Title: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: Rasix on October 08, 2013, 10:53:50 AM http://www.jp.square-enix.com/dqsp/
Not particularly psyched since it's not my favorite series, tbh. I finished 1, but every other one felt too damn grindy to bother. I probably only played parts of 3 others than the first. I'd give 8 another shot, but it really depends if Square continues with their high price/minimal effort port policy. And they almost never go on sale. :oh_i_see: Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: Rendakor on October 09, 2013, 02:15:08 PM I'm not a huge DQ fan but if the price is right (it won't be) I'll pick a couple up for my tablet.
Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: Ingmar on October 09, 2013, 02:16:22 PM I might be able to put up with this as a tablet experience. Although I've said that about other handheld JRPGs and been wrong.
Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: Velorath on October 09, 2013, 02:35:47 PM I'm not a huge DQ fan but if the price is right (it won't be) I'll pick a couple up for my tablet. If it's anything like the FF iOS games it'll probably be like $16 each. Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: Rendakor on October 09, 2013, 05:36:22 PM Right, that's too high for ports of old games.
Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: Ingmar on October 11, 2013, 12:49:20 AM Doesn't seem like a crazy price to me. Do we know if these are coming in English though?
Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: Velorath on October 11, 2013, 01:27:03 AM For a mobile game that's pretty pricey. That's around twice the cost of the latest Infinity Blade game. I actually bought the first two FF games on the iOS (recently noticed they're up to V now), and they aren't bad. In a vacuum $16 wouldn't seem like a bad price for them but nobody else is charging that much for iOS games and especially not for ports of games up to 25 years old.
Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: Ingmar on October 11, 2013, 03:04:12 PM To me the scale of the game is more important than the platform, and I'm not sure how much work goes into porting something like that, but I get the other perspective.

$20 and they stripped out the voice acting and sound track. Not going to bother, but mainly just for the price. I play most IOS games without any sound at all. Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: Rendakor on May 29, 2014, 11:48:29 AM A quick search on Google Play says they aren't out for Android yet. Is that $20 for one of them or all 8 (I know the answer but a man can dream)?
Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: luckton on May 29, 2014, 12:01:24 PM 8 is up on Play Store. Not seeing the others.

Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: luckton on May 29, 2014, 12:11:29 PM Ahh. It doesn't come up in the first ~50 results searching for Dragon Quest so I assumed it was iOS only. :uhrr: Yeah, new stuff takes time to populate. Also, I'll wait for a sale. Much love for DQ8, but without the voice-acting, this seems overpriced for it's age and direct 1 for 1 port. Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: schild on June 15, 2014, 11:34:02 PM That price. Lel
Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: Druzil on June 20, 2014, 10:04:56 AM I'd pay quite a bit to have my DQ collection all on PC, mobile not so much. Especially at that price.
They should have gone for Rocket Slime, that was a fun game that would actually play pretty well on a tablet. Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: luckton on August 09, 2014, 05:57:02 AM DQ IV has dropped. $14.99 for what is apparently a port of the Nintendo DS version of the game.
Title: Re: DQ 1-8 coming to IOS/Android Post by: luckton on September 16, 2014, 09:21:35 AM The original DQ 1 is out now. 2.99 is a fair price for history, me thinks.
