Played Dragon Quest IX?: Fun Facts about Japan

Here is today’s Fun Facts about Japan

Dragon Quest IX causes disturbance on net.



Dragon Quest IX was finally released on 11th July 2009 after several postpone since 2007.

Postponed by a system bug, many fan waited the release with huge expectation.
Contrary to fans expectation, evaluations given by the user are wide in variety, criticism to prize. Evaluation on Dragon Quest IX is a big controversy over net in Japan.

What brought such a controversy?
One possible reason is the postpone of release. Dragon Quest IX was supposed to be released in 2007, but post postponed onto October 2008, but again it was postponed to March 2009, and again postponed 11th July 2009. So it was postponed fore times, 2007 to October 2008, to March 2009, July 2009. These postpone seem to have made the fans disappointed and raise expectation at the same time.

At each postpone, there were system changes from the first announce. At first, it was announced that the game system will be action RPG and playable with friends on wii, but it was changed to battle style RPG and only can played wireless with friends which means that friends must stay gathered.

My personal conclusion, the game is crap. The expectations of the fans were too big, so it appealed crap. But first of all, as you can see from the postpone, the project plan was a crap. Sound like the company just wanted to release game because they wanted to make news and money. That’s why the plan and schedule were overlaid.
