There is a translation for DQVI that is 99% complete made by noprgress (I finished the game this way).
Great game, deep job system. Although I like more DQV.
EDIT: Search for Noprgress translation for the file

Here's the link if someone wants to play the game.

Goodbye, junior.

 

[manueldelalas]

This is truly megaton worthy.

Where is DQ I ,II and III remake S-E?

I think those are on the GBC.
Good games, but 4, 5 and 6 are far better.

 

[SS4Rob]

I must tell you guys the significance of this announcement.

"It will be significant."

As if the DS needed anymore fire powa in Japan ~ I said Japan will STOP when DQ9 comes out, but with 4/5/6 coming out it'll be like rolling blackouts of productivity over the whole country

Any release dates? Especially US ones? I've always wanted to play VI but never got a chance...

OMGF!!!!11111oneoneone

*Waits for III remake since GBC III doesn't fit in DS*

 

[PolyGone]

let us all pray to the S-E gods that they may release these in english

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

So either they'll be releasing them within a fairly short span of each other, or this could give DS a Dragon Quest each year through 2010?

Why not 7? why stop at 6?

Announcing three at once is surprising enough.

i don't think its that high AT ALL

the gba and ds makes like 90% of the handheld market

If you're counting GBA's lifetime sales, maybe, but it's no 90% on a weekly/monthly/yearly basis now.

I know I should think of FF3 (NA) as FFIV.. but I just can't... so I'll assume that you're not talking about FFIV.

Er, no. "Old FF3" is Final Fantasy VI. Final Fantasy III DS is Final Fantasy III.

 

[angelfly]

I just shed a tear. This is great news.

 

[Aeana]

Why not 7? why stop at 6?

4-6 are a trilogy, so it makes perfect sense.

 

[Error]

respect!

 

[Kafel]

thx Cheesemeister and chris


well, could this announce a delay for DQ IX ?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Yeah.

IV = this winter
V = TBA
VI = TBA

So w8... Japanese Players gets ASH,FF4R,DQ9,DQ4R,ToI all these holyday season ? srsly..

 

[monkeylite]

Why not 7? why stop at 6?

Castle in the Sky trilogy.

I, II and III are remade for GBC, but with the way S-E milks their old games I expect them to be remade soon for PSP or DS in the future.

 

[Tetsuo9]

oh my god I just can't believe it. I love my ds.

 

[Xzbeat]

Looks like S-E needs some quick cash-ins to fund the 2 FF they're developping for the PS3.

 

[Error]

9 wont make it this year probably.

 

[Aeana]

9 wont make it this year probably.

Keep hope alive.

 

[N3al]

Who is developing these?

 

[deadhorse32]

"Remember when we was young everybody used to have these arguments about who's better, PSP or DS? DS won!"

 

[Aeana]

Who is developing these?

It doesn't say, but I'd bet that it's TOSE. They've been in charge of handheld DQ since the beginning (although DQ9 throws things out of whack, a bit).

 

[sugaki]

DQ VI sucked, IMO. Job system comes into the game very late, and it's a pretty lackluster system. DQIII's system was better, IMO.

DQIV was the best DQ made. Period. Best story, best soundtrack. The PS version also let you get Pisalo (dunno his name in English) as a character in the end-game, which was awesome. DQV is also up there for my favorite DQ's. Love getting 'em monsters. For me it's:

IV > V > III > II > I > VII > VI (never played VIII, gave up on JRPGs after VI)

Awesome news though.

 

[RurouniZel]

 

[Flakster99]

This announcement is a throw back to my youth. This news is absolutely huge for me.

 

[Cmagus]

OMFG the best franchise ever just got better

 

[jarrod]

I think I just crapped myself...

 

[Lightning]

Looks like S-E needs some quick cash-ins to fund the 2 FF they're developping for the PS3.

You say that like SE developing FFXIII and Versus XIII on the PS3 is a bad thing. Every game can't go to the Wii/DS you know.

 

[jarrod]

It doesn't say, but I'd bet that it's TOSE. They've been in charge of handheld DQ since the beginning (although DQ9 throws things out of whack, a bit).

TOSE is a good bet but it could also be Matrix (FF3/4 DS, DQ5 PS2).

 

[Dragona Akehi]

This may be the first chance V and VI come stateside too, right? I'd like to give 'em a chance. Heard they were good.

Chances are better than "good".

 

[Jiggy]

respect!

<3 Princess of Critical Hits. One of my favorites in any RPG.

I, II and III are remade for GBC, but with the way S-E milks their old games I expect them to be remade soon for PSP or DS in the future.

I can only hope so. DQI, especially, would probably instantly become at least 30% better if it had visible equipment like DQIX, so you're not staring at the same character doing the same things and looking the same the whole way through.

