I'll pass because I have been disappointed by most Square-Enix games in the last years. Since Dragon Quest VIII (which wasn't a disappointment) had tons of random encounters, I assume DQ IV won't be any different and currently I can't be bothered to play an RPG where I spend the majority of playtime in battles.

Most JRPGs these days are more about story than battles(Atleast from what I came tell)

 

 

This is a faithful remake of a game almost 20 years old, so I can't see how this applies here...

Sadly I see no video.... don't know why.....


EDIT: oh this game..... uh.... I'll pass.... am having quite a bit of fun with FF4....



4 ≈ One

I have to finally finish VII. But I do want this game. It's also one of the few PS1 games going to the DS (Resident Evil is another). But the PS1 version wasn't localized, so this is a bonus for the DS.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

It is a remake of the Nes game. Considering that the Psx remake never go a english release I must get this one. It is more of a Enix game, so there is still hope. It is pretty hard to screw old school gaming. But you are right about random encounters. Avoid this if don`t have time for a grindfest.

The remake is very  good. I appreciate the renew interface ( the original one is a bit too clumsy ).

Battle are really fast ( you can even set pace of them ). The monster animation and magic are very quick and lovely and many battle last  1 or 2 turn. I finish many normal battle in less than 10 seconds.

It piss me off that people think that DQ8 is the origin of the saga ( because it is the first DQ in Europe ). DQ8 has the slowest battle in al the saga.

This is a great game ( wait until you play the 3rd chapter ).

However the remake contains a prologue and a chapter that weren't in the original one.

There is also a quest to populate an grow your own village that use the DS WiFi capabilities.

In North America yes however I usually take the first inception in any market as "birth" of a game.

Yeah also what is great about the remake is that the interface was redrawn.

Now I'm at the beginning of the 4th chapter after having collect tons of money in the previous chapter

It was released in 1992 in NA, but it was originally released by Enix in 1990 in Japan.
