I've only played maybe an hour but I wouldn't describe it as hard? What I am noticing is the glaring differences in the setting from the basic dragon quest setting.
The most obvious one is the churches are in worship of the almighty rather than the goddess.

why would you play strange journey? It's so boring.

according to an faq, you're likely to have less than 400 skill points before the end boss

Did anyone do this? Am I somehow harming my ability to enjoy the game by seeing if I will somehow make my characters all unplayable before I know the impact of my decisions?

Thoughts within the first 20 minutes:
-No way to speed up text? Booooooooooo!
-There really ought to be a compromise with the graphical battle system. It wouldn't kill them to add a menu option that turns long battle animations off. It seems that DQ has permanently moved in a flashier direction, and I'm still not very happy with it.
-This game is pretty. By zooming out and lowering the attempted detail a smidge, it eliminates most of the pixelation that plagued DQM:J. I have yet to see how most of the world really looks.
-The Celestrians talk like stupid people think smart people talk. "The humans can't see we Celestrians," and us Celestrians can't speak English good, can us?
-I have a profile? And I can wave to people? I'm not sure if all this makes me happy or sad that I'll never find anyone to play it with. |
I share all these thoughts. At least the loading times are short.
It feels strange for a JRPG to let me define the way a character looks and to have equipment alter their appearance.
My greatest concern has been the elimination of exploration (Unless I am allowed to find secret places later in the game.)

Huh? I haven't had that experience. The game plays just as smoothly for me whether I have 4 people or 1 person in my party.

I would say DQ9 is about on par with DQ5 but no where near as bad as DQ4 re: translation accents.
