I believe Gabo literally means "Ruff" -- as in, a dog's bark -- in Japanese.
So this is the best news of the week, but I'm not standing idle and I don't suggest you do so either.
Where the hell is Dragon Quest Monsters 1 and 2, Square Enix? Where's Dragon Quest X? (With a combination DQX/FF14 bundle subscription.)
You have given us our inch, we demand our mile.
I suspected this but wanted to be sure whether it was that or something similar that was still a dog related gag.
. . . And at this point it seems likely we're lucky still getting mainline games and especially lucky to have seen Heroes. I would've really liked Rocket Slime 3 myself. :/
If we got I+II and III gbc, 3DS would be capable of 1-9 in mainline series. So awesome, really hope square has plans for it someday in the future. I'd be cool with NES too, though GBC is preferable.

The GBC versions would be VASTLY preferable.
It'd be nice for Monsters 1-2 too since we're obviously not getting those remakes.
I'm still holding out hope for Pirate Slime and Theathrythm though.

It's a pretty fantastic game, even today.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.

Don't forget Rocket Slime 3 and Theatrhythm.
New character in DQ7?
To compensate for the looooooooooong stretches of the game where you have a party of 3 guys?
And that as soon as a fourth joins, someone else leaves the next mission?
e: oh only a character that gives hints to the shards. lame
3 guys party is prolly my main complaint about dq7

If DQ VII and VIII sell well, who knows what happens. Maybe they all come along with XI in 2017.
In any case, two mainline dragon quest games are plenty to get my hands into for a full year.
Having played 40 hours of DQ7 on an emulator I'm much less excited about it than I should be, it was weirdly episodic and unsatisfying to play. Totally buying it as soon as it's out though, square need to know we want these games.
DQ8 is one of my favourite games of all time. So is Xenoblade and I only managed to play 8 hours of that on 3ds. Still getting it for the collection though, and for the reasons above.
All seems promising for DQ11 at least.

I think one of the changes in 8 is that it will be like 9's.

It's Level-5's only game other than Dark Cloud 2 which I feel comfortable recommending without any caveats.

Looking at Mobile-GAF on my phone right before I chowed down on a burger at 5 Guys. Did a fist pump when I read the news and then tucked into my burger. Yeah, best burger I've had in awhile.

So, is DQ8 3DS better or worse than PS2?
I only started the series this year with 4 and 5 on DS, will play 6 next and beat it before 7 releases, but then I have to decide which version of 8 to play.

GAF and other should give credit to Operation Hero. Without them and their campaign, we might not have gotten DQ out West. The battle has been won, but the war is still on. Now we need Slime Mori Mori and the Dragon Quest Monsters 1 and 2 3DS remakes and also DQ X MMO..everybody that's not a DQ fan, buy the games, so at least SE knows that the community is vibrant. I will double dip on both games for sure.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Worse. I think it adds some stuff, but the graphics took a major hit. No idea if the music is intact.

So wait; this is actually happening? It's not a translation error or rumor or botched online retailer listing?

I'm so excited ahhhh.
They were also announced by Shibata in the European Direct, we are getting them here too.
I'm so happy T_T
Yes. It may not top the DS in terms of original or innovative new games, but it has an awesome library of games.

The music easily superior in the 3DS version.
While the visuals took a hit (I'd say closer to slight, rather than major) The 3DS has many enhancements: much faster battles, new side quests, no random battles, new playable characters, new monster arenas features, new scenarios, new dungeons (both story and post-game wise), new ending, new costumes for all characters, more mini medals + rewards, and more.
It is a well made version of the game, unless you're really particular about visuals.

DQ7 always looked drab to me tho maybe I'll skip, I'll definitely be buying 8 however.

VIII seems like a waste of resources but really cool that VII is coming over.
