New scan shows some of Dragon Quest Swords' swords
Some gameplay details about Dragon Quest Swords have trickled out in the form of this Jump magazine scan and the accompanying NeoGAF thread. It seems that you'll be able to upgrade your sword during your adventure, which in itself is not a surprise, given the title of the game (it's not Dragon Quest Sword, after all). The swords themselves are cool enough to be noteworthy, as is the method of upgrading. You collect elements on your journey (the fire/ice sense of "elements" more than the molybdenum sense) and take those to a blacksmith to have swords forged. Those swords, then, naturally, have elemental attacks. Also, you gain the ability to have a freaking cool-looking sword. We've posted the scan after the break.
New screens from Dragon Quest Swords
While what we really want are closer impressions of the intriguing character designs, we'll take whatever screenshots we can get from Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors, because we eat RPGs like sweet, sweet candy. Behind the jump, we have loads of screens for you -- check 'em out! As an aside ... wtf, isn't that bridge in Lufaise Meadows? It looks like a place we may have lain, all corpsified and angry.
Dragon Quest Swords trailer revealed
Over at Square-Enix's Japanese site, we find the main page for Dragon Quest: Swords. And by going through that, one may stumble upon a newly-released trailer for the game. In the trailer, we receive a short intro speech followed by some artwork of the game's characters being shown and, well ... we don't want to ruin the whole thing for you, so we suggest you go check it out. [Thanks creamsugar!]
Screenshot explosion: Dragon Quest Swords
A whole slew of new screens for Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors have surfaced over at French gaming site Jeux-France. The images, which showcase in-battle scenes and cutscene dialogue, present a new light on the game, showing us some more of enemies we'll no doubt encounter, as well as presenting the overall experience in a much more favorable light. Of course, now that we've received some new images, it'll be that much longer before we get any more, so be sure to give these a thorough look.
Dragon Quest Swords boss fight
Coming from Nintendo World 2006, the embedded video of a boss fight with a rather angry knight has us thinking Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors might not be that bad. Sure, we thought it was a bit gimmicky and the novelty would run out rather quickly when first presented with the idea, however seeing it in action has made us rethink our previous assumptions. How about you?
