Dragon Quest IX’s Localization Looks Something Like This

[moogling]

Along with the July 11 release date, Nintendo sent out the first batch of English Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies screenshots.

While story screenshots aren’t in the batch, the item descriptions are flavored with puns like “driller pillar” and extra “u”s. Seems like the localization team is sticking to the Dragon Quest standards established for the Nintendo DS remakes.

Nintendo is also localizing Dragon Quest IX’s downloadable quests, which players can access over Nintendo Wi-Fi. One of these, released last year in Japan, features Santa Claus.

Can't wait for it. Everything about it looks promising... minus a few aspects here and there which I wasn't quite pleased about in mostly all of the Dragon Quest games, buuuuut I do rant a lot, so I guess finding flaws is just in my nature.

Regardless, Dragon Quest has always been a series that, albeit me finding it extremely hard to take seriously at times, I love to death.

Let's hope this is as good as it looks. Honestly Dragon Quest is still what's making me have hope in Square.
