RIP Toriyama. He may not have influenced it quite as much as Dragon Ball, but his art gave Dragon Quest so much of its charm, and IX in particular means a lot to me.

DQ9 Remake (hypothetical)

I'm sure a lot of us would like to see a Dragon Quest IX remake, at some point, but what would we actually want from it? Graphical improvements are given, unless they give the job ILCA, but what else? Should stuff be added? What stuff? Should it be faithful in every way to the DS original? Your thoughts please.

Please comment/reblog with your thoughts, and anything else you'd like to see.

Published:  Feb 17, 2023    

My dragon quest 9 hero. Yes she has my name. Last time I drew her was 2018. I'm now lv99 +1 in my main class (martial artist) and have sunk so many hours into skill points for the other classes so I now have over 100 MP as the class that has next to no MP. I've been playing on the same profile since I was 10. Back in 2011. Starts out with eyes starrier than the skies. Beat the game in 2013. Over the next 10 years (300 hours of gameplay), she became more of an adventurer and slightly jaded as she realises how messed up everything was for her (remember the goretress). She really misses her wings and halo, especially since she realises that she's spent longer without them than with, but the fake halo somewhat fills that void, but not enough. Celestrian yeeted from the observatory by the lightning storm. Misses her wings and halo. And she is the reason why my main OCs have pink pigtails.

Name: Sacksquatch

Debut: Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

Look! It's a burlap sack! I don't know what it is about burlap, but I love when a creature is made of it. It just feels right. I think scarecrows establish that burlap is destined to become a creature, and we all know that scarecrows walk around at night and when no one is looking, stealing crops from rival farms to use for bartering with birds.

So why shouldn't non-scarecrow burlap be able to come to life, too? It just makes sense! The one improvement I have in mind for Sacksquatch is that it does not contain potatoes, my preferred thing for a burlap sack to contain.

Instead, it contains sand, because it is a Sandbag! The kind you use to batten down the hatches (I am not using that phrase correctly), or to lighten your hot air balloon, or a whole bunch of things. I'm sure it can be nice to hug one if there's no one else around, or even if there are people around who you like less than a sack of sand. Sacksquatch in particular is said in one game to be from a factory, and in another to be from a construction site. The implied branching timeline of Sack Of Sand!

Here is the funny sack in its debut on the DS! It debuted as a bonafide Monster, an enemy to get in your way and be fought, and this rough-textured ruffian just loves to blow sand in heroes' eyes to temporarily blind them. That is VERY rude, but I can't be mad at it. What else is a leaking sack of sand to do? Drop a grand piano on you? This is just what they do!

As with most Dragon Quest monsters, Sacksquatch would appear in Dragon Quest Monsters games, where it can be YOUR friend! Will you welcome it? It will probably sprinkle sand in your undergarments for a giggle, but that's probably how it shows affection! And in the recent DQM3, if you fuse it with a killer hymenopteran...

You get the all-new Saccharine Sacksquatch! I know this looks like cheese, but it is honey! Unlike gray sand, honey is a substance which I am actively a fan of. Saccharine Sacksquatch is a strange concept! I would not think to fill a burlap sack with honey (and I would not eat honey from a sack), but it is certainly more striking than if it was full of oats or dirt or something. These sacks love to eat honey and try to raid the nests of killer bees, but I think a perfect solution would be for it to allow some regular bees to nest within its body. A sack full of bees! Don't squeeze it! I like to think it would be able to taste any honey it contains.

Sacksquatch makes a small cameo in Dragon Quest Builders 2, where it is the icon for Faerie Fertilizer. Though made of bones, petals, and dirt, the description calls it "manure", so I will not be including the image. Just in case. Perhaps an unwholesome appearance, but I appreciate it. Compost Is Cool!
