@ReaderRagfish X probably wont be localised ever. At the speed SquareEnix does ANYTHING, I'd be impressed if it doesn't take Nintendo funding it to make it happen, like with 7 and 8 on 3DS, and DQ Builders on Switch among other things.

@Knuckles-Fajita Nintendo might as well just buy the rights to the Dragon Quest series in the west. From what I remember, after V came out on DS, Square just said "Screw this!" and left Nintendo to deal with the rest, with only a few exceptions. I remember reading in Nintendo Power before IX came out that Satoru Iwata himself took it upon himself to try and make it more successful in the west.

@ReaderRagfish And now Square has said, nah DIY.

...I just want a new Fortune Street game on a Nintendo system. TwT

@Joeynator3000 The sweet return of Business Slime.

"A Slime draws near. Command?"

buy stocks

...Seriously though, I loved that game back on the Wii...it was awesome. And yeah, I have the iOS version, but...the whole Mario x DQ thing was nice. Loved the Mario remixes. (wasn't really a fan of DQ)

@Joeynator3000 There are quite a few Fortune (Itadaki) Street games out there. But, surprise surprise, only one of them was localized. And now that I think about it, the series has been a bit quiet in Japan as well since then.

Two of them, actually, the Wii version and the mobile one. lol
Yeah, I don't even think the PS4 one was localized. It's annoying...

Hopefully recreating a version in RPG Maker is possible. lol

@ReaderRagfish: Interesting, because it's my gateway as well! I intentionally don't know a lot about V (mainly to avoid plot spoilers), but I do know that many consider it to be one of the best DQ games. I recently picked up VIII as well, but it'll be some time before I start it.

Also, +1000 on the rant. My sentiments exactly.

In other news, I'm finally back home. I have the weekend to recover and catch up on house stuff, then it's back to the grind on Monday....

@Tyranexx I won't spoil anything, but yeah, it's a good one. The thing I like about Dragon Quest is that they're all similar and consistently high quality, but they each have one or two unique features that make them stand out from each other so you don't feel like you're just playing the same game every time.

@Joeynator3000 Oh yeah, I forgot that the mobile one was localized. And afterwards we never heard from them again.

Yeah, I was sure a 3DS version would happen after the Wii game...nope...no Switch version either. sighs
Would've been nice to make our own boards and stuff, too...oh well.

I have been watching the Nanny on prime video (they removed it from netflix...)

Since they don't have the Latin American dub I've been watching it in English instead. It's been quite interesting.

....In other news.

She has that look again.

@ReaderRagfish: Duly noted! I first became interested in the series when a former coworker really talked it up to me; DQ is, hands down, his favorite RPG series.

The "I will stare into your soul until you bow to me, human" look?

@Yosheel
"I have been watching the Nanny on prime video "

Did you know what country that make me hungry ?
Hungary ! (Based on one episode on The Nanny)

@Tyranexx The "I'm gonna be a pain in the butt tonight" look.
...But of course, after posting this everywhere, she just sleeps in the living room for the night. lol

fran drescher used to be hot.
you know it

Fran Drescher is still younger than my Mom.
My Mom is probably as old as Shigeru Miyamoto on this year (I don't really remember my Mom's age).

@Anti-Matter But you remember Miyamoto's age?

@Joeynator3000 My cat loves being a pain in the butt, but only when it's inconvenient. If I'm on my way out the door or about to go to bed, she'll run after me and bite my ankles and go "MEOW PET ME HUMAN". But if I'm home all day and have nothing to do, she's nowhere to be found. Funny how that works.
