I want you to introduce a Japanese translation

Stop forcing me to listen to your stupid in game music and sfx. There is zero purpose for you to force my other audio apps to shutdown when I open this app. I played DQ1-3 for hundreds of hours listening to audible and loved it. But now I CHOOSE to not to open DQ4 simply because my audiobook stops the moment I open DQ4. Please fix this.

My understanding is that the game itself is quite good. Sadly, it is hidden behind an imprecise and uncomfortable interface (seriously, iPad players prepare for thumb discomfort) with no controller support, and a cloud sync feature that never actually works. No escape to the iPhone version for these poor despairing thumbs.

Only on Chapter 2 so far and enjoying it lots. Nice leveling mechanics, well-made interface, charming characters, and finding the right strategies to pull off combat with different enemies is satisfying. Love it so far!

I originally played this on the NES. This is much worse. To add dialect and accent, they translated the Japanese to a language (such as Russian) and then translated THAT to English. So there are several idiosyncrasies that just fail, to the point of distracting from the charm of the game. I essentially bought this for Taloon’s chapter, but it just didn’t scratch that nostalgia itch due to the awful translation.
