Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (ドラゴンクエストVI 幻の大地, Doragon Kuesuto Shikkusu Maboroshi no Daichi?, lit. "Dragon Quest VI: Land of Illusion"), Dragon Quest: Realms of Reverie in Europe, is a console role-playing game developed by Heartbeat and published by Enix (now Square Enix) for the Super Famicom as a part of the Dragon Quest series. It is the last Dragon Quest game in the Zenithia trilogy. It was released on December 9, 1995 in Japan. This installment in the series was developed by Heartbeat, whereas the previous Dragon Quest games were developed by Chunsoft. In July 2007, Square Enix announced a series of remakes of Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen, Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride and Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation for the Nintendo DS, making this the first remake of the latter game on other consoles. It was also announced that the title will be released in North America for the first time on February 14, 2011.

Plot :
Dragon Quest VI opens as the Hero, Milly, and Carver approach Murdaw, the demon king’s castle. After Milly summons a dragon, the party enters the castle and comes face to face with Murdaw. Overpowering the trio, Murdaw appears to destroy each member of the party. The Hero wakes up in Weaver's Peak, and cannot remember anything before the fight with Murdaw. Tania, a small girl from Weaver's Peak, insists that he is her brother.On his way to Somnia Castle, where information on Murdaw can be found, the Hero stumbles into a strange portal which brings him to another unfamiliar town. However, no one can see or hear him. After finding a similar portal, the Hero reaches Somnia and meets Soldi, the leader of Somnia’s army, and Carver, who appears not to remember the Hero. To defeat Murdaw, they learn, they need the Mirror of Ra. The Hero and Carver discover another portal, which brings them to Port Haven, another town they can neither be heard nor seen. Milly, also appearing to have lost her memory, does see them and helps them become visible.

Gameplay :
Dragon Quest VI is a traditional, turn-based RPG (in an overhead perspective) which features random battles and a character class system that the Hero and his party members acquire new skills and spells. The Hero travels around the world gathering a party throughout his adventure. To progress in the story, the party must defeat specific boss monsters or trigger specific flags. In order to defeat the bosses, the player must spend time training the party by gaining experience points from battles to advance in character and class levels.Other new features were added to the series, such as the monsters being animated when they attack.The Slime Arena and Best Dresser Contest were new mini-games introduced; the casinos return from previous Dragon Quest games. Like previous games, mini medals can be found hidden throughout the worlds and can be traded for items. There are bonus dungeons and a few extra characters after beating the main storyline. There are day and night system, as in some previous installments; instead, only certain storyline events happen at night. While the Monster Master class can catch monsters in the original Super Famicom version it is not a major part of the game. Another returning feature from the past two games is the use of the wagon, which allows characters to be swapped out for other ones on the world map.

Another DQ game for DS, let's hope this will be as good as the previous releases.For any dumping news about this game, make sure to check Ds-Scene or GBATemp, and if there any early leaks, pretty sure you can find it on the Share section.Oh, and please don't mistake this as the download thread.

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011More RPG Maker action....

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011Is time for waiting my favorites games since SNES version! ;D

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011I kept hearing that this game came out in the US in '09. O.o

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011It was probably slated to come out in '09, but then never got an actual release date. Then it got bumped into the TBA category for ages. It took until the end of 2010 to see any sign of the third game in the trilogy to hit the US.Wouldn't it have been ironic if the remake didn't make it to the US? That would have totally destroyed one of the points of remaking the games. One of the core reasons was so that there would be a recent version to localize for English speaking audiences to enjoy. The fact it took so long is astounding.

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011are u thinking about the translation maybe? i found one not long ago but still didnt play the game wanted the english release :D

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011I hope this will be dumped today! ;D

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011Totally pumped for this game :). I'm waiting for my cousin to get out of school so we could both pick it up.

Oh. Well I found multiple accounts that it did come out in '09. And the US release was in a top 10 games of 2010 list. O.o So I don't know.

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011The game probably will come with AP, so 'im thinking some release group is trying to develop an AAP to the rom. if the game is good, im probably going to buy, but im also trying to save money for a 3DS T_T life's so cruel D=

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011After watching the review on GT I think this seems like a no brainer buy. 40+ hours main quest with untold amounts of side quests also the sprites in battle look sick. Sign me upDidn't even know this was coming out I completely missed it.

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011Want it badly. NAO.

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011

Replying to #12

me too :/
I hope they will dump it tonight

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011I know we'll get this dump for free and stuff but I have to say I missed the old days when we get dump of games really fast, most of time before the actual game was released. I understand, though, DQ6 may have AP stuff and that's why it gets time to we have the ROM: they are trying to crack the ROM before release it on the scene.

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011Well we got DQ9 early, and I think DQ5.Don't know what's taking long, but last time something took long it came pre-patched ready to play.

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011looking forward to this! :D

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011I find something about this Rom dump by VENOM. but the link download look like fake.

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011The VENOM dump going around is a fake dump. It isn't pre'd or anything. Sometimes it is just the (J) ROM, other times it's The Grinch translated one, but none are the official (U) release yet.Most will say something along the lines of: Dragon_Quest_VI_Realms_of_Revelation_(U)_VENOM_v2Those are fake, fake, fake.

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011Sadly my gamestop didn't have this one. Did not download venoms because i would trust this site would have it before or during.

Re: Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (U) | February 14, 2011After going to my local gamestop they did not have it. I was unable to get any info when I asked if it even shipped yet and when they expected it. I wonder if this means bad new for the dumb?
