Square Enix announced that Dragon Quest Heroes is coming west in 2015!
Now if only we could get the Special Edition Dragon Quest PS4.... dreams....
Not to mention all of the other DQ games we have missed in the past years....
I have to stop before I can't see through my tears. Tears of joy mixed with tears of sadness.
-
Maybe if it sells well enough and we're lucky, Square Enix will start localizing some of the other DQ games we've missed. :D
-
Possibly another reason to get a PS4. I'm not sure. I really liked Hyrule Warriors, but a lot of that is because I love Zelda. Never played Dragon Quest at all.

From the videos it looks better than a typical Dynasty Warriors rip off. Some western sites will be posting review of it soon if you aren't sold on the Famitsu scores. They seem to be biased and everything DQ gets good ratings from at least two of the staff members every time.
I had a PS4 at launch and ended up selling it after I played a few games and didn't find anything else I wanted to play.
I'm looking forward to picking up Dragon Quest Heroes and Final Fantasy Type 0 though. Might even play some Final Fantasy XIV.
So I'll have to pony up $400 again.

Is DQ Theatrhythm coming over?

Hasn't been announced yet and thus every night I shed a single tear.
-
I posted some info about DQ heroes localization earlier today. This is fabulous news. ;D
As far as Theatrhythm and any other recent DQ game (X, VII 3D, etc) nothing has been announced. Im pretty sure that X is a no go, VII 3D really should happen and rhythm is probably a no as well. :-\

Dragon Quest IX sold a little over 1 million copies in the west.
Dragon Quest IV DS games took in 300,000 or less
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker - which they heavily advertised did even worse.
Even lower sales for the other Dragon Quest games like V and VI
I think Square Enix is done for now sending us DQ games for Nintendo consoles.
I thought there might be a chance to see Theatrhythm because of how well Final Fantasy sold, but I've heard there are even less tracks in the new game. So I doubt we will see it unless they wait until a "Curtain Call" style re-release happens.
I'm almost certain we won't see Dragon Quest X (especially since it is a Nintendo/PC exclusive). I realize it was also released on Android or something, but that won't happen here in the west either.

DQ sadly hasn't been received like FF here in the west :( kinda sad because DQM is one of my favorite GBC games.
-
Not sure if they know more than what has been mentioned but Best buy has a pre-order for DQ heroes and lists the release date as 10-13-15.

Was kinda hoping it would hit this summer, but then again that WOULD space it apart from One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3.

Havent posted on this in a while but time for some updates. The game comes out in less than 2 weeks (10/13). Almost every place offers the day one edition as part of pre-order but there are a few additions. Gamestop offers a fabric banner with pre-orders and is offering both day one and slime collector's edition. Square Enix store offers the slime collectors edition with additional in-game items and maps as well as the DQ III hero costumes for Luceus and Aurora. Playstation store offers a DQ theme and a Goolden axe for Yangus. There are several videos out showing intros of the game. This one is the latest which shows all the characters and what the mini medals do in the game : http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2015/3876.html Here is some in-game play from PAX prime : http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2015/3707.html and here is the actual trailer : http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2015/3689.html. Best buy and Gamestop offer playable demos on their in-store kiosks as well as a video of that same trailer. In additional news, all of the DLC that was available in Japan will be free here included on disk : http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2015/3771.html. Now time for some images.

All in all, a fantastic game draws near!
-
How big is the banner? I have mine preordered from Gamestop and paid in full. The banner art looks sweet with minimal detractions from the art itself!
-
Im not entirely sure yet. The one I work at hasnt gotten them in yet but the moment I get them in, Ill get one and get dimensions. :)

Dang, I preordered mine through SQNIX. Any Chance GS will have some leftover banners?
-
I'm really tempted to get the collector's edition for this, even though I won't be getting a PS4 for a long time lol Weird that at Gamestop, the collector's edition is 20 bucks more than on the Square Enix store, despite Square's coming with more skins and weapons and that they promote the fabric poster has a bonus.

Yeah, I just noticed the price difference. Wow, basically the fabric poster is the $20.
I dont see the fabric as a bonus for the SQNIX Version? Its should be only GS Preorder bonus.

Wrote that abit wrong, meant that GS is 20 bucks more, despite promoting the poster as a bonus.
-
The fabric comes with any DQ pre-order at Gamestop.

Nice, because that sounds pretty cool. :) I'm tempted by the CE, but it just seems too expensive for what you get. If GS had it for $100 like S-E does, I *might* bite because I currently have the standard edition paid off there w/ store credit.
-
I just received a mailing confirmation on my Slime collectors edition.
I also pre-ordered another copy from Gamestop online to secure my fabric banner. None of them have arrived at my store and my boss said they may not make it at all. But the ones purchased online will be shipped with order so I will definitely get one from that route.

