I got my wish! The soundtrack will be even more marvelous now. I hope SugiyamaÂ directs and conducts per usual.Â

Having played the game, the only thing I don't get is the subtitle.Â

Cool news! This was my first DQ game (I knew it as Dragon Warrior), and it really broadened my RPG horizons away from just Final Fantasy. I went on to love DQVIII, and came back and beat this one properly.Â

The graphical overhaul looks great. I wonder if they'll remix the music, too. Someday, when I have a 3DS, I'll buy this and the other 20 games I want.Â

How dare they tease FFVII lovers like that, though...

*Mourns over depleted hope of FF7 Remake*

Anyways, bring it over Square and I'll get excited. Bravely Default too while you're at it. :)

Didn't own that specific episode yet (even pondered importing Dragon Warrior VII at some point).

Now at least here's a good chance of the game finally reaching PAL territories. That little screenshot up there seems to indicate a considerable graphical overhaul (at least a departure from the mixture of 3D environments with 2D sprites on top of the original VII as well as the DS versions of IV, V and VI). I certainly hope that Square Enix will pull all stops in terms of eye candy, like they clearly did with Bravely Default.( Edited 30.10.2012 22:33 by RudyC3 )
