I can't believe they didn't milk the dqviii HD cash cow
They could start by releasing DQ7 and DQ8 on PSN...
This.

DQX port?

Of course there will. It's not like SE and TK are going to stop after DQH, there will be at least be DQH2 and 3.
wait what? Really?

At the absolute very least DQX is next. There is no question.

Well, that scene on-stage with Morita was awkward, to say the least.
"It's been 10 years since we did something like this with Sony...ahahaha..."

It's in Square-Enix's best interest to get PS4 install base up before FF15 and KH3. DQ sells consoles not the other way around.
VIII remake please.

We already know the next DQ won't be a mobile title so.............

The only reason I hope it isn't on PS3/4 is because that would significantly reduce the chance of it coming out in the West. Without Nintendo's support the chances are decreased a huge deal.
It's one thing to want it on your platform of choice, but it's another to say 'if I can't play it no one can.' I prefer it on Nintendo platforms only because that's the best chance we have of actually getting these games.

No. It's a DQ spinoff. It's like saying they were delivering a message for DQ with DQ: Swords for the Wii...

Apparently not anymore. Nintendo doesn't seem to be interested in localizing DQ10, DQ7, DQRS or DQM.
It's Sony's turn now.

Didn't the Wii get DQX tho?
Really. Where do I pre-order DQVII in the west?
if they put it on the ps4 only, it will probably be for the worldwide userbase because a platform with about 2m consoles sold won't be happy funtimes for a potential dqxi if they keep it in one region and on one system.
i have to wonder if part of the reason dqvii never came over, apart from the shitload of text (there is a shitload of text), is that nintendo was aware they wouldn't see dqxi on any platform of theirs.

I think there will be more DQ on the PS4 regardless but I don't see DQ11 on the PS4. The 3DS is the easy choice unless the game is 3 years away.
*Stares at my Dragon Quest X Wii U and VII 3DS US versions.* Oh wait.
I completely disagree. If it were to release on PS3/4, then it would show that Square Enix have a definite interest in bringing the title overseas where the install base is ridiculously larger than in Japan.

Uhh, we got DQ9 on the DS THEN DQ10 on the Wii. What's your point? That this means at some point, maybe a few DQs down the line, a numbered one will end up on the PS4? My point is that, like how Swords didn't directly lead to X on the Wii, this won't mean anything really. They'll assess it on a game by game basis
I'm sure that a big budget, console DQ (non.MMO) would be released worldwide with or without Nintendo helping.

Yes, give sony a chance, they make that third party production division that would be really suited for this.
It simply means that Vita will get Dragon Quest XI and PS4 will get Dragon Quest XII.
And they are region free if they dont

How many Sony published DQ games are there? How many spinoffs and remakes were released on Sony platforms in English? Just that Torneko title if I recall.
Perhaps Nintendo's disinterest in publishing X or VII:R was because of a platform change. In that case welcome back to the dark ages of North American Dragon Quest releases.

I'm sure it would too.
Only problem is all of the spinoffs and non-mobile remakes. We usually only get one traditional Dragon Quest game a generation.
It's not just about DQH. They also said DQXI is being made for the big screen. So if you put those two together, it paints a pretty clear picture as to where DQXI is going...

Cute, you think they care about us.
What would PS4's LTD in Japan be by then? It's not going to be anywhere near 3DS.

People will buy the hardware for a current-gen DQXI.
Sammy Samusu

It will definitely be more active though. You think 3DS will be a factor in 2016?
If Dragon Quest XI end up being on a Nintendo system then their is a chance of it being localized but if it end up being on a Sony system then the game ain't leaving Nippon.
Then again we still don't have Dragon Quest X and they haven't even started localizing Dragon Quest VII as they clearly want Nintendo to pay for the cost.
*sigh* I need to find a new hobby.

They're not going to give up on the huge PS3 base for a game in a mainline series that sells over 4 million in Japan. They're not going to be content with the sales on one platform.

DQ games traditionally come out on the most popular console. That's why they went Wii and DS last gen.
PS3 is still around 8 years later. Why wouldn't 3DS be around in 2016?

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I... think it's the exact opposite? PS4 has a high enough userbase that SE would be willing to risk it. For Wii U not a chance in hell.
