Why do people think DQIX will sell monumentally better than VIII?

Yeah the demo was nothing compared to the actual game but it was worth $50 to play it and DQ8 actually turned out to be quite enjoyable. That is why I am strongly considering getting a DS just for 9 even though I already have a psp and don't play it enough or want to spend the money to play the games that are interesting to me.

btw, have we even seen any screen shots to dq9 yet? know anything about how it will play on the ds? because they seem to really like the cell shaded look that they gave 8 and it was popular and they used it in the wii game with a really long name.

 

2d sprites= Win I hope the gameplay is just as good as DQVIII's , but having a better story. Also it should lay off a little on the grinding. I think they are going to add some nice touch controls to compensate for the graphics being downgraded. I've only played VIII, but I'm going to get all of the DS remakes, and IX.

You are going to be in for a big disappointment if you think the story is going to be much better.  The DQ games have never had great stories.  I don't know that for sure though since the only DQ game I played was VIII.
