Eh. I still think that especially with DQVIII that has been never ported before they would make more money with 3DS port considering that with 3DS they could charge more. Does anyone know how these will be priced?
It did, it is the best selling DQ ever.
There's an argument being made against DQ on iOS: that it's being sold a lower price, therefore 3DS is better. It's the same argument that could be made for DQ on home consoles x handhelds.
If we look at the price:
DQVIII: 3.55 million units x 9,240 yen = 32.8 billion yen
DQIX: 4.15 million units x 5,980 yen = 24.8 billion yen
If SE is looking only at the price they're selling, why are they still making DQ for handhelds instead of home consoles?
I think the real missing factor in your equation here is budget. While VIII made more overall, did it cost more than IX to make? I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that it probably didn't. I don't know if there's ever been any official word on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if IX made more in the long run because it cost less to make. And this was before HD, which seems to have brought development up a good deal from the talks of some game's budgets.
Don't forget that they scrapped progress on DQ9 initially to completely remake the game, which undoubtedly ballooned the costs quite a bit.
I wasn't aware.
Please Shahid, throw some monies.
If DQ8 will not be released on Vita also,
I will be a sad, sad little panda.

I don't get the touch control complaints. I could understand not wanting to play fast paced action games on touch screens but I don't see how it would matter in turn based RPGS tbh.
The first Dragon Quest ports were DQ I and DQ II on MSX actually.I think these Dragon Quest on smartphones will be the first time that these games are being ported, instead of being full remakes.
Sad to see DQ series going down this road.
Please, please, oh please at least support gamepads.
If the ports are good, I'm fully behind this. S-E doesn't have a good track record for ports thus far, though.
And, yes, porting DQ8 to 3DS/Vita and then localizing 7 would be a good idea.
For an RPG series that doesn't involve fast, dynamic inputs?
And DQ11 is still going to 3DS don't worry..
It's nice to dream
This is getting absurd. I guess this all but confirms FF7 remake on iOS! (;
Good luck trying that with iOS. you'll need literally 5 times as many people buying the game.
I still dream about DQ8 HD on my PS3 or Vita.
I mean, look at this PS2 emulation screen * sigh *
Instead of this, we'll get smartphone junk...
Square please understand
I want DQ8 HD or a new DQ in the same style for next gen PLEASEEEEEEEE UNDERSTAND
Did you miss the part where they pretty much said the next DQ games would be multiplat?It's nice to dream
But... but... I don't own a cell phone.
A tablet would be better than a smartphone.To be fair you really only need an iOS or Android device. So a tablet would work too. Or an iPod Touch.

3DS/mobile is a pretty obvious multiplat choice in Japan.

If you don't like anything that Square Enix is doing don't buy their games. Vote with your wallet. I know I am , Square used to be my favorite company but they have fallen so far. I'm also canceling my FFXIV account as well because i'm just tired of all the crap from them.
I think they're better off without "fans" that ignore all of their good stuff and get mad when they don't just remake FFIV and VI every year

Tell me about it.
Going to Android and iOS is probably the smartest thing they could do, and would help fund next-gen projects. What a stupid mindset some people have.
What good stuff?
"Why does everyone ask about Chrono Trigger?" he laughed when asked about the game. When he was told that the game was adored by fans, his response was quite blunt: "That's not what the sales tell me!"
Off the top of my head: Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2, Theatrhythm, and Rocket Slime DS. DQMJ2 and Rocket Slime both bombed here, which led to us not getting their sequels. Theatrhythm's sequel may or may not come here. Absolutely no word yet.
DQ9 probably underperformed in the West, which is why we've yet to see the DQ7 remake.
DQ8 was the first DQ to be translated into English; and none of those games had a marketing push even remotely comparable to those of their maiine games.
