Hum, DQ8 made a good effort in updating the series without crapping all over tradition. It's a shame this effort will be wasted by moving the main series to a handheld.

Oh well in the state the DQ series was in before VIII makes it a well suited RPG for a handheld.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The more I learn about this game the more I can't help but think management is behind this one. For all purposes this game is taking the series in a different direction enough to be a spin-off game, but DQ spin-off games have traditionally not done well when compared to the titles in the main series.

This has Final Fantasy XI written all over it.

What elements from DQ8 can't be ported to a smaller media? The voice? (which, btw, is the best VA work ever)
To put it simply, the grand scale that was DQ8. There is no way they are going to be able to create such a deep and immersive game on a platform with limited media storage, tiny 2-inch screens and at best headphones for sound. Plus the games is already showing signs of being a watered down DQ8. The platform itself is going to dictate it to be a pick-up and play type game rather than a game you can sit down with for hours and the online aspect just further supports this theory.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
