King_Slime 12 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hey hey. Just introducing myself before I go crazy on these forums. (Not sure if this post is in the right area.) I'm Slime_King and right now, my current obsession revolves around the upcoming release of Dragon Quest VIII. For those of you who have imported DQVIII from the Land of the Rising Sun, be forewarned that there are numerous changes to the American version of the Squenix #1 RPG. These include the addition of voices, an updated graphical-user interface, and other significant US-friendly adjustments. So if you're still drooling over the Japanese screenshots, you've got another thing coming at you November 15th. Interestingly, Squenix has decided to invest itself in a large-scale online marketing campaign through a fan community. Let me get this out in the open to at least allow you to get a sense of my position and bias: I run the official Square-Enix community for the US Release of Dragon Quest VIII. So judge me as you wish. This is Squenix's first attempt at something this interactive online. The fate of future projects of a similar nature will most likely be dependent on the success of this community. At Slime Knights, you will be challenged to both your wit's and body's end in completing quests that will not only skyrocket you towards prestige but will also garner you tremendous rewards. You will have access to new information directly from the folks at Square-Enix, the #1 RPG company in the world! As a member of the community, you will also earn Mini Medals while helping to promote Dragon Quest VIII and, based on your success rate, you'll have the chance to win some great Dragon Quest VIII prizes. (source: Slime Knights) So yes, the Squenix community site for Dragon Quest VIII is up and running. So fill out your application and help make this game a success! Is anyone else going crazy about this game? I'm trying to play my older Squenix RPGs to hold me over, but no luck. Link to post Share on other sites

Gabo The Stampede 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I signed up as well. There was one thing that bothered me when I was answering the optional questions: no love for the fighting genre of video games. Link to post Share on other sites

magicOgre 0 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 So is this some sort of selective process? Looks like a great idea to get a lot of people interested in Dragon Quest. A "street team" of sorts. I'm down Link to post Share on other sites

King_Slime 12 Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 The site should be opening later this week. We'll be going through applications then. Also, you pick your handle once your application is accepted -- if it is accepted, that is. XD To increase your chances of being accepted, make sure to fill all the entries!

Mettool 60 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 One last question, then i'll shut up. How hard will it be to get accepted? Link to post Share on other sites
magicOgre 0 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 When I signed up I had no idea it was a selective process; it didn't say anywhere. I only knew after it had been submitted. Can I change my application? Link to post Share on other sites
