Sadly this is likely.
They screwed the Dragon Quest fanbase in Japan by making DQ X a MMORPG, I wouldn't be surprised if in their warped minds they would think this would make up to them by making DQXI a cellphone game with a massive amount of DLC if not just straight Free 2 Play.
Although as a American, it doesn't matter Square Enix pretty much has only put DQ games on the DS and 3DS because they knew or had/have a arrangement with Nintendo where Nintendo handles the localizations outside of Japan.
