DS #3960: Dragon Quest IX: Hoshizora no Mamoribito (Japan)

[mrfatso]

and battle taking a longer time since u can now see them traveling to their enemies instead of the good old slash effect

but other than that, i find it pretty cool, maybe its because i have no idea what the story is, so i get to make up my own story

You should check out the Amazon reviews, seems like over half are giving it 1-3 stars.

There's been a concentrated effort by some a-holes on some website to "review bomb" the game on Amazon.jp

 

[MG4M3R]

Famitsu give it a 40/40.

Is it playable without the touch screen? My daughter kind of completely destroyed mine by applying various kinds of foodstuff on it.

 

[mrfatso]

yup, so far i am playing it with just the d-pad and the buttons.

The stylus is just an alternate control scheme anyway.

 

[elixirdream]

whenever a game with such magnitude is released
it will have lovers and haters

leoboiko,
well is up to you to play with touch screen or d-pad

no worries on that

Ok so when I alchemy stuff, I find it weird it doesn't show previews for items I already made; only for items I have at the moment. For example, if I make a special-cure-herb, then use it, the alchemy screen go back to the "unpublished goods" message (the same one as for items I never made). Is that how it's supposed to be? I was wondering if it isn't some save defect... I'm using an R4 and the Caravan release with the patch from this thread.

 

[mrfatso]

weird, that shouldn't be the case, since i made some junk, they did show up, even if i used them up, they still show in the preview box.

(note that there are 2 receipe that i got at the moment that requires some 1 time items, one is a boss drop and the other is a pan that u found in the dungeon with metal bro/tower)

 

[leoboiko]

Hm, I was afraid so; given that it says "unpublished goods" not "not-holding goods". Perhaps it's really an R4 save bug? Anyone else with R4 reading this would care to confirm? I do experience the abruptly-cut save chime, btw.

 

[mrfatso]

ya, that abruptly cut off chime is not a bug, this is real and its happening to me as well

I dont know if there is something wrong with my rom or anything, but (spoilers) by the time you get to ride the white dragon to fight the black dragon and there is an animation the game crashes... it happened with anyone else? is there a fix for it?

 

[Link5084]

First off theres no use having an English patch because the US version will come soon.

 

[Acenima]

this is a awesome game

 

[eviltaxiSS3]

Hey I have an M3 real and occasionally roms will freeze once in awhile. I tried using RT save(using Xenom's pached rom) but, it won't work. Can anyone help me I don't want to lose like a hour worth of stuff cause of this.

 

[NDStemp]

Nice bump. Did you know that there is an English ROM?

 

[eviltaxiSS3]

ughhh...anyone I just lost like 30 mins of grinding...I can't even play in fear of this happening right now.