 

[Flo]

Goodbye, junior.

Whats wrong with translations?

I'm playing Glory of Hercules 3 this way.. I actually own the game, but I play it on my PSP so I can patch a rom which will allow me to play it in English.

 

[neo2046]

Who is developing these?

all 3 are also developed by ArtePiazza
after Chun Soft left, they have been involved in lots of DQ projects
http://www.artepiazza.com/

 

[djtiesto]

HOLY **** YES

Ever since reading Nintendo Power back when I was a kid, and having Nintendo Power hype DQ6 like mad I've wanted to play these Dragon Quest games in english. I don't know why NP hyped DQ6 so much, I swear they gave it like 4 pages of coverage. Maybe it was really close to coming out in NA but never made it.

Anyway. **** YES. DS BEST SYSTEM EVER????????

Yeah, there definitely were plans to release DQ6 in the states, even though Enix's US subsidary shut down in late '95, Nintendo was planning on translating it... don't know why they never did.

 

[Cdammen]

Yes, finally a confirmation and the NDS will sell even more units. Every Japanese citizen will own at least two dual-screened handheld consoles

(EDIT) And **** you S-E if you don't release these games outside of Japan!

 

[Jade Knight 08]

I've never own any of these series but it got my fat attention!!!

Definitely purchased on day one!!!

 

[Colonel Mustard]

You say that like SE developing FFXIII and Versus XIII on the PS3 is a bad thing. Every game can't go to the Wii/DS you know.

He really didn't say that at all. He was implying both of those projects have huge budgets and SE might need more money to fund them.

You don't have to come in to every Wii/DS thread and shit all over everything you know.

 

[Soulhouf]

Where is DQ I ,II and III remake S-E?

Gameboy Color

 

[Teasel]

well as long these remakes have DQVIII pace i'm ok with them
wouldn't it be cool if they didn't have random encounter like DQIX?

 

[Kevtones]

Holy shit

Awesome news

 

[Error]

DQ8 pace?

 

[Aeana]

all 3 are also developed by ArtePiazza
after Chun Soft left, they have been involved in lots of DQ projects
http://www.artepiazza.com/

Arte Piazza is a design studio, they aren't a developer. They did the art for a lot of DQ games, including 4r, 7 and 5r PS2.

After ChunSoft, Heartbeat did the development for 6, 3r, 4r, and 7 and then Matrix did 5r.

 

[Lightning]

He really didn't say that at all. He was implying both of those projects have huge budgets.

I didn't shit over anything and I think this is the first DS thread I have been in on this forum. :lol

 

[Tailzo]

I realised that my money belongs to Square Enix.

my current JRPG games for DS
FFIII
DQ Heroes RS

Upcoming
DQIV
DQV
DQVI
DQIX
FFIV

(and more?)

WOW

 

[NolbertoS]

Day one purchase confirmed, finally I can complete my entire DQ collection going back to the NES days, GBA days, PS1 and 2 days, and now DS days, S-E has made this huge DQ fanboy very happy indeed, DQ rulz.

 

[Suikoguy]

These had better come out here

 

[BobbyRobby]

If this DQ4r comes to America, I will finally be able to forgive Enix for saying that DQ4r was 'coming soon' on the back of the manual for DQ7.

Seriously awesome news.

 

[monkeylite]

(never played VIII, gave up on JRPGs after VI)

Awesome news though.

You really should.

Gameboy Color

I know that, but knowing S-E, they will eventually re-remake DQ 1-3. They are re-remaking DQ V after all.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

You say that like SE developing FFXIII and Versus XIII on the PS3 is a bad thing. Every game can't go to the Wii/DS you know.

Weren't you complaining about "silly fanboys" in another thread?

Something something glass house something stones...nevermind I got nothing.

 

[number1jagsfan]

Really great news!

The amount of SE releases on the DS is astounding.

 

[jarrod]

Arte Piazza is a design studio, they aren't a developer. They did the art for a lot of DQ games, including 4r, 7 and 5r PS2.

After ChunSoft, Heartbeat did the development for 6, 3r, 4r, and 7 and then Matrix did 5r.

Yeah, all Arte Piazza's games have been co-developed (like Innocent Life with MMV)... there's got to be a code house behind this too, like TOSE or Matrix.

 

[Emotions]

This is awesome news with the localizations of Dragon Quest Monster Joker and Swords wich are spin-offs, i'm positive these will also get a localization along with DQ IX .
God so much RPG goodness on the DS specially from S-E.

 

[Teasel]

DQ8 pace?

yeah... battles in old dragon quests go too slow for my taste
"Hero Attacks!"
*flashing animation*
"Slime Receive 3 point of damage"
