"including a revamped "Dragon Quest," a game series that is extremely popular with Japanese. A "metal slime" PS4 model, a tribute to one of the game's characters, will also go on sale"
That's almost exciting, but will it come to North America? Also, why on Earth was DQ VII never released outside Japan?! -I'm talking about the DS version
There's also Dragon Quest Warriors (aka Dynasty Warriors clone) coming up. Also, Square Enix wants to bring DQ VII outside of JP, but can't justify the cost of localization, which is a pity. But then, DS DQ's didn't probably sell as well as SQ wanted and VII is kinda big game to translate from what I've heard.
"So, here’s the deal. This is one of those cases where making noise is actually a productive thing to do. Square Enix want to bring Dragon Quest VII for 3DS over. They just need convincing that it’s worth their time and money to do so. So if you care about the game and want to see it published in the West, get out there and let them know. Do it via their official Twitter feeds, their Facebook pages. Send e-mails if you can. Get in touch with their community managers. (And do it politely.)"
OK, we should make some noise then. I encourage everyone outside of Japan to contact Square Enix and ask for an English translation!!
