Well, that part of my post was tongue-in-cheek, it had more to do with the fact that many people were afraid the Dragon Quest series was done in the West, with others clamoring for a return to single player home console games. This is a pretty good-looking game, a step in that direction, and a chance for them to put their money where their mouth is.

While handheld games are well and fine, Square's have gotten pretty stale for my tastes, the last one I was really into was Tactics Ogre. Like many people, I'm hoping Square starts releasing a variety of games on consoles for the West and this is an awesome opportunity to show them we can be receptive to that, provided they make quality content.
