Can't be DQVII, since that's along the lines of Warrior of Eden.

Been waiting for DQX since it hit the Wii. Hurry up already. Geez.

Please just do it. Gimme DQ.

In English it is translated to 'Rise of the Five Tribes', so LoLL would fit with it.

If it's not VII remake then fuck it.
I have to hold out hope that one of these is for dq7 so that I can complete my collection... as I never managed to get dq7 on the ps1, and would love to have it on the 3ds to have a full set of mainline dq games (I don't consider dq10 a mainline game as it should have just been called dragon quest online :/)
And we will all thank Reggie for this. Right?

If it's localized anything you all better buy 10 copies so we can keep getting DQ stuff localized.

Sounds like it'll have a mechanic similar to Rogue Legacy. Unless I'm reading too much into it

Also Luminary could mean
a person of prominence or brilliant achievement
So that definitely sounds like it could be something!

for iOS
His tweets are our gospel...
EDIT: I bet Aeana knows what's happening, but she is as forthcoming with information as a Metal Slime.
I will buy whatever this is.
I want DQ 7 remake the most, but DQM remake would be so amazing. Not that the names seem plausible for that one.
DQ X though...I don't know. I think I'm over it. I would buy it but I don't really care if it comes over or not. Move on to the next one please, and make it single player with optional multi.

VII could be legendary line then.
EDIT: Nevermind, sounds like it'll fit X better, what with the tribes thing. I dont remember VII having anything to do with seeds...unless they mean the whole continent raising thing.
Haha, yeah, could be subtitles for the DQ iOS games.

Has any DQ ever really succeeded in the west, including nes ones?

Taking Salvation into account
isn't the main villain of DQ7 like, the Devil?
BTW, how is leveling up in PSX DQ7 compared to the NDS ver.?
I remember watching the final boss battle of PSX DQ7 on YT and all the characters were under Lvl. 40.
I think VIII and IX sold well, also the DS remakes of at least IV and V did okay. Don't know about the NES ones, not like we ever got them over here.
Verendus did tease that Dragon Quest would be returning to Sony systems soon, but he said not in a huge way, but in a port/spinoff kind of way. We'll see if that turns out to be true.
Not in Europe. First mainline DQ game we got was VIII.

Dragon Quest X; released with graphical mods on Wii U; no monthly subscription; Nintendo wins this gen.
For mobile?
IX sold over a million in the West iirc. It's anecdotal, but I can say that in the UK the game sold really well; pretty much all my friends bought the game and really enjoyed it, the game was heavily advertised too. That doesn't really happen for RPGs outside of Pokemon.

Yeah, that's the Japanese subtitle, too -- Dragon Quest 7: Eden no Senshi-tachi. So... I don't know if this is DQ7.
Speculation time~!
Luminaries of the Legendary Line and The Seeds of Salvation could, in theory, be used to describe the DQ7 framing device.
Luminaries of the Legendary Line particularly, because Luminaries is what the US localization team used for the Superstar / dancer type classes in DQ9... and DQ7's plot involves a legendary magic tribe of musicians and dancers.
Alternately, they could be avoiding the 5 tribes / 5 races thing and using "Legendary Line" to discuss DQX's train, or DQX's 5 playable races. Or the Tower Offense browser game they recently announced, since that's got paths / "Lines" in it, too.
Seeds of Salvation... A bit more of a stretch. There's little farming in DQ7 or DQX.
Seeds could be spoken of metaphorically, since the plot of both DQX and DQ7 involve a very small cadre of good (the hero in DQX, the island in DQ7) being the world's last hope or somesuch.
I don't know if DQX's recent expansion could have anything to do with seeds. Possible, I suppose?
Unfortunately I don't see either being a reference to Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland or Dragon Quest Monsters 2: Iru and Luca's Marvelous Mysterious Key. DQM2 involves a ranch, but no farming. DQM1 takes place in a giant tree, but again, no farming.
Worse case scenario: Reggie's tweet was literal, and this isn't a localization, but a new DQ game. If their great idea for DQ in the west is a "Dragon Quest of Evermore," they should just stay home.
Edit:
It could, in theory, be that "Tower Offense" meets Monsters game, Dragon Quest Monster Parade. But surely even those fiends at Square Enix wouldn't be THAT cruel to us, right?
