| celador said: In a statement, Square Enix told IGN: "Our aim with Dragon Quest XI and the Dragon Quest brand is to grow the audience in the West. From a business point of view, it made strategic sense to release the 3DS version in Japan in 2017. For the West in 2018, it made the most sense to focus on the PlayStation 4 and PC (Steam) platforms." As for the Switch version, things are slightly less clear. "We are also developing the Switch version for Europe and North America," reads Square Enix's statement, "but development is expected to take a long time from a technological standpoint as well, so we still have a long way to go until its release".

Growing DQ in the West is a smart strategy, because it has become a better franchise than Final Fantasy IMO. Although I'm going to wait for the Switch version. Right now I'm looking to get every multiplat game on Switch. It's just a better format all around.
