In Japan especially it's pointless - Wii or not who's not going to buy the next main DQ title?

Sadly, most people in America.  Because its not Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts and reviewers will give it a generic 8.5 review because its not a popular series (and on Wii).  Thankfully, DQ is gaining a lot of popularity in Europe.

Also, I love that track too.  Probably my second favorite in the game.  Though Mysterious Tower is also amazing....

OK at this point the whole "on the Wii thing" needs to stop. Reviewers have been giving quality Wii games good reviews. DQ IX has an 87 on Metacritic and DQ VIII has an 89. Those are really good scores for a JRPG, and for one that doesn't evolve much. I don't see DQ X being given generic reviews just because it's on the Wii...

What DQ X sells in the West is dependent on how well the game is marketed, the same with DQ IX.

Personally i would say those review scores are about right. i really enjoyed DQ8, it was an excellent game - and the voice acting for a JRPG was exlemplary....

however i think to get better sales DQ10 will have to improve the battle system. frankly, i think the system is okay, but far too repititive and generic for my taste. the only part of the game that didnt deliever imo.

so i think the sales of the next DQ game will depend on how good the battle system is, as well as advertising and things like that. because its likely a lot of the JRPG fans who play FF know about DQ, but decide not to get it because they think its for kids - a better battle system would change that imo.
