Dragon Quest 8 moved up; GT4M pushed back

Dragon Quest VIII for the PS2The U.S. release date for Dragon Quest VIII has been moved up a week to November 15th, while the vague, already exceeded Spring 2005 release date for Gran Turismo 4 Mobile has been pushed back to sometime in 2006 for Japan (and who knows what that means for gamers in other regions).

The change in DQ's retail appointment could have something to do with avoiding a schedule conflict with the launch of the Xbox 360 on the 22nd, but we're sure that Square Enix would love to release their as-yet non-mainstream(-in-the-States) RPG for American audiences as soon as possible to make the all-important holiday shopping season (which tends to kick off after Thanksgiving).

We can only hope for PSP owners who are driving-simulator fans that GT4M will come out with a substantial online multiplayer component, something left out of the eventually released console version of the game.
