DQXI on PS4 makes Square's stocks leap through the roof

The game coming to PS4 was just a rumor that Square denied though but the effect that rumor had, that's what is important.

Now the question is, why they don't do it? They shut themselves in the foot over and over again in the last generation trying to make all their games exclusive to the X360. They seem to be so stupid they can't make the right decisions even when it is so obvious. The same with Capcom, Platinum Games, Mistwalker, etc. Japanese companies are so stupid they think their reach would expand in the west if they go with Xbox or Nintendo for some illogical reason, although that reasoning changed to mobile now.

Dragon Quest is a big deal in Japan.

So much so, in fact, that a mistaken report that claimed Dragon Quest was in fact coming to the PlayStation 4 sent Square Enix's stock crashing through the roof. After the highly respected business publication, Nikkei, made the mistaken report (mistaking Dragon Quest Heroes 2 for a new "proper" Dragon Quest game), Square Enix's stock lept to 2788 yen; the highest point it's been this year.

Going multiplatform would make their reach more broad. Exclusivity with either platform hurts them if they want to saturate the western market.

Day 1 Buy on my PS4

It needs this game

this game will sell ps4's crash an burn and doesn't need to be multiplat pc users will want this game itss dragon quest xbone users will want this its a jrpg

this doesn't need to be multiplat ppl will buy systems for this game they like peic dragon quests look at japan there gonna run buy an throw away there mobile phones

Day 1 for me as well!

DQ doesn't sell that much outside of Japan

the power of DQ in jpn is insane.

Mainline Dragon Quest games only go to the console that sells the most.

hint: It's not PS4, it's 3DS.

There is good reason PS3 never saw a Dragon Quest or Persona game. These games cost too much and if sales are not met, it hurts bad. Its good for PS4 to get these games, but i highly doubt they can sell as much as they do on 3DS. PS4 owners buy different games, just look at their top 20 lists.

wait didn't ff type zero sell over 2 million just for a demo of ff15 an it was 60 dollars?

i wouldn't call that niche brah

Sad that Square executives are getting richer for doing jack shit.

Square-Enix already confirmed Dragon Quest XI will be made "for home consoles" not "handheld consoles".

Considering the Xbox One is selling like crap in Japan, that most likely means PS4 and PS3 multiplat.

All I'm saying is that if you're a dev and you want to make money but your game's not on PS4 then you're doing it wrong.

The less mobile games the better.

PS4 needs this... I would totally buy a brand new PS4 like the ones in Japan that are silver with the metal slime.

Final Fantasy is the staple name of JRPGs in the west, everything else for the most part is treated as niche.

The game needs to be on either PS4 or Wii U because I feel it would do very poorly on Xbox One. Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia and Eternal Sonata did very poorly on 360 with the shooter crowd.

IDGAF if it's multiplat or exclusive, as long as PS4 or PC is in the mix.

Or Vita! ;P

Yup, it won't make much difference to the Western markets.

I have never been a fan of the art style but... I am willing to check it out as more info leaks out.

Then they find out its not a JRPG
