I prefer Reverie. Oh well, the game will still be hot.

Dragon Quest VI Renamed Dragon Quest VI: Realms Of Revelation?

Not a change that bothers me much. It's not like they changed the name to "Realms of Poopy-pants" or anything.

To expect them to name their games something retarded is not far-fetched.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't wait for their newest crossover fighting game, Final Fantasy Versus XIII.Regulus Tera said:

It is kind of weird that the sub-title makes no reference to dreams anymore, though.RurouniZel said:

What if they named it Wii Sports: Dragon Quest?Amir0x said:
The answer is that they would get sued.
Am I the only one who kind of just forgets the subtitles? I definitely don't know IV or V's. I memorized 9's a couple of days before I beat it and 8's is really easy to remember (ish, something about the sky, sea, and land?)

That gets me very excited for Dragon Quest 6. I loved the sidestories in Dragon Quest 7 so much.Aeana said:

VII has had by faaaar the strongest impact on me in terms of scenario and story. I just immediately cared about the world(s) and really loved working through it/them. That hasn't happened with any of the other DQ games I've played (1, 2, 3, most of 4, 8).

I do not care what the subtitle is as long as it is released outside of Japan. I really just want to play it.

That isn't going to be a problem. You'll get to play it in your choice of English, French, German, Italian or Spanish. Not to worry.
Any babysteps toward me being able to finally, legitimately play this game in English are more important than its subtitle. It could be called Realms of Revelation: Reckoning: The Revenge and I'd still be (perhaps overly) hyped for it.
Hard to believe I became aware of this game almost 15 years ago and still haven't touched it*. Jsdfksjfdk!!
*And by touched I mean actually scratching the surface before getting lost amidst a sea of Japanese text. What I played was lovely but confusing. Being able to make sense of all that madness will be a dream come true (hah!).

Seriously... at this point, I don't give a damn what it's called. I just want to play it. Hell, I almost caved and started playing the NoPrgrss SFC version. I know the subtitles are part of the series' charm, though, so I understand that this can be an important aspect to some.Mejilan said:
In the meantime, I've started on DQ8. Maybe by the time I'm done with this...
DQV and VI were games I just didn't feel right playing emulated. I've been tempted to ever since I found out such things were possible but for whatever reason it felt like some sort of grave atrocity. :lol I played through my import of DQV with some help but only made it about a quarter way through DQVI before I just decided to ignore what was happening and enjoy it for its gameplay, but that's when I got kind of lost.
Being a North American Dragon Quest fan has had its share of tribulations. DQV having the rug pulled out from under its localization, the Nintendo localization of DQVI never happening, the DQIV PS1 remake getting canceled despite that teaser on the back of the manual, and watching a lot of the PS2 titles just pass me by were heartbreaking. Thankfully things improved with VII and the GBC remakes of I-III, but it's been slowww.
All I can say is that this is truly a great time to be a Dragon Quest fan. And while I know it's had a sort of mixed reception among the people who played it, DQVI is kind of like a Holy Grail of Games type of thing for me. So needless to say, I need it stat, mediocre subtitle or not.
Really, this feels like soaring through the first part of a race but finding those last several steps, with the finish line in sight, torturous. Blargh.

With the success of DQIX, I doubt it's been dropped.fates said:
I have a feeling that Nintendo might be taking over the release for VI.
Well, the cannibalizing period is pretty much over. I think it's definitely safe to start pushing DQ6.
As for Joker 2... it has a new version, Joker 2 Professional, coming out next year in Japan. If we get it at all, we'll get that one. So there's still time for that. DQ6 is nearing it's one year mark.

I don't care what they use for a subtitle as long as it is localized.

Well, Nintendo SAID it is considering more localisations... I think it's false hope thoughOxx said:

I'm hazarding a guess that they figured DQV flopped because it came out so soon after DQIV, and it might need some space, especially after DQIX. Or, based on Occam's Razor, it's probably more like DQV flopped and since VI isn't nearly as good looking as IX, it might not be worth it.
I hope that's not the case, though. The DS version looks like it's missing the uniqueness from the SFC one, but I would like to play it properly in English.

As far as DQ5 goes, they printed an extremely limited run for it. And that run sold. They really can't complain that it didn't become a million seller because they probably only printed 100,000 units to begin with. If it's stock sold, I imagine they at least got return on investment.
Dragon Quest VI will be their first canceled localization that they formally announced (press release, assets (well, a logo), etc)since the merger. Interesting they'd pick DQ for that honor, but we're no Japan, I guess.

Huh. When did Dragona step down from mod position?

Square-Enix EU != Square-Enix USA.
Also, it almost makes sense for Nintendo to pick up publishing after doing such a good job with IX and Iwata's goal to make Dragon Quest successful in the West.
