In principle, yes its a great idea, but the time needed!

Just supposing we had the time (I'm re-reading this and the tone of
this post is coming out more negative than I feel, like I said its a
great idea in principle)

I'd like to discuss some fundamentals first

What is this new DQ to be called, presumably DragonQuest itself is
TMed up to the hilt

I really love that stats in DQ, I don't propose changing them, but
some of the names may have to change to protect the innocent, ie - us.
 I'm thinking mainly of PS, MD and MA, the rest are obveous names for
the stats so we should be OK

What units are to be adopted? OK most players are in the US, but the
rest of us are now metric (even if reluctantly so in Britain (but our
pints are diferent from US anyway)).  The feel of Feet, Pounds etc is
nice and I'll be sorry to lose them, but I don't know if they mean
much to the various NZs, and Europeans.  Perhaps feed back from some
of them would be good

I think these should be sorted before going on to specific rules so
we're all taking the same language (although the money is a good
example of what we could acheive, so thanks for that)

Congratulations, I guess you have even less time now ;--)
