Is that really a DS game? Dragon Quest IX TGS trailer impresses

Ah, that music -- that glorious music. It’s like comfort food to me.

Last week during TGS, Square Enix showed off a new trailer for upcoming DS game Dragon Quest IX. For some reason it was not released to the public, leading me to push a few old ladies into mud puddles. Luckily, someone broke the rules and decided to record the trailer and post it on the Internet. Yay, hooligans!

Since the surprising reveal a couple years back that Dragon Quest IX would be a Nintendo DS exclusive, DQIX has gone from a heavily multiplayer, Secret of Mana-esque game to slowly morphing back to its traditional, turn-based RPG roots. While news on how the almost finished game actually plays is still unknown, there can be no argument that this leaked trailer is absolutely stunning. I may go so far as to say the game has the best graphics of any DS game to date. Just look at those gorgeous visuals! *swoon*

Let us know what you think of the trailer. Do you agree that it looks amazing or have you seen better on the Nintendo DS? How excited are you for Dragon Quest IX? I, for one, can’t wait!
