I've been really looking forward to this after watching some streams of it a while back. Can't wait.

Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below review thread

I'm actually not very fond of Musou ( hence the limitation ) , so I think I will go for DQ:Heroes even if I much prefer the One Piece universe.

I think I'll go into Gamestop today and pre-order from them. That looks like the most appealing bonus so far.
I liked, but didn't love Hyrule Warriors. Hopefully this holds my attention a bit longer.

I played this at San Diego Comic Con and beat their demo stage. I was hooked, this game is super fun. Thanks to that I went from this not being on my radar to a must buy,

I heard something about a demo coming to BB/GS kiosks. Has anyone seen it yet?

Might check this out. Would be nice to play a DW game where I don't get all the character names mixed up and kind of understand what is going on in the story.

I think a gaffer played it at GS. In overview trailer thread :
So, I was at Gamestop today and while I was looking around I heard our familiar Dragon Quest tune. Noticed they had a playable demo of Dragon Quest Heroes on their demo unit so I check it out.
Holy shit, the game is awesome. Didn't look too much into this title, but after playing for about 15 minutes I was totally sold. Game looks fantastic too. I immediately went and pre-ordered it, don't want to risk getting a gutted copy.

i was at Frys and played the demo. Haven't been to a Gamestop since the launch of the PS4 and haven't been to a BB in many many months. So unsure there. But I've heard others say they saw the demos out at those places

SE would be smart to put a demo on the store, but they probably won't.
Yeah, there was a demo of it at my Gamestop along with the Ratchet and Clank demo. I've never played a Musou game and I only played one of two areas but I thought it was really fun.

Can someone explain to me the difference between this and that Zelda musou game? I heard they're not entirely alike but I wasn't clear on why.

There's more RPG elements in this game, and you can control a team versus a single character in Hyrule Warriors.

It's at best buy, I was already going to get this, the demo shows how "not a musou" the game is. Getting the game asap on Tuesday
I call it the Japanese AA score tax. Dragon's Dogma is also criminally low on metacritic. Some of the best last-gen games were in that review range of 75-85. Metacritic scores favor big AAA games with tons of hype above all else.
Can you elaborate a bit, you might just push me over the fence to buy :l

You can't go and do the whole 1 Man army thing, you need to be defensive for some stages, place monster coins in specific spots and you'll want to level up. Its more party management than being lu bu and tearing shit up(although you can when revisiting stages, dlc is super hard, also free) if you want to give it a try is advise going to a bb or gs, also this game night show SE we really want dq11 .

This and Dragon Quest Builders are two of my most anticipated games.
SE really must have gotten thirsty when they saw Hyrule Warriors sales. Not going to go as well for them I reckon even if DQH turns out to be the better game they don't have the pure fanservice as Hyrule did and all I can think of now is poor Samurai Warriors, the better game and the best of them all in this genre, Sengoku Basara. Wonder if these games could come close to Hyrule sales if they had the same marketing? Doubt it
I feel you on that. It's a luxury problem. One I'm happy to have but for the different games and those less fortunate I really do wish they had spread them out.
Dragon Quest Heroes, Tales, and Disgaea is killing my wallet

Sounds good, but this will be another "wait until it's cheap" game for me.
Under 20 and then I'll buy.

Reviews are about as good as one could realistically expect for this type of game. Gonna get this at some point unless of course the sequel is confirmed for the west and looks to expand on this one significantly. A game like this with a truly good story would be awesome.

You'll be waiting a long time, dw8complete only recently became $20 and that was a launch title.

And I bet they are IV, V, VI, VIII and IX, same as me. I need to meet Miguel or at least hit him up on Twitter.
I'm not into Muso or anything similar to it but I will give this a try.
Square decided to go on and make one that looks even better than Heroes
Just be aware that those are bullshots.
