DQ > FF in Japan, SE will definitely put more on Wii U and 3DS...provided DQ doesn't bomb. You don't spurn a console by giving it your best IP for the market. So I'm sure SE has plans for Nintendo. But please no FFXIV, every time I walk by my collector's edition copy my heart aches a little. All that anticipation, built a new rig, constant testing with the damn FFXIV score which led to multiple upgrades....even bought an adaptor for my xbox360 controller so I could use it on my PC for this game. After setting up fifty five accounts on 99 servers to be able to log in and find...........This ain't no FFXI sequel! This is Phantasy Star Universe with FF graphics!

You do know about the new engine for FFXIV: ARR, right? It's WAY more efficient with older systems. 1.0 struggled quite a bit on my laptop, but ARR ran flawlessly on it (I was in Alpha). Plus 1.0's engine was seriously flawed as it was not finely tuned to run efficiently on PCs, so it required higher end systems. That won't be the case for ARR. Since you registered the original 1.0 with SE, you will be getting ARR free of charge and sent to you on email when it releases Anyone with a registered FFXIV account gets a free ARR digital download. AND if you got the CE of 1.0 registered, you get the CE for ARR free as well.

Yeah I do have a CE registered.  Thanks!  I was so disappointed with 1.0 I just deleted any emails from SE.  But if they only improved the engine...we're back to square one.  I could run the game smoothly as it were, but it was the content that was disappointing.  Also, 1.0 lacked the right "mood".  Even fishing in ffxi was fun, the music and the settings made for a very enjoyable experience.  In FFXIV, it just felt like everything was disengaged, vast empty more realistic but less fantasy.....it did away with the long wait at IF [red mage][AF1][Potion] blah blah.  But it also did away with the "need" for what was for me, simply addictating battle dynamics.
