    Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (DS)

    Came out today at most Gamestops, and I am just curious if anyone picked it up.

    I got out of Dragon Quest back around V, but this looks almost too good to pass up with the customization. I know it will be written well, and it has been getting awesome reviews.

    Anyone get it?

      Man those dudes were annoying, but the game looks fun. I'd buy a ds just to play this. But I won't, since I wouldn't have the time anyway.

        The guy that actually played the game can be annoying, but he was really informative, which is why I posted it.

          I have a DS and would get it but I have loads of games to play and Starcraft II is coming out in 2 weeks. Goodbye time.

            When is the last time you sat down with a time consuming Rpg? Dragon Age? Mass Effect 2? I'm currently craving a JRPG to waste hours on. I have my friend's copy of Star Ocean: The Last Hope but I already hate Lymle (sp?) and I'm more interested in Resonance of Fate.

              Mass Effect 2, but it took me like 3 months to beat it because of sporadic play times. Before that I really got into Dragon Age and put a lot of time into it over the holidays. The timing worked out well, I guess. I haven't completed any of the DLC yet though.

              I bought Resonance of Fate a month ago, but only installed it to the hard drive then put it right back in it's case. Haven't played it yet.


              Star Ocean was fun man. You should stay at it, you'll have enough characters to switch out soon enough.

                It's the voice work that gets me. If I could play the PS3 version with japanese voices I'd probably be good.

                  Resonance of Fate is fun, it can be a bit challenging at first though.

                  I'm thinking about getting the PS3 version, the voices on the 360 make me want to go through the roof. Not only was Lymle annoying but so was Welch as well.

                    At least you didn't have to listen to Welch in battle though, 'kaaaaay?

                    Anyway, back on topic...I wasn't going to get this anyway since I don't have a DS, but I did read the IGN review. Seems they have some concerns about "generic heroes" meaning their character doesn't develop over the course of the plot. I know DQ has never been that much about the storytelling, but hearing that about a JRPG still kind of bothers me.

                      I'll be picking it up at the store when I buy NCAA tomorrow. I've always liked the Dragon Quest series (and the DS remakes of IV and V were a blast).

                      As to when I'll actually get around to play it, however...
