It’s been 6 days since I’ve started on DQ IX, and I’ve yet to complete the main story. Currently, I’m stuck at what I think is the last main boss, so I’ll have to go grind on more metal slimes. Meanwhile, I’ve been reading different opinions about how awesome or sucky the game is. Famitsu gave it a 40/40, while Amazon Japan is flooded with 1 and 2 star reviews.
Screw Famitsu, since I don’t believe that there is any game is perfect. Also, screw the 1 and 2 star Amazon Japan reviews, since that’s a concentrated effort by some 2ch trolls. Out of those who bought the game, everyone would be currently busy playing the game, except those trolls. As such, to me, DQ IX’s level of awesomeness will be defined only by myself.

I’ve been wanting to get a DS for a very long time, but have been hesitating as I just couldn’t find a reason to fully convince myself into getting one. Unlike how there are people buying the PSP solely for Monster Hunter, there wasn’t exactly a game to make me do so for the DS.
However, now that Dragon Quest IX’s being released in a couple of days, on 11th July, I decided that it’ll be a good time to chip in on the release and get myself a NDS Lite. While waiting for the release, I bought Dragon Quest V.
You must be wondering, “Why Dragon Quest?” My answer is a single word, “Nostalgia”. That’s the reason why I have always held Dragon Quest in higher regard as compared to Final Fantasy.

Unless you’re a big fan of the DQM series, skip this game totally and play the DQM II on the gameboy colour instead. The graphics may not be as good, but the gameplay is definitely superior as compared to DQM: Joker. Don’t follow what I did, burning a whole 20 hours of in-game time last weekend on the game instead of spending it wisely on soon-to-be due assignments, only to be disappointed tremendously.
