Square Enix needs to give Dragon Quest XI a chance in the West

Dragon Quest XI can bring back old-school Japanese role-playing games in a big way, but Square Enix first needs to give it a chance in the West.

I'll buy it on both 3DS and PS4 just to support it.

RpgSama3178d ago

They would not be making it for the Ps4 if they do not have plans to release it in the west, almost all of the Ps4 install base is in the west. If anything, the 3ds version is mostly for the japanese market and the Ps4 version is for the west.

That is so true if it was not coming to the west it would not of been released on PS4. I wish they would bring some of the Dragon Quest 3ds titles to PS4 and Vita

* Might get a lot of disagrees, but here goes:

* The want and desire to play Dragon Quest 11 in the west is at least as big as FF15.

Final Fantasy has screwed up a bit in the past and lost some of it's luster, where Dragon Quest has only gotten better with age.

The problem is we don't get to experience that too often.

* I'd be willing to bet Dragon Quest 11 will sell roughly 80-90% of what FF15 would sell in the WEST.

Once people see the Art Style,gameplay,content,music,c haracters,towns,world....they are going to want this game almost or more than FF15.

I'll get both, but Dragon Quest 11 is my most wanted game by far...nothing is even close. I know I'm not the only one.

* Also we need DQ 7&8 in some REAL form in the west, as in 3DS/Vita/PS4/NX/XB1.....someth ing other than ios.

I'll be buying Dragon Quest 11 for 3DS/PS4/NX just to support and keep them coming.

They need to give all the Dragon Quest games a chance in the west... Especially these:

Dragon Quest 7 3D
Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 3D
Dragon Quest 8 3D
Dragon Quest 11

and maybe Theatrhythm Dragon Quest

Relientk773178d ago

It's easily in my top most wanted games so yeah I want it to come west

scark923178d ago

Dragon Quest Builders could popularize the series if that comes to the west, since it is similar to Minecraft.

Drithe3178d ago (Edited 3178d ago )

I think this one could be big here in the US. I would just LOVE to be able to carry over a character I made to all the player made quests that is gonna come from that.

Well it's their loss if they not release in the west.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle15d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger15d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag15d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.

jznrpg18d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
