Any of you yanks have G4?

They aired the Wolverine and Iron Man anime's end of July this year. No one caught it?

Stupid move making it online, its DQ, the most traditional JRPG ever. And how does an MMO that can be played offline even work. There are rumors of a subscription fee, but if there is offline who will pay?

It looks great regardless and will be an awesome Wii U launch game for the US (it only makes sense to do so, in fact dont even release the Wii version over here, yeah I said it )

Man, I wish Square would release some direct feed stuff after their unveil, some of the locations in the stream were beautiful despite the game's rough state but it was so low quality and fuzzy and the various uploads from other sources are even worse... I guess we'll have to wait for another week or so for the Dragon Quest Collection to be released with the trailer it includes...

And yeah I'm not gonna be paying a fee if they ask for one but allow you to play it offline by yourself like DQIX. Unless all my friends get it and it's cheaper than your average MMORPG. But that isn't happening. Hopefully it will be free in the West, like Monster Hunter, for the same reason (not as big series here).

I love how steel was the only calm dude on the gaf forums when the online thing hit. Everyone is freaking out and steel is just like "will wait for translation"

That's our Steel, the ever-present, ever-level-headed, calm and happy voice of reason!

Why is that?

Ahhhh... NOW I see why they are comparing Dead Island to Fallout 3!

^ Bozon's DQ Swords IGN review said, "It's the Wii Sports of what an RPG should be." That's my kind of RPG!

No. No. No. No... NO!

It sucks! TRUST me!

Half the time it doesn't even register your swings and strikes...

STAY AWAY! Don't say I didn't warn you Hamster!
