Hope stays Exclusive

This game will never be multiplat as long as Nintendo is in charge of localization/marketing. Why alienate the company that are willing to help market your series to a much broader audience? It doesn't make sense at all for SE from a business standpoint.

In short, No.

you know it is not fair to compare the final fantasy XIII to any title that SE has done so far on wii cuz none of those title would have done any better if there were released on ps3

Did you even see what i replied to?

The fact is, PS3 has brought more sales for Square Enix than the Wii. So the original post i quoted was wrong.

Nintendo will publish the game ...so its not gonna happen ^^

You can't say it will never control like anything else. You aren't SE, and you don't make the game.

The chances are it will control like other DQ games, but it isn't 100% certain.

I didn't compare it to any. I compared it to all... And gave FFXIII a single region, while the rest had every region they had released in.

Tbh this thread is coming across as a "now that FFXIII has passed I want DQX on my console", SE have yet to make a serious attempt on the Wii so comparing whats out to FFXIII sales is quite frankly laughable. DQIX sits at around 4.22m in Japan alone while FFXIII is probably around at 2.5m now world wide, DQX will most likely outsell FFXIII in Japan within a month of release.

Let me lay it out for you, then. I'm not sure how much Dragon Quest you've played, so I'll be as explicit as necessary.

Dragon Quest is often criticized in the West for being needlessly formulaic and holding to modes that are entirely too old. Its system changes considerably from game to game - in some ways - but at its heart its still about going around beating up mosnters quickly and cleanly with nothing getting in the way. The whole premise behind Dragon Quest is not just ease of use, but holding to old forms that facilitate that ease of use in a specific way.

Dragon Quest IX was going to have touch controls. Nothing that really changes the game! Just touch controls. They built th whole system of the game around.

When that was revealed, the uproar was unreal. Like, "Made the initial reaction to the Gambit system look like a letter to the editor" unreal. The Japanese fanbase lashed out at Square-Enix with such force that Square scrapped the entire thing, went back to square one, and redid it. It's part of why the game took so long to come out.

Part of Dragon Quest's identity in Japan - which is the most important market unless Nintendo manages to do some crazy voodoo shit in the West - lies in that simplicity of form and familiarity of function which has allowed an absurd number of Japanese people to play it (and even beat it) for decades.

So, fine. You want to say I can't know? That's cool. I acknowledge that. But it still invalidates this topic.

1. We have no indication that the game is goign to involve motion controls.

2. We have many (historic and otherwise) that it will not.

3. Following from (1) and (2), you are basing this supposition concerning the possibility of a multiplat release on an ida with no grounding in reality. That's like me saying that the next Zelda might be a cross-platform release between the DS and the Wii - yeah, I mean, there's no indication that it will happen, but it still merits discussion, right?

Wrong.

There comes a certain point wherein the suppositions that we make are so far outside the realm of reasonable expectation that they cannot be treated seriously, or even used as the jumping-off point for serious discussion.

It's not impossible! Sure, I grant that. But your primary supposition, in itself far from being a guarantee, is so unlikely that the idea is not worth seriously considering until we get some indication to the contrary.

Do i want to bet that it isn't 100% likely to happen...?
