The only one I want is DQV, and I'd want it for Android.

Are these games iOS only?

I don't know about Dragon Quest V, but We'll get more info about Dargon Quest V for android soon.

 

[Scrawnton]

I'll be honest, this type of rpg night work very well on iOS. I think I might check it out. I loved it on DS and it was the game to create my Dargon Quest obsession.

 

[Leonsito]

Why can't I slay the Dargons on Android?

They are still looking for the Andorid developer console to upload it.

[TheBaronOfNA]

[Ban Puncher]

WE NEED DARGON ZORD POWER NOW

 

[Berordn]

This version has the stuff removed from the DS realese?

Looks like its just the DS version ported to iOS.

 

[glaringradio]

Looks like its just the DS version ported to iOS.

This would be great, but it's Square Enix, so I'm fully expecting the port to run like absolute crap

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Dr. Steve Brule in charge of naming this one.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Came here expecting some hilarious DQ clone. This is even better

 

[gngf123]

I am way too bored.

 

[Mistouze]

Dargon Quest is a pretty cool dude, he quests dargons, doesn't care about having first, second or third installements abd skips straight to the fourth one.

 

[rocketskates]

Holy shit dargons.

 

[cartman414]

Dr. Steve Brule in charge of naming this one.

They're dargons, ya dingus!

 

[clay_ghost]

What ith??? This have party talk that is missing from the DS game??? Oh I am so going to buy it when it's on sales.




This actually can be the definitive vversion if it run well :O

 

[Widge]

COMING SOON

 

[everyday math]

I eat Dargons for Breakfast.

 

[itzknickknac]

Ermagurd. I'm dying ser hurd.

 

[MThanded]

Dargon quest....

Lol

 

[Danthrax]

$19?? That's about $18 higher than it needs to be to sell on iTunes.

 

[mr_toa]

please support landscape mode, please support landscape mode ... :-/

 

[Scythesurge]

My life, I don't even know anymore. This is so reflective on S-E's general non-caring attitude for the series in the West that it actually hurts lol

 

[clay_ghost]

Hmm wondering when the Android version will be out. I am actually looking forward to playing this lol. Party talk is such a great addition.

 

[andymcc]

Party talk is such a great addition.

Did they add the party talk that was missing from the localized DS version?

 

[Raw64life]

I wish I could say I was even remotely surprised. They probably wont even bother changing it, as they clearly don't care if people know that Dragon Quest exists outside of Japan anymore.

 

[clay_ghost]

Did they add the party talk that was missing from the localized DS version?

Hope they won't lie.

Game Features
・Party Talk
Chat with your loyal companions any time you like during your adventure!
They’ll tell you all kinds of interesting things, depending on where you are in the story, and what heroic feats you have accomplished!

 

[Wario64]

$19?? That's about $18 higher than it needs to be to sell on iTunes.

It'll be $15 USD

 

[Forkball]

They Woll Smoth'd the title.

That price is pretty ridiculous. I love this game, but I bought it new for $20 on my DS five years ago. Now that was a deal!

Good luck getting it for that now.

 

[Bladenic]

Wait a second, party chat is actually in this version? It wasn't in the DS release.

 

[andymcc]

Good luck getting it for that now.

i don't really understand the complaint. if this was a DS game, everyone would be eating up this price point.

Wait a second, party chat is actually in this version? It wasn't in the DS release.

apparently so!

Party talk being in would actually make this a must for me. Bring on the dargons I say.

 

[infiniteloop]

never played a DQ before, what's best to start with 4 or 8?
1 is out in Japan for iOS, right?

Although at this point, with the new iPhone next month, i might just wait to see if they update it for the new screen size/ios 8.

I have no interest in the port until this lol. Luckily DQ5 and 6 have party talk or I will have to buy them all again on ios or Android....

Wait did they add Party Chat back in?

Didn't they take that out of the DS release?

SE actually putting in effort?


Most likely they were in a rush to get the DS version out and remove the incomplete scripts....
Wonder if some one can repatch the DS version with the ios script?

 

[Nirolak]

[TxdoHawk]

How is dargon slain, how princess get capturpt

 

[silvermember]

Apparently if you are to believe Mike Fahey of Kotaku.com:

It's not a misspelling. It's a means of keeping the game out of search, since New Zealand is a test bed for iOS releases. If I search Dragon Quest on the NZ store, only the previously released game shows up.

There have been plenty. In my mobile editor role I was constantly getting directed to games released in NZ, Canada and Australia under false names. These are all test markets, where they'll clue a limited group to the game's release before going wide to iron out bugs and such.

I mean, I've got no confirmation here — for all I know this is a massive mistake — I've just seen this same maneuver used previously.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I am way too bored.

I'm glad someone was bored enough to do it!

 

[Moon_frogger]

$19?? That's about $18 higher than it needs to be to sell on iTunes.

You think they would have learned this after all their other premium priced ports bombed so hard.











/sarcasm

 

[spookyfish]

Waiting for Western release of Dragon Quest X for Wii U..

Dargon Quest X will probably come out before then.

 

[Goli]

It's only in NZ because it's already past midnight there, but it'll be released worldwide today as midnight comes in each country, though it is true that it is a test bed, but usually for F2P games that get soft-launched.

 

[wrowa]

Wait did they add Party Chat back in?

Didn't they take that out of the DS release?

Yep, it was taken out back then. So if it's true that they added it back in, they actually put at least some effort into this.

 

[Gloam]

Can't wait to whack some Slomes.

 

[GregLombardi]

Dragon Quest IV is the best one of the series I"ve played. Too bad it has gone Dargon.

I have not played VII. Hi Square Enix, please bring it to 3DS.

 

[Spwn]

It would be odd for a low budget port to have a feature dropped due to budget constraints.

What I'm referring to is that party talk option always gave the message "There's no one to talk to to" when you tried to use it. SE didn't translate any of the party talk dialogue for the western release.

 

[Waylon Drums]

Dargons? Tonight? What a revelaiton!

 

[Stumpokapow]

I'm so sick and tired of these App Store clones of game from REAL gaming platforms. When are Nintendo and Square Enix going to do something to stop these knock-off artists?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

will probably pick it up whenever it's on sale. My ipad has basically become my play-great-games-from-other-systems device, where i've enjoyed Ghost Trick, 999, and TWEWY and have FFTactics waiting for me. I'll happily get what appears to be the best western release of DQIV once i'm not paying a digital arm or leg for it.
