Fun fact: Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies is my first foray into the series. This is made even weirder by my general dislike of turn-based role-playing games. Something about it -- most likely the jolly presentation -- grabbed my attention.
I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I sure as heck don't know anyone nearby who owns Dragon Quest IX. Considering how much effort was put into making its multiplayer compelling, this is an issue. Thankfully, that's nothing a few in-store events can't (temporarily) remedy.
- July 31: Select GameStops will throw a DQ meet-up, while most stores will offer the "Zoma" map
- August 7: Select Best Buy locations will have the "Estark" map
- August 7 to September 19: Select malls will have the "Malroth" map and hold sampling events for the game
Treasure maps can be obtained through Tag Mode, which is accessed at the Quester's Rest Inn in Stornway. Details on which store locations are participating in these Dragon Quest shenanigans can be found by clicking here.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

But what's this about exclusive maps?
Does this mean that if I don't buy the game and go to Gamestop on the day of 31st, I'll be missing out on this Zoma game content... forever?
That really doesn't sit well with me...
Will the map simply be unlocked on the cart?
@ Antwhan- yes (also, as PappaDukes said above)
