It kind of fooled me until I saw the main guy with his hand reaching out and he didn't have fingers like his CG counterpart.

I'm not sure, but the game's contents are installed to USB memory and a channel is installed on the Wii for launching.

Fish girl is best girl.
Thanks for the info. Googled it a bit, seems the game comes in two (normal?) discs, interesting...
BTW, the stream is BACK!

That looks really good for a Wii title. Here's hoping it makes it's way Westward.
Would it be blasphemy at this point to get some new blood in the music department? Maybe take off some of Sugiyama's workload off and just have him make a few tracks.
They did with Dragon Quest Swords, with Manami Matsumae composing most of the tracks.

DQ game not launching on the weekend??? :O WHAT ABOUT JAPANESE LAW!
The big Wii U logo is still present on the official website.
It's an MMO; the Japanese government has just accepted that millions will never work again, and so lifted the weekend restriction.
There's no law. There never was a law.
The Japanese government made a recommendation, and Enix complied because they had no reason not to. But they can release DQ games whenever they want.

Both discs are install discs. All data is installed onto the USB memory device. Takes a while. Around 30-40 minutes actually.
Went and ordered the component cables for the Wii since with the vanilla ones the game looks like ass for some reason... Interesting that you play an offline mode before start the online.
DQ7 was released on a weekend during the summer vacation of 2000.
All that summer vacation homework not being worked on though, lol.

had to fish out my niconico password for this but the game looks great
The offline mode is a tutorial/prologue.

I seriously think its a nod to Mario / Nintendo since he does on occasion hold his fist straight out into the air like mario when he jumps.
Which is what Im going through now. Semi on / off since taking care of other stuff on the PC at the same time. Hopefully it will end soon. Since want to start on my real character.
I just went to the store and saw that Dragon Quest keyboard. Anybody pick that up? If I wasn't waiting for the Wii U version, I would have!
I like how the number pad is in roman numerals.
Also, edition with USB pack in is sold out, but both game and USB stick separate are available.

I guess its easier for people to just buy the all in one deal, since most normal folks dont have USB drives. Then again that extra drive has a slight mark up in comparison to other cheaper brands. But yeah anyways main point being totally the convenience of having it all together.

It seems most people are playing as fishmen, I didn't see as many players on the country of pink people.
Also, this game was made to be played with the GamePad, shortcuts will become very handy.

Japan!
Sugiyama's music has been declining since the SNES games anyway. It's clear that his well of inspiration has completely run dry by now.
I think his DQ7 soundtrack was great, especially the symphonic version. But after that, yeah, he's been on a decline.

Am sure it would be much appreciated and give those who are playing a place to discuss whats going on.

This should have been the pack-in thumb drive:
Agreed, at least that one seems to be worth the extra bit of cash thrown out for the thing. Plus am sure the fans would have loved it more than just a standard white drive with slime print on it.
If the offline portion of combat is exactly the same as online its interesting how you can actually impede enemy movement towards healers / casters by pushing against them in battle. Might be one of the few mmos that allow for this. Quite interesting really and could see it making things a bit more tactical with how you work with a party in combat.
Just wouldn't feel right if you didn't make it.
It wouldn't feel right to make an OT for a game I can't play, though.
I'm really unhappy about this situation with the game. I know there are things to try to get around it, but I don't know if they'll even work. Someone else I know is getting it anyway and I guess she'll let me know how it goes.
Well, you could try reading a couple of posts in the thread. There are three people in here who are actually playing it so far.
There was not going to be an OT if nobody was playing.
