Title: Re: Dragon Quest IX for the DS. Post by: Ando on December 13, 2006, 09:17:55 AM Hah. PS3 isn't gonna get Dragon Quest. LO-freaking-L.
I'll confess now, I've, um... I've never actually played a Dragon Quest game. But I want to. :P Title: Re: Dragon Quest IX for the DS. Post by: chrisbid on December 13, 2006, 01:11:07 PM over here, not much
in japan, it looks like squenix is hedging their bets, they are no longer putting all of their main franchises in one basket for dq, i think its a good move, modern consoles are more about realism while dq is a cartoon-inspired series, and the ds can do cartoons. we also saw what square can do with the DS on final fantasy III Title: Re: Dragon Quest IX for the DS. Post by: Fuyukaze on December 13, 2006, 02:25:57 PM I dont know about anyone else, but damned if I'm not glad I got a DS now. Sure, the news is more impresive for the Japanese market then in the states (still aint got 5 and 6 as well as a slew of re-makes and spin offs) but it does mean something for Sony in general. With Final Fantasy XIII being spread over multiple systems and now Dragon Quest not even being on a Sony system, it should atleast say something for the future they have. Even so, it's not as if this is EA saying they've gone Wii exclusive. RPGs make up a much higher percentage of sales in Japan, not in the US. The US in turn makes up a much larger percentage of game sales then Japan as well so this sounds great, but doubtfully will be THAT much for the short term.
