Dragon Questing continues

Yes Gamers, it appears to be true! Not only are we receiving one dragon quest in the second half of 08, but two seem to be on the menu. As many of you may or may not know, earlier this week Dragon Quest IV was given an american release date (September 18, 2008). And once again all of us Dragon Quest fans had reason to rejoice, and parade through the streets for several mintues with SPF 60 slathered across our sun deprived skin (or at least I did). But the good news did not stop there, just recently Dragon Quest IX was also given an a fourth quater release date (November 20th, 2008).

These two annoucements are amazing, considering that Dragon Quest Monsters sold quite poorly in America. Compared to other Monster Catching games that sold more then 1.4 million copies in its first week in America (4 times the amount of units that DQ: monsters joker sold in its life time). Some speculated that we would not see all of the upcoming Dragon Quest games in America because of the lack of interest. So to see two Dragon Quest games releasing so close together is just awesome! And perhaps, considering the way that both sell, we'll also see the release of DQ V and DQ VI for DS, whos release dates, as of right now, are TBA.

Which Dragon Quest game are you more excited about? Are you waiting to once again unite the heros of Dragon Quest IV and once again save the world from impending doom? All the while selling over priced / under effective weapons to unspecting villagers as Taloon the merchant? Building your team and the story chapter by chapter?

Or are you excited for Dragon Quest IX? The newest installment in the Dragon Quest Games, with all new characters and an all new epic battle? Are you interested in the games' two new battle systems? Seemingly having a turn based battle system and an action rpg battle system some how added into the mix?

Personally, I can't wait for either! I'll be playing Dragon Quest IV right up to the second Dragon Quest IX is released! Happy Gaming!

Scamming NPCS!
