Dragon Quest V remake

[Flying Mullet]

Square-Enix is remaking Dragon Quest V for the PS2!

I know that a lot of people here don't care for the Dragon Quest series but I think that this is sweet news. Total goodness.

Dragon Quest is a Square Enix series, y'no, so shouldn't this be in General Square Enix?

and I'm glad they're remaking this, since they didn't bother releasing DQ5 or DQ6 in the States, as far as I know :-[

True, I'm not used to Enix games being Square-Enix yet.

Yeah, I hope they release the remake outside of Japan. The story says that no mention of a release outside of Japan has been made but it's likely that it will be released outside of Japan.

well, generally when you remake a game you'll want to release it to the widest audience possible since it seems things like this have more limited appeal than actual new releases :-[

I completely agree, Let's just hope that Square-Enix does too(although I think they will).

[The Man]

let's also hope they don't censor it to bits as they're apparently planning to do with ffx-2

But I think it's a great idea to remake it... Even though I never played it...

I only played DW1 and DW4 (it's the same series, right?)

Yepper. They called it "Dragon Quest" in Japan and "Dragon Warrior" in the US.

[The Man]

Actually, I'm pretty sure they called a lot of the US rereleases "Dragon Quest," but it was originally titled "Dragon Warrior" when it came out over here.

I don't know of any US releases that are called "Dragon Quest". Even Dragon Warrior VII was "Warrior" and that was released only a couple of years ago. The rereleases on Game Boy are "Warrior" as well.

[The Man]

odd... I've heard of a lot of people referring to the game boy remakes as being specifically titled "Dragon Quest," but maybe they were mistaken or something. Or maybe I was. I wouldn't know for sure; the only DW/DQ game I actually own is the first one :-[

[Flying Mullet]

People might have imported them or such, or perhaps they're just calling the Dragon Quest now, just like we call FFII IV and FFIII VI. I checked the two game boy remakes I have and they are Dragon Warrior. Who knows. *shrug*

That's probably it, actually. *nods*

And they would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids and thier dog.

Another mystery solved.

About releasing it in America, when Enix remade DQ4 for PS (possible the BEST DW) they cancelled the english release of it. So who knows, i think they need to bring that to America as it is the best one of the series.
