Posted August 14, 2008 Jeremy Parish on 1Up has an import preview up of DQ V. It doesn't give away too many details you won't know already about the game, but its a nice enough read nonetheless. Click click! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2008 At times you can't help but be jealous of Japan. They've got IV and V and we're a month to IV T_T Can't wait for this. So much RPG goodness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2008 Gamespot have a preview up. Here's a few things from it regarding the controls and interestingly, some mode that involves the DS local wireless: Even though it is on the DS, there are no touch screen controls for this game. In towns and dungeons, you can see your surroundings across the top and bottom screen, allowing you to see what's ahead. You can use the L and R buttons to rotate your camera angle. In town, you can also press the Y button to pull up a hand-drawn map of the entire area that will point out where to find the important shops. On the overworld screen, you can bring up a zoomed-in map to give you a better idea of where you are situated. [...] There is a Chance Encounter mode, which is available through a local wireless connection. We aren't sure what it entails exactly, but we were told it involves expanding your town to discover an ancient mystery regarding a cursed kingdom. http://uk.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/dragonquestiv/news.html?sid=6196018 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2008 Basically you can found a village that grows over time and you can send 'pioneers' to your friend's village carrying a message and they'll live in the town. If anyone uses the mode, I will be shocked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 24, 2008 A few bits of info from a hands on of DQ 4 at RPGamer. The guy says he's about 20 hours in and he is enjoying the game a lot by the sounds of it. First, the positive: ...unlike the Final Fantasy remakes, Dragon Quest IV never tries to push the DS to do more than it can do. A great example of this mix is when the characters are exploring the various towns. The buildings and characters retain a pleasant, simple, sprite-like look, but the area spreads itself across both screens. This looks attractive and feels less claustrophobic than restricting the surroundings to one screen. But it doesn't stop there, in this DS remake, you have the ability to rotate the view of the town 360 degrees. The result is a perfect blend of old and new. I think I read that you can't rotate the camera in the DQ 5 remake. I may be misremembering that though cos I can't remember where I would have come across that factoid at. And some negatives for DQ 4: The quick save option is restricted to the world map and thus practically negating what makes a quick save convenient in the first place. There are some absolutely confusing choices that went into organizing the otherwise mostly clean menus. There are absolutely zero touch controls, and I still need to go to the church to check how much experience my characters need to level up. I don't care if that's "just Dragon Quest", it's a silly mechanic that Square Enix needs to let go of. http://www.rpgamer.com/games/dq/dq4ds/dqivimp.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm gonna keep it sealed a few weeks though and see if I can clear FF IV outta the way first and maybe Mario RPG too. I hope there are plenty of others that have ordered it too and will be playing this classic over the incoming weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
