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.

graphics look amazing, I was expecting something maybe like FF12 revenant wings, but that looks amazing.  It actually looks like a game made this century.  I like to give my neighbor a bad time about his DS about it looks like Nintendo tried to shrink the snes and make it make 3d games.  I don't know what all those characters are doing on screen though, is it going to be like FF8 where your entire party follows you maybe? and you will probably being using the stylus to manage your inventory by those pics.

Damnit, I think I hate you know.  I am really considering getting a DS to play me some Dragon Quest after seeing those pics.
