That would be horrible for sales, if they are releasing dragon quest IX and FFXIII in the same quarter let alone the same month

What makes you think we will be seeing DQIX anytime soon? We know just as much about that game as we do FFXIII, which is virtually nothing.

"With all that Dragon Quest going around, you've got to wonder if Square Enix might not be risking a little Japanese RPG burnout by the time Dragon Quest IX: Protectors of the Starry Sky hits town on November 20. But the RPG ironmen who've already finished a sequential playthrough of all the remastered Final Fantasys and currently shopping around for future endurance challenges will, of course, be right pleased."

Also the game is most likely going to be released before XIII, because of the shorter developement times.

 

 

Heh even though the article on that page is 05/21/08, if you click on the link to DQIX it goes to this page http://www.1up.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3155836 and the release date is 11/20/2007.....

 

Well it's been confirmed 2008 after being delayed. http://gonintendo.com/?p=23735

 

 

But again that article is from Aug '07 and we haven't heard anything from Level 5 or SE about DQIX for quite sometime.....the game might've been delayed, I mean it's not like SE has never delayed a game before. I hope the game comes out, but L5 is extremely busy at the moment, they are a 150 employee company with 4 projects that are all supposed to be out this year. I also believe the majority of their staff might now be working on WKC.

The game was delayed and they said that the game is going to be released sometime in 2008. I'm pretty sure if it was delayed again they will anounce it. Also the dragon quest remakes coming to the U.S this year even support my theory more because of the hype they will build for DQIX. I disagree, I believe more people will be working on DQ because it is about the 3rd largest jrpg, and the 2nd largest in japan. It's far more important than WKC.  I don't see square enix releasing FFXIII anywhere close to the release of DQIX. I think they will wait for sales to settle down then release FFXIII.
