There is an NPC that shows how many of each monster you have defeated. For every X amount that you kill you earn a mini-medal, but it goes up to a maximum of 999 I think.

Man the combat and switching between party members really is great! You most def need to make use of it early on if you want to win.
Clift is almost always in the party during boss fights now due to his スクルト / skult skill which raises defense. Big help to cut down on damage taken.
Switching between characters is so smooth too and the monster coin system is great. Does help with the levels and such.

Finally got the awards counter unlocked and turned in all the stuff for medals.
This is the reason why I went all digital. The pain of waiting for shipping as an importer was too much. Too much!
It's really weird. I've used them for years and always gotten very predictable results, and now my last two orders from them have been messed up one way or another. I'm gonna have to move on I think. Sadly, I don't know of anyone else who even has the potential to get a game to me on release week. I prefer not to go digital.
NCSX are based in the US so they'd probably be able to do it?

Their shipping is /insanely/ expensive. They're who I used to get Zestiria quickly. Never again.
I'm going with Nin-nin-game.com this time around. I've only used them once, and it was a mixed reaction at first cause they didn't ship right away, i emailed them and they said they were waiting for stock (this was for puyo puyo tetris), even though the they didn't indicate on the product page that it was not in stock. However, as soon as they got stock a few days later, they shipped and it took 2-3 days to get to me. I've never had anything come from overseas that fast... doesn't look like they shipped my DQH yet, so I'll probably email them today.
$85.90 before shipping? yikes. I paid $80 after shipping with nin-nin-game

Its no wonder why you hardly hear their name on GAF.
That's rough. I've had some trouble with orders from them recently. They used to be the go-to for getting stuff quickly even to Ireland.

In regards to the fan noise I think I know what it is. More like where it happens. Its when you are back on the airship. For whatever reason the fans go crazy when the player is there.
Gonna stream for a bit http://www.twitch.tv/kyoufu2011
After 5 hours (level ~14) I have only one thing to say.
Don't ignore quests from the quest counter (unlocked later). Yes, some of them are boring and repetitive if you go out of your way to do them, but the rewards are totally worth it - 15 slot material inventory increase, increase of monster medal slots etc.
The game itself is fun, but yeah, it's more or less a musou as far as the gameplay goes. That said, there are more special attacks than in a regular musou game, monster medal system is a nice addition and character switching on the fly adds a nice dynamic to fights.
I really hope that missions get more varied later - I'm a bit fed up with the tower defense like ones.

That was a lot of fun lol.
Yeah i agree, i completed one few hours ago that extended tension time to 20 seconds, they're super important.

The location variety is pretty astounding in the game. Lots of pretty unique looking maps and zones and the layouts are really good. I got Bianca and Flora last night and lol one of the missions had a room filled with Boss Trolls and Battle Rexes only for the last section. That's just evil.
I just did that one. Probably my favourite one yet.
RIP Dungeonman's PS4.

Ah, so this is why P-A hasn't shipped my copy either. Bummer, I guess all we can do is be patient.
I really like NCSX and sometimes their pricing is really out of whack, as seen with DQH. But I guess timely service can have a premium. I'll probably use NCSX to import DQ Theatrythm.

It most def has something to do with DQ Heroes as for example like God Eater does not set the fans into overdrive like this.
Kinda odd something must not be optimized correctly since this ps4 is one of the more recent models brand new straight from sony.
i just noticed yangus is missing from the cover of the game either that or am not looking hard enough.
Just watch the recordings. lol
NEVER!
All I really needed to know that it was a little bit like Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll, and that seems to be the case.

its so awesome how you can use juilette to cast bagi first then that burning bird (forgot the actual name) attack creating flaming tornados of doom lol

This game is really great guys. Like it better than Hyrule Warriors. The art style and music are fantastic. Homiron's voice is annoying. He sounds like a whiny young child.

Whoop! Play-Asia finally shipped my copy!
Homirion sounds like a regular mascot character. Mia's voice is way more annoying.
Played Dragon Quest Heroes for the first time tonight. This has to be the slowest-paced musou game, in terms of getting all the various game play elements, that I've ever played. It took a solid hour for all of the mechanics to be introduced and initially I was pretty bored with the game. You start out killing a few enemy types with a very limited moveset and then mindlessly slash away at a dragon boss after a few levels. But as various systems started getting introduced, things got a lot more fun.
Visually the game is impressive in that there can be a large amount of characters on screen with minimal frame rate drops and no enemy pop-in, but the environments I've played in have all been pretty small in scale so far. One level was a giant open field with a large hill. There's a lot of attention to detail, like cloth moving in the background and even enemies relaxing when they're out of range, but the game still reminds me a lot of an "uprezzed PS3 game."
I'm liking this game right now, but I was definitely more impressed with Hyrule Warriors in comparison and so far Hyrule Warriors has this game beat in terms of boss battles and Sengoku Musou 4-II has it beat in terms of speed and the overall amount of enemies to fight at one time. I also miss being able to run or summon a horse. The characters in DQH move just a bit too slow. Maybe another mechanic will be introduced for this?
Yes they did- I ordered it from Play-Asia as well and my copy arrived today. I pre-ordered months ago...did you pre-order it recently? I've been noticing that with the real popular games, if I order close to release, I often don't get in on the first shipment. Maybe that's what happened here.

Is it slower than that TROY game? please tell me no, because that was a game too slow for me to play.
I preordered long ago. Sometime last year. Did you get the PS3 version or the PS4 version?
Never played the Troy game, sorry.
PS4. I wonder if there was a cut-off on first shipments that you missed or if they just didn't get as many copies in as they expected. What happened to you has definitely happened to me before with Play-Asia more than once. It always sucks when a game doesn't arrive in time for the weekend.
Almost all the Koei musou games are like that...they just have faster movement speeds.
TBH my initial thoughts were that this game was like "Babby's first musou" with how slow and simple it was after a short amount of play time. No other musou game I can think of takes this long to actually get going. Too much tutorial stuff here. I can see why they did it, though.

Keep it that way, its probably imo THE WORST MUSOU, ever. hell i'd take DW6 again over playing TROY anyday.
