Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

Featured 3099 Views 38 Posts DS Gaming


Dragon Quest IX is the latest installment of the popular Dragon Quest series, exclusive to DS. It features the ability to create your own character and customize what they look like, a feature new to the series. It is said to focus on mostly on Multiplayer, and be the harest Dragon Quest installment to date. It hits Australian shelves on the 19th of August. The E3 trailer for it can be viewed below:



So, who's planning on getting this amazing RPG? My import copy arrived today, and i've liked what i've played in the few hours of playtime i've invested into it. Especially considering it has the same art style as DragonBall, it's always nice to see it used in a game.
I plan on getting this simply for the pie you promised me.

It's good, not the greatest, far from the worst.

It's the same art style because it's the same artist.
I've been playing a little (saving most of it for the trip, I couldn't resist), and I gotta say, so far it's a great game.

The game itself is about 30-40 hours long.
awsome game
I was wondering why I struggled with the Black Knight so much, even at such a high level. Then I realized, I only had one party member.

There's still a few side-quests you can do though to lengthen the game a bit.

Awesome fun, we'll have a review by the end of the week!
The customization in this game is great, getting new skills after leveling up actually makes grinding enjoyable.

does this game have voice acting?

I haven't noticed any. It might have some on the rare Anime cutscene in-game, but other than that no.
Doesn't have voice-acting.
Doesn't need it.

Doesn't need it.


YAY! now i'm more confident in getting this game.
Does anyone know if you can do wi-fi co-op?

Pretty rare to find voice acting in DS games.

I don't think so.

Haven't really tested multiplayer though.
is this similar to the last DQ game on DS?

SeaMen said: is this similar to the last DQ game on DS?



This is the first one I've played on DS, but I assume so. Generally speaking, these types of games don't change all that much on a platform.
Combat is different. Graphics are different. It's more like DQ8 on PS2 than anything else
