Seems that Square is having some effect on Enix, this must be the first DQ with good gfx

Indeed...we recall seeing similar screenies months ago...If they can use these graphics but maintain the same gameplay, puzzles, story and stuff from DQ7 this will definately be a winner

yeah, graphics was one of the main things that killed DW7 for me.

let's just hope that it makes it over here. From Raziel's shots this looks to be one very nice game. Unfortunately, not all these Japanese titles make it here to the "States" or even to Europe for that matter.

i have a feeling dragon warriors will make it over here from now on. they did release DW7 afterall, however, i have no idea how it sold in the states/europe. in japan, its supposed to be the highest selling game, i believe.

Yeah, DQ always sold better than FF, except for the DQVII, which sold well, but not as much as the others.

hard to tell..DQ7 made it, but the DQ4 remake did not
Hopefully they will indeed rethink...especially with Square's backing since Square fares better in the US

yeah, squaresoft is one of the nicer companies who doesn't forget about its english speaking fans. there aren't too many games that they didn't bring out on PSX. off the top of my head, i can think of one: Tobal2.
hopefully some of this will rub off with the Enix titles.
