Seven minutes of Dragon Quest IX

Square Enix has finally started ramping up the promotion for a game that basically needs no promotion: Dragon Quest IX. With a new semi-open-ended structure and multiplayer gameplay, there's a lot of mysterious new content in this game -- even after Square Enix and Level-5 toned down the "new."The last half of this (seven-minute-long) new trailer focuses on the multiplayer mode, which adds a bit of the unexpected to the expected (the expected being a tavern lobby and multiplayer dungeons). You can see players taunting each other and dancing, and one player even demonstrates the ability to be a jerk to other players by setting pit traps. Classy. Check out the trailer after the break.

Sadly, it will be a while until the US gets their hands on a localized copy.

This will be my very first Dragon Quest game. Well, it will be once Square-Enix get around to announcing a Western release - which I'm assuming it's going to get.
Really excited anyway,

I'd suggest trying Dragon Quest V in the interim between now and IX. Or IV. Or VIII.

Looks sweet, sign me up for the give away.

I hope it has Wi-Fi, more gratuitous DBZ references, and a pre-order bonus worth the $39.99.
If anything, Luminous Arc 2 is currently the ONLY game worth the $39.99

Besides anything else, they really know they're way around the DS hardware judging by those graphics.
