This information kind of contradicts the previous unconfirmed statement that we heard from Dragon Quest producer, Yuji Horii. Firstly we heard that Horii let slip that Dragon Quest titles Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest VIII are both heading to France and presumably Europe in general. Now Finaland is reporting that a western release for both Dragon Quest titles are “not planned for now.” Both reports were taken from the Japan Expo and it could be that this interview was done before Horii apparently announced on stage that it is heading to France. Hopefully Square Enix will eventually clear up any confusion, or maybe they won’t. Here’s what Horii told the publication:
Finaland : As far as I know, DQ VII and DQ VIII are very popular, a lot of people, and when I mean a lot, it’s A LOT, ask for localizing them in Europe for 3DS
Yuji Horii : (laugh) I do understand that, but it’s not planned for now. Don’t worry, people desires arrive to my desk and we’ll decide what we do
I’d happily throw cash for a port of the two DQ games!
Okay, I gotta ask. Why is SE always so elusive when it comes to bringing Dragon Quest games over?
I thought they were fairly popular and sold well internationally.
cus thay make more money off of over rated shit like ff 7 >_>
Poopy, i want these games in North America. Guess i have to dig out my PS2 copy of Dragon Quest 8.
Check out our first YouTube Quiz! :D
Well fuck it then I’ll just get them for my Japanese 3DS finally then.
i buy and play dragon quest VIII on mine ps2 and i need it for mine 3ds. still own mine original.
but final fantasy 12 is still better. why not ff12 for 3ds? ;)
Ive given up on Dragon “Warrior” a long time ago. Relive the classics, and remember what once was.
And also remember what kind of idiots are in charge over there at Square.
If they would just come out with them I would buy them.
Screw Dragon Quest. Secret of Mana and Legend of Mana deserve a new game damn it. The Mana series has been absent for long enough.

If this was for a Playstation console, it’s day-1 announcement. This is the 3DS we are talking about, Squeenix will not give it that easily unless it’s a rhythm game.
I am actually trying to thing of a Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior game that came to the US that wasn’t published by Nintendo on a Nintendo Platform….well I am at a loss it seems like its been since very early in the regular DS life cycle.

Do you need a nice pair of sunglasses in summer? Well, look at this site, you should have the style you need.
Japanese managers are just stupids, I know what I am talking about I have been in Japan for 8 years, if they do not bring Dragon quest no worries that stupid society can not think about the rest of the world.
