Dragon Quest X, if DS's version is successful(outside of Japan obviously :lol ) will go to Wii. It's not a PS3 leap, but it's a pretty big boost over DQ8's visuals/technical aspects on PS2.
It makes you shudder. PSP is now dead. Square-Enix should have just taken the tombstone and put it over the manufacturing plant.

There's no doubt in my mind that it will go to the Wii. SE has proven today that they'll put the game on the system with the largest userbase, which certainly is not a bad business decision by any means; if the PSP was a success and had sold 12 million units in Japan you better believe it would be announced for that system - and many people probably wouldn't be complaining too much.
Final Fantasy=PS3
Dragon Quest=Nintendo

Unless you want me to believe that the DS is going to be pumping out full voice acting and an orchestral score - yeah I can tell this right now.
*Yes, I know those things weren't in the Japanese version of DQ8, but it's one of the things that made DQ8 so engrossing for me.

I'm not sold on the A-rpg aspect at all.
DQ should stick to tradition damnit :/
And yeah, I'd prefer it to be on a more powerful system...but eh it's still DQ and I'll bite.

based on what?
IF a future DQ goes to a home console, its more likely to be the PS3 IMO. Just because S-E doesn't want to give everything to Sony, doesn't mean they want to go back to the old days of Nintendo screwing them over.
Most likely they already decided to do something on portable to tide them over while they do a home console version. If so, DS is a no-brainer. But Wii is a stretch

listen to the mad man
While Enix is announcing stuff for DS, where's my ****ing Actraiser you shitheads?

:lol :lol I am loving the fanboys claiming gaming is doomed. It seems Dragon Quest might be a deadlock for Nintendo platforms this gen.
Oh man this news is AWESOME! This is a total fanboy meltdown. Who the hell could've prophesized that they'd have the balls to move the main series onto a handheld even in light of Dragon Quest traditionally going to the platform with the largest install base. Well I guess the game will be cool, certainly a completely different direction then I thought it was going to be. I'm willing to give it a shot, Im not one to give up on a series simply because it changes focus. Graphically it looks superb for the DS and the gameplay could be fun, who knows.
Oh and the DQ swords art is cool. I feel for Toriyama since he CAN'T change his style due to its popularity and it being a staple of the comic industry. Really cool to see him finally say "screw it" and branch out.
EDIT: I edited because it seemed I was hurting people's feelings.

Okay, so I've gathered that DQIX is an ARPG coming to the DS, and I've seen the videos and pictures....
is there some gameplay details out that I've missed? This thread is a beast and I haven't been able to check it all out.
Also, HOLY SHIT!

I have similar feelings but I think it's going to be a long while before we see the kind of depth and quality of PS3 games from Japanese developers as we saw on PS2 (which was already pretty amazing as of 2001). Like someone else said the early launch of 360 has given a lot of western devs a jump start and even some Sony specific devs (Insomniac, Naughty Dog) seem to be much farther ahead at this point.dark10x said:

Holy crap that looks like it could be amazing! Must see gameplay video of crazy peeps hired to show controlsking zell said:

gamergirly said:DAMN!
Okay, so Final Fantasy is Sony's and now Dragon Quest is Nintendo's. 1/2 split of Square-Enix for each company is what it's looking like
I have to ****ing get a DS now! Whoever is denying themselves just isnt a gamer :lol
well, it depends. dont forget FFTA for GBA, FF12RW and FFCC for DS, FFCC2 for Wii.
not the main series but good games still

No, I think that's Swords. Even then, that's a big wow. Way better than anything else we've seen for Wii so far.Draft said:

Sony gets Final Fantasy main games and spinoffs and DQ spinoffs, Nintendo gets Dragon Quest main games and spin offs and FF spinoffs. Guarantee it.
Microsoft gets the obscure SE franchises.

Let's run away together, you and me and DQ IX! If there's two other non-haters in this thread they can come with us and we'll all play co-op together.

I'm just here to watch the trainwreck. This could go either way really. I'm just hoping it ends up being a good game.

Looks pretty badass... words "on rails" has me scared though :/... what kind of RPG is on rails? Exploration is a huge part of RPGs.

The RPG genre needs EXACTLY this...a game where you and your friends enter an alternate reality to fight against evil. It looks like S-E has decided it will be the first to take it down this road in a non-WoW like manner.Mato said:
