Can't wait.

I still need to buy DQ5 for the DS though. Dang.

Hey, while I'm mentioning it, was there any announcement of other ports? We still never got DQ6 here, did we..?

1up has the newest promotional video up, here.

Just awesome, easily the best looking rpg on the DS thus far.

I'm two hours into it. So far the story is great and it feels a lot like Dragon Quest VIII. The 3D DS graphics are a little lacking, but they are the best 3D graphics I've seen on the system so far!

This game is so awesome.

I play it on the train, but I keep almost missing my stops because I'm so into it. I wish there is some way I could play it on my TV.

I'm 6 hours in so far and the story is great. It has the same feel as all of the other Dragon Quest games but has a new angle.

The feel is very Dragon Quest. The combat and skill system is a stream lined version of what was in Dragon Quest VIII.

Equipping clothes and weapons is a lot of fun. You also make your party members, so I'm a punk dude surrounded by hot chicks. My girl complained that she wasn't in my party, so I made her as well.

I'll post more the farther I get, so far it's pure quality.

This is right on the money http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3175156

Famitsu gives it a perfect score http://www.imagebam.com/image/a2586642084862

I've been waiting for this game the moment I beat VIII. Yeah, I know it wasn;t announced, but I knew it was coming, just not on the DS. I'm so tempted to get the JPN version instead of waiting, but I just might have to wait it out.
