I hope this is a beta verson because Square can't possibly have translated the game this bad. Here are some examples from the start of chapter 2.
"Tsar dictates me not to permit that you are passing."
"Now I must to prepare the edibles. I am hard-working as to buzzing bee."
"Yoy, I am so empty! I hope the time is not lingering until next nourishment."
"But first you must to become beefy by battling nearby to town. I mind that this is intelligent."

I think that's supposed to represent the Russian type kingdom that those characters are living in. It's kind of the same as the kingdom in the first chapter that all spoke with a Scottish accent.

It's like you are supposed to read it with an affected Russian accent in mind.

Ah that explains it. Though personally I think that's a horrible way of trying to portray that they are speaking a different language.

I agree, it just makes things more than a little confusing. Maybe they wanted you to work as hard to try to figure out what they are saying while reading much like you would do when you hear someone speaking with a thick accent?

Who knows but I agree, they should have just kept it a little more legible.

Brings back a lot of memories. I like the 3D look, and the background during battles. Not so sure about the character sprites though. For example, Alena.

Has anyone noticed how they dropped the "IV" from the title for the EU release?

The main Dragon Quest series isn't given numbers in EU. Because VIII was the first of them to ever be officially released there.

Which means EU only has IV and VIII, as of this post.

i aint the n00b you n00b. you wont know what the file is if its in your folder on your comp until you put it in your god dam flash cart. phailz.
dqce = dragon quest yea but you didnt point out the ce. god you guys get pissed off just because you dont label your roms. btw, if you dont add the J, E, or U, how would you know what the rom is? lets say you just downloaded pokemon platinum but you renamed it to pokemon platinum. now the american version comes out and you download that. now you will either have two pokemon platinums with the same file names, overwrite the old one with the new one, or put the J and U/E.

Wait: does that mean you download every version that comes out? I'd like having US games in my cart, but if the european version comes first I usually stick to it, so it's pretty useless for me having a letter after the rom name.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

I am really enjoying this so far, I am 3:51 in and I am really enjoying it. There are a lot of things that I remember from the first time I played DWIV back a long time ago but it feels like a new game.

This is how an RPG should be!
