I've been enjoying watching the 'day one edition' drop $10 every month or so here in Australia.
Started on.... $79 or $89 I believe, now it's $39. One more price drop and I'll buy it I swear.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
The best thing about this design, other than the awesome Proto Man scarf, is how well the color of the patterns on his swords match his outfit. Dual wielding also >>>>> sword and shield

The dual wielding is the best part. Also love the designs on the swords.

Wish these games were cel-shaded, but it does look pretty good. Still waiting for a sale on the first one (PS4).
IIRC they said that Heroes 2 would be even less of a Musou type deal than the first game. That said, people probably shouldn't expect Dragon Quest x Kingdom Hearts or anything.

Official site got updated with pretty much all the info recently revealed on magazines:

I'll probably import the Vita version to start, because I'm about 99% positive that even if Square-Enix localizes the portable port, we won't get a physical version. I'll buy the PS4 game if/when it comes here, otherwise I'll import that, too. I really enjoyed the first one. I got the platinum and I still had an itch to play more. Really fun game. Can't wait for the sequel.

I wonder how they plan to fit in famous characters from the other games. In the first one it was like portals to other worlds opened up that the characters from each DQ game used or something.
I just really want to play as the hero from DQ8. Or, Nipples, as I named him.

I think the thing that looks bizarre in modern DQ, especially for female characters, is the insistence on putting contemporary hairstyles on the characters. Medieval world with lots of 80s prom hair styles for the girls and feathered, effeminate hair in the eyes stuff for the guys. Makes them look like refugees from a particularly strange set of host and hostess clubs.

I agree, and its one of the things about a lot of Japanese character design these days that bothers me. I'm just not seeing a whole lot of creativity and innovation. Just feathered triangles on dudes, or pony tails.

Day 1 for sure as well.
I just hope the male protagonist isn't as annoying as Luceus was in DQH1.

Just platinumed the first one. I'll check this one out.
Looking good so far, hopefully we get more costumes that aren't just color swaps for all characters this time around. Jessica has alot of costumes in DQ8 and yet she got nothing but a color swap. Pathetic.
I still like that style, but you gotta blame toriyama for that one cause its his style. That said you're not really seeing a lot of innovation in hair styles for western games either.
