Linkup said:Really? I thought it's development time is actually shorter than most DQ games, not that I've been paying much attention or anything.
Give it up on the port stuff guys.
Kuran said:So stupid. Not interested at all in playing it on Wii.
Yes, how stupid of Horii to not base his choice of platform solely on your desires.Kuran said:So stupid. Not interested at all in playing it on Wii.
we're on the last parts of the game. We can't really share much else at this point, but by the end of this year we should be able to announce something regarding it.
Spiegel said:Ah, NSMB.
I see.
camineet said:It's about time, cannot wait, I remember when DQX was announced in late 2008. It'll be four years once this comes out in 2012.
Horii is like Eiji Aonuma, Nintendo is in the final stages of Skyward Sword's development since E3 2010. Plot twist: Zelda Skyward Sword == Dragon Quest XLonda said:Why do we have to wait for an announcement at the end of this year? Oh well, I guess its best not to rush the devs. But the wait is confusing when they are already on the last parts of the game.
Truth101 said:Makes me laugh. I don't understand how people thought it would go anywhere else but the Wii.
I wonder if those people will show up in this thread.
Edit:
This game has taken an incredibly long time to develop, I'm expecting great things from it when it comes out.
KingDizzi said:Heart of a lion son, I'm one of those people. My stance on DQ X changed some months ago though, it's been in development for so long shifting onto another console/handheld would just not make sense. Square Enix will have to stick with the train wreck that is the Wii, they backed it and have to stick with it for DQ X.
cw_sasuke said:Should we compare DQ main title to Tales of and Samurai Warriors 3 instead ?
Why? More people have a Wii in Japan than other consoles. Whether they buy other games is completely irrelevant - they will buy a DQ game.TruePrime said:I doubt this is the case at all. I would bet money that SE or at leaast Wada wants it on something other then Wii probably more then any person on Gaf.
So your old stance was no way it would be on Wii, that would be stupid, and your new stance is that it's on Wii, but that is stupid? Your reasoning makes no sense, Wii ports aren't hard or time consuming as proven by at least Tales of Graces F and Rune Factory Oceans, so they could have done that if they agreed with you on any level whatsoever.KingDizzi said:Heart of a lion son, I'm one of those people.

Spiegel said:I'm not making comparisons. I asked if there's a Wii market in Japan because Wii is selling in the low five digits and no one is making games for it.
I think it's a fair question.
Anyway, DQX is a Wii game. Good
It's probably better to ask if there's a console market in Japan at this point.Spiegel said:I'm not making comparisons. I asked if there's a Wii market in Japan because Wii is selling in the low five digits and no one is making games for it.

Square Enix owns the Dragon Quest IP, but it's true that they are unlikely to interfere too heavily with plans.Truth101 said:No, you don't understand. The Wii is not a train wreck at all, Dragon Quest X will sell and sell a lot, though maybe not as much as IX, the Wii still sells big system titles.
Also you misunderstand Dragon Quest is owned by Horii and it goes where Horii wants it to go, Square Enix has no say in the matter.
Yep. This is what certain people can't seem to grasp - yes, the state of the Wii in Japan is pretty shitty, but DQX will still sell truckloads regardless.Aeana said:Why?

I think we all know that they're not actually concerned that it won't sell on Wii.badcrumble said:I think it's a tad ridiculous that people think this won't sell on the Wii. I could see a case for making it multiplatform, sure, but it'll sell very well and make tons of money even if it remains exclusive.

jaundicejuice said:Looks like this is going to be the DS announcement thread all over again.
First intelligent question of the thread.BroHuffman said:I just not sure why they have waited so long to give us news if the game is so far along. Especially with the lack of wii games this year. They would have the spot light.
There is for multimillion sellers. What's the PS3 market looking like for multimillion selling games?Spiegel said:Is there a Wii market in Japan?
Horii owns everything he creates for the games such as scenario and such. Square Enix owns the IP. This is why you will not see an Armor Project copyright on things like merchandise.Truth101 said:I thought Armour Studios owned the IP, or is that not the case. I feel I read someone talking about this before, but I don't remember what they said.
Doesn't Horii still have say over basically everything to do with Dragon Quest?
Isn't this pretty typical of Square Enix though?GregLombardi said:First intelligent question of the thread.
And this is a legitimate question that speaks not only to whatever they're doing with Dragon Quest X, but perhaps what's going on with the Wii itself.

At the very least, it is contradictory for this generation. We saw Dragon Quest IX in its early form, and then in a later form, and then just before it released.PounchEnvy said:Isn't this pretty typical of Square Enix though?
