ZeroX98763271d ago

"We don't even make our own"

Where are you from? Just curious

TwilightSparkle3271d ago

Equesteria duh! Anywho i was talking about the vita . We barely make our own vita games. Dont kill me.

Skate-AK3271d ago

Do you mean "our own" as in Western games from the US and Europe?

thorstein3271d ago

He already confirmed Dragon quest xi for consoles. He is thinking about a western release. He also mentioned that they wouldn't make a dqxi announcement until after heroes had launched because they didn't want it (xi) to overshadow heroes.

All of this was known months ago so I can't find the proper story to give the url.

* Hopefully it's for Vita as well, I don't have a PS4 yet.

* I wish SquareEnix understood that there is the market here in the U.S. for Dragon Quest 7 & 8 3DS, DQ X on PC, DQ 11 for PS4,XB1,Wii U & more....

I just don't get....what they don't get about it.

hells_supernova3270d ago

I would imagine their market research Has told them otherwise

Dragon Quest Warriors western release date?

bouzebbal3271d ago

interesting.. but start by releasing DQVIII remaster on consoles. give us a Vita version as well!
But it definitely looks like main DQ episodes are on the way to PS4. SquareEnix were happy for Heroes sales.

TenkoTAiLS3271d ago

Wouldn't surprise me if it was a PS4 port of Dragon Quest X Online, probably decided to try releasing it on PS4 instead of Wii U in territories outside Japan due to the perception of Nintendo's online multiplayer being subpar elsewhere in the world.

Still waiting on that Dragon Quest VII localization on 3DS Square-Enix. Still waiting.

I would love it if they started a new Dragon Quest series on Playstation. Something like the old games but which will keep them separate from the Nintendo ones

Could be the Playstations new Final Fantasy series

Dragon Quest VIII 4th? Yikes. That's easily number 1 for me. I'd love to be able to play it again on newer consoles.

Zeldafan64175d ago

III, XI and VIII are my top 3 in that order. While I think XI is the better game overall my nostalgia for III will never be beat.

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox347d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast347d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.

Why Dragon Quest Has Always Been So Much More Popular in Japan

In Japan, Dragon Quest is a cultural phenomenon. In the U.S., it's that "other" JRPG franchise. What caused such a massive difference in the game's global reception?

These days I enjoy dq way more then ff. Dq 11 was better then anything after ff10 maybe even ff10. I do feel that dq12 is gonna go action based rpg. Which is unfortunate but time will tell.

closed_account456d ago

Same here. Even Tales games I'm enjoying more now days. There was just a sense of awe and wonder, that sense of adventure we all wanted to experience when were were kids that I no longer feel that in Final Fantasy games. I'll still play them, but I miss the earlier SNES, PS1 days.

shinoff2183456d ago

That snes ps1 Era was magical especially when it comes to rpgs.

andy85455d ago

I hope not. DQ is the only one that's stuck to its roots. Given its massively popular in Japan, even over FF, I'd hope they will stick with what sells over there.

Gardenia455d ago

I agree. Final Fantasy hasn't made a great game for a long time now. I enjoy the Dragon Quest, Tales and Ys series more as of late.

FinalFantasyFanatic455d ago

It's sad to see how low FF has fallen now, I always tend to think of other games now when I think about JRPGs, Persona, Tales, Legend of Heroes, DQ, Bravely Default... There are just some many games I'd rather play over modern FF.

Thankfully thats shifting more and hopefully means more localisation (especially DQX offline)

franwex455d ago (Edited 455d ago )

Strange. Gamers complain about game franchises being the same thing over and over again. DQ actually gets praised for it.

I personally have played several DQ games and I tend to stop playing them after 30 hours. Just too long, and repetitive. Most RPGs I suppose are like this-but with DQ I lose interest as the plot doesn’t really grab me.

SaiyanFury455d ago

Final Fantasy doesn't really do the whole fantasy thing too much anymore.

franwex453d ago

Ff 16 looks pretty fantasy.
