Oooo...! If DQIX does well, maybe they'll bring Joker 2 out to the U.S.
(I liked it a lot!)
PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE!
(MY type of Pokemon game!)
I love how, even if it is fleeing for it's very life, as is evident by the little bead of sweat running down it's face, Slimes ALWAYS have the same, exact looks on their faces!
phantom_leo said:Much more solid graphical engine than Joker ever could hope to have... and doesn't control anything like it either. Not nearly as stiff!
Okay THANK GAWD for that. Phew... I did not like the hub world or graphics of Joker. And the constantly getting lost and, oh yeah, moving the camera the whole time. That's good news. How does the camera control in 9 BTW?

You played Rocket Slime yeah? (One of my top 5 games of all time). Funny you mentioned that, when I saw that image the first thing my eye wnt to was the bead of sweat.

I hate to admit it, especially after hearing your enthusiasm for it, but I didn't like Rocket Slime all that much. 
phantom_leo said:Like a more traditional DQ (7 and the remakes, at least). You pretty much get the 3D-ish top-down perspective......and you can rotate the screen using the left and right triggers to see if there's anything behind buildings, in corners, etc...
Excellent! That is what I wanted.

That's cool, it happens. It was my entry-point into the franchise, so I came at it with fresh eyes and no expectations, which would have influenced me heavily. To me it re-defined "charm", I always smile whn thinking of it.
...aaaand upon second glance, if you look by the right elbow of the Male Adventurer at the front of the group... you'll notice TWO Slimes with a WTF look on their faces...!
*I've been pwned by Slimes! Eh, whatever! They are still the cutest video game characters OF. ALL. TIME!*

Really examining that picture, I don't know what they are all so excited about.
They are about to get jumped by a Troll, 3 Slimes, a Cure Slime, a King Slime, some Drakees, a Bodkin Archer and a couple of those winged, fluffy guys from IX whose name I can't recall (Teeny Sanguinis).

Eggy - welcome to the site. The one part of the site to give you a heads up about is the rolling forum in the bottom of our news section. It's basically our conversation pit (on and off topic), so if nothing is going on in our forum check over there as well.

Yay! Eggmiester!
Yay! Dragon Quest IX!
I too had to force myself to go to sleep last night. I am playing, but not as quickly as everyone else. I only just formed my party and started the Wight Knight quest. I am still just so awed by the game! Trying to pace myself!
Someone please tell me this doesn't look/play like DQ Joker or FF3 on DS (cause the screens sure do).
