I played VII back in the days but haven't finished it yet, I remember it being a little bit hard (puzzles-wise), or may be I'm imagining things. Definitely wanna play it, as well as VIII. I hope S-E would release VI next year as well, because as much as I'm anticipating the English release of IX I still want another entry! You can't get enough of DQ, simply.
Work _does_ kill your time, but because I simply do nothing at work I have the ability to play any handheld game in there. That's why I'm excited for DQ9 being a handheld release. I think I don't have the time nor the patience to sit and watch the TV for 6 hours, while I can do it with a handheld because gaming > working anytime of the day
