[01/04] Dragon Quest Composer Says Dragon Quest X In 2012

[Linnaete]

Dragon Quest series composer, Koichi Sugiyama, just wrapped up a Dragon Quest III concert in Japan. Following the end of the event (that’s some promotional material from the concert to the right), someone at the event tweeted that Sugiyama stated DQX is being developed with the goal of a 2012 release in Japan.

We didn’t run the story at the time because it seemed iffy, but AnimeAnime.jp (via Game Jouhou) have confirmed that Sugiyama did in fact make a statement to that end at the concert, confirming that he’s presently composing music for the upcoming Wii game.

2011 marks Dragon Quest’s 25th anniversary, and while we certainly don’t expect Square Enix to let it go by without some sort of celebration, it looks as though Dragon Quest X won’t be ready in time to celebrate the series’ 25th.

Im guessing for the 25th they give some Demo of Dragon Quest X and maybe some remake of VII or VIII or something like that?

Hm... since Project Cafe is suppose to come out in early 2012, maybe this will be bumped up to that? You have to assume they're continuing the cell shaded graphics from VIII and IX, so that'd make the older graphics easier to cover up. Time will tell, I guess.

Aww, By the time the game's finished, DQ's anniversary will already be over.

I have only played DQ8- is that pretty typical of the series? or is it sort of like FF where each one is pretty different than the previous one.

Is it gonna be Ps3!

If it's only for the Wii I'ma be super pissed

There all pretty similar to DQ8, that mid evil feel, the battle system is all like 8, very minor differences.

Kyoshiro I think its on WII as much as I know so far...inless they say otherwise.
