DQ 8 3DS has new modes, more content, more playable characters and a new dungeon. If you stick to the ps2 you're likely missing out.

And most importantly

Spoiler

You now get to marry the best girl!

 

[ULTROS!]

Finally. Now I can complete all mainline non-MMO DQ games.

 

[Wilsongt]

Best gif in this situation.

 

[Hours Left]

I can finally use this again.

 

[Boogiepop]

Seriously super happy about this! Was really close to importing, like would've done so already if I had the time to commit to tackle these. So glad to see we're getting them!

 

[Mr Rivuz]

I've always hoped for this 2 games to be released here, this direct was awesome.
I'm gonna spend all 2016 playing jrpgs on 3ds.

 

[Zophar]

Best news of the day.

 

[rpmurphy]

I believed in Horii. So glad.

 

[Aeana]

I can finally use this again.

I was wondering why this wasn't posted yet.

 

[AmyS]

Oh God PLEASE English Dragon Quest VII 3DS.

Edit: FUCK YES.

Battle speed is so much faster too.

I still don't like 8 much but the 3DS version is sooooooo much better.

Yes, the most important point of this version.
Oh and no more random encounter.

 

[yami4ct]

Amazing news. Preordered VII since I've never played it and I want to support more DQ in the west. Might get VIII at some point, but I'm not sure if I'll have time for another JRPG next year given the glut of them we're getting.

 

[Jeels]

So happy. DQ7 was the 3DS title I really wanted. Good to hear they are making it happen.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I can finally use this again.

Not until Rocket Slime 3 comes over... and/or gets fan translated.

 

[chaosblade]

I had given up on this. In for DQ7, not really interested in 8 since I have it for PS2.

 

[Cmagus]

such an awesome announcement can't wait.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

About time! So happy!

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

Been wanting 7 for so long now! And we're getting 8 as well. This just made my day.

 

[LordofPwn]

I'm not sure you would enjoy it on a sony device either my friend, you clearly have bad eyes to not see "for 3DS" before you opened the thread

I got disappointed mid sentence. Felt like entering to express said dissapointment
TL;DR - my eyes are fine buddy.

 

[like.a.ser]

-stares at the save file he just started for a replay of DQ7 like a week ago-

Welp, if I keep going now I can finish in time to replay it again on 3DS.

 

[Hours Left]

I was wondering why this wasn't posted yet.

I couldn't find the original one before so I had to make a new janky version.

Not until Rocket Slime 3 comes over... and/or gets fan translated.

Oh man, I wish. At least Nintendo is paying attention to DQ again, so who knows know. Everything is possible.

Lol, checking woodus daily paid off. Even the mods can't believe it.

 

[jb1234]

Definitely picking up VII. Not sure about VIII and I have it on PS2.

 

[M-PG71C]

All I have to say: You motherfuckers better buy these games. Damn. I will throw any kind of money at the chance to get DQXI (And maybe one day when I'm dead and gone, DQ X)

My pre-orders are down. Are yours?

 

[krossj]

nice surprise! Looking forward to both.

 

[AgeEighty]

I'd prefer them to redub it entirely, but I doubt it'll happen.

Why? The original VOs ranged from excellent at best to passable at worst. S-E, the existing dub is fine. Don't waste your money.

 

[Bladenic]

Dunno if I'm in for DQ8 considering how many hours long it is and I've played it, but so in for DQ7! I should try and play 1-3 by then too.

 

[AmyS]

Lol, checking woodus daily paid off. Even the mods can't believe it.

Amazing!

And my collection demands more entries.

 

[Intel_89]

Great, now don't do what you did with Heroes and VI and actually buy the game so we can get more released here.

 

[NolbertoS]

There is a god and his name is Yuji Horii. Thank you For finally making my dreams ome true. I will buy 3 copies per game to help sales out West, wow can't believe its finally happening.

 

[kagamin]

Defying logic, based Nintendo.

Spoiler

FUCKING A I WAS RIGHT, why did I even doubt myself.

 

[Shouta]

Despite some inconsistencies and a load of typos, the psx translation of Dragon Quest VII was really charming and downright funny at times. Like when you first encounter slimes and Maribel says "Their rythmic jiggling is making me quesy." Plus every time you advanced in the story, everybody got new lines. The script for that game must have been enormous. Probably my favorite DQ

I've seen the binders with the physical scripts for DQ7. It was massive.

God has to be real now, right? This is a divine happening.

No other possibility.

God is rea... *thinks about DQ7* Hmm.

 

[entremet]

Amazing!

And my collection demands more entries.

Where's VI

 

[yami4ct]

Have they said who's publishing this yet. Is SE finally ready to push DQ again or is this a Bravely Default scenario and Nintendo is saving the day?

This gives me way more hope we'll see the 3DS version of DQ XI as well as the PS4 one. I'll likely go PS4 regardless, but I'd like the option.

 

[Zero²]

Damn I should really buy a 3ds :O

 

[sensui-tomo]

i just came home from work... ALL THESE FEELS .. nintendo hurting my wallet.

 

[Kouriozan]

Where's VI

Realms of Revelation.

 

[batrush]

2016 is looking pretty great for gaming.

 

[entremet]

Realms of Revelation.

For some reason, I read that as IX.

Weird.

 

[Unison]

I'm so glad that this is happening!

I've played and beaten both 7 & 8, but I'm excited about the 7 remake.

8's just a port, right? Any improvements or additions?

 

[tenderbrew]

Literally just got into the series this year after listening to the Retronauts episode on the series. Fell in love immediately. I got the PS4 release of the musou game and love it.

I literally shouted out loud at my wife when I heard this news.

 

[Willy Wanka]

So glad these are coming to Europe. I'll be getting both!

 

[xevis]

They're both coming?!?
Mind = Blown.

 

[AmyS]

Where's VI

It's right... oh...I just saw the replies.

Realms of Revelation.

For some reason, I read that as IX.

Weird.

Now that VII and XIII are coming west, I'll have to get a copy of IX (DQ 9) also

 

[The_Inquisitor]

YES. Best news all month!

 

[entremet]

It's right... oh...I just saw the replies.

Joker 2 is also cheap if you want to go for a full DS set.

It's like 13 buck on Amazon new.

You guys and your roman numerals...

 

[AzureSkies]

SHIT

DQ7 AND 8?

OH MY GOD YES

 

[Raw64life]

hnnng, DQ7! Preordered this at the speed of light.
All my prayers and nagging in those CN surveys finally come to fruition.... so happy ;_;

Excited to see all the changes from the PS1 version for myself.

Forgot about those too. I answered every survey question that was fill in on every Club Nintendo game I ever registered with "PLEASE BRING DRAGON QUEST VII ON 3DS TO AMERICA". Who knows, maybe it helped.

 

[hirokazu]

Best news to come out of out the Direct. Unless it wasn't mentioned in the Direct, in that case, worst Direct.

Who even cares about Cloud in Smash Bros. when we have DQVII/VIII announcement! :0
