Probably gamescom as its an MMO that's doing well in the west. Speaking of which, I know PC games arent the hottest shit in Japan (unless you are PSO2) but did FF14 ARR even do well in Japan?

Is this true?
FFXIV has as many JP specific servers than NA/EU combined. It's no small potato out there.
I can't imagine who else would have the resources available for a 3DS game localization like this. I suspect they're probably not too hot on the sales potential of the game, either, even after the nice little JRPG renaissance they've helped foster on the system.

Ah, okay. I only played the beta, I like MMOs but it didn't scratch that itch, may get it later.
That's true, I know what you mean but, I wasn't aware on how deep Square is into mobile at this point that they won't localize their own games. Then again I guess why bother if you can get another company to do it for you as well.
Not sure I'm probably confusing him with someone else.
But I'm 100% sure about XV at TGS, it would be too ridiculus for them if they didn't show it (yeah I know we're talking about Square Enix), especially after Hashimoto said "come to see what we have at Tokyo" or something like that.
Don't you dare break my dreams SE!
Edit.

Edit2:
Well I just noticed he never said "Later this year" but only "When the timing is right" lol -.-
Fixed. ):
This.
But maybe now Nintendo will have the time to get into DQ7, given the reports on the massive amounts of translation required for Fantasy Life?

FFXIV at Gamescom is probably going to be the first instance of the new Ninja job being playable. If not there, then Tokyo Game Show. Both are pretty close to the next patch date assuming the job comes within the next two patches as expected.
That would do it. Have to buy the game now.

They've been saying something to this effect for years now. Don't hold your breathe.

I appreciate you digging so deep to answer my question. It's difficult to hold out much hope when SE speaks so vaguely and with no real promises. I still believe the game will show at TGS but their current silence and murky assurances are really starting to make me doubt even that.
Yeah I know. I'm lucky because I've been waiting for this game since just a few years but I know there are people who used to say "This is the year I'll finally see that fucking XV", for years.
I didn't really expect FFXV to skip E3 but I'm pretty sure we'll get a new trailer before the end of the year (which mean E3). It would be really really stupid for SQEX to release a new trailer, say "Expect more news soon" and then be silent for 2 years, AGAIN.

The next Square Enix title I will buy in NA will be either a console Dragon Quest or a console TWEWY2.
Will not buy any other Square Enix games until I buy one of those two games. Not sure if I need to count Eidos into this, but I'll do it.

That's cute. Some people were actually expecting FFXV to be on the list. I dunno if I want to pity you or laugh at you.
FFXIV - haven't got into it, so this "year of FFXIV" does nothing to excite me. Next.
Nosgoth - no thanks.
Lara Croft - the only game there I'm genuinely interested in.
KH 2.5 - never got into the games. Haven't even picked up 1.5.
Curtain Call - played the first Theatrhythm, but I've no real desire to play the sequel.
DQVIII - haha
DQIV - played it on DS. No interest playing it again on mobile.
If no Deus Ex or Triad Wars announcements, then it's yet another shit show for this company.

I don't seem to have any interest playing DQ games on a phone... 3DS or bust.
Hate to be "that guy" but yeah DQ7 3DS probably isn't happening.
It's a HUGE translation undertaking for a series that generally experiences lackluster sales outside Japan.
I think it would do well given the JRPG love on the 3DS, but would it do well enough to make the effort be profitable?
