Or common sense. Obviously it will be a hit in Japan, obviously not so much over here.
I'll still buy it though. Been playing Dragon Warrior games since I was like 9 years old, one of my all time favorite series.

Nintendo has come forward stating they want to promote Dragon Quest IX outside of Japan.  What's to stop SquareEnix from starting to promote other games in the series if Dragon Quest IX gets popular here?

Though they obviously did cut all marketing after Dragon Quest VIII and Monsters: Joker showed interest from western audiences.  So you now see where my comments come from.  Its up to SquareEnix to put forth the effort to actually market the game outside of Japan, which Dragon Quest IV and V DS had absolutely none.

Well, DQ8 had some excellent marketing in that FFXII demo!
