According to a recent report on Siliconera, Square Enix is only now “considering” the release of Dragon Quest IX outside of Japan.
Sort of. If it happens, don’t expect it until 2010 at the earliest, apparently, Company boss Yoichi Wada has stated.
Considering that Dragon Quest IX has already shipped more than 3.5 million units in Japan, you’d think a western release would be a given…
The Dragon Quest games have always been famously challenging titles, and according to Square Enix, Dragon Quest IX is going to be one of the most challenging yet.
“We made the games to be quite hard,” series creator Yuji Horii told Touch-DS. “It’s harder than any of the previous titles, and the enemies are also powerful… We strengthened the bosses, stuff like that.”
Dragon Quest IX is due out in Japan later this month, so expect it to hit western shores around about sometimes in… oh… 2020 or so.
