Because the 3DS is awesome and has a huge installed base and is filled with fans of the series?

Same reason Nintendo only releases the main Pokemon games on their handhelds. Nintendo and SE will always put the japanese market first.

No, Pokemon always was on Nintendo handhelds.
Dragon Quest VIII was on PS2.

Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Well, Dragon Quest games usually are released on the best selling system in Japan. To be fair I thought it would release on mobile, so better than I thought. Sad that isn't a handheld multiplat, but what am I going to do?

You know it deserves the GOTY.

If only this was released here... Oh, and DQVII as well. Square-Enix must hate its western Dragon Quest fanbase something fierce if all we get is an action spin-off (which I'm still buying).

I´ve been wanting to play this game for years!

It would be awesome if it´s a good port coming to the west :)

SE is very neglectful of their western DQ fanbase v.v it makes me mad that this is my fave game series because of it
