I want a 3DS remake of three or four, don't remember which it was I loved on the gameboy advance, pretty sure it was three.

If we get a DQ8 remake down the line I will be VERY happy.
That game is fantastic and a portable version would be bliss.

Journey of the Cursed King would interest me more IMO. Though I did miss out on this one.

And 9 was only a tag system anyway, it wasn't multiplayer at all. I played the entire game and yes, it's a freaking RPG, there does not need to be any online components at all.

9 was fully multiplayer. There was almost none of the game that couldn't be played in multiplayer.

I fucking with I had a 3DS now. I love DQVII, my favorite of all the games so far. I easily had a save at 100+ hours, and I still to this day haven't finished the game... I want to, one day.

DQ VII is actually the most successful one in Japan.
I hear it is infamously long but I expect they will address the major grinding issues the game had.

Definitely looking forward to this one, no mistake.

reminds me of ff12.

where there's dq there must be ds. I never found a dq game to be boring so this is always welcome.

I for one love the Dragon Quest series and I really want them to port DQ8 to the 3DS so....
I'm gonna buy this.... I'm gonna buy this like it's pharmaceutical grade cocaine and I'm an hard core coke addict!

Oh my gawd!! I can't wait for this!!

Regardless, it's still a single player game first, just because you can play with friends doesn't change the core of the game. I finished the main story by myself, though I never completed the post game of finding all the treasure maps and dungeons.

I put a lot of hours into IX, I enjoyed it a lot. And yes it did have multi-player. It wasn't necessary by any means to play in multi-player, but I did connect with one of my friends and play some co-op. In addition I also gave him one of my maps that had a level where every enemy encounter included liquid metal slimes. So yes it had a tag mode, but it also had multi-player, and while I believe it was local multi-player only, it was quite fun. I helped my friend progress in his game and level quicker after I had already beaten it. I also like how it tried to continue to be interesting even after beating the main story by providing randomly created maps.

I think this was a great way to go with a portable system. You're not always going to be around wifi to play a some sort of online only multi-player game, but having a single player game with an optional multi-player feature is nice. I do hope the next one lets you play with friends via wi-fi though. I also did not like the fact that it did not have multiple saves, and hope the next DQ game fixes that.

I would have stopped two or three hundred hours earlier if it weren't for multiplayer.

Considering 10 is going to be for the Wii and Wii U, any hopes of offline play are now dashed with my post. I honestly don't like the whole notion of taking a traditional RPG and turning it into effectively the same type of thing Square Enix has done to Final Fantasy with an MMO. And Final Fantasy as an MMO has been a colossal failure in comparison to other games like Guild Wars, WoW and Star Wars: The Old Republic just due to the sheer number of bugs and poor design decisions.

Been wondering that myself, it's been out in Japan for 9 months or so and they haven't even announced a release date for it in other locations. They know people want it too.

For this, I might consider getting a 3DS.. Looking good!
