Yes, the game is extremely long. The other thing you'll have to see for yourself. 7's real selling point, in my opinion, is its writing. Like other DQs, each town in 7 tends to come with its own vignette. Unlike other DQs, 7's vignettes are set up as the main focus of the story, and they receive a correspondingly higher degree of emphasis and care. Some of them are exceptionally well-realized. The game has an addictive structure because every time you resolve one town's problems, you're desperate to (1) check back in on the town, (2) use your new key items to figure out where the next town is, and (3) visit the new town and see what kind of trouble they're in.
The music is great too. It's one of my favorite DQ games.

The fuck?
Well, I'd love to see a FFVI remake with BDFF-quality graphics.
I would buy a 3DS for this.

See, with Bravely Deafult out of the way, Square Enix is finally free to announce more 3DS games! NOW GIVE ME FFV AND FFTA3!
They must have been working on this game for a long time now (rumor dates from one year ago, full 3D remake, out in 4 months).

Of all announcements SE has made, why would you use that line on this one which is an awesome announcement?

Considering all the main line DQ remakes have been so far I don't see why this one would be skipped.
Square Enix being stubborn lately, I suppose.
Hope they add another character to the the crew.
You spend most of the game with a party of three when you can have four. It's weird.
Considering that DQ6 took for fucking ever, and I am told that Nintendo itself had to publish it in the end, and it didn't make a huge splash in the market, I am reasonably nervous.

It's up in the air, I imagine. Rumor is that DQVI was cancelled for localization by Square-Enix until Nintendo intervened and DQMJ2 did laughably poor numbers. Both Slime Mori Mori and Terry's Wonderland have stayed exclusive to Japan, as well. While those aren't mainline DQs, it does show that seemingly both Nintendo and Square-Enix seem to be uninterested in building the brand here again.
so...now we have finished the leaks of that (in)famous list, haven't we?

whoo! Maybe I can hold off playing the PS1 copy then

Good news for the fans. I've got enough of DQ and IX will be my last in the series.
So, 4 to 7 will be playable on 3DS when this is released. They may release VIII after that, it should be an easy port (not expecting a full remake like VII, it's not likely considering what they did for the DS versions). If they release DQ1-3 on Virtual Console, all the main series will be playable on 1 console (outside of X), which is great news overall.

Normally jump leaks on Wednesday, but it did in fact leak today as the newest chapters for the various Jump manga have been released.

Awesome! Provided it comes out here...
Recently I decided to buy all the DQ games to play them in order, but I didn't spring for VII:
Looks like I made the right call!

If it continues square's trend in europe, not in Spanish or Italian it seems. I hope Nintendo stops this square not translating madness, they can go and fuck them in the ass, we are not in the 90's anymore.
This one wasn't part of that rumor list.
I don't think it was on that list.
It was from somewhere else. Creamsugar tweeted about it, but I don't know if that was the primary source.
Edit: Well, at least I put a link. =P

The screens make it look like the V remake for PS2. That's okay, I guess. Definitely need to see it in motion and see what they do with the camera.
Just take it with you.

It's a shame that this question even has to be asked. Maybe Nintendo will have mercy on us again if S-E isn't willing (yeah right).
Anyways, I'm interested to see how this remake is handled. After all, DQVII is, er, quite a bit of game.
Like the hat?

So pleased. Hope it comes to the US. It's the only mainline DQ game that I don't own, and yet the one I want to play the most, heh.
This one? It didn't include the 7th JRPG rumor, but it's pretty crazy that nearly all rumors have been spot-on.
Except MHP3rd HD Vita lol
Edit: slow
February? Wow, Nintendo is really making sure everything they can stays quite until they're close to release now.
I guess that answers the questions Nirolak and Kagari have been having, if companies like S-E have anything planned for the 3DS you really won't find out until a quarter or so beforehand when it comes to most games anymore.
I definitely won't in this case. Being 3D might get me to try this game again.

I'd say its a pretty safe bet for Europe at least Nintendo gave 9 a big push here and it sold pretty well
Skipping over both V and VI? That seems fairly unlikely.
Let's hope Nintendo does the job.

Not if square doesnt want to translate them to the 5 typical european laguages. Nintendo refuses to distribute in europe any game that doesnt come tranlated in PAL-5. Thats what happened with Kingdom hearts 3D and FF Theatrhytm.

Holy shit. Not at the announcement but February?! Every other system on blast this spring DQ7 and MH4 within a month....holy shit.
I imported an NTSC version of DQVII about 18 months ago (I'm British) and as a whole was impressed by the game, it sits behind V as my 2nd favourite DQ game (I have still yet to play VI and VIII though). I will definitely double dip on this as long as it gets a PAL localisation
I'm glad this game is coming because its really expensive and SE better bring it to the west. I'm kinda expecting them to give a try due to how well IX did but I could be disappointed.
Jump usually leaks the monday/tuesday of the week prior to release due to bookstore/bookstand owners taking a peak as soon as their shipments arrive.

The 3D is pretty high effort this time around judging by the scan.
