You know, I realize that I haven't been lurking or posting frequently over the past three weeks, but that is in large part thanks to the game mentioned in the title. What surprises me, however, is that out of all of the DS-owning Square-Enix-loving members here, NOBODY has made a thread for this game!

HOLY CRAP WHY NOT

If you have a DS, and you have friends who have a DS, and you have ever played any DQ game and even remotely enjoyed it, and you have $35 to spare, you have to buy this game and then tell your friends to get it too.

It's seriously built like a micro-MMO. It's 1-4 players (after a certain point early in the story) and you'll eventually have access to treasure maps, which run like instances. Yes, you heard me, instances in your DS game. You can share items and maps and major awesome legacy boss battles. A lot of the amazing equipment comes late in the game, like... even post-game in a lot of cases. After beating the end boss (which I still haven't done), you gain access to 64 extra quests (over time, not all at once), not to mention all of the fresh downloadable content that's up on a DAILY BASIS.



So, for those of you who have it, let's talk.

The story so far... (the recap from pressing the Y button):
Upon making an offering of the fyggs, Lucas heard the voice of Celestria, daughter of Zenus, the Almighty Himself. She explained the She turned Herself into Yggdrasil to show Her father that there was good in mortal hearts, and has asked Lucas to protect the mortals from the evil Gittish Empire.
