Erdrick’s Sword is a first-print copy bonus in Dragon Quest VIII

A Western release of Dragon Quest VIII on the 3DS seems fairly likely by now, but nothing is confirmed quite yet. Japanese gamers, meanwhile, can look forward to playing the game quite soon. Square Enix announced today that first-print copies of the game will include a download code (valid until September 30th) for Erdrick’s Sword. Erdrick is a legendary hero mentioned through the series, especially in the earlier games.
