| Khuutra said: The biggest point here is that other RPGs follow Dragon Quest - in fact, Japanese development in general tends to. Dragon Quest is important because it is indicative of a trend, more than because of the game itself. Though the game itself is still hella cool. |
My understanding is that DQ always goes to the best selling console (handheld) in Japan. It's not JRPGs following DQ, it's more like Japanese developers following where money goes. But with PS2 is still alive and handhelds become the dominant game device in Japan, the situation may be different this time.
Look at the Level 5 lineup for 2009, 7 out of 8 are for DS/PSP.
