Are the games normally announced far in advance like Final Fantasy? |
Oh yeah, DQ IX was announced in December 2006 and didn't release until July 2009 in Japan (a year later in the west)
For DQ X there is this (from Wikipedia):
Dragon Quest X was formally announced by Yuji Horii on December 10, 2008 at a Dragon Quest conference,[14] On September 5, 2011, Square Enix held a Dragon Quest conference where they showed a trailer and confirmed it was for Wii and Wii U.[15] Players of both versions have access to the same world with cross-platform interaction.[16] Upon the initial announcement of the game, Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata compared the Dragon Quest series to the Brain Age series, which was also seen as unmarketable in the West, and declared that he would like to work closely with Square Enix to raise the series' international appeal.[6]
Yeah, good job on that one Iwata.
