E308: Dragon Quest IV screens, release date scare

Those looking forward to both Final Fantasy IV and Dragon Quest IV might have had a little scare earlier due to what seems to be a typo on the official release lists. DQIV, originally dated for September in the U.S., was on that list with a date of July 22 -- the same day as Final Fantasy IV. That's way too much IV for one week, but luckily, it appears to have been a typo. The official E3 press release for Dragon Quest IV still reads September 16, 2008. Whew. We're saved from hundreds of hours of battling in one week!

We still have Izuna 2 to deal with.

Of course, the kind of people who are going to buy Izuna 2 (all 9 of them) like all that battling. So that's okay, I guess.

Drool. Finally, after like 10 years we finally get an official version of DQ4. Please everyone buy it so they translate the new version of DQ5 that ...was just released in Japan?....as well.

Oops, damnit, getting my games mixed up, lol. The "official version" was for DQ5, silly me.