So my gamestop actually has the games in stock! I went and touched one. It felt lovely! :) I didnt dig around too much yet though to find the banners. Ill update this when I get more info.
I also ordered me a shirt to celebrate the release and its actually one I can wear at work. It arrived today. Im so excited to wear this Tuesday!

My DQ for SQNIX is in the same state as me but they are purposely holding on till the 13th. RIP Early access.

I tried the same thing. Its in my city but its purposely being sent through hoops to make sure it doesnt deliver before Tuesday.

All right, I got my banner today. Its much larger than I expected. Its about the size of a full poster. Nice detail too!

Mine is sitting at the store for when I get off work.

Pro tip: If you ever see me post about how a CE seems too expensive, that's me trying to talk myself out of it. It didn't work this time. ;)
Ordered mine from S-E and it should arrive today. Also called my friend who's the manager of the GS I frequent and asked if they got in any extra wall scrolls. They did, and he's holding one for me so I'll grab that after work. :D

Win-win situation my friend. Congrats!

I have measurements of the banner/scroll. First, I have to say this thing is beautiful. Its very graphic and almost looks HD. Impressive as hell.
It feels like silk (like the same material as a normal wall scroll). Its 39 1/2 inches tall and 23 inches across. Pretty good sized.
I will get my CE tomorrow. All the loops that Squenix went through to make sure it didnt arrive at people's home before the street date didnt take into consideration that Monday was a federal holiday for some places.

Any GS with extra banners? Do you think they'll let me buy any extra banner?

Does it have a wooden dowel in it like a lot of wall scrolls do, or is it just the cloth? Davifus, assuming it's just cloth & my store has another extra, I'll see if I can get it & stick it in your package I'm sending you. I'll let you know tonight if I'm successful. :)
-
I didn't realize that GS would be selling what SE was calling an SE Store-exclusive edition ???
The bf hasn't mentioned the banners yet, but I'll see if he can snag me one today. Also, my edition doesn't arrive until tomorrow for me :'(
Also, Soera, isn't it nice that GS is allowing you guys to wear current-game related shirts now? My bf is so happy to not have to wear collared shirts anymore, especially with the heatwaves we've been having the last few months.

Dav, sorry, got the people I was dealing with mixed up. :o That said, I did get you a DQH wall scroll. If we work out the deal on what you were interested in I'll just pack it in with that, otherwise you can just pay the shipping on the scroll (which will be very little) and I'll send it to ya! :D

:'( :'( :'(
My bf's store didn't get any posters. I might just have to resort to eBay unless anyone finds themselves with a bunch of posters available!

Haven't heard back from davifus yet, but if he doesn't want/need it, it's yours.
-
All right, answering stuff -
The banner is just cloth. No dowel or anything.
The Slime edition from Gamestop isnt exactly the same as the one from SE. There isnt any other DLC other than the normal day one stuff.
A lot of stores didnt get too many pre-orders so if there are extras, Im sure they would let you snag one.
-
I will probably end up with some extras some how (I am Soera after all). Once its all said and done, Ill post here.
-
The banner/scroll is pretty sweet. High quality with vivid colors.

I ended up getting dinner with the bf and his coworkers late last night, and they found the box of banners after he left (none of them knew about the preorder exclusive either, ha). They brought me two (one for another friend of mine who'd gotten his game at GS already), so I'm good!
Thanks for looking out! ;D
And I agree with everyone else - it's a really nice one.

I couldn't tell the diff from the pictures, but maybe I'm missing something...

BTW, the actual game is really good too! :P
-
Oh I see, Square Enix Online Store is supposed to have an exclusive DRAGON QUEST III hero costumes for Luceus and Aurora. Perhaps that's the extra part. Also, Amazon has the CE up for sale:

$99

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I just got my package from SE, and I have to say that I'm always surprised that a few game publishers will send their nice CEs in boxes that are *exactly* the same size as their game, so that no packaging material can be placed between the box and the game. I haven't had any problems, but just wanted to give folks a heads up in case they see any damage to their shipping boxes. And be careful when you cut the box open with a knife!
The game box itself is sealed, though one corner had already burst open a small hole in the wrapping.
-
In a surprise leak, the game was just shown to be coming out for PC! Woo! I was bummed I wasn't gonna get to play it for a long time since it's PS4 only and I won't be getting one till probably later next year. Super cool.
