"During Square Enix’s special Dragon Quest presentation last July, the publisherindicated that two games in the series would be heading to NX. Those titles in question were the already-released tenth entry as well as the upcoming Dragon Quest XI. There was a tad bit of uncertainty regarding both games on NX following the presentation, but this week’s issue of Famitsu offers a confirmation.

The magazine spoke with director Jin Fujisawa and producer Yosuke Saito as the series celebrated its fourth anniversary last week. In the interview, Saito specifically mentioned NX and PlayStation 4 as being the “climax” of Dragon Quest X. Of course, there were no specifics about how the online RPG will play on Nintendo’s new system."

And Dragon Quest X is still never coming West, so it doesn't particularly matter.

Who cares about Dragon Quest X when Dragon Quest XI is in the corner?

This could mean that it´s finally coming to the west! :D

it's coming to ps4 too, it's an online game, too.

shh, positivity is not allowed!

If they reconfirmed this then I'm pretty sure XI will be coming to NX as well lol.

It never will though. It is a problem with the series and the game type. In the West, Dragon Quest generally does just well enough to warrant localizing the next game. Sale numbers are hardly anything to brag about when Japan generally at least doubles in one country what an entry sells in the rest of the world combined. Now combine the niche appeal with the fact that the game is an MMO, splitting the more single player focused audience that Dragon Quest already appeals to, and you have an incredibly risky move.

Even if the game had a decent number of players at the start, games already naturally see a decline in playerbase over time. How long would it be until Dragon Quest X had so few players they could hardly warrant paying for more than one server? What are the odds of actually not only recouping localization costs, marketing, server costs, and continued content creation, but seeing a profit worthy of all of the effort?

The West was never the market for Dragon Quest X, and it just never will be. Maybe if Dragon Quest had taken off like Final Fantasy ultimately did in the West, but whereas Final Fantasy has become the more Western focused JRPG, Dragon Quest has continued to be a bastion of quality, classic, JRPG in Japan, making an MMO a worthy venture when considering how easily Japan latches on to even a DQ remake.

With rumors of the NX being underpowered I'm imagining this to be like the same scenario as Ni No Kuni with the PS3 and NDS lol

i don't think so "Saito specifically mentioned NX and PlayStation 4 as being the “climax” of Dragon Quest X"

and the rumors are about a powerful handheld that you can connect to your tv, not an "underpowered console".
