Kotaku writes: "You've no doubt heard some blogger or another refer to a Dragon Quest release date as "national holidays in Japan". This isn't really true. Today, for example, was not a holiday. It was, however, the release date of Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS."
Despite having some of the best storylines and customization options in the series, Dragon Quest IX is the only installment to never receive a port.
I wo set why this port never happened. Now with a larger and more interested fanbase, may e they will?!
I wish the majority of the previous mainline Dragon Quest games were readily available on modern platforms. 3DS is the only system that fits that criteria but this should be expanded upon
To this day, Dragon Quest IX remains a Nintendo DS exclusive title. However, the team behind the game has made comments suggesting that a Dragon Quest IX remake is possible.
Why would you want it on ps4 I have a switch and ps4 and it would be perfect on switch
It’s not final fantasy to need high end graphics plus always sold better on Nintendo
@Gemmol - Why? Because the PS4 version is ALWAYS far superior to the Switch version. Better Frame rates, better resolution and most importantly... TROPHIES!!!
@mr marvel
If the game is being made ground up for the switch it won’t have frame issues or resolution issues so your point do not stand
Your point only work if they made it for the ps4 version first than ported to switch
The developers want to make it on switch so the game would be ported to ps4 if they made it so all these things you bring up have more effect on the switch
Because I only have a PS4 😑
How would this game being suited for Switch discredit it from also having a PS4 version? A number of Dragon Quest games nowadays release on PS4 & NS, why stop there with a possible DQIX remake?
Original was on Nintendo only so I can see why they would pick switch only, but I can see why you want it now, not everyone have switch and ps4 like me so hopefully they make a ps4 version for you but at least give the switch some exclusive features if they plan to port to ps4 like being able to play in 2d like the original DS version or whatever
I'd want it on PS4 & Switch, like it is in Japan. I would buy it on PS4, cause of friends and performance.
I'd be game for that. It was fun having a team of DBZ characters running around. Lol
There is a long tradition of Square Enix Remakes dating back through PlayStation history. That tradition continues with Final Fantasy VII, and will probably keep going after that. Here are some titles gamers would love to see again.
Why do lists like this never ask for the Eidos side of Square Enix? There’s plenty of remakes id like to seem from Eidos’ stories history
Well said. I know I'd gladly pay for a remake of Legacy of Kain and if it does well the chances for a new game increases too, which would be a plus in my book.
Not only that but people tend to also forget about Enix’s own titles and just mainly focus on Squaresoft’s past like it’s the only classic backlog Square Enix can return to.
Dragon Quest is the only thing people ever mention. You’ll hardly ever see the likes of Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean, & ActRaiser
Or Enix. Remake Terranigma I say! One of the most underrated RPGs ever made.
Personally I’d just want Square Enix to release FFVIIR period before thinking of whatever remake they could work on after it.
Plus it’s not like we even have to wait for that to release for another remake to be made. Their last one was Secret of Mana last year. They can still release smaller scale remakes in the meantime
Iam still hope someday Square Enix cooperate with fromsoftware to remake VAGRANT STORY
I would love for Square to take Chrono Trigger as is, repolish it with an overlay of lighting effects and actually get an orchestra to do the soundtrack. (I wish CT had a live cover too).
Also would love to see Enix's E.V.O Search for Eden remade in something that resembles the Ubisoft Framework Engine. This game is incredible yet almost completely forgotten.
Could possibly look amazing employing tilt shift like Octopath's art style. That game has beautiful sprite work and lighting. Also, EVO, hell yes.
Final Fantasy VIII
They already skipped VIII out with a port and trophy support so they better not skip it for the next remake
The garden battle in HD would be glorious
This game will be huge,huge,huge.Japan is certainly going to shut down this week.I expect DQ9 to own the Japanese sales charts for the rest of the year
i hope this one get translated fast
