Yeah as soon as you beat the game tons of new quests come flying from every spot on the map. Plus some of them are very impractical to even bother with during the final stages of the main game like the Sage quests.  By the time you earn the Sage vocation you are literally at the end of the main part of the game.  The monsters you have to kill to get the job start showing up 2 floors beneath the final boss.

I proceeded with changing my job to the Sage anyway and it probably added another 2 hours or so just so I can get her to a level where she wouldn't immediately die during the battle.

Don't forget if you bring your DS and copy of DQIX into Gamestop today you can get a treasure map for Zoma's Grotto.

The Gamestop by me had one, half-asleep moron ATTEMPTING to set-up the download.

I got there at 12:50. I left at 2:10 STILL without the map.

The guy started to read the download instructions at 1:00PM. Mis-read them, thinking HE had to get to Stornway in the cart that Nintendo provided for the download station, so he was playing and playing trying to get to that part of the game.

Every five minutes, people were walking up to the counter asking and the manager would say: "We're just setting up the download station now. It should be any minute."

80 minutes later I just got fed up and left.

Why in GOD'S NAME would you wait until the time of the START of an event to try and set it up? Why have only ONE sales associate trying to do it (and failing pathetically)... while he was answering the phone, while he was getting games for customer's out of the cabinet and drawers, while he was mis-informing customers of what THEY had to do: "No, you don't need to be up to any particular point in the game" he said.

I think I am going to have a stroke, judging from how much my temples are throbbing right now.

NEVER, EVER, E-V-E-R WASTE. MY. TIME ! ! !

That sucks. You should file a complaint and fire that guy and get the manager of that store in trouble.

Some are very helpful and know what they're doing but most I've come across are a bunch of pricks and don't know what they hell they're doing.

Egg!! I would REALLY call the store FIRST before getting on a bus to go there!!

Don't get stuck going all the way there if they are too stupid to figure out how to set up the download!!

Nice little 60 mile drive into the heart of the infernal Island and I got my map.

I am pissed at the schmucks at GameStop at the moment...

...but LOVE my friend Chance's iPad for helping me find a GS that was actually up and running,

and allowed me to post this post!

What sucks the most is you can't even really complain to management about it. "Sorry we couldn't give you your free gift sir. Now please fuck off and die" is probably the response you'd get.

...all I would have to do is tell them to check my pre-order history. They would see how much money I spend in their stores and that stoopid manager would be let go in a second flat...

IF I wanted to be a dick, that is...

Fortunately, I'm NOT what I eat!

lucky enough by the time i got there it was working but  from what i heard that it took them a while  they said that nintendo made it to completed  and thats a joke because nintendo can't do anything completed  all i can think is that man this is the secand time a gs employee didn't know how to do a nintendo event and nintendo just can't trust gamestop anymore but lucky enough to get 2 maps one from another person and the zoma one and the awesome poster

Reprinted from a GameSpot post so everyone is aware:

_____________

The first GameStop I went to, the guys there were too stupid to get the download station going. They NEVER did... ALL day...!

Their excuse was: "Tech Issues. We've sent an e-mail to our Nintendo Rep and are awaiting his response."

That's what you get when you get a hung-over, half-asleep, incompetent teen running a National Nintendo Event!

I eventually got the "map" elsewhere.

I say "map" because it isn't really a "map" at all; it's actually a Boss Battle with Zoma, the End Boss of Dragon Warrior 3, if I remember correctly.

The Best Buy Event wil take place Next Saturday, August 7th, and it will net you a Boss Battle with Estark, the End Boss of Dragon Warrior IV.

Finally, the Simon Malls event will take place August 7th-September 19th and will yield you Malroth, the Final Boss you fight in Dragon Warrior II.

_____________

Go HERE to find out more information and the specific locations for the Events.

Not sure I'm going to mess with any of the other maps. As much as I enjoyed it, I'm extremely burned out on the game (and gaming in general I think). 71 hours in just over 2 weeks. I don't usually play 71 hours of games in a month, let alone on just one game.  

Just as well though. I need to concentrate more on costumes for August anyway.

Estark wasn't the final boss in 4 but the long sleeping demon king but you kill him half way thro the final chapter
it was Psaro the Manslayer
