METACRITIC SCORE

1UP -- 100
DQIX is a subtly sophisticated game, and while it doesn't quite revolutionize RPGs it definitely pushes them forward.

NGamer UK -- 91
Life-consuming, epic entertainment. [July 2010, p.44]

Eurogamer -- 90
There's a childlike simplicity in its approach to story and systems that may put off older players who prefer complication and convolution. But Dragon Quest IX cleanses the palate with its straightforwardness, allowing the workmanship to shine, and its clutch of nested fairytales to inspire.

Nintendo Power -- 90
Dragon Quest IX is easily the boldest installment of the series's 24-year run. [Aug 2010, p.88]

GameTrailers -- 85
The core of Dragon Quest IX isn’t a drastic departure from past games, but the focus on social play has led to a wealth of new features, expanding the game with countless side quests, customization, and character depth. It’s a worthy successor for the franchise.

RPG Fan -- 83
It's a fun game with a cute story and a difficulty level that will welcome casual players. It also offers enough variability and special features to make JRPG fiends rejoice.

Games Radar (in-house) -- 80
Though certainly not a huge shift for the series, Dragon Quest IX has a near-perfect mix of classic JRPG style and grand (for the DS) visuals to make a great portable adventure.

VideoGamer -- 80
While clichéd, the story is entertaining, the battle system is refined and the visuals are impressive. It's very Dragon Quest. Even so, I can't escape the feeling that the game feels more like a spin-off; a stop gap on the way to a 'proper' sequel.

IGN -- 80
If you can look past the lack of character development and the overly simplistic battle system, Dragon Quest IX is really enjoyable and will keep players interested for many hours.

currently playing DQIX ang lupet!..released na siya sa market nabili ko sa dblitz marikina..9 hours na ko in game..wew!..

[Ronstera]

This is most likely the next DS game Im going to buy..

[edrian34]

ito ba yung Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies?

[squall_leonhart]

^^ yep

[edrian34]

thanks for the reply..

[Ronstera]

Currently playing it now, this game rocks.. I'm having fun creating party members.. Jobs are a bit lacking though but still considerable..

[jeibi]

game is awesome! 40hrs na ako sa sp sa mp around 60hrs. sarap laruin lalo na pag apat kayo. =)

[seven11]

hahaha masaya sya in the simplest of ways.
takes me back to the rpg renaissance during the snes era.

just got the seven dragonbal..... i mean the seven fyggs,
looks like it'll be a few more hours to finish.

anong lineup nyo? i'm cheap when it comes to skills
that uses MP kaya i opted for 0 cost ones:

1) Fist Martial Artist
2) Claw Paladin
3) Boomerang Ranger
4) Bow Sage

[Ronstera]

Ako ang lineup ko is:
Main Character: Warrior
Priest/Sage
Armamentalist
Paladin

Warrior lang yung MC ko kasi I like the warrioir's armor, yung armor na suot nung bida sa intro movie.. Pinaka time consuming dito hindi yung mismong story eh, yung farming ng weapons and armors..

[jeibi]

ako gamit ko..
main ranger bow
priest spear
mage
martial artist

yung spear pang metal slimes..

[seven11]

Natapos na rin!

one of the best classic rpgs i've ever played. deserving sya sa high scores na nakuha nya.
ayos yung online, new maps and armors to DL, as well as the ad hoc multiplayer.

.........

changed the lineup a bit for the final area, went with more damage, less defense...

1. Fist Gladiator that can change to Sword Gladiator for bosses;
(cheap 0mp multifist for regular enemies)
2. Claw Gladiator
3. Boomerang Paladin that can switch to Bow Paladin for bosses
4. Bow Sage (for that 0mp hallowed arrow skill, that gives 20mp back)

..........

mukhang kalbong aguilus si aquila

[Ronstera]

@seven LOL classic imba lineup yan ah, glad-glad-paladin-sage or priest.. Yan nga daw ang most effective combination sa grottoes.. Tumigil na ko dito last week eh pero sobrang worth it talaga bilhin yung game, nakakaubos ng oras..

[Acid Rhain]

waa may ganitong thread pala
as of now, ito pa rin favorite rpg ko sa DS, ganda ng gameplay

ito lineup ko eh

1. Sword Paladin
2. Claw Martial Artist
3. Wand Sage
4. Staff Priest

[qattz]

isa pa naman yun sa favorite RPG ko sa PS2

[Daniel]
