Anyone going to import Dragon Quest Builders?

I'm probably gonna import it, yeah. Just undecided whether I'll go Vita or PS4.

If you dont want to go blind Id suggest PS4.

This is from someone who put like 10+ hours into the demo on the Vita.

Am curious how remote play is with it though. Didnt bother to try that out.

In other news the OT would most likely be going up late tomorrow night. Am still entertaining guests and other scheduling issues. So in the mean time you bunch of maniacs just keep on using this thread. I got to be up at 0600 so cant do the usual all nighter when completing the OT.

To celebrate the release of Dragon Quest Builders, a video game that combines Minecraft’s world-building with Dragon Quest’s characters and setting, a massive mural made out of 180,000 Lego bricks has been erected inside the station

And the ad campaign doesn’t end there: Starting at 7:00 a.m. on January 28, anyone is welcome to come down and remove a block from the mural, slowly but surely revealing a secret poster hidden behind the bricks. You can even take the bricks you remove home with you, and some of them have a special QR code on them for exclusive downloads

if this was in America, the blocks would be gone in the first hour and up on eBay the 2nd hour
 
I got to the part in the demo where you need to build up to Level 2. This game is just adorable. My only complaints so far are no auto-swing and getting lost behind the scenery is way too easy.

But looking at those store prices, ¥8000 for this? Are prices going up in Japan?

No.
Pretty normal. DQVIII was 8800 yen before tax.
Games in Japan have variable prices unlike the US where pretty much everything on a console will be 60 bucks.
 
Have this pre-ordered and preloaded. Now just waiting for the game to unlock tomorrow morning. The demo confirmed everything I was hoping for since the reveal trailer. Can't wait to finally dive in without the limitations of the demo.

Have a very, very limited understanding of Japanese, but didn't really have any issues with the quests or navigating the menu's. Tomorrow can't come soon enough!

Dude you gotta let us know how the full game is. I ordered mine from play-asia, rush delivery, but that'll still probably take a few days to get overseas.

I can't read Japanese either, but there's no way I can wait months on end for a localization. It's too awesome!
 
I really liked the demo, but in the end i got stuck when a guy in the camp asked me to build a hammer. I think he wants an hammer because it shows a little picture of that when he talks, but i have no idea how to make it. Maybe i should level up the camp further to unlock new recipes?
Had fun with the demo but i don't think i'm going to import it though, not right now at least. I'll wait to see if an english version is coming.

Hammer was end of demo man.
 
Payment for my copy came last night which means it shoudl be shipping to me soon. In retrospect, I should have bought a digital download version but oh well!

Hopefully lack of OT just means that you got busy with the RL stuff! Let us know that you're okay!

Compared to the demo it seems like there's quite a contrast what you can build at chapter 1 :D

Wha-a-a-a-t? That's incredible looking. Will to resist importing... decreasing.
 
I imagine quite a bit opens up once you get stone.
Wish there was better camera controls in this game though.

I'm curious to see how the camera works underground when you can actually dig lower than the demo let you. I imagine it'll also be easier once you can chop down trees clearing areas out.

My order just shipped so hopefully it comes quickly.

You can kind of go first person underground.

it works but trying to target specific blocks can be a pain

Is there a way to destroy single blocks?
I found in the demo there was a number of times where I just wanted to destroy one block, but because of the wide swing it would always destroy the blocks next to it too.

not really it seems fists is a little better as has a small arc but only works on dirt related blocks
 
I wish you could just load your save from the trial version and carry on from that in the retail version.

Yeah its a bit odd. The only thing I can imagine causing this is that the demo version is a different build from the retail one.
