Maybe this is their attempt to show the Vita some love and see if it has more potential?

Wait for 25th anniversary event for DQ11.
If Square Enix really is ramping up Vita support, I would love for the Crystal Chronicles series to come back as a Vita game. Seems like a perfect fit, with the series having some brand recognition but not really being that big of a deal. Kind of like SaGa.

hey you got your SaGa
To be fair, we probably don't (unless you live in Japan or can play it in Japanese).
But yeah, the only reason I'd want to see SE making Vita games is because I want to see how much they can push it. They did by far the most impressive titles on the PSP, I wonder what they can make here.
And also because Vita games are lower cost and we can see more experimental stuff (hopefully).
I would too, but doesn't Nintendo have their slimy hands on that IP? They funded the first game - dunno about the rest

How did we end up on Crystal Chronicles for Vita? There's still people in here skeptical about whether or not DQH2 is an April Fool's joke lol

I wish My Life as a King got Ported to Current Gen, dont care what format, I LOVED that game on Wii, it does seem kind of a right fit for vita though but i'll take it on any format
Wow just found the thread and I'm surprised SQEX giving Vita some support is not actually a prank. Thanks Kagari!
There are so much of their stuff I'd love to see on Vita. But XII HD is my main wish/dream. Especially after the great work they did with X/X-2.
I hope there's not much longer to wait until we know.

Not yet, but why wouldn't they?

Didn't SE have like, a new game or something that people would be "excited" for, that they'd announce around E3?
BBS2.0 Vita hype.
Also, this thread was a little derailed I think.

Of course there will be one or something like that. Just wondering if there was a date I should mark on my calender.

lol yeah....apparently my faith in SE on Vita is not very strong~
that said, it would be awesome to play FF12HD on vita tho
Yes please

No, please, I just can't handle further hyping, the Agito + "great" hint before TGS still hurts, my poor heart can't make it, especially if we're talking about SE+Vita formula.
Coming back IT, even if a Vita port is being developed in Japan, it won't likely come to the West since DQH 1 is being localized as a PS4 exclusive here

Any guesses on release date? I think this year would be too soon given Heroes just came out in February, but then why announce now if it's going to be next year?
A boy can dream!
I have no idea if Nintendo actually has any sorts of ownership over the IP, but I would imagine they simply have the rights to keep those games already released on their hardware as Nintendo exclusives for perpetuity, while the IP itself belongs solely to Square Enix.
And while the series has traditionally belonged on Nintendo consoles there hasn't been a new entry since 2009, so it doesn't seem like Nintendo has any interest in partnering up with SE on the franchise going forward. I would hope that means there's a chance for it to re-appear at some point on other consoles, but who knows?
Early 2016 imo.

You're funny.

xi vita is dead tho
banned site asked them during the xi funeral ceremony and se said they tried it but weren't going forward

If this is true then it's really weird that the first game wasn't on Vita as well. Considering how short of a time frame it was from the announcement of the first and second games. Not going to complain though, unless the Vita version doesn't get localized.

Ha!
I remember reading a new article a while ago about them working on FF XI Vita, and then I never heard anything about it again.
Shame it fell through.

PS3 version was not localised......what makes you think Vita will be.

Could be? Since I just did the slime game thing again and the DQH2 image appeared again.
Since it already changed once at midnight, then came back its looking like it "might" be legit?

Nope. The game is still getting free content in fact.
Guys remember that SE is making an exclusive SaGa for Vita
EDIT:
i hope SE is NOT porting Type 0 hd on Vita lol, not as is at least, both the original game and the hd version need lots of improvements.
You kid but imo that was the pinnacle of the entire operation lol.
Imo SE wanted to develop the Type series on PS4 and XB1, but that was impossible without Type 0, so here Type 0 HD, but who would have bought the HD remaster of a PSP game on PS4 and XB1? No one so here the genius idea, they put the FFXV demo so even who was not interested in Type 0 bought it, so now that a good number of people know about Type 0's world and characters they can go on with Type 1(and in fact they already showed some art)
Imo the real reason behind Type 0 hd was not just to sell it but to put the basis for the future titles, it that's true it was a very brillinat move imo

Can't bundle a FFXV demo and sell it for $60 if you put it on Vita

I wasn't really kidding. I agree with you, though I get the feeling Type-0 might not sell as well as SE hoped (especially if JP's sales are any indication, but at least there's the excuse that they already got the game to support bad sales).Guys remember that SE is making an exclusive SaGa for Vita

Was their own damned fault for pricing it the way they did here in Japan. No shit Square its not going to sell at that price when most folks already played it back when it was out on the PSP and anyone who didnt get it at launch bought "the ugly cover" budget price version which was released later again on the PSP.
Worldwide or in Japan?
This would be an odd April Fool's joke if not true. I mean, it's a musou game developed by Omega Force. It's inevitable that a sequel is coming!
I could not get into Dragon Quest Heroes like I have been able to with other musous, but I'd be all for trying a sequel.
On the Vita thing, Koei (in this case, Omega Force) have been very supportive of the platform and just about every musou game released over the past few years has gotten a Vita port. Quality is usually very good; the recently-released One Piece Kaizoku Musou 3 looks great and runs very smoothly on Vita. Enough so that I'd be happy with just the portable version and probably should have held off on the PS4 version!

Speaking of SE and Vita, any news on Chaos Rings Trilogy coming over to the West? Hopefully SE brings some of their Vita titles to the west...*sigh* one can dream.

Yeah, February 26th. So just over a month ago. This kind of reminds me of when Capcom announced they were working on Capcom Vs. SNK 2 before Capcom Vs. SNK had been officially-released.

Only Square would do this as people don't believe they'd give anyone what they want
Chaos Rings III hasn't been localized on mobile, right? They're probably waiting for that to happen.

Do people even actually own a Vita? I know I own a PSTV and a Vita but honestly do Vita games even sell? Seems like a waste of time...

Digitally they seem to do pretty well. I think Sony came out with some kind of PR saying that people that own Vitas purchase more games on average than others. Unless I'm mistaken.
