Of course, there have been no localization announcements as of yet, but with the previous handheld remakes of the series having been brought overseas, the last two of which Nintendo localized themselves, there's good reason to expect this coming Stateside.

Sweet! I got the main titles on the DS and VIII. I don't have a 3DS yet, worthy to buy until it comes out hopefully.

YESSSSS! YES YES YESSSSS!!!
This is THE game in my childhood that I wanted to finish but never could because the CD was scratched to hell. (I got 40 hours into the first CD a few times)
I haven't got a 3DS yet, but THIS makes it so much sweater.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, since I know nothing about VII. Still, any chance to play a DQ title is a welcome one.

Isn't that the one for the PS1 where you spend hours and hours looking for puzzle pieces, the one that was so terrible it made little children quit in frustration? They're remaking THAT one?
OddRocker
Nope
That's the one the Japanese consider the best in the series
The reason that it never hit big in America is because it was way too hard and extremely long ( i think is like 60 hours run playthrough no side quests)

great game, i beat this on the PSX. I remember it took 110 hours to beat, and that was not counting the bonus stuff
