Title: Dragon Quest IX Dated (3/28 JP) / Dragon Quest X Wii Exclusive. :O
Post by: Jericho on December 10, 2008, 06:57:46 AM
It is as I said in the headline above. News of the event recently came from a special Dragon Quest "party", the same party used two years ago to announce DQXI's DS appearance. While I should have been keeping a close eye on this, Brawl (and it's well timed lag this evening 8D) got the better of me. You can read up on the events however at the following page:

http://gigazine.net/index.php?/news/comments/20081210_dragonquest/

Discussions and meltdowns (if you're the type to do so) begin now.

Major Edit - I fail at roman numerals. Sleepy eyes strike again! XD

It's Dragon Quest 9, not 11 that has a date.

I'm sure this just made a lot of DQ fans either really happy or upset. 

Either way, more power to Ninty!   8D

Sorry if I stole any thunder there Ben, it was just too damn legendary for me not to post it ASAP. Also, since I'm actually curious about the series and need an RPG or two, this will definitely be a must try for me. 8)

Like it? It's the Dragon Quest IX Edition "Slime" DSi which goes on sale launch day for DQIX. The black one would be perfect for me if the slime was it's traditional blue color.

I do like that black slime one. Makes the system look fanboyishly classy. Could have done without the logo but eh...

Are the internet tears bitter at this announcement? Because I saw this as inevitable.

I don't think I need to tell you about what's going on at the forum I got this info from... 8D

And that's only from the night folk. XD

I too saw it as an inevitability, but do the fanboys? Nope as usual.

Enix = Actraiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma and Star Ocean (together with tri-Ace), so you're right there. ^w^

I wonder what they'll do about DQX. I mean, it's the tenth installment of one of Japan's best selling franchises (in Japan hurr).

Not perfect, but done:

Also, ya gotta love people trying to rationalize it all out saying that it's not gonna happen in the Wii's lifetime, but rather, the Wii HD. XD

It's just too early to be talking about next generation, even if I'm a bit curious about it myself.

Well, that's another game that is a definite buy~ (DQIX has been already a definite one for me for a long time).  DQVIII has impressed me and even though it took some patience, but from the beginning portions (before it felt like it started to drag some bit), Dhoulmagus and after Dhoulmagus and the Dragovian Trials I enjoyed alot :). (oh and the exploration and the Puff-Puff Club kick alot of ass.).

CAPTAIN WII CHEERS FOR ALL~  8D

Hey guys, looks like Dragon Quest might just be the one series that could appeal to both Western and Eastern markets with Iwata's latest idea to push the series in both markets.

Quote from: Satoru Iwata in recent 1Up Article
"With the release of Dragon Quest IX, there are two things I'd like to make reality. The first is to build a thriving Japanese game market together with Dragon Quest that rivals the West's. The second is to form a strong tag team to promote Dragon Quest overseas. At Nintendo, we were able to popularize the Brain Age series overseas, which was said to be unmarketable. I want to increase the number of people worldwide that understand the appeal of Dragon Quest, which represents all Japanese gaming culture...even if that only turns out to be a single person. I'm looking forward to working together with Mr. Horii and Square Enix."

Article here. (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3171782) What I find interesting about this development is the fact that for a good while now, Nintendo has wanted an RPG series that would rival the popularity of DQ in Japan & Final Fantasy worldwide. Now, they have the goose that lays the golden eggs and they seem quite content on making sure it delivers it's best. My, how times change.

And while they may have golden eggs now, I certainly hope this doesn't deter them from delivering on a promised golden sun.

So basically... Nintendo and SE join to make EVEN MORE SHITLOADS of money. This will be most interesting for Square Enix, with their financial future secured... they might move their focus away from FF and try reviving older games and franchises. Unlikely, but I enjoy the dream.
