Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii has confirmed to Japanese publication V Jump that the next mainline Dragon Quest game won’t be a smartphone based title. With Square Enix bringing a plethora of titles to smartphones, it’s a relief to hear that their next project will be either for consoles or dedicated handhelds. We already know that the next big Dragon Quest title is currently in development.

“Horii-san mentioned that smartphone games are currently mainstream because they can be played when you have a bit of spare time, but he wants to develop something bigger. That’s why he wants to be “more aggressive” with the next Dragon Quest and he doesn’t intend to make it for smartphones.”

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Probably 3DS, hopefully PS4.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

It's probably the 3DS, if they wanted to get a good chunk of the games' sales outside of Japan then the PS4 would make sense, but since DQ historically sells maybe 70-80% in Japan, I'd say it's unlikely that it's anything but the 3DS, unless someone incentivized them to do it on a different platform.

But I'll happily be proven wrong on this.
