So Dragon Quest IX was released today. I have it, and have decided to post my first impressions as I go along. Joy.
0:00 Nice, well detailed opening sequence. As expected of a Square Enix game. This leads me to the title screen.
0:03 Character creation is simply done. I have created Issus. A tall, purple haired hero.
0:07 So, I'm a celestrian. I guard a town called angel falls. People pray to me. It's pretty awesome. I also had my first fight, but all I could do was attack. My party guest did most of the work.
0:09 I help people, I get benevolessence. Which I offer to the great tree, Yggdrasil.
0:11 Over world controls are simple enough. Y opens up the story so far, X the menu, A interacts with stuff and B allows me to perform Emotes.
0:15 These angels seem a bit high and mighty. Not a humble one in the bunch.
0:20 So we exist to praise the tree until it bears fruit. Apparently, it's really powerful fruit.
0:40 So I've spent some time wandering around the village I protect. Most people believe I exist, but there are some atheists. I go around and solve their problems. Can't use the shop though, because the shopkeeper can't see me. I want a new weapon dammit!
0:45 It seems I also help the dead find peace. The first one was easy, I just had to tell him he was dead. But I bet the next few won't be as simple.
0:55 And there we go. A giant calamity has happened and I'm now back in the mortal realm. I get treated to a nice cinematic and the open credits. Must be the end of the prologue. I'll come back again with a full review another time.
