At what point would it be safe to say that Nintendo and SE have given up on DQ in the West? No localization announcements for the 3DS titles or DQX by E3 next year?

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
God I hope they give this a chance in the West.

Dragon Quest VII and X will come out here, I don't have any doubts.
The sideline games are the ones to worry about.
Rest in peace, Pirate Slime. You were never even given a chance.
I honestly feel like that's already happened. Didn't expect DQ10 to come over, but the other 3DS games have been no shows too... which is why I'm trying not to get excited for this. Those screens are making that really hard though.
It's pretty much what I imagined it should look like. I like it.
Wait.
Who's that on the far right?
I think it's a watermark.

Rocket Slime 3 not coming to the US is one of the saddest things that has ever happened in my gaming history. I was super late to the party with Rocket Slime DS (played it in 2010), but it became probably my second favorite Dragon Quest game ever after V. It was so incredibly fun.

The only DQ game I've played is 9, which I really, really enjoyed. Very much looking forward to this. Looks great.

Hope they fix the job system...
Congrats, Aeana! A somewhat surprisingly decent choice!

My whole groups of friends and I have great memories of the multi-player, we were all exciting when we saw the new game.
It really does suck. And the whole region-lock just is salt on the open wound.
I know people are referring to viii's char designs, but I think whatever Toriyama feels like drawing at the time.. Also,VIII looked great on a crt at the time. It looks like a horrid jaggy disaster on a modern tv. I tried emulating it on psx2 a while back but it had a lot of problems at the time.
I'm a dq sucker so I'll be getting it no matter what, but i still prefer the old 2d art. I kind of wish they would just do a remake something like the super mario bros stuff. nice 2d/semi-3d art.

Please, NOA Tree House, please localize this.

Indeed, that was one of the game's biggest issues to me.

It's been a while since I played VII, eight years, but was the main job system complaint that it took too long to level them up?
There are a lot of contributing issues, but linking job progression to number of battles fought is definitely one of the more major grievances.

It took a long time to unlock jobs, then it took a long time to level up those jobs, then you have two characters who tag in and out of the party, then some characters don't join until fairly late in the game...
They didn't change that the job progression in DQ6, based on that I dunno if they'll do it here.
They do seem to be switching stuff up though, so you never know. Besides, now with the ability to see monsters you'll (ideally) get into less battles, and such a progression system would be even more overwhelming.

Well, DQ6 didn't really get much of a remake at all. It's pretty much just a porting into the DQ7/DS remake engine. Super disappointing.
Fixed that for you.

I've got to go with VIII as my personal favorite DQ. The lead up to the battle with Dhoulmagus reminded me of rescuing the princess in Dragon Warrior when I was a kid. It was epic and the. Then game opened up every more. Also S-E's stellar localization was, and still is, amazing.
Why'd you remove III? Though honestly I'm not even sure if I'd put DQVII in my top 5.
Tell me about it... Especially one I only played through 2 years ago! Those stories are pretty unforgettable.

I'm liking that you can see enemies on the field - no random encounters!

SE, Nintendo, anyone - PLEASE, RELEASE THIS IN EUROPE
I put 60 hours into Dragon Quest IX and I never had enough. This game will be perfect for me.

Only 60 hours? You're a lightweight!
I have no experience in playing jRPGs. The only ones that I've completed beside DQIX were Pokemon games, so that's a big number for me ;p
Pity, I liked the idea of visible monsters on the field only. Suppose we don't know how it'll be 'til there's footage, so I live and hope.
