  • Dragon Quest 9 - July 11th 2010

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Being a very large fan of Dragon Quest 4 and 5, I am very excited =)

It looks like it's going to be very good, and only 7 morre weeks to wait =)



This one features:

* Akira Toriyama art (obviously). Developed by Level 5, published by Enix.

* A customizable main character, gender, hair, clothing, skin tone, etc... Features such as skin tones, clothing, etc.. change throughout the game.

* Six starting classes: soldier, warrior, magic user, priest, thief, and gypsy (travelling performer class in English) with additional classes that can be learned later.

* Skill points, which work similarly to AP in FF8 and FFT.

* Earthbound style encounter system; that means not random, you can see the enemies on the map - and they behave accordingly according to your power; unlike Chrono Trigger's fixed encounter system, or random enemies that will chase you down regardless of their power vs yours. In other words, you can explore old locations without having to worry about encounters if you wish.

* Wireless Co-op mode.
