OMG! A Dragon Quest on DS that isn't a remake..

/smugremark

Seems interesting enough, though I'm not buying a $40 dollar DS game.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Also here are some new screens

I can't wait for this game. Looks like they really went all out.



I'll use claws most likely...

I'll probably stick to warrior as well the first time around.

On a side note, I have a question. Besides the hero, are the other characters story characters that can have their classes changed like DQVII, or are they created generic characters like DQIII?



Sound good but I better wait for the release in Japan to decide.



I'm worried a little about the platform of choice... But as of now the game seems great and worthy of the DQ series, i'll wait till the J-release to look a little more into it...



Sword Fighter for me.

Also, Slime Knight ftw.



I am Washu-bot B, loyal servant of Final-Fan, the greatest scientific genius in the universe!


I dislike classes in DQ game, but it is too late to start hating the game.
