One day, SMT and DQ will advance past 6th gen tech. Each day I wait, I die a little inside. I mean, DQVIII was amazing for its time. At least Persona 5 is PS3.

Dragon Quest XI probably won't be for smartphones

- Start date
Yes, but coming out a month after a bigger subscription title in the same genre from the same company doesn't seem all that easy of a path either.
You don't have to. Just take a look at the Wii U version of MH3U.
Edit: oh yeah and this, almost forgot

Sony didn't get shit. It's not on the Xbone because Microsoft doesn't allow shared servers between platforms, they made an exception for XI but not for XIV.
As for XV, Sony is in a different position now, they don't need to secure it since it's still kind of an exclusive because that's where the fanbase is.
Because what's the point of an old Dragon Quest MMO? They should probably invest money elsewhere.
But that's just my opinion.

I have no idea what you are talking about anymore? still kind of an exclusive ? MMORPG need a big audience, especially so when DQX allows for cross platform play. What kind of investment are you talking about? It has to be DQX or DQXI multiplatform with 3DS if its coming to PS3.
Unless its another spinoff for ps3/4....
Yeah, it looks pretty bad.
Well, that's not exactly your average 3DS game. It looked good even on the 3DS because of the small rooms and narrow corridors.
Why should they pay for its exclusivity when the majority of the sales are going to be on PS4? It's basically a free exclusive.

I'm dreaming for a PS4 game.
My guess is 3ds and consoles. Maybe pc too.
They'd never do this. There's too big of a gap between the platforms.

Licking my lips in anticipation for the announcement thread.
Depends on the developer and the resources - Level 5 pulled it off with Ninokuni or Capcom with E.X Troopers. I doubt it - but its not unheard of.
This will be glorious.
3DS is the top selling new generation system over there right ? That's where it will go.
The bigger question is if they'll make it like 9/10 or go back to a full single player experience.
... and on that note, will DQX ever make it outside japan ? it's starting to look like that's a great big fat no. I was actually looking forward to DQ7 coming stateside but that won't likely happen either

Not like it helped any of the 3DS games anyway.

I still have no idea what your expectations are if the PS DQ rumor is true. Not DQx and not along with 3DS then what?

Verendus did say DQ was coming to PS but I suspect its the MMO.

Nintendo is a good fit for Dragon Quest
Yeah, they did a great job with Dragon Quest VII.
I have no expectations, everything they did after DQVIII was extremely disappointing so I'll probably keep not caring about the series until something at least half as good will come out, I was just reporting what an insider said.
But anyway, I don't think they'll touch home consoles for a while.
Nice, ask for a port before it even get announcement.
Unless you want the series to stay in Japan, you better hope not. Nintendo is the only one that will actually localize it.

Best selling since VII? You realize that means nothing right? It basically means it sold better than VIII. Good for it. However you could just say the best selling DQ of all time and be done with it. Not by a ridiculous number, and not counting remakes of games like DQIII, but there it stands.
Never going to see a DQ that looks better than eight in a LOOONG time. Sigh.

Are you telling me you missed all the good 3DS spinoffs and remakes? Even if you don't like 9, the other DQ games are good

How can you ask for a port when the platforms haven't been announced yet lol
SE will publish this one unless they went with a partnership deal or what I am saying is this will get localised regardless of whose the publisher because it well sell at least a couple of hundred thousand in NA alone.

Then explain DQ 7 3DS and the other spinoffs that haven make it lol.
I wasn't considering remakes of course. IV, V and VI on the DS are pretty good.Are you telling me you missed all the good 3DS spinoffs and remakes? Even if you don't like 9, the other DQ games are good
And I'm not really sure about those "3DS spinoffs and remakes", none of them are localized.
that would be pretty cool to see on ps4.
Leave consoles behind. Since they won't make it for PC, 3DS is the way to go.

DQ9 sold decent in the west the spinoffs and remakes not so much, its quite likely any localisations may now just be restricted to new mainline titles
As far as the "DQ will return to PS, but not necessarily exclusive" rumor I can see that going two ways. One, DQX gets ported to the PS3/PS4 maybe early in the PS4's life. That would be pretty exciting if it was timed with a new expansion or something. Two, DQXI will be made on the 3ds then ported to the Vita. I imagine that wouldn't be hard and S-E would probably do it if Sony made an enticing offer of some sort.
Unless Sony is trying to lock down DQXII for the PS4 in some distant future I don't see any other possibility besides remakes or ports of older titles.

I still think we will see DQ VII 3DS in North America in 2014.
But I think that depends on everyone buying Bravely Default.
So, everyone better buy Bravely Default and buy multiple copies if you can.
Because I want Dragon Quest VII.
Do it.

Don't get me wrong, guys. It's a safe bet it's a 3DS game.
Actually, I'd be fine with a 3DS game, but I think it's time for a full fleged game. I want a real DQVIII "sequel" and this can only be done on consoles/pc.
Doesn't need to be exclusive, we do have FFXV and KH3. Why not give DQ another chance?
Squeenix doesn't need Nintendo to localize this game. And we do have some 3DS games that never came outside Japan. We can only pray DQVII will come next year.
Anyway, Horii needs to step up, do something great with this series again.

Oh shit man. Generic Neogaf poster #345 says it's true? CONFIRMED

Square-Enix has no control over the franchise. They only have exclusive publishing rights.
Yuji Horii's Armor Project owns the rights to Dragon Quest, so Horii makes the final call on what platform DQ is released on, NOT Square-Enix.
Yeah, Verendus is a generic neogaf poster, sure.

Well unless you know who he is in real life, he essentially is from the outside perspective!
As a gamer, I appreciate this quote. As a person looking at their market and the sales data...I do wonder if Horii has been asleep for the past couple of years. Mobile has pretty much wiped out game consoles in his home market (the only market DQ matters). They have already replaced game consoles. Unless he thinks PS4 will be the savoir...? 3DS is their only hope right now though.
That makes sense, yep.
I had no idea , I guess its pretty cool that he owns his own creation. Unlike Keiji Inafune with Mega Man.
