    In reply to Dragon Quest VI DS Dated For Japan
    I heard that IV, V, and VI make some sort of trilogy. Do I need to play the others first before I give this one a shot? #dragonquest

    @krushjudgement: You don't have to. It's more like a common theme, with recurring names, weapons and such. The stories however can completely be enjoyed on their own. If you want to try one, play the Dragon Quest V remake for the DS. It's considered one of the best and since it was released in February you might find it cheap. Or at least used. #dragonquest

    @amadeus3000: @krushjudgement: Agreed, just as I, II, and III form a trilogy but can also be enjoyed separately. I too would recommend V over IV, simply because of the "party conversation" button. I like my traditional RPGs to be narrative-driven (God knows turn-based battles aren't exactly exciting and innovative), and I found it to be a wonderful addition for both character development and entertainment.

    IV is quite good as well, as it tells its story in a unique chapter system, but lacks the character depth and plot twists that V has. #dragonquest

    @krushjudgement: While DQV is the superior game and is really transcended by Arte Piazza's skillful remake, I would still consider playing through DQIV. Very old school, but still surprisingly refreshing and original at times (like the Torneko chapter where you play a merchant).

    @krushjudgement: FYI, it might be kind of hard to find DQ V since it looks like Square Enix was sitting on a bunch of unsold copies of DQ IV and they only made a limited amount of DQ V. Ebay or maybe a used copy at Gamestop is probably your best choice. Places like Amazon have been sold out for several months, I did manage to snag one off Buy.com a couple months back however. #dragonquest

    @Alex Kim: To be honest. Koren baseball doesn't really hold up to Japanese Baseball just like Japanese baseball doesn't hold a candle to our baseball here in the States. Korea was just pissed that they lost the WBC to Japan this year. Ohhh and before you start talking about the United States and the WBC... remember we don't take it seriously.

    Not that I'm defending Ichiro... but his team did beat Korea... just saying.

    @Balance_In_Life:
    By that logic, USA lost to both Japan and Korea. So your statement is invalid. And of course they don't take it seriously. Even though they created the whole world baseball series.

    This is just how USA is, they shit talk about how great/expansive their members/teams are and apparently that justify their shitty games on the world series.

    Just like how USA NBA is. They don't even go to top 3 in world event like olympic, even though NBA USA have most expansive players in the world.

    Money =/= skills. It's just a world marketing.

    Everyone should do themselves a favor and check out some Ichiro quotes.

    [100percentinjuryrate.blogspot.com]

    "To be able to get three [first-inning] runs like that I'm sure allowed us to give our opponents major mental damage."

    In that video...the interviewer and his staff presented two homemade DQ9 strategy guides to Ichiro....one for "what to do when you've beaten the lost boss, completed the story, and you don't know what to do next." And one containing a list and location of all the treasure maps.

    And man, I've always been a fan of Ichiro's style....but he is wearing something mighty funky in that video.

    Anyone who's never played any DQ, but likes old school RPGs should try DQ8 for sure. If you have a DS I hear that 4 & 5 are some of the best games in the series. My feelings toward 9 are interested but not blown away, DQ8 blew me away.

    Thats cool. Do see a lot of folks playing on the train too. At times even in restaurants around lunch break.

    Plus if you do the mode to search for other players character data you usually can obtain a good number when you go around Tokyo or ride the train.

    Am wondering what the sales numbers are up to now.

    @elmorepow: Yeah I do have it around 100 hrs around 1800 battles. It is a bit easy but the boss fights in the "treasure map" dungeons are brutal.

    So not quite too sure what square enix meant when they said the game was "harder" when its not. Besides for the unbalanced boss fights in relation to the lv range represented on the treasure map(s).
