Dragon Quest IX Confirmed
Wow, I had no idea Sugiyama was 75 years old. ROCK ON!
If the two series DO in fact appear on different platforms, it means the PS3 is going to fail MISERABLY in Japan, since more people are going to buy a Wii for DQIX. This, of course, only speculation since nothing's been REALLY confirmed yet.
I'm surprised it wasn't officially announced long before this. You'd think they'd be more than half way done with it by now
I doubt it will arrive on the Wii, most DQ fans will own a PS3, seeing as DQ fans own a PS2 most probably. Square Enix wouldnt ditch it biggest fan base, it will sell most if it appeared on the PS3. And while Japanese gamers are indeed excited about the Wii, there still rooting for the PS3.Originally Posted by DJZen
I don't know, Square Enix's audience seems to be buying their games no matter what system it is on. Also, all of the Role Players seem to want to buy the Wii over the PS3. Also, with Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors being confirmed as a release title for the Wii, that really influences Dragon Quest fans opinion on which system to buy. Square Enix is doing everything they can to steer the DQ fans in the direction to buy DQ games.

Yeah, I have a feeling they'll keep making them until they all die off, which won't happen yet.
Still, wtf is up with this:
What 'tiny problems'? >_>; The game was pretty gorgeous to me.IX will almost definitely be in 3D as well, perhaps with a few of the tiny problems of Dragon Quest VIII ironed out.
Still, gotta keep on going.
I hear the PS3 version will feature giant enemy crabs and drifting.
There is no signature here. Move along.
Oh damn I hate having to change platforms. Buying a PS3 will be a drag cause it costs so damn much.
I am very happy that they're making a DQ 9. I'm very anxious to see what side quests this one will have hehe.
Not according to polls they're not...
Only time will tell us what DQIX will really be on, as Hori as always said that the franchise will be on the system with the largest user base in Japan. There is no brand loyalty with DQ, DQVII was in development for three systems at first and ended up on PS1 because of the user base, but the game almost ended up on Saturn and N64 as well. Only time will tell us whether Wii or PS3 will be more successful in Japan.
Edit: Unless they release it on PS2. DQVII was released on PS1 after PS2 launched IIRC.

Well I'd think that trhe DQ9 game might be on the Wii due to the fact that it's the most popular game franchise in Japanese history, and due to the fact how Square Enix loves money and that the Wii is the most popular next gen system in Japan (if I heard right) it might just get a Wii release.
I dont see why people even question that the PS3 is most popular in Japan.
I would love to play DQ with the motion detection of the Wii if they included it in an ingenious way.
Because some of us pay attention to things. :rolleyes2 If there's no DQ on the PS3 that's essentially the death knell. Not in the US but in Japan. However, failure in Japan equals failure everywhere.
Looking forward to something isnt the same as wanting it, everyone is looking forward to the Wii. But im sure the Japanese will want PS3's more, you can convince others to get a Wii instead, but saying the Japanese will ditch Sony is pushing it too far....
