I'd be willing to participate online with any and all people who wanted to.  That is, after I fully complete the main single player campaign.  And seeing as how I usually take my time with DQ games...that could take upwards of 150 hours.  Dragon Quest VIII took me 168 hours the first time.  Mostly due to my love of collecting and customizing items.

But seeing as how Dragon Quest IX is a handheld game and they've already said the gameplay is quicker, it probably won't take quite that long.

Also, to enter into the current topic at hand, my favorite Dragon Quest is actually Dragon Quest VIII.  Though I've played them all (aside from VI, which I'll be playing when it comes out here).

I'm the same as well. DQVIII took me almost 150 to complete 100%. Most of that time was leveling up in Howling Mountain (that area acessible with the Godbird), to get my MC to 65. Dragon Soul was an amazing move, but Gigagash was also spectacular. 

Monster Arena was also amazing, but once you got the My Three Golems team, it's pretty much a walk in the park. 

If DQIX is a more westernized DQ game, then it wouldn't be crazy to think that the overall time to completely finish the main quest and get every item will be higher than in previous DQs.
