Nice, always enjoy seeing DQ succeed.

I need to go back and finish it.

It's rough and not a looker for sure, but it was nice and fun and grindy.

 

[WestEgg]

Alright fine, I’ll pick this up soon.

 

[Yavga]

do we have an estimate for how many of these were sold in Japan versus other regions?

 

[Joedev]

I finally managed to finish this a few days ago. I had a lot of fun with it and would recommend it to those looking for something pokemon adjacent. I'm glad to see that it appears to be a success.

do we have an estimate for how many of these were sold in Japan versus other regions?

the game has sold 525k physical copies in japan, while being out of stock and hard to get since launch. with digital on top of that i think it's safe to say around 700-800k of the 1 million comes from japan.

oh, nice to hear! always glad when DQ does well. i wonder if the stock problems persist in japan and that’s why it has dropped so low on famitsu charts?

 

[StretchNStripes]

Not surprising that Japan sales made up a big chunk of the total, but still happy to see it sold well.
It’s a fun game! Not the most polished in looks or structure, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.

(Given my 100 hour playtime and complete “Pokedex”, I certainly got my money’s worth)
