I'm not really feeling that worried about it. I don't know why SE and/or Nintendo would pass over a practically ready to go DQ game after the success of IX in basically every territory. I imagine they still want to give IX a chance to get all the sales it can get.
I'm ready to campaign for it though, if need be. I will not be denied VI.

Isn't this whole thing just a misconception anyway? Isn't 'Revelation' and 'Reverie' basically the same? In Japanese many English words have been adopted and somewhat deformed.
For example television in Japanese is 'teRebi'. (Japanese language doesn't have an L.)
It's not a far stretch from 'reveRation' to 'reveri'.

But didn't the final fantasy remakes come out after the DS released? I know it's apples to oranges, but I can't believe they'd cancel the last part of the trilogy. Ok, I can.

If you're talking about the GBA ports, then yes, two of them came out after the DS did.
Princess Skittles
Prince's's 'Skittle's
Nintendo published all three of those though, for semantics.Pureauthor said:
I still think DQVI is coming, regardless. SE can't possibly want to just ignore the buzz IX created.
GBA had its life cut short but still managed to release quality games for two years after it came out.
PS2's life wasn't and it had about the same.
NES had about two years of decent games, SNES had about three.
PSX had about a year and a half, but the launch year of the PS2 was filled with great games.
Popular systems have games jammed in the pipes that will get released.

Reverie is typically a "dream". Revelation is usually attributed to something that you experience that changes you in a big way.
In this case, both work just fine.
But honestly, they could name it Dragon Quest: Hassan's Carpentry Adventures -- Electric Boogaloo and I'd buy it.
I saw a DQ6 thread title and almost crapped myself thinking it was about a release date.
If DQ9's been popular, SE/Nintendo have a great "in" on marketing DQ6 to that audience (and newcomers to the series). I have a coworker who hadn't played a DQ game since DQ3 on the NES. He picked up DQ9, played it, and is now a complete junkie. He bought DQ4 as a result and will likely have DQ5 soon too. There are so many connections between these games with the names, legacy bosses, inn guests, etc., that it would be a treat for new players to see them in the games they originally populated.
And unlike most RPGs, you can enjoy the DQ9 postgame content and play another RPG at the same time. I'm doing both DQ8 and DQ9 right now, and having a blast.
DQ9 is my GOTY and would love to play DQ6 at some point as well.

Some potential bad news -- the Amazon listing is no longer accepting orders and the price is gone. For the time being, the listing is still up on the site, but...
Perhaps this could be reflecting the solicitation of Realms of Revelation as the new title? Hopefully that is the case.
On a bit of positive news, the title made it into Nintendo Power's Readers Most Wanted poll at #4.

I can't believe this game won't see an English release... Is it really that difficult...

Well, on the plus side it did make Nintendo Power's lists. DQ4 and 5 never got on them at all, yet 6 was able to without even a solid confirmation of release, much less screenshots, videos, and general hype.
It definitely looks like it'd perform better than 4 and 5 did, with that. But if it doesn't come out then, well... it won't do anything at all except eat up whatever money they put into it.

< Still waiting
I still choose to believe that Nintendo and Square Enix want to continue to push DQ9 right up to the end of the year and perhaps even into 2011, so they're pretty much denying the existence of the 6th game.
With the announcements of Inazuma Eleven and Radiant Historia there should be plenty of life left in the DS.

why would Square enix publish games like frontmission or lufia and not this ? makes no sense especially looking at how DQ9 has done.
he is a business man and he wants to appeal to the people that buy his products
Reggie is no DQ fan. i doubt he plays any games at allTaichu said:

Even if DQ4 & DQ5 sold badly SQEX should release the third game for the few fans who bought the previous games and are still waiting for the third chapter of the Zenithian trilogy.
I still expect this to be released but Square is doing a good job of constantly making me doubt myself. Would it kill them to drop some sort of hint so we can at least rest easier? All this secrecy is really annoying (and unnecessary). Unless they're planning some sort of marketing campaign for this game (which I doubt) letting the DQ fans know that they still plan to release this game shouldn't cannibalize or negatively affect the sales of IX in the slightest.
I really think that's what fuels the doubt. They shouldn't have to be secretive about something they really did formally announce. Even the product descriptions for DQ4 mentioned it, for crying out loud.
The secrecy is taken in a different way, that they are trying to quietly cancel the title, or something.

Front Mission was a third person shooter specifically design to appeal to the west. The other games in the series are SRPGs.farnham said:
Square did not publish Lufia DS here, Natsume did. Square-Enix passed.
