The question isn't about the franchise, though.

It's only about IX.

Uh.... this thread and the article its about 'Dragon Quest becoming the next Pokemon'.  The only way that can happen is how I laid out in my first post.

Dragon Quest IX is not going to become an overnight sensation.  Only games with multi-million dollar ad capmaigns like FInal Fantasy VII and Pokemon Red/Blue can do that.  They aren't going to throw 100 million dollars in advertising behind Dragon Quest IX.

Well, they did say that they think it has the potential to sell to a much, much wider audience than it currently does.... they compared it to either Professor Layton (which would be a good start) or Brain Training (which is ass-backwards insane)
