I'm pretty hyped to see this new translation that combines a more modern feel with some of the older names that I grew up with. I've yet to buy a game for any mobile device but you better believe that Dragon Quest will be the first. I'm checking the Google Play store like a madman haha. The nostalgia in this is absolutely massive for me. It also helps that DQI is a perfect fit for mobile. Short, by today's standards but still plenty of substance. I wasn't a fan of the gbc translations but I was still happy that they existed for us outside of Japan. Thanks to the poster who linked that video of how it looks and sounds. Looks really solid.
I really wish the series was more prominent outside of Japan but I guess for fans like us, these days, this is what we'll have to cope with. Short of learning Japanese.
EDIT:
No way in hell is Dragon Quest III "bottom tier" in the series. It's one of the best jrpgs of all time. The improvement over I and II cannot be stated enough. Introduced a world that was utterly massive in scope for its time, the 4 character party system with the job system, the day/night cycle (That still is not used enough or as well in other games to this day.) And a great cap to the first trilogy. It's basically my favorite game of all time, and in a perfect world I'd see Square-Enix remaking the first 3 games in the mold of DQVIII. It'd be the best remake compilation ever...
At the end of the day, I hope these versions can introduce new fans to the series and they can enjoy the games as much as I have.
