Dragon Quest IX...

[NeoCracker]

Their making another bloody Dragon Quest already? I still haven't beat I-VIII yet. Way to go adding to my list of unfinished games Square.

Your complaining about a DQIX "already" being made - the rate DQ games are made is slow compared to FF games. DQ started before FF ever came out(by like a year or two), but FF is working on it's 13th entry and DQ is only on its 9th. If anything I'd be complaining about not getting to finish other FF games before a new one comes out than the DQ games

Don't forget about Tactics, Tactics Advance, Tactics Advance 2 on the way, Mystic Quest, X-2, and 3 expansions for XI.

DQ only has 3 non numbered I believe. Joker, Swords, and one I can't remember.

Dragon Quest does have all it's Monsters games.

Either way though Dragon Quests take much longer to beat then most FF's, especially newer ones.

There are four games in the Dragon Quest Monsters series (including Joker), four Mysterious Dungeon games starring DQIV's Torneko and DQVIII's Yangus, two games in the Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest series, "Kenshin Dragon Quest" (a system unto itself, but still a video game), and now Dragon Quest Swords.

Slightly off on my DQ Knowledge I take it.

You have a point, I think DQ3 on NES was nearly twice(if not more) as long as FFIII on NES and the only FF I have with nearly as many Hours as I have on DQ8 is FFX & FFXII - difference is those 2 FF games got such a high play time from the side quests, whereas I'm simply just doing the main quest of DQ8

[Bahamut2000X]

The main thing that makes DQ longer though is just the system itself. It's slower paced everything, battles, travel, shopping. FF was a more faster paced RPG and each addition improved their systems, where as DQ still required you to open a menu for so many things (stairs, doors, search, check, talk, etc.).

Yeah my DQ VIII clocked in at just over 130 hours, that's beating the storyline, some side quests included, but nowhere near as much as it would take for me to build that up in FFX or XII. FF seems to be doable in about 40 hours since VII, I can do just about everything in V and VI in about 35.

[Ichimonji]

You must have left your game on for some time. I beat DQVIII plus sidequests in like 89 hours.

[Bolivar]

There definately were some periods where I left it on for hours at a time. But I also level grinded outside the monster town while waiting for all the best/semi-best equipments to be done cooking out of the alchemy pot, or cooking the items to get those items.

did you complete all the sidequests/best equipment?

Dragon Quest is so lovely. I just wish DQIX would come out on the PS3 rather than the DS. I can't really complain, though.

Honestly, Kishkish, who says Torneko?

[Sarc the Swordsman]

So is it coming out for the PS2? I hope so...I won't get around to buying a PS3 until later this year. -_- Personally, I'm looking forward to a new DQ came...although I've only played the 8th in the series.

[Roto13]

It's coming out for DS.

Honestly, Kishkish, who says Torneko?

Everyone?
