Gigazine is covering a mysterious Dragon Quest Press Event at Tokyo's Park Hyatt hotel. It's due to start in 30 mins or so. :o :o :o

Based on the schedule, it looks like they'll be announcing a new game, including staff, etc.

Edit:

Okay... Dragon Quest IX will be hitting Japan on 28th March 2009, for 5980yen. The game finally has a release date! Yay. Looks like the announcement isn't really major.........

HOLD UP!

HORII SEZ DQX IS FOR THE WII! IWATA SAYS THANK YOU! OMG!!!!!!!

DQ 10 for the Wii :P

Mejilan · (12-10-2008, 04:36 AM)

That DQIX Wii rumor?

Fuck, can't go to sleep now.

Witchfinder General · (12-10-2008, 04:36 AM)

Should be interesting. Anyone want to hazard a guess at what might be announced?

*Bunkers down*

Guled · (12-10-2008, 04:37 AM)

release date? Or do we know that already

Mr.Wuggles · (12-10-2008, 04:37 AM)

maybe they'll finally reveal DQ6

DeathbyVolcano · (12-10-2008, 04:37 AM)

esc · (12-10-2008, 04:37 AM)

^I'll guess that it won't be anything new.

Edit: nevermind, duckroll stealth edit. Or I gotta learn to read.

MoogPaul · (12-10-2008, 04:37 AM)

schuelma · (12-10-2008, 04:38 AM)

I would guess it would be something for the Wii, but with the way things are going it's probably cell phones

I'd be happier if DQVIr was moved to Wii instead of that baseless DQIX rumor coming true.

rhfb · (12-10-2008, 04:39 AM)

PS3 game!!!

I can wish cant I :(

Better start saving those gifs from OT! We might need it here today! :o

obijkenobi · (12-10-2008, 04:39 AM)

Wow, this is the first time I'm actually here for one of these breaking events. I kind of dig the series, but I'm not super excited about an announcement right now.

Epcott · (12-10-2008, 04:40 AM)

Thank goodness for firefox 3 translators and refresh buttons!

(awaiting the inevitable remark: "Thank goodness for knowing Japanese"

)

cyclone87 · (12-10-2008, 04:40 AM)

I really wish they'd make these events a bit more public, why are we only finding out that it exists 30 mins before it happens?

cvxfreak · (12-10-2008, 04:40 AM)

Tips on how to pass the time: read this thread.

Witchfinder General · (12-10-2008, 04:41 AM)

What I'd like to see: Dragon Quest X (360/PS3)

What we're probably going to get: Dragon Quest: Mobile

Hero · (12-10-2008, 04:41 AM)

DQIX Wii edition.

Maybe, when those start selling lolz.

TJ Spyke · (12-10-2008, 04:42 AM)

Square Enix (and Enix before the merger) always releases the main Dragon Quest games on the leading system, so Dragon Quest X won't be coming out on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. It will be Wii or maybe Nintendo DS again.

the year 20XX · (12-10-2008, 04:43 AM)

I'm guessing DQIX special edition DSi bundle/ release date.

fixed, only the pc can do justice to the dq series, am i right?:)

Regulus Tera · (12-10-2008, 04:44 AM)

Goddamnit there go my hopes of getting some rest tonight.

Datrio · (12-10-2008, 04:44 AM)

Well, looks like I woke up at just the right time!

Give it to me, SEX, all over my face!

zoku88 · (12-10-2008, 04:45 AM)

you know what I would like to see. A DQ on the DS. That'd be a change.

Good thing tomorrow is the last day of classes!

Lonewolf_92 · (12-10-2008, 04:45 AM)

I'll throw in my vote for DQ Wii too. The Wii needs some traditional RPG lovin'! Come on Square!

Danthrax · (12-10-2008, 04:45 AM)

Aaaaaand let the hype train roll out!

interesting...

Dragon Quest "parties" take place around this time December on even years (2006, 2008)

Square Enix Parties seemingly take place in the middle (around summer) of odd years (2005, 2007)

Please don't joke. PLEASE.

Seriously though, I do expect either a DQ 10 for Wii announcement, an announcment that DQ 9 has been moved to Wii, that there will be a DQIX DSi bundle, or they will announce something that is really disappointing.

Either way, I am staying up. Good thing my finals are done,

thats not a new game.

Totobeni · (12-10-2008, 04:46 AM)

what I want from this event

Dragon Quest X for Wii
Dragon Quest Monsters for DS
Dragon Quest Torneko no Daiboken for Wii
Dragon Quest Slime Party for Wii and DS
Dragon Quest Dissidia for DS

or Epic fail

Jade Knight 08 · (12-10-2008, 04:46 AM)

Let's get the party started!!!!!

Jonnyram · (12-10-2008, 04:47 AM)

I don't expect anything earth-shattering. Maybe total details on DQIX (voice acting? lol), and potentially DQVI DS and/or Slime Mori Mori 3 and/or new DQM game.

stealth edit: DQ Online using TFLO engine, developed by Level-5 for the meltdown.

DCharlie · (12-10-2008, 04:47 AM)

DQX surely can only go to the console with the X in it?

(watch as they announce DQ10.... for the DS)

Talladega Knight · (12-10-2008, 04:48 AM)

Just in case, I want to say I posted in this thread. Looking forward to whatever it is...

Saint Gregory · (12-10-2008, 04:48 AM)

NO NOT NOW!!! I have to go to bed :(

Calcaneus · (12-10-2008, 04:48 AM)

Ha! You're not getting me excited for another Square-Enix event!

....Oh who am I kidding....
