It's a rare game nowadays in the US. I think that's why it's not selling well, it's hard to find. Hope they bring DQ6 to America despite this sales... Message | Report |

Wow! Finally started playing this yesterday, and am suprised at how awesome it is!. I mean, I love DQ games, but this one may be the best one I've played so far. It's a shame that this isn't selling better in the US since, in my opinion, V is even more fun that IV was. Message | Report |

I havent ever played a fan translation of this game, so I don't know what changed or stayed the same. But I will say that this game kicks ass. Yeah, some of the dialogue seems more "Earthbound-ish" than standard JRPG fare, but all RPGs dont have to be daftly serious. The gameplay is awesome and the 2.5D presentation looks great. Akira Toriyama's beautiful drawings make for a fine cast of friends and villains. Anyone who likes a good dungeon grind will appreciate this game. Message | Report |

Kenryoku_Maxis Has a point. To use a different medium, Gurren Laggan's dub didn't change a damn thing and it single-handedly saved Sci-fi's ass and pulled it out of the gutter. As a whole, this is just another textbook example of one company treating it's foreign branch like a red-haired step-son, only now the treatment is entirely the fault of said branch. Seeing these translations makes me think the 90's retro wave has already started..... Message | Report |

@luzer7072 http://www.siliconera.com/2009/02/13/square-enix-discusses-dragon-quest-v-hand-of-the-heavenly-brides-localization/ Unlike Mr. Kennedy there, some of us have a different view of what staying 'true to the Japanese original' is. And it sure isn't Dragons impersonating Ned Flanders or Ludman getting his name changed to Rodrigo Briscoletti just so he can go around spouting 'Ravioli, Linguine, Bambino, Tutti-Frutti!' And yes, all of that really happens. Regardless, the sales are slumping even worse than DQIV. As I predicted. And no, I'm not happy about it. More than anyone I want DQ to sell. But frankly, it needs more marketing and this localization IS substandard at best. And nothing close to the original creators vision, unlike the claims of the localization team. DQ games sell millions in Japan. And tons of Anime games do well in America. Why do they feel they need to change the game when they bring it over here? There's no logic behind these changes and it sure hasn't helped the sales. Message | Report |

I really don't care any more if they opt not to stick faithfully to the Japanese script like fan translations do. Honestly, I don't think that'd be nearly as interesting, as the plethora of puns and bad jokes in the Japanese text would just be lost that way, and it wouldn't be funny at all instead of being funny due to new jokes in the same spirit. Oh, and the game is a blast to play. Not surprising in the least. Message | Report |

While I don't like all the name changes, I don't really think any of it is dumbing down, especially not the accents... that would make it less for young children. I love the dialects, and a lot of the name changes. Message | Report |

I amend my previous statement. After playing the game, the accents are still there. Some even worse than before. "I can 'ardly muster up the energisms to do anythin' these dasies. I'm so 'ungry!" This on top of nearly every name being changed and other major alterations to try to 'dumb down' the game to make it target a child market. SquareEnix is just never going to learn. Message | Report |

@metalgearmatt That depends on what you are looking at. DQIV focuses on the characters and a chapter based system. And while all Dragon Quest games focus on their characters, this one is the one game that can probably be said to have the most powerful plot and uses monsters in the party for battle. But focusing on which will be better of the DS Dragon Quest games, it looks like this game is going to be indefinitely better just because of DQIV having the horrid translation and localization with edited content. And so far, all videos for this game have shown that they learned their lesson and have changed that practice. Making this game better by default. Message | Report |

Actually, the PS2 version was quite different from this one, which is being engineered to resemble DQ4DS (which was engineered to resemble DQ7). Never underestimate the power of a portable version, especially for a series like Dragon Quest. The ability to play anywhere is especially valuable to RPG players who also have full-time employment.

isn't it cool how companies can millions of dollars by just releasing the same thing over and over. This is quite similar to the remake released on the PS2, but we're probably looking at another million seller. Message | Report |
