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

What I wouldn't give for an English option...

 

yay it's out

wooot happy

 

I'm looking forward to the anti-piracy features on this one.
Hopefully we can crack them soon, and SE uses the same protection on the USA/EU versions.
Then we already know the solution.

 

Awesome, of course I won't really play it til the us version comes out, but it will still be cool to see how it looks.

 

Am I wrong or the whole Dragon Quest series are only allowed to have their relase date during weekends in Japan?

 

This'll have some severe copy protection. I've never been a Dragon Quest fan, but I have to say I never gave it enough of a chance to learn what the appeal is. I guess I'll give this game a try.

 

Cue Japan exploding in 3...2...1...

I wonder how long the copy protection will hold up?

 

The actual release date is supposed to be on the 11th, which is a Saturday, so it still carries the released on weekend rule.

Or it's SUPPOSED to, but you know the internet.

 

What's with the early dumps of Square games recently? We got Kingdom Hearts a day early and now this like 3 days early.

 

confirm with anti piracy check

meanwhile it works on no$
fails on ideas and desmume

flash cart should have the same fate

 

As a warning, for those wanting to get the game early.

 

do you want more pictures?

 

as a die hard DQ fan this picture is spoilers enough for me...

 

wow that was fast!!! can't w8t to try it!!

 

Great stuff, Will wait for an english version though. Waits for the screams of "omgz i finks i jus briked my DS wid a rom off the interwebz"

 

I am going to love that.

 

hahahaha
i am going back to have some fun with the game

 

And I just finished playing DQ IV

 

I have got to quit downloading these Japanese games. It makes the wait for English that much more agonizing!!! Looks incredibly great btw!
