There's an interview with Horii and Shibusawa in Famitsu this week. Not a lot of details but they do mention some interesting things. The concept behind the game is an invasion of a million DQ monsters of different shapes and sizes. The battles with the huge gigantus class monsters are inspired by Toukiden. Apparently development for the game started last year, which might explain why it's coming out so soon. The game will feature fully orchestrated arrangements of various classic DQ tunes from previous games. There will also be classic DQ sound effects, like the chime when you level up.

What's also interesting is when Horii was asked about Dragon Quest 11, he said that it is being developed separately, but that Dragon Quest Heroes is being released with the hope that it will build up excitement among those who play it to make them look forward to the next title. Hmmm...

That would be pretty sick, but it does make little sense. Dragon Quest is a 4m+ franchise and PS4 just doesn't have the userbase.

I still think we're going to see a NiNoKuni-esque 3DS/PS4 release.

or they might want PS4 owners to buy a different system to play DQ11 ;x

There are other games, like Tomb Raider, that are cross gen Holiday 2015, and maybe into 2016 on PS4 depending on how the exclusivity deal works out.

With Japan being behind on taking up development on this new gen I could definitely see cross gen games from Japan well into 2016

I want Dragon Quest Monsters. One of my favorite game series. That will excite me.

Which I don't think anyone would mind. Ni No Kuni was awesome on PS3.

But it seems to me that SE is feeling that a lot of pressure to revitalize the japanese console market is on them (they basically said just that in regards to FF XV), so I think they are very much behind the PS4 and as long as there's a PS4 version of DQ XI and as long as that comes to the west, I'll be happy.

It's Capcom, I don't think we should assume they'll employ logic.

My guess is that they'll "expand the franchise" by having DQ Heroes be the Playstation spin-off brand and continue the main series with Nintendo. They think that makes more sense than a multi-platform release.
