So... Nintendo press conference/ 2013 preview this week? Probably not...

Is this generally considered to be one of the better games in the series?
My only exposure to Dragon Quest is Dragon Quest XI on the DS, which I loved. I'd be interested in picking this up if it ever gets localized.

Celebrate the milestone of Square Enix losing money again.

There's a strong possibility that the 3DS will get MH, DQ, and Pokemon all in the same year next year.

I'm sure you'll find everyone has a favorite, but I didn't enjoy the pacing of this one as much originally. The remake might change things up a bit but this is the longest game in the series.
I might be more welcoming to it now though, since I won't be getting DQX.

already abandoned my second playthrough of VII, not sure if i can take this another time. i wonder how many hours 3D animations will add on top of an endless game.
i think my original file was 120+hours.
big for japan. will be ignored everywhere else.

Awesome, this should be good.
That said I would rather Rocket Slime and DQ Monsters 3DS first instead.

Who/what is the little purple guy with wings between Hero and Kiefer in that one scan? I don't remember anything like that in the original game. I wonder if that might be a new character, like this game's version of Sandy (was that her name, the fairy from IX?) maybe.
The graphics look pretty good. This game would most likely make me spring for a 3DS if it got localized.

I'll bet they're using Terry's Wonderland engine. The scans look similar.

I could see monsters getting localised next year, no chance of rocket slime (well tiny chance on eshop just possibly)
Man, I remember playing this game on PSone. Game just kept on going and going and going... I was bored after 3 months of playing. Story was boring and monsters are just color swaps of others. I still think 7 was the weakest of the DQ line.
There's very little chance of this making it to the west. Nintendo seems to lose interest in localizing DQ games. There are still Rocket Slime 3, Terry's Wonderland and DQX waiting to be localized before that.

This rumour had been floating around for quite a while, but I'm really glad to see it turned out to be true. Keeping my fingers crossed for a swift localisation.
I doubt that, it looks better. Plus I doubt TOSE is doing the remake since they don't usually handle them.
Plus I would hate that since I still think that looks horrible.
Bring over more Slime Mori Mori instead if you have to choose between it and the Terry remake Nintendo/S-E!

I guess I get a 3DS whenever this releases in America... though I have been through the game twice and I'm not sure if I can do another 70+ hours...
Wants:
Quick Save!

New Dungeon
"Run" button
Other things would be nice:
replacing the CG cutscenes with In game (the existing cutscenes are awful)
retooling the beginning of the game so that you don't spend 20 + hours before unlocking the class system (not by changing the story, just making it flow better. The game is incredibly slow before you start changing classes)

The first 90 minutes of the game have no battles at all. It feels like an adventure game as you move around, talk to people, and uncover a mystery that leads into the game proper - complete with puzzles.
The rest of the game is like a collection of short stories, each taking place within a self-contained island lost to time and space. The stories have their own flavor, a small cast of characters, etc. Some are more focused on normal RPG stuff including combat, some are more puzzle forced.
The game has the most variety out of any DQ game ever made. It's pretty amazing.

That actually sounds like an ideal RPG for me, I vastly prefer variation via puzzles, non-stupid sidequests and exploration over the modern "go from A to B and fight 2372813 enemies on your way" approach. That doesn't mean I'm against battles in RPGs, I just don't like if they are all you have to do despite walking around.
They should bring back canvassing for guests so I actually have a chance to use this feature.

It would really suck if they never bring Rocket Slime 3 over, the DS one would have to be one of my top DS games, it made me love the Dragon Quest games. The amount of character and charm in that game is just amazing. Such a shame if they never bring it over.
I'd like to see a 3DS Vagrant Story remake.
