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

) got the better of me. You can read up on the events however at the following page:

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

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