I disagree. I think that almost everyone who owned a PS2 owns a DS.
So, I don't understand why people think this will be way better than DQ8. |
Because...more people will be introduced to the series? I'm pretty sure there's a good amount of people who own a DS but not a PS2 but could buy DQ IX.
|
The DS userbase is, how do I say it...more casual. Casual gamers don't go near RPG unless they are called Final Fantasy or Elder Scrolls. There are hardcore gamers with a DS but there are more casual gamers than hardcore games overall. RPGs in general, are for hardcore gamers anyway.
|
That's because...most of those other RPGs are niche? DQ is far from niche. It may not be popular in the West now but the DS can certainly make the series more popular...with the proper marketing. How many niche RPGs have you seen sell really well on...pretty much any other system?

Don't you know? Pokemon doesn't count!

Well Pokemon is an exception because of how amazing it was as far as design goes.
I mean the battle system is as easy as Paper Rock Scissors for a casual, yet when you give it to an obssessed pro who plays online it's more complicated then nearly any other game out there.
You hardly ever have to worry about equipment or anything if you don't want to... plus the characters range from looking cool to cute.
Really it's a little ball of all things in one. The only way to really not like Pokemon is if you don't like turn based battles or if your one of those types that lets image get to you too much by either seeing that "normal" people like it too or just grow to hate a game no matter how good it is because of it's hype.
