Talk:Dragon Quest IX

message: It's way too early to begin writing about the next main Dragon Quest game, especially at the rate they've been arriving since VII. Let's hold off on this article until we get some concrete details or even confirmation that the game is under way. 65.10.61.17 August 17th, 2006 20:32 UTC
: This article doesn't really qualify for speedy deletion, and I think it's useless to drag this article through deletion process. It'd probably better to turn this to redirect to Dragon Quest until the game materialises, or let it remain as a stub. There's no harm in keeping the article as a redirect until then. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 21:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  "mid '07" is likely mistranslation of "2007年中". Although 中 has a meaning "middle", correct interpretation is suffix usage 'during, in the course of, throughout', i.e. just 'in 2007', not 'middle of 2007'. --Kusunose 23:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: TBA 2007

message: has pictures of the game media on two cards.  Is this real information, if it is, is it worth putting on the article?
No, it is fake. First of all, to actually have the finished cartridge ready would mean that the game is already finished, which is obviously not the case. Also, the cartridges themselves are exact copies of each other with the exception of the obviously photoshopped cartridge numbers.

thread_title:  Media for game 

message: I was reading this page, and I ran across this sentence: "Dragon Quest IX is known to begin in a kingdom where angels reside, and the player is made to believe that the protagonist created by them is one of these angels."  The end of this sentence is confusing, and should be re-written.  I still do not even know what it was intended to mean.  Is the protagonist created BY the angles?  Did the Protagonist create the angles himself?  I don't know.  It needs re-wording, if I'm confused, others are too.  74.105.77.13 (talk) 14:40, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot confusion 

message: I think it's rather important to this article to note that when this game was initially shown At Jump Festa 2007 it was an action/rpg, but because of rumored fan outcries by the time of it's second showing at Tokyo Game Show 2008 it was changed back to the traditional turn-based RPG that the series has always been.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.185.60 (talk) 06:34, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that it's relevant. I'm not sure if it was because of fan outcry.陣内Jinnai 08:22, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Development History 

message: ign now has an official English title and given this is a flagship title, the likelyhood of not seeing an English release is all but minuscule. Should we move it to there or redirect for now? the release date is now 2010.陣内Jinnai 22:20, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: IGN's reliable, right? In that case, move it; it might be a good idea to wait for more sites to call it that (I didn't look so maybe they already are) though.EVAUNIT-666 11:57, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well basically wanted to know if we should wait for more sites. The only other name I've seen is Protectors of the Starry Sky, but those sites admit it is a literal translation.陣内Jinnai 16:36, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not go ahead create the title and rediect here for the mean time? Ottawa4ever (talk) 15:24, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Redirects from Starry Sky and Sky should be done here until we know which one, if any, are official translations.陣内Jinnai 21:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Side Quests

message: Does the multiplayer require the other players to also have a copy of the game? That sounds like vital information to include.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.17.251.213 (talk) 21:19, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: For anyone who's wondering what "Iwata Asks" is, it's a video series in which Satoru Iwata (president of Nintendo) interviews Yūji Horii (creator and head designer of the Dragon Quest series) and Ryutaro Ichimura (producer for Dragon Quest IX) about Dragon Quest IX and the history of the Dragon Quest series. It looks like it would be a pretty good source for various Dragon Quest related articles. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 01:41, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Iwata Asks 

message: In the intro (last sentance); Dragon Quest IX set a Guiness World Record surpassing 100 million people communicating anonymously as reported on May 20th, 2010 [3]. Is this nintendo DS customers who are using the DS and the game helped achieve this level?, Im a bit confused by the statement and for that matter the source supplied for it. If anyone could clairfy it, much appreciated. Thanks Ottawa4ever (talk) 21:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  100 million? 

message: Currently, the article uses English translations of Japanese names. IMO the article should be updated to also include localized names and untranslated Japanese names. I've added some localized terms. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yea it should.陣内Jinnai 03:29, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

text: The ability to exchange treasure maps with others has allowed the game to act as a catalyst for more social interaction. Patty's Pub*Quester's Rest*, an inn from the game, has opened as a tourist destination in Akihabara after the release of this game to help facilitate this by having known meet-up locations where players can exchange treasure maps, specifically one particular map where _characters who once during normal gameplay appear_ (makes no sense). As of 2010, people would make Akihabara a tourist destination when visiting Tokyo just to get a valuable map.
Obviously the "Cultural Impact" section wasn't updated since before the NA launch of the game, since all its data is about the JP launch.  Did DQIX have a cultural impact outside of Japan?  Is dressing your character up really a key moment for the feminist movement?  
What say you?

thread_title:  Name cleanup 

message: Apparently the article states that the main character is male but you create the caracter to be male or female and you could not change the clothes until you gain in level.

message: There was no valid reason to move it, someone just didn't like have to type in the actual name of the game. It's standard to have movie and game articles to have the subtitle in the article name because it's part of the actual name. I think a formal move request should be made and have it back to the name the article had been at for 6 years (which is also the worldwide English name of the game). 67.253.250.154 (talk) 02:05, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
