As you know by now I don't update this site anymore.  I'm sorry about it but I've been putting more attention to my Dragonball Z site.  I don't think I'll update very much any more if at all but I'll try to get in the big news if possible.

September 09, 2000  DQVII out in Japan.
After a very long while Dragon Quest VII is finally out in Japan.  And it seems that it is being well received.  Check these scores from Famitsu (out of 10):  9, 10, 10, 9.  Those scores are very good especially coming from Famitsu.  Also, check out this sales list.

DQVII is outselling the next game ten times over!  I'm just emphasizing that this game is hot in Japan right now and for good reason.  Japanese gamers crave DQ and it's been a long time since there's been one.  I wonder how it'll do in North America though.  I hope it does well and I also hope to play it too.
