Dragon Quest VI DS, which is set to release in Japan on January 28th and is still awaiting a release date for Europe and North America, had a new preview at this years Jump Fiesta 2010 (which did indeed take place in 2009). The third and final remake in the Dragon Quest series for DS, this is the first time this title has ever been remade since its original launch in 1995 on the SNES. And once it arrives in the west, it will be the first time it ever is released outside of Japan.
This game comes just 6 months after the bombshell of Dragon Quest IX and literally weeks after Final Fantasy XIII is releasing in stores. Will Lightning be striking a fourth time for the famed Japanese RPG series? Will this title meet the same cold reception from western audiences and SquareEnix marketing consultants outside of Japan as its predecessors? Only time will tell.
