Dragon Quest is just one of a number of video gaming franchises that is huge in Japan, however, as we all know, that hasn’t been the case here in the west. While the series is popular with role-playing fans it isn’t on the same scale as something like the Final Fantasy brand. Dragon Quest producer Yuu Miyake has reiterated that and hopes with the release of Dragon Quest XI in September on the PlayStation 4 in the west, this should change. Dragon Quest XI is coming to the Nintendo Switch too at an undisclosed point in time.
“From our point of view, [the series is] still not where it needs to be [in the West],” Miyake says.
Thanks to Nintendo First Order 𝓡𝓮𝓪𝓿𝓮𝓻 for the news tip!
How about because you barely ever release it and when you do its piss poor.
Couldn’t have put it any better, too bad he’ll never read this.
Well put! How can the series gain traction if they never release any of the titles? Heck, the last title to get a mainstream release with a big marketing push was DQ9 for the DS and that one did extremely well in the states and even became a fad for a short while…
Piss poor? The game’s are usually better than most Final Fantasy games.
Unless you mean marketing, piss poor isn’t a word I’d use.
Marketing wise, I’m sure the games are great! I’m not a fan of them, but love when a good Japanese series or game gets overseas. However I hate it when they do awful marketing, thus killing a series. Or no marketing at all. (Fatal Frame, DQ, First Xenoblade, The whole raindrop collection etc)

Not even in Japan it is where it needs to be! (Nintendo Switch)🙄
They should rerelease all the old main games in an HD collection,I never got to play a single DQ game,I’d get it for sure.
How about release it on 3ds square Enix since 3ds does have second largest install base this gen. They talk about wanting to appeal to a wider audience but refused to bring it to 3ds on the west. Square Enix are stupid for doing this
You do know that the PS4 is the biggest it ever is in America at the moment right?
Not as big in the west as Monster Hunter, certainly.

me and my girlfriend are currently translating dragon quest 11 and we have translated the first hour with no meme or slang speak, plus we are using correct grammar and it’s looking very good so far once we have half of the game done we’ll post a patch on reddit.
I’m reporting your fan project to Square Enix to close it down. You sick fuck! XD
it’s the 3ds version, you know the one that’s not being localized so get of your high horse! and be happy somebody is doing it.
besides unless you get my actual name you have no case, so you’re powerless.
LOL
Buy a PS4 instead. It’s the same game but in 4K. lol
