Dragon Quest IX Trailer

So the new Dragon Quest game is going to be coming out for the Nintendo DS, and frankly it looks amazing. Everyone thought FFIII DS sold well, but if this trailer has anything to say about it, this one may just take the cake.

For no other reason than the fact that changing armor is reflected on the character this game is going to be embraced by console RP'ers who have almost always lacked that functionality in their games. Curse you PC gamers who have had this simple feature for years!

The gameplay appears fast paced and with the commercial success of FFXII, Dragon Quest is branching away from their tried and true method of turn-based combat in favor of real time action. I was a skeptic prior to FFXII, but the game really sold me, so not all hope is lost on this title, perhaps it will pull it off as fluidly as the console has. All in all the game looks fantastic, we'll see how it turns out, an unfortunately there is no release date set, even for the Japanese SKU.
