hope they do a re-release of DQ8 HD on PS4 as well
that was a classic on PS2

Anyway, still a long way to go for the release in 2016

So I expect the JP/chinese version will get patched somehow with these features?
luckily haven't grab it, will wait for the Eng version then

lets hope no censorship like in the past DQ

I was very skeptical on English voice over for all JRPG, IMO most are horrible, until DQVIII, which is top notch
love the heavy accent they used, hope it will be similar for the English ver of XI

dang! physical disc selling for RM179 @ impulse
whereas online still selling RM199

first time seeing physical selling cheaper than online on launch!

oh well, younger gen of gamer are well pampered unlike the older days of us hardcore players with all sorts of near impossible challenges thrown at us yet we still prevails.

games nowadays has lots of quality of life changes, to make it more welcoming to newcomers

auto saving it's a must nowadays, most won't have the patient to go thru the usual DQ classic saving process at church which will take up to a minute where you need to confirm few times
last time it might takes you an hour or more just to find a church to save your progress especially when you're in a new area

well, at least on 3DS you can just close the lid and leave it on standby anytime

last time old gen console where can standby, die die must find a church first before switching off
mom screaming behind while I'm "wait!! wait!! I need to save first!!" for half an hour to find a church

talk about brutal, Famicom/NES's FF3 final dungeon is what I called brutal

zero save point, few steps will trigger a battle, and you'll have to fight 4 difficult bosses first before you can defeat the final boss, which can wipe your team with a single attack

nope, the original FFIII, it was never released in the west for NES, it's released for famicom's short cartridge only, I have to use a converter to play it on my NES
I only managed to beat it after many years on the EN translated version ROM
it's only later 3D remake on DS & other modern platforms, which is easier

Imagine, the whole game is in Jap, with me near zero knowledge in Jap, have to play guessing game by reading few of the kanji
and in the era of internet dark age? Not helping also is the ultimate big boss at home with a rattan breathing down your neck

btw, FF6 is released as FF3 in the west previously
Kefka boss? piece of cake for me as I tends to overleveled my characters, old habits from olden RPG days

that's the part I like about DQ series, some humor there

you can cast zoom almost anywhere, but whether you hit your head on the ceiling or not is another story

too bad they remove this little humor in the latest DQ
