Excellent surprise but we still need all the others!

[KABRUTUS]

I've already bought it and nicely added to my collection but we still need the original trilogy that was re-released on PS (Japan) and Switch, we also still need the Dragon Quest X here in the west And PLEASE remaster the old DQ games too!

[jdulzo]

We need 1-8 at least, 10 offline version would be nice too and the dark prince, which still may come after what exclusive they have with nintendo over for the game.

Traitors you all are for excluding 9. As for dqx offline it will come west. Already has a price tag of 199 on steam. Placeholder perhaps, but a price regardless.

It fine if IX comes, I just wasn't a big fan of it.

Yes, DQ I-X and the Dragon Quest Monsters series would be amazing. I don't know why so many of these are on MOBILE, but not PC. Sometimes I really think Square hates money.

Honestly I can saw a chart. PC sales are stable or slow. Vs mobile is 20x higher. Want your game to pay the Bill's and make profit. Atm mobile is where it is. I dont have to like it but it's the facts.

Just release on both, simple as that

Definitely want to see ALL Dragon Quest games available on Steam.
I have the originals, but would prefer to play on PC than having to dust off consoles. :p

But also would love to see the Monsters series brought to Steam.

But you don't have to be a fan to agree that its the only one of the eleven mainline games not available on modern hardware. The remainder are all available on PC, consoles, or tablets. DQ9 hasn't even worked correctly on its platform since Nintendo Wifi connection was shut down in 2014. We're nearing ten years of the game not being playable as intended, which is almost criminal.

It irritates me quite a bit they are completely remaking DQ3 for the fifth time, when its available on even low-capability tablets, but won't bridge the gap to refresh DQ9 or bring DQX to the west (yet.) Its a terrible shame that someone picking up the series now can not easily play all eleven.

Dqx prob has many issues and would be lots of money. Translate, and voice acting. Yes dqx offline has both in Japanese. And overall it didn't sell well. It's in my library I beat it. Took 500 hours.

On top if that you can take that toon to online after beat 1.0 or 2.0. But no western mmo publisher. Possible Amazon or Microsoft picks it up. But my point it has issues. Dqx on steam though does have a global price tag on steam and playable outside japan so it's just a matter of time til we get it.

If they release DQIX here someday i'll buy it in heartbeat.

DQ9's problem is that they have to remake it. They can't simply port it because of the DS's two screen model and the graphics simply wouldn't stand up to the higher resolutions and larger screens of today's devices. This is quite an investment. But I still think its better money spent than trying to get people to spend $60 for a 2D-HD conversion of a game they can buy in "2D-SD" mode for a fraction of that price.

The fact DQX Offline didn't sell well in Japan was entirely expected by everyone except SquareEnix management. It was obvious to every analyst both inside and outside of Japan that the majority of Japanese players would buy (or already had bought) the superior online version, since it was cheaper, had better graphics, and several more chapters of story. The offline version only appealed to Japanese players that wished to play in places they couldn't get a decent wireless signal, like when riding the subway or shinkansen, or traveling outside of Japan. It was known at announcement in the 35th anniversary show that it had a very niche audience in Japan. Everyone with a brain recognized it wouldn't turn profit until localized for the west where it would have much more fertile ground. The fact SquareEnix has been dragging their feet on the western releases, when the only way Offline version was ever going to be profitable is with a worldwide release, is just bad management.
