Well, I buy every KH game in Japanese and English anyway. And I've started to import the Japanese DQ 3DS games, don't worry I have the import console. But PS4 isn't region locked. Tho I think if Heroes does we'll we're safe. So make sure to buy that too.
@Storytime7 I'd say any of the DS remakes are good ways to start off. There's also a fan translated SNES version, of DQ3. That one seems to be Japan's favourite. The original ( 16-bit ver ) never came out in English so feel free to download it or get a JP copy for 3-5 bucks if you must. That won't be in English tho. Then I'd also recommend the PS2 game, 8 or Cursed king.
If you love RPGs, you owe it to yourself to play DQ, all of them. Or as many as you can get your hands on. If it weren't for DQ, we wouldn't have Final Fantasy or anything like it. And RPGs as a whole would have stayed niche on PC only.
It's not gonna be a mobile game, and probably not a 3DS game either. They already said they wanted to bring the next DQ game to consoles and that it wouldn't be online only.
One of the best PS2 games. Somehow tho not every single person in the universe wanna put if on their top 10 lists. I think they've hit something hard in their heads. Even if you didn't like the gameplay, I mean this game was pretty hard, the look of the game alone should make EVERYONE love it!
Why a recent game needs a new translation already is beyond me. If the old translation was so bad why did they even release it? These games shouldn't be so hard to translate when there already translated books and anime to take reference from.
If it's a PS4 game we might see it in the west. You can say good bye to the 3DS games for now unless you own a Japanese 3DS. All of the 3DS titles have been re released as greatest hits versions so you can get the games for 20-25 bucks each. Even less if you buy them used of eBay. You can then complain about not having them in "English" but that's as good as it gets for now.
Anyone who doesn't understand this game is just a filthy casual dude bro gamer. I'm just kidding. You don't have to like it but the game is really funny.
@Cowboysfan-22 Microsoft has literally done nothing trying to sell their consoles in Japan. They don't get the exclusives Japan cares about and anything else is also on PS4/PC. I'm even gonna bet half of those Xboxes sold in Japan were bought by foreigners.
I realize this may be unfair to say but, people say the Vita is dead but at least it's selling more. Heck even the Wii U outsells the Xbox ONE in Japan. They have a lot to learn when it comes to different markets. Like starting over from scratch.
@Tunmats But many people play games with their family and it might be their only chance to do so. Children like these guys shouldn't speak about what's a better x-mas activity.
@JaxonH I bet there's a couple more locked in somewhere at Sony in Japan and in the US. Or in someone's house who worked/works there. But you're not getting those. If he's gonna sell it this might be the only chance to get one ever.
No dub? Good, people need to learn how to appreciate the originals how they were intended. Call me a weaboo all you want. I can't stand dubbed anime. And you shouldn't either. Sure there are good English voice actors, that's not the problem here. It's the culture becoming lost in translation. English isn't my native language, so I have no desire to hear it. Text only is fine, if I need it. Many doors will open if you get over your fear of other languages. Don't be stuck in the mud.
They should just create a controller that looks like a brick and can't easily be broken. That should be a good fit for these brainless brogamers. Oops, I mean "special little angels".
@rjejr I don't know about that, but I know they work for longer periods in one go. I've heard horror stories where the lead devs and directors basically sleep at work and barely have time for eating. Especially those big games that people expect to have soon. Energy drinks sell well in Japan. lol
Not working as a game dev doesn't mean you'll have more time either. It's not a secret or anything that Japanese people work themselves to death. So much that many don't even have time for their families, they'll have time eating dinner with them LATE if they are lucky. Then again, not like the kids have much time anyway with their club activities and extra classes in the evening.
@Matroska PSN accounts these days require you to have a credit card of that region in to add money into your wallet, unless you already have a pre paid voucher. They don't "want" you to import games. But they also wont stop you completely. I think it's for safety.
@Tasuki I knew you could turn it on with the controller, but I had to Google were the "buttons" were located. They favoured design over convenience. I really don't mind big buttons sticking out, at least I know where to find them then and I wont accidentally push them.
Red Bull is worst than drinking alcohol. Tho both can ruin your health if you don't watch it. I remember boys back in elementary school who drank this poison, before they restricted it so only people above the age of 15 can buy it, or any energy drink for that matter. I don't see this helping them get the game's rep back.
@goonow What's so funny? They'll TALK about it, that's the same thing. But that doesn't mean it will come out in 2016. We'll find out what it is, the release date may or may not be at that point set. Unless you work for Nintendo and already know. Which I highly doubt you do.
@KratosMD They are still just rumours based of what people think should happen/what they want. Spreading them will lead "less intelligent" people into thinking they are true and next we have hundreds of videos on Youtube saying "OMG THE WII U IS DEAD!" or "ZELDA WILL MOVE OVER TO THE NX!". Not only is it untrue, it could hurt already bad sales of the Wii U. Nobody gains anything good from that. If we and Nintendo themselves aren't careful the NX could end up even worst.

@rjejr If Heroes PS3 ver didn't make it to the west, don't expect anything else to come. Time to upgrade buddy.
Re: Dragon Quest XI Is Officially Confirmed for PS4
And guess what people. When if it doesn't cone out in English, I think it will but still, you can import it for PS4, no region lock unlike the 3DS.

Whatever, if it eventually ends up on PS4 nobody will care about the Xbox version anyway. lel

Better be PS4.

Re: Square Enix Plans on Showing Old Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae 2.0 Gameplay at Gamescom 2015
It's for those who don't know what's going on. They could tell us when the game will be out. You know. Hope not in another 8 years.

@ShogunRok These games are as popular as Pokémon and have been for a while. Maybe even more so than Pokémon.
Re: Date Your Dream Bird in Hatoful Boyfriend on PS4, Vita
This game is stupid but really funny. Please consider playing it if you like weird visual novels. Or if you just wanna play something VERY different.
Re: This Probably Isn't The Dragon Quest Announcement You Wanted
Just give me a real DQ title. I'm no longer 12 or an obnoxious Youtuber.
Re: The Teen Who Ruined PS4's Christmas Narrowly Avoids Jail

Of course it's a teenager. If these guys were adults with actual jobs they wouldn't have time for this.
