    The only thing that I'll remember about Ichiro is talking shit about Korean baseball.

    @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.

    @Jeffw88: Yeah, but the best teams in the best leagues (European Soccer, American Baseball & Basketball) never take these little world matches seriously. The US beat Spain in soccer recently. The champion of the Europameisterschaft.

    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.

    Still my favorite player not currently on the Mets. The simple fact that he gets 200+ hits a season is awe inspiring.

    2. Dragon Quest IV is my current favorite, but VII is really special to me.
    3. Fallout 3 and KOF XII on the 360, and Brave Story on the PSP.

    Well with those kind of sales, you're bound to get a broad demographic.

    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).

    I'm really excited about DQIX myself. Haven't really played much of the previous games in the series, but 2 million preorders can't be wrong you know? It's cool to see that lots of different people of all ages and professions can really get into this game.
