And this is just a remake.

Just imagine how much Dragon Quest IX will sell, specially if Nintendo makes a bundle or a special edition DS.

Too bad though it (DQIX) will be somewhat limited (graphics) by the platform it's coming out on.

EDIT: To the disagrees and the "no limitation" claims.

This is what we had last time:

And this is what people will get this time:

There is no limitation to DQIX on the DS at all. It's a very traditional game that plays on old school. It wouldn't fit on a home console really now-a-days maybe Wii or PS2 but not PS3/360 really. Seems the time of random battles with turn based gameplay is for the handhelds now while the home consoles get the action RPGs where you see the enemies on the playing field

Edit: Reality and this is what we had with 7 on PS1 http://www.dqshrine.com/dw/...

Dragon Quest VI on SNES http://farm2.static.flickr....

Kind of see something going on? Oh yeah Dragon Quest was never about the graphics just awesome gameplay formula and story. As you can see from your screens you showed not much is missing in terms of cell shading on the DS version

Oh yeah I'm not saying action RPGs aren't any good. I'm saying that turn based RPGs are going to the way side on home consoles. Which is why you see a lot of these turn based rpgs going to the handhelds.

I'm more in favor of random battles/turn based gameplay for my RPGs but that's just me :)

When talking of a FFVII remake I can only hope they make it all the same just bigger and better but I know they wouldn't and that's why I don't want it to happen heh

To be fair Dragon Quest V and VI never made it outside of Japan the first time around
