It's DeepVery Deep Dragon Quest games are never letdowns in the content department. If you plough ahead on your quest
You're looking at a 40hour walk
Give or take. But if you stop to really sniff at your surroundings
Complete the dozens of Quests laid out by townspeople
And explore every optional dungeon accessible through collectable treasure maps...well
Dragon Quest IX won't leave your Nin

And more to keep fans busy.

The editors didn't like
Only local multiplayer
Save system is cumbersome
Slow going at several points
Quite grindheavy at times
May leave those not interested in multiplayer out in the cold.
The Multiplayer Feature is Local Only It's great fun to team up and play through the world of Dragon Quest IX with good friends. Alas
You can't do so over Nintendo's WiFi
Only buddies who are sharing your personal space can journey with you
And they all require their own copies of the game
The Music is a Bit Dull Dragon Quest has always boasted a riveting score
But the music in Dragon Que
Clunky menu system
Requires some grinding.
Not enough personality
Can be a difficult game when played alone
Story takes too long to pick up
Very traditional
Almost too much for its own good
Puns
Puns everywhere
Multiplayer options limited to local WiFi.
No party member character development and some in-game text is a bit tiny. Cooperative multiplayer can only take place over local wireless
And not the Nintendo WiFi Connection. There’s only one save slot.

Abstract: Puhdasverinen JRPG alkaa olemaan jo harvinaisuus. Dragon Quest on kuitenkin sarjana pitänyt kiinni perinteistä jo kahdeksan osan verran. Mitä yhdeksäs muuttaa, vai muuttaako mitään? Onko muutokselle edes tarvetta?Pelien genremäärittelyt ovat aina hiema...
Abstract: Den klassiske japanske RPG-genre har stået stille meget længe, bortset fra nogle meget outrerede forsøg på nyskabelse, som aldrig rigtig er slået igennem. Senest så vi selveste Final Fantasy træde lidt ved siden af efter manges mening, og det har gener...
