Dragon Quest VII Remake Differences?
Instant Radical replied to Sackchief's topic in Dragon Quest VII 3DS
Yep, no FMVs in the 3DS version, cutscenes are all rendered in-game and look so much better than in the original. -
It's happening! There's not much on the site yet, but you can see it here: http://www.dragonquest.jp/dqm2/# I loved the first remake, I'll be picking this up as soon as it comes out. Kind of a bummer for the non-Japan residents/Japanese readers that it doesn't seem like Terry 3DS is getting an English translation.

Do you think DQ I-II-III needs remake?
Instant Radical replied to knighTeen87's topic in General Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior
I'd like DS remakes that use the IV-V-VI engine. Really, I'd be happy if they just did III. I'm sure a remake is on its way eventually, since it's one of the most popular games in the series. -
Ehh, who cares. I live in Japan and could theoretically get all of these things but I doubt it's worth the effort. The game as-is is already great, I've never bought into this manufactured need to have all these preorder DLC exclusive thingies to enjoy the game. That's probably one reason I never liked IX very much, come to think of it.

What's the best game in the DW series?
Instant Radical replied to Esturk's topic in General Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior
Okay, I'm going to try to rank them. 1. Dragon Quest VII - This game is huge, in every way. I could write about how I love the characters, the rebuild-the-world mechanic, the absurdly unbalanced class system, or its insane length, but I'll just say that what really keeps me coming back to this game is the story. The overarching story is pretty standard, but I love the standalone stories of the individual towns/islands. I think they have some of the best writing in the whole series. 2. Dragon Quest V - Best overall story, awesome characters and gameplay. Mildrath/Nimzo isn't a te -
I always think of games like this as giving a sort of "compressed" view of the world: like there are other towns and more places in the world that you never visit because they're not important for the scope of the game. It's kind of like being given a limited amount of pages for a biography and trying to decide what facts about the person you need to tell the story, and omitting the parts that aren't important. Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is a game like this (there's only one human city and one town in the whole world! Really?) In this sense, DQV is like a biography of Pankraz's son.

Nera Unknowingly Spoils the Plot
Instant Radical replied to JessicaAlbert13's topic in Dragon Quest IV, V and VI DS
Nera's always been my favorite wife choice. I think she's the most intelligent of the three (which would make sense, considering her education), like when you talk to the Psarologist guy in Coburg. Bianca says something like, "Sounds purdy complicated to me!" while Nera says something smart and observational about the dude. She has a lot of good party talk stuff to say, in general. Plus she's pretty, sweet, compassionate, and loving - what more could you ask for in a wife?? She talks like she's weak and useless, but she doesn't give herself enough credit - she makes a great spellcaster la- 35 replies

Terry’s Wonderland 3D
Instant Radical replied to XyferDragon's topic in Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior Monsters
What really frustrates me is how a lot of the DLC content for Terry's Wonderland was limited to Japanese convenience stores or McDonalds. This wouldn't be a problem since convenient stores are everywhere, but it seems like only ones in TOKYO have the wireless network. This means that people living everywhere else in Japan (me) are basically screwed if we want monsters like Dimensaur. Very annoying. -
Just curious...........what do yall look like?
Instant Radical replied to DJ BlackJack's topic in General Chit-Chat
In before people starting shipping Dwaine and Jess. Single here, but if you want to get me you'll have to travel to the frozen reaches of Japan and pry me away from the many lovely girls we have here... good luck. -
DQ Wonders Found on YouTube
Instant Radical replied to Dwaine's topic in General Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior
The DQ3 video is talking about how hundreds of kids skipped school to go buy the game. I really like the part where people duck their faces around the TV camera. So Japanese! -

Great outfit Dragon Chaser, I like how the snow makes your slime companions look all glowy. -
Terry’s Wonderland 3D
Instant Radical replied to XyferDragon's topic in Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior Monsters
YES! Haha, that's exactly why I sold my TV. I've put in about thirty hours of gameplay so far with Terry 3D. Haven't gotten Slime Mori Mori yet, but probably will. I bought this system pretty much just for Terry 3D, but there are some other games I want to play. I had no idea that there was region lockout on this when the DS didn't have it. If I didn't know Japanese I would have been seriously pissed when I fired up my system and discovered I couldn't change the language. I thought about getting the bundle but it cost over $250. I got a like-new used system for just $100, much b
