>Mostly because I expected to see the full US release of DQ8 on mobile, not a shoddy port.
I knew it was going to be garbage as soon as I saw the trailer. Don't understand why anyone was surprised.
>I'm hoping that if we ever get a PC version of DQ8 (PS2 port) that some enterprising folk can hack in the voice acting and better soundtrack.
Just get the disc, pop it in, and play it on a PS2 emulator. It'll be better than whatever hackjob SE would provide.

Play Asia occasionally sees restock of it as well, though with the upcoming 3DS release (which won't be as high quality as the PS2 version - I've already done visual comparisons) SE has probably discontinued supply, at least temporarily.
In all honesty I'm certain they intentionally shortchanged the iOS/Android port so impulsive people would rush to buy it (mainly Japan due to DQmania), then 3DS version is superior to that so those people buy it again on 3DS. A/V will remain superior on NA PS2 version. In five years or so we'll see a remaster of the 3DS version on another system with all its new features and likely A/V matching the NA PS2 version.
It's all business. How many times can they get you to buy the same thing when the best was already done years ago?
