It's weird that they would choose to remake that Dragon Quest, though, when it's apparently not very fondly-remembered. I would have figured DQ8 from the PS2 would have been the logical choice.
I'm not sure how that's more logical than releasing the games in order.
GBC: I, II, III
DS: IV, V, VI
3DS: VII, VIII
4DS: IX, X?
ohhhhhh SNAP!! broodwars gets served again!
Served how? From what I've seen, DQ 8 is a dramatically more popular game than 7, and it was the first in the series to achieve
anything approaching success outside Japan and probably the first to at least
pretend to be a modern game. If I were picking a DQ game to remake (assuming the staff can drag the gun, knives, and cyanide away from me first), that'd be the one I'd pick.
By all means, though, enjoy your archaic games propped up by the incessant, insane nostalgia of Japan for an age when their games were actually relevant, if that's what you're into. Meanwhile, I'll be over here playing something that's actually
fun.
